I don't even know where to start. This place is actually a home first and hostel/homestay second and most importantly feels exactly this way. I was only volunteer at the time, had an opportunity to take part in rebuilding the space, learned a lot in the process and immersed the local culture. Ngoc is truly wonderful person, makes sure you feel like home and helped me to explore the culture more. More than grateful, thanks for everythiingg.✨️🤟🏼

The host is very welcoming and it was the best local experience I've had in Vietnam. Some days we went on a trip to his friends and met local Vietnamese people who were the most welcoming. Really enjoyed the experience!

Highly recommend volunteering here!! Ngoc was so welcoming and such a cool person. I felt really involved with what to do to contribute volunteering. Some days we didn't work and I was shown local life. I really enjoyed feeling like there was a great work/exploring balance. I can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for how wonderful this was!

The guest house is a very special place, I wouldn't miss it when visiting Ho Chi Minh; as a volunteer or guest. Ngoc, the owner, has a very warm heart and makes sure anyone who steps foot into his homestay is treated like family. I spent many months, coming back to this place, as I was always welcomed with open arms. I definitely recommend volunteering here for long term :')

It was a very chill experience, very enjoyable. Ngoc is kind, generous, and laid-back. I had fun and the place is so cute, tucked away from the usual hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh.

I loved my stay here!! Ngoc and everyone else at the homestay is very warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is very chill and the tasks are easy and quick to finish. When you have time, the boss takes you out to try some local food spots or show you around the city. We also did some cool DIY projects. Generally, I can only recommend this stay due to its authenticity and very unique vibe. One thing you should be aware of though is that the place is located quite close to the airport so you do here a lot of planes flying by. I personally did not mind and would love to visit again soon :)

It was really unique place. I met so many interesting people, live with locals, eat lunch and dinner together. People there become a family. I had tried many things. Also I can feel local life. I maked a friends there. It was sad to leave. Recommend if you want to meet travellers and locals

Awful experience. We exchanged a lot of messages beforehand, the host seemed really cool but when we arrived, he was not there. No one welcomed us, we tried contacting him and after a few hours of not answering (it was around midnight and we were in the middle of nowhere) he told us that he couldn't be there because : he wasn't even in Vietnam ! This was so disappointing and we truly felt disrespected. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. A guy that apparently lives there and did not speak a word of English pointed us our room. No proper door, no light, insect and cockroaches everywhere, no AC

Family. I was supposed to stay for two weeks and I stayed for a month. A magical place just outside the mess of the city. Ngoc is a nice person who tries to connect people. I learned new things by helping him with daily tasks and I had a lot of fun with the other volunteers. I felt at home. Thank you for everything. See you soon
