The owners were very friendly and cooked you breakfast. The location is very hard for Grab drivers to get to. Best to walk out to the main road to catch a Grab ride.

The hosts, Tri and Moon, are the most hospitable people I have yet met, in a nation of hospitable people. They have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

The rooms were clean with a great view of the river. The pool was a great place to relax in the heat as well. I highly recommend this place

simply, the best

Moon River was fantastic! They are so friendly and accomodating. They go out of their way to make you feel at home, to invite you out for breakfast and coffee, and give you rides into town. This is by far the best experience I've ever had at a guest house.

Awesome experience

Large modern room, great air com. Beautiful view of the river and 3 minutes bicycle ride to the beach. Hosts Moon and Tri are extremely friendly and took me to breakfast everyday as part of the room charge and were happy to drive me anywhere. Amazing friendly service.

A truly awesome home stay - you won't regret it!

Our stay with Tri and Moon proved one of the leading highlights of our three week trip to Vietnam and contributed much to our enjoyment of Hoi An. Both were extremely welcoming and friendly throughout, offering helpful advice on what to see and where to go as well as answering our many questions. For a small fee they even shuttled us to and from their home during our evenings out, a real help as Hoi An after dark is definitely not to be missed.

We were initially checked into a room at the front of the house and while luxuriously comfy and clean (the beds in particular are unbelievably soft, as you'll find out!), our hosts very generously offered to move us to a room at the back of the property with views over the garden and river beyond. Overall, the house embodies a peaceful and serene feeling of intimacy that you just don't get with a hotel.

Finally, I can't wrap this up without mention of Tri and Moon's offer to take us out early in the morning to enjoy an authentic Vietnamese breakfast in their company. This was an absolutely brilliant experience and one of the many little touches that made our stay such a pleasant one. If we are ever in Hoi An again - and we'd love to return - we know where we'll be staying!!

Moon River Delight

Best place I have stayed on my thus far 8 week trip. The host family is extremely accommodating. Room is very clean and quiet. Very close to beach. A little further to the town center but the bike provided makes the trip doable.

Great Hosts, Great Place

Tri and Moon (the two hosts) became very good friends throughout our stay. They showed us to their favourite restaurants and breakfast places. Truly wonderful to stay with them.
The location is great, just 10-12 minutes by bicycle to the old town and 8 minutes to An Bang Beach. The Vegetable village was tranquil, beautiful. The rooms were comfortable to stay in.

Great place to spend peaceful holidays

If you don't expect five-star-service, I can objectively recommend this place to you. It was one of my best choices ever. If I visit Hoi An again, this homestay villa deserved to be my top-notch residence. Hosts were very kind, diligently maintained their facilities, and if you have any special request, they would find reasonable solution. And, last but not least, even though the location of the moon river villa is a little bit apart from the old town of Hoi An (about 10~15 minutes by bicycle), but because of that you can see normal farming lives of local people and enjoy peaceful times.

Comfortable homestay with wonderful hosts

Clean, comfortable room in quiet and beautiful surrounds. The hosts, Moon and Tri, were fantastic and offered insights into the Vietnamese culture and lifestyle. I was privileged to share a traditional Vietnamese meal with them at one of their favourite restaurants. They also have a super cute dog. Free use of bicycles for commuting and transfers are easily organised through the hosts. They organised for a scooter with driver to take me to My Son, and transfers between the accommodation and train station/airport.

The location is in the village surrounded by farms which means it is quiet and, in my opinion, beautiful scenery. An Bang beach is about 1km away and the town is about 2.5km away (short trips on the bicycle). The weather is hot so these trips might make you a hot, sweaty mess. Taxis or scooter transfers can be organised for a small fee.

The bed was comfortable, the bedroom and bathroom were clean and included a fridge, TV, desk with chair and wardrobe. Basic toiletries are provided as in a hotel (toothbrush, comb, etc.) and the air conditioner worked well. There are both Western and Vietnamese breakfast options - try the Cao Lau it's delicious!

All in all, it provided all the comforts of a hotel with a more personal touch through the interaction with the Vietnamese hosts. Best suited for those seeking a more traditional insight to Vietnamese life and a quiet place to stay. Those more inclined to party all night in town might be better off staying elsewhere.

5 Star Hotels could learn about customer service

both the places we stayed in Vietnam could teach 5 star hotels across the world about customer service. Nothing was too much trouble and all given with a genuine smile and desire to help. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Our charming and friendly hosts offered us free dinner on our night of arrival and again on our night of departure. With local tips and always thinking of our best interests we were more than delighted with our stay and would be happy to recommend this B&B to all travellers who want a little piece of Vietnam away from the \"Madding Crowd\".

The hand-made farewell card was the extra touch that makes me smile every time I look at it on the window sill in my study.

BEST Homestay & Villa in Hoi An

Sweetest couple ever!!! We stayed in Hoi An for 4 days and it was the best experienced we ever had, thanks to the warm welcome and friendliness of Mr. Tri and Ms. Nguyet, our hosts.
The location of the homestay is really peaceful, quiet and beautiful with the view of the river, the fresh smell of the Tra Que vegetables, the paddy field with water buffaloes, cows make it a perfect scenery. The amenities, furniture and the decoration inside are also really nice and clean. Also not to mentioned Ny, a lovely and cute doggy that really enjoyable to play with.
We are so lucky to have such an wonderful hosts, as they take time showing us around the city, traveling to Tam Ky by motorbike, enjoying the local street food and helps us to find the best tour for scuba diving in town. Along with that are their friendliness, super awesome characteristic of them as they have done for us so many favors during this trip that it's more than a host: they are truly a friend and make us like a family to them.
Those things make this homestay STAND OUT the most and for us the BEST homestay in Hoi An.
I will come back again and strongly recommend the Moon River Homestay & Villa for anyone who would be in Hoi An.
Thank you so much again anh Tri, chi Nguyet for everything you have done for us during this best trip!

A nice stay

In general, the hostel is nice for relaxation. The bathroom and wifi service are good. The staff there were very nice and helpful. However, it is not very convenient to get to some tourist spot from the hostel.

Excellent homestay

Mr. and Mrs. Tri will welcome you into their home and treat you like VIP. The villa is about 10 mins drive away from the main city, but our hosts were kind enough to drive us into town whenever we wanted to go, and let us know that we could go to their office in town to get picked up. They also have bicycles for guests to use. They took us out to try local food and we experienced local activities with them. We had a wonderful trip in Hoi An because of them. The villa is situated in a farm near the river so it is quiet and peaceful. We loved staying at the Moon River Villa!

Utrolig koselig sted å bo

Fantastisk hyggelig vertsskap som virkelig gikk inn for at jeg skulle ha det hyggelig. Jeg ble kjørt hit og dit på scooter (Tri, far i huset dukket tilfeldigvis opp med scooteren hver gang jeg var på vei ut døra og tilbød å kjøre meg dit jeg skulle), og jeg ble fortalt en del om livet i den lokale landsbyen på veien. Jeg elsket at stedet lå litt vekk fra stranda, slik at jeg fikk en tur gjennom den hyggelige landsbyen og fikk se litt mer enn turiststrømmen nede ved stranda. Jeg dro alene sist, men nå gleder jeg meg til å ta med både kjæreste og tenåringsdatter for å besøke Tri og Moon igjen. Dette er virkelig et av de mest sjarmerende stedene jeg har bodd. Siste formiddagen jeg hadde i Vietnam tok Tri og Moon meg med på frokost og kafé i Hoi An - en fantastisk avslutning på et oppriktig hyggelig opphold.
