Mai Chau Ecolodge

Everything is good,, but location so so,, Kind, Food, quiet, is very good Thanks

Cycling around with the free bikes we can rent from the hotel, we thought we had made the best choice of stay for Mai Chau. The room was large and came with a huge round bathtub. Breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we had during our time in North Vietnam. Staff were always trying to help you.

This was an amazing place to stay. They had bikes for us to borrow and even yoga mats if you wanted. They have a traditional dance for show in the evenings and plenty of activities that cost extra like hiking and boat tours. The service was amazing. My favourite thing was the breakfast buffet. I woke up extra early to make sure I had a seat on the outside to enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains while I ate.

Great one for getaway holidays with beautiful nature and atmosphere.

When we first looked at some reviews, it appeared the Eco lodge was a bit far from the villages and meals had to be had at the lodge. Nothing like that. The lodge is in an elevated, perfect location, with a mountain backdrop and almost surrounded by rice paddies. Views from our room balcony/ verandah were simply amazing. The rice paddies and workers just a 100m or so away just going about there daily toil was interesting to watch, as were the massive mountains and jungle. There are at least 4 or 5 villages tucked away behind the tree line but they are only a 10 minute stroll or you can borrow the free bikes. The pool is fantastic as are the gardens and landscape. The staff are so friendly (like all of the Vietnamese we met), especially Xuan with her beautiful smile. We did have most meals at the lodge and they were delicious. We booked a car and guide to take us to Pa Co markets about 30 minutes away. Recommend this trip with a guide who led thru the market and village where we had a very special moment with a family who invited us into their very basic home. We cannot say enough good things about the Lodge. If you want peace and quiet amidst the mountains and rice fields, with the option of walks to the villages (with a bit of Karaoke) then this is the real experience, we could have stayed another week.

We visited the hotel on our trip through Vietnam. The place is beautiful and the food is delicious. We took part in a bike tour organized by the hotel and used the time to relax in the pool. In the evening there was a festival in the village. It was a wonderful stay.

Great view from our room and bikes available at all times to explore the nearby villages. Restful environment. Evenings traditional dance show was wonderful. We booked a suite that offers a private pool. We stayed 3 days and already made a reservation for a return visit in October 2024.
