Bamboo Riverside Boutique Hotel

Location: Situated on the Mekong river, offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere. Although slightly isolated from Ben Tre town, the location provides a peaceful retreat with easy access to local attractions such as Con Phung.

The hotel consists of bungalows. What is good is that there are bungalows like ours with two rooms, so children are separate. The size is good and the bed comfortable. The bathroom is also fine with a shower and a bath. Electricity outage can happen and there are a lot of mosquitos here, so be prepared with repellent. The pool is good - maybe it was the day but it was not as warm as the other pools we tried on the trip. The restaurant is nice as a place but disappointing as a service. The meal is prepared somewhere else and is really not good in comparison with everything we ate in Vietnam. The service is below standard - one of the boys was really trying - the others were watching their phones, instead of watching the clients. Everything was brought to the restaurant by women, who were not allowed to come to us. I had no wish to give my tip to those boys - I wish there was a way to give it to the women that did the job. Overall, the most disappointing experience. I had a massage which was nice but clearly overpriced - about 800,000 dong. At other places, you can find for half the price. I would not say it was exceptional as well but the girl was really trying hard and was very nice. Overall, a place with a lot of potential, if the management ensures that the service is good.
