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.

Great one for getaway holidays with beautiful nature and atmosphere.

Wonderful peaceful location. Avoid the weekends as often events are held across the village that can be very noisy. We have visited two years in a row, this time for 5 days. A children park has unfortunately opened just across from the best villas which can create a great deal of noise at the weekends and evening with children’s screams and equipment clanging. Again stick to weekdays and that noise is minimal. Staff are amazing specially the staff in the restaurant. Highlights are the pho, crepes with strawberry jam for breakfast. Their pan fried river fish, beef in blackened bamboo, their cake and especially their afternoon tea (low tea). Well worth the money. Have it late in the afternoon to avoid the heat of the day. Hot stone massage was incredible and fixed my husbands frozen shoulder and the pain I had been having in my back. Having a private pool was delightful and was several degrees cooler than the main pool so could enjoy it during the hottest parts of the day. Spend more than a day here. Borrow the bikes and explore far afield. There are many many villages around and don’t be scared of the main road. Bike single file and keep to the right. Cycle clockwise and you will be able to enjoy a downward glide all the way through the main town of Mai Chau.

Just spent 2 nights in a Deluxe Twin Room and I wish I could have stayed longer. The setting look out over the rice fields and the valley is so relaxing and dream like. All of the staff that I interacted with were lovely. The free bikes were in good condition and I enjoyed taking a morning cycle around the area. The breakfast was good, and for lunch and dinner I enjoyed trying meals at the local homesteads which are a short stroll away. Evening dance is a lovely inclusion. I would absolutely recommend staying here. They are doing some renovations during the day right now but they take a break in the middle of the day and the room that I stayed in was far enough away that I barel noticed it. Do bring ear plugs just in case as any noise does carry across the valley so if there's a late party in town you will hear it but earplugs solve this and I believe there's a noise curfew so once that hits the night sounds of nature is lovely. The shuttle to and from Hanoi is also super handy. It's a long drive but there is a brief comfort stop.
