We loved our stay here. The staff is super friendly, it is peaceful. We miss showering under the stars and all the exotic birds singing all the time. Only downside was the heat at times, fans were not enough. The fact that the city or anything to do is far away, but we loved all the tours they offered and took advantage of these for activities. Lastly the kitchen uses a lot of oil, I wish things were not always fried so heavily.
We had a wonderful stay! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. It’s an open air eco lodge so don’t expect luxury...if you’re looking for a true, immersive experience in the Mekong delta, then stay at the Nguyen Shack! The organized tours along the river and to the floating market leave right from the lodge and are totally worth it! We would stay here again!
Stayed 3 nights, be prepared to sit in a hammock with a book and wind down, went on 5.30am boat to market, a must do and a sunset one too. We took bikes out all around the waterways, use google maps as no signs! Food here very good so no need to look for restaurants. For quieter room try to be over the bridge away from pool, & bar, we tried to change but full, in the end though we loved our room up a loft ladder open to the water. It’s really quirky here and staff are simply brilliant. Helps If you like cats & dogs who live in too.
Offers and authentic Vietnam experience with rustic, no nonsense accommodations! Staff was very friendly and helpful, and quality of the food was very good!
Stunning location, great reasonable priced tours, yummy food and the friendliest staff!
I had a great time at this laid back hotel by the Mekhong Delta. Easily reached by fancy sleeper bus from Saigon and then a short taxi ride, this place is a great base to relax and explore life on the Mekhong Delta. I took two tours here, one evening food tour and another day trip to see the floating markets, cocoa farm and how they make noodles. Both were excellent, my highlight being eating Pho on the boat for breakfast!
The girls that work here are absolutely lovely and always have a smile and something nice to say to you. They really make the difference to your stay. Thank you!
If you are looking for an authentic Mee Kong stay look no further. The Nguyen shack is on a very quiet section of one of the waterways with airy thatched hut shacks. The staff are amazing and the the food is great. We enjoyed the excursions including the floating market tour and bike tour where got an authentic tour of the area including an elementary school, Buddhist temple and rice factory. The kids loved to play all the kittens and puppies that reside on the premises. We loved our stay. Bring bug spray

Authentic with great staff , tour fantastic vfm would recommend the shack to anyone who wants a little piece of authentic Vietnam . No luxury just great staff and good honest food
The only concern was the mattress in the dorm/bunkhouse felt like concrete. Otherwise very enjoyable. Floating market tour (extended version $US25) superb. Bicycle tour 2hrs $US8 superb, incl lunch at a Buddhist pagoda come orphanage. Staff were lovely, locals very friendly. Relaxing plsce.
The BEST staff in Vietnam.Second time there and going back August next year with sister for her 60th birthday. Kim SUPER. cannot help enough to all visitors.
Took great care of us. We did the sunset cruise and floating market. Everyone spoke great English and was very nice. Rooms were comfortable. Plenty of food options. Would love to stay there again.
Home stay experience with lovely, helpful staff. Felt like we were a million miles away from it all. We loved our rustic shack at the end of the row with just a duck on the river to keep us company. Tours were great fun especially the early morning floating market - it's a must do. Cycling around the local area was also great fun with lots of friendly locals waving hello. Food was freshly prepared, delicious and reasonably priced.
The staff are amazing! They’re all so friendly and accommodating. The tours are prefect for experiencing Can Tho. They’re organized in a way that you can do them all in a short stay and they all leave right from the Shack which is very convenient. We did the Sunset Tour, the Floating Market Tour, the Bike Tour, and the Food Tour and would recommend them all. A very unique experience and our bungalow was very cute. The food was good and it’s convenient that you can eat right at the Shack. Thanks for an amazing stay! A highlight of our trip.
We only had one short night in the Nguyen Shack in Can Tho, but the staff went out of its way to make us feel at home and take care of us. How, Phu, and Nguyen were fantastic!
The reason for giving 5 stars is because the staff is absolutely wonderful and the owners responded quickly to a concern of ours. The first part of arrival was a little rough. The taxi dropped us off at the turn off from the main road. We thought it would be a little walk. It was about 1/4 mile walk, which normally isn't a problem, but with luggage it was not pleasant. We were greeted with a cold drink, then taken by boat to the other property that they purchased a couple of years ago, which has all the amenities of original property. My husband and I had a private room with a private bathroom. There is no air conditioning, but we were fine because there were 2 fans in the room. We did the floating market the next day. It was fun to see. A coffee boat pulled up to our boat and I bought an iced coffee with milk for 10K Dong. It was fun and tasty! The tour also includes a walk around the street market. Our guide bought different things for us to try. Great experience! The property is right on one of the small river canals. It is very relaxing to lounge in a hammock an read a book. The Internet is pretty fast. Some people were talking to their families using Face Chat (I think that's what it is called) on their phones without any problem. The breakfast is great. You order off the menu and there is a good selection. You can order as much as you want. The restaurant is right there for lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. The beer and sodas were 15-20K Dong (less than $1)
