We had an overnight stay here and the rooms are lovely and comfortable. They provided us with mosquito nets, which I generally a must out in the middle of the forest as you can get bitten alive. They food was excellent. We tried snake & water rat for the first time and definitely isn’t for the faint hearted. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Pleasant stay

The very ornate main room of the main house belies the rather plainer rooms in the other building where you stay. Having said that , the rooms were clean and en-suite. Showers are cold but a hot version is available in a separate bathroom which is fine. The air conditioning costs an extra 50,000 Dhong which is next to nothing and the best option. Best of all was the food at lunch and dinner. We had some beautiful fish, spring rolls, rice, noodles, greens, fruit etc. There are beers and other drinks including wine available to buy and the hosts will demonstrate how to cook some dishes including, in our case,corn cakes, which was great. Breakfast was a little odd with la vache qui rit cheese wedges and eggs but both the other meals were excellent and more than we could eat. They hire out bikes for cycling along the canal tow paths which is a very relaxing thing to do BUT make sure you get bikes that work. They have a very relaxed attitude to bike maintenance and we had bikes with no brakes, bikes with no gears , bikes with gears that didn’t work etc but having complained , the next day they were replaced with marginally better ones so do check. The two house dogs are lovely things; less lovely is the full sized python kept in a concrete box by the entrance which is said to be a pet but seems more like a prisoner.

Lovely owners, decent rooms

We stopped for lunch. Relaxing and enjoyable halt. Decent menu choice with tasty homemade food. Owners are welcoming and resourceful cooking for kids (we were 3 families with 5 kids). Fresh juices. Possibility to rent bikes for riding around. 

Choice and value for lunch

Stayed as a apart of a Contiki group here, the rooms are very comfortable. The family are very kind and helpful. They fed us a great home made meal and also provided great insight into the area of what we could do during our stay.

Great group stay

I was on this Delta Island to attend a wedding and was quite busy with this activity which did not allow me to take advantage of what this homestay had to offer which was quite a a lot.  This was my first time in a Homestay and it certainly exceeded my expectations.  The value was unbelievable.  The breakfast and evening meal were included and both were delicious.  The evening meal is well worth the trip alone.  When I had free time from the wedding duties it was the most relaxing time I have had in a long time, just to lounge around the garden.  The staff were great and good English to communicate with.  The room was functional and for the price I would have to say excellent but remember it is a Homestay which offers value not the Hilton.

Extreme Value

We stayed here for two nights and was a bit disappointed with the room and stay, there is no air-conditioning and they do not clean the room every day. Breakfast was ok, having just bread and soft cheese wedges and banana one morning, the same the next day but with an omelette extra. The rooms really need a proper paint. The lack of hot water didn't bother us as it was hot outside and a cold shower was welcomed. 

We booked a tour through them that wasn't too bad as it had many elements to it. But like others have said no explanations at all and the market was dead even though we were there at about 7 am.. Next we went on a few smaller boats through one of the canals which were quite nice. We went to two factories, honey and sweets. 

The family is really very friendly and the dinner (which you pay an extra 220 000 dong for) was very nice and enjoyable. But the lack of air-conditioning and the tour of silence spoiled the experience for us.

Nice but disappointing 

Staying at the Bay Thoi Homestay was a great way to spend a night in the Mekong Delta. They had pretty good wifi. The family were very nice and did a musical performance for us, as well as made nice food. The rooms and bathrooms were basic but clean. 

Pleasant owners

We paid $18 for one night (saw it on Booking but didn't book in advance when it was 1/3rd off online) which I feel was a little unjustified. Namely no hot water or a/c which I would expect for this price. However the owner is really friendly with good English, wifi is good, there is free bicycle hire and breakfast included. The grounds of the homestay are beautiful with so many trees and plants, take out a bicycle and explore and you won't be disappointed! It just wasn't what I was expecting from a homestay unfortunately. 

Lovely but overpriced

We stayed two nights there and it felt long. There is no family to meet and no exchanges possibles, except with the cute dogs. Staff is not friendly, excepté for the owner wich is really nice.
They have a big boa in a cage since ten years, to attract tourists :-(
We wanted to go to the floating market and we payed 20$ (quite expensive) to have a nice boat trip but with no explainations about anything and furthermore, there was no market at the end. If you want to see the market you have to go around 5am. 9:00 is too late. 
Breakfast is really basic: one bread, one kiri cheese and some strawberry jam full of sugar. 
At the end, we payed 2million dong wich is really expensive (we stayed at another place five nights and we payed less in Phu quoc!)
