Hotels near Cờ Ðỏ

Located among rice fields and fruit farms in the heart of the Mekong Delta with direct access to the backwaters, the Ricefield Lodge is spotlessly clean, very comfortable and extremely welcoming. Communication with Martin before arrival was clear and prompt. The information given was helpful for planning. One of Martin’s taxi drivers was waiting for me at the airport; Vi, who welcomed me on arrival at the Lodge was the epitome of Vietnamese hospitality; Mymy’s cooking was sooooo delicious-probably the best I’d eaten on my trip. Everything at the Lodge was delivered in a relaxed way and with a smile and a story. I’d recommend taking the advice given regarding transport, doing the short cycling tour around the ‘neighbourhood’, doing the day tour with Mr Lay and of course Martin’s own speedboat tour of the Floating Markets. It was lovely to see the positive relationship he has built up with the locals in the floating markets. There are few places left where you can be right in the heart of ‘local living’ with all the comforts you might want: the Ricefield Lodge delivers on this. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it and hope I can return sometime soon.

I stayed for 3 nights in the “pastel scheme” room. I loved it because is cosy, feminine, comfortable with the river view, have a big bathroom assigned. The owners have a second room, above the library/cafe ( very quiet tho) which is more like 2 big rooms linked, in a rustic, traditional style. The whole place is build, decorated very tastefully. I think that’s because the owners are wood crafters, masters really and they have an eye for interior design. Amazing place and atmosphere and I wanted to stay longer.
