Support the local community to stay in a local family run homestay.

Lovely family run homestay as close as you can get to the crossing over to the National Park. Perfect village location, great air conditioning, and wonderful home grown fruit.

Fresh fruit, comfy beds, and actual wildlife, what more do you need?

We had such a wonderful stay here. A huge thank you to Mr Long and his family for taking such great care of us from the moment we arrived. They were so warm, welcoming and looked after us throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, and the fresh fruit was some of the best we’ve had, full of flavour. The rooms were lovely and very comfortable, with plenty of places to sit and relax and just enjoy the peaceful surroundings (and chickens). I would also highly recommend Mr Long’s sunset boat trip. We saw more wildlife than we were lucky enough to spot in the National Park the following day! It was a real highlight of our stay. We’re very grateful for such a special experience. Thank you 😊

You got so much value for the price. The family is so friendly and helpful. Mr. Ba long helped me a lot in terms of booking tours at the park. The food they offer is amazing, all fresh ingredients from the garden. The drinks are amazing especially coffee. I recommend you stay at this place if you visit cat tien park. The hotel is close to cat tien national park.

Good aircon, no view

Great location (but not actually on the river as the photo suggests). Good Aircon (but you can't enjoy the view at the same time because you need to close the shutters). Good mosquito net (especially as there's no glass in the windows). You can pay by credit card (but there's an additional fee for doing so).

Great location a couple mins walk from paek entrance. Super friendly staff. Boat tour at 0600 with host was awesome, saw multiple groups of monkeys. AC wasn't working in our room so host kindly moved us to identical room with working AC. Egg bread and fruit for breakfast, standard for Vietnam free breakfasts. Coffee included on request.

Loveliest stay at Forest side EcoLodge! We loved all the help prior to arrival in booking the right bus, all the help while there in booking the park safari, the boat tour at dawn to see wildlife, the great kindness of the hosts, the delicious fruits that we were given many times a day, and of course the facilities One of our best stay in Vietnam!

Beautiful family lodge

The family who runs the place is very friendly and always smiling. If you need any information, Mr. Long is always there to help you. You can also enjoy lunch or dinner on-site—the food is delicious and the portions are generous! The only downside for us was the mattress, which was too hard and caused me some back pain. However, if I were in the area in a future, I would definitely choose this little piece of paradise again:)

À great vietnamese experience. I warmly recommend

Very friendly family. Took great care of us including giving us unsollicited ginger tea to fight off a cold. Great place to book a river experience. Long is experienced and has the Best Price. Saw lot’s of wildlife. Best value for money in a organic fruit or hard
