Minh Viet Homestay

Can Tho


Closer to Cai Rang floating market than Can Tho, this is a rustic guesthouse consisting of basic rooms with mozzie nets and thatched roofs. Minh and his family are welcoming, congenial hosts, and he's happy to take guests on whirlwind tours of the countryside and the floating markets, or rent out free bicycles to explore the local area.

Bring earplugs to block out the chugging of early-morning boats.
