Description
The first cab off the rank as you enter Lac Village, and it seems to be the most popular. It's located right on the main road, just passed the village gate, with good views of the rice fields. They also feature an outdoor pool table, some birds in cages, and a gift shop on the ground floor. Their three common rooms seem to be ideal for really large groups, and it's well-positioned for views of the rice fields. But it's looking slightly old and dingy compared to some of the other houses, and you probably can't anticipate the kind of friendly family atmosphere you might get at a less popular place off the main road, or in Pom Coong village.

Guest House 19
Lac Village, Mai Chau
This house offers the standard communal rooms on the field side of the road, which perhaps gives you a closer view of the rice harvest but the difference between here and others is barely appreciable. The motto of this place is Very please to honour you -- something we can all enjoy. When asked the... more



Guest House 1
Poom Village, Mai Chau
This is a larger place with two big communal rooms and pleasant views of the adjacent lily pond. As elsewhere in the villages,showers are communal, however this guesthouse had more showers than the others. Bicycles and dancing can be organised here as well. Poom village is regarded by some as... more



Guest House 15
Pom Coong Village, Mai Chau
Not that this place is in any way extraordinary, but it illustrates two things about homestays in Mai Chau. First, Pom Coong village in general supplies a more authentic, laid back experience. Second, with so many identical places to choose from, how do you make your pick? On our revisit, we... more
