Mai Chau Ecolodge

Just spent 2 nights in a Deluxe Twin Room and I wish I could have stayed longer. The setting look out over the rice fields and the valley is so relaxing and dream like. All of the staff that I interacted with were lovely. The free bikes were in good condition and I enjoyed taking a morning cycle around the area. The breakfast was good, and for lunch and dinner I enjoyed trying meals at the local homesteads which are a short stroll away. Evening dance is a lovely inclusion. I would absolutely recommend staying here. They are doing some renovations during the day right now but they take a break in the middle of the day and the room that I stayed in was far enough away that I barel noticed it. Do bring ear plugs just in case as any noise does carry across the valley so if there's a late party in town you will hear it but earplugs solve this and I believe there's a noise curfew so once that hits the night sounds of nature is lovely. The shuttle to and from Hanoi is also super handy. It's a long drive but there is a brief comfort stop.
