Helen, Minh, Ben and the whole team are great and go above and beyond to take care of their guests and volunteers. They're all very accommodating and helpful! Being out of the city is really peaceful and you'll have plenty of time for your personal work or pursuits too. My main responsibility was to help create social media content/promo work for the lodge, but the work varies depending on the season/number of guests staying. I've genuinely enjoyed my time here and would absolutely recommend it to other travelers. :) Thank you to all the great staff who took such lovely care of me!

Grace is very friendly and adaptable; she is proactive and flexible, which are good skills to work and survive anywhere in the world hahaa. Because she has good soft skills, it is easy for the host to discuss the scope of work. Yes, it is great that we have you on our journey. Thanks a lot my beautiful girl, wish you all the best.

My experience at Mương Đình Lodge made me really happy!
It was a week full of learning and spending time with amazing people.
The food is great, the room is comfortable, and everyone is super nice and welcoming.

As for the work, the shifts were pretty easygoing, but I feel like I could have helped more. If the tasks were assigned as soon as we arrived, I think we could have gotten more done (like the gardening, for example).

But other than that, the hours are well-balanced, and the days off are respected.
Thanks for the opportunity, Helen!

I stayed for 8 days at the Mương Đình Lodge and had the best time!! Everyone cared for me and it just felt like a big family with me being a part of it. Everything was clean and cozy and the food was AMAZING🤩 As work we hosted a small event, where some english students came to the lodge and we played some games, ate together and just motivated them to speak english with us. Other things were gardening and some random tasks like cleaning the freezers. I‘ve made many friends and i am so happy for the time. I would 100% recommend it!!Thanks so much to Helen and the rest of the team❤️

I want to thank everyone at Mương Dinh Lodge, especially Helen, for all the kindness, attention, and everything she taught us during our volunteer stay.

I’m really sorry for getting sick and not being able to help as much as I wanted. I hope we didn’t let you down.

The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature, with the river right at your doorstep. Local food, great people, just an amazing experience!

Thank you so much for everything!

I liked my stay at Mương Đình Lodge :) You can really immerse yourself in the local culture because the place is quite remote and the people are nice! My main work included doing reception work, posting on social media and helping with serving the guests. Still, you will have a lot of freedom so I would recommend trying to learn how to drive the scooter so you can e.g. drive to Can Tho in 20 min. The highlight of my stay was probably still the kindness of one of the men that worked here, his name was Tuấn and he really cared for me, I will never forget him! Thanks for the lovely experience!
