Staying in Vietnam and Cambodia homestays offers more than accommodation—it’s a gateway to genuine local life. From the misty highlands of Sapa in Vietnam to the floating villages of Tonle Sap in Cambodia, homestays connect you with families who open their homes, share meals, and reveal traditions passed down through generations. Whether waking to rooster calls in the Mekong Delta or learning Khmer weaving in Battambang, these experiences create lasting memories while supporting rural communities.
Legend Travel Group curates Vietnam Tours and Cambodia Tours that blend homestay immersion with cultural depth. With our flexible booking policy—only 10% deposit required until 30 days before departure—you can plan your Vietnam Travel or Cambodia Travel with complete peace of mind.
Homestays are available year-round in rural and riverside areas. No visa is needed for stays within exemption periods (up to 45 days in Vietnam, 30 days in Cambodia for most nationalities). Basic facilities include shared bathrooms, mosquito nets, and fans or air conditioning. Meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) cost $3–$8 per person. Book through Legend Travel Group for verified, English-speaking hosts and seamless transfers.

Cultural respect ensures a warm welcome in Vietnam and Cambodia homestays:
Greetings: Use “xin chào” (Vietnam) or “soksabai” (Cambodia) with a smile and slight bow. Address hosts as “aunt”/“uncle” (bác/cô/chú in Vietnam; pu/ming in Cambodia).
Dress: Cover shoulders and knees, especially in rural areas. Remove shoes before entering homes.
Behaviour: Ask permission before photographing family members or interiors. Help with light chores (e.g., washing dishes) to show gratitude.
Meals: Eat with your right hand or use provided utensils. Try everything offered—it’s a sign of respect.
Gifts: Bring small tokens like fruit, sweets, or school supplies for children (avoid cash unless offered as thanks).
Tip: Say “cảm ơn” (Vietnam) or “arkun” (Cambodia) often. Participate in evening family chats to build bonds. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen homestay guests become family through simple respect.”
General Tips:
Language: Learn basic phrases via Legend Travel Group’s pre-trip guide. Hosts often speak limited English but communicate with warmth.
Respect: Avoid pointing feet at people or Buddha images. Don’t touch heads (sacred in both cultures).
Eco-Tip: Use reusable bottles—hosts provide boiled or filtered water. Decline plastic bags at local markets.
