Chau Doc Homestay

Agreed with all other reviews that the homestay itself is very nice -- you are a part of their home with a nice family (three generations -- parents, two kids, daughter-in-law, baby grandson), good room/bathroom for being in the country (AC/fan, clean, no hot water but to be expected), lovely fields nearby, and breakfast (down the street at a little local pho stand) and dinner included. I want to give a bit more detail on how to actually get here because I was deeply confused from looking online prior to arrival. No matter how you arrive in Chau Doc (I came by Hang Chau boat from Phnom Penh -- very nice), you should get in touch with the Thanh Nham 2 hotel in advance to tell them of your arrival time and they can arrange transport to the homestay. It would be virtually impossible to get there yourself. In some guidebooks/online they are called Mekong Tours, but from my understanding this is an older company that no longer exists and has been subsumed by the Thanh Nham 2 hotel that doubles as a tour agency and knows the homestay. (I ended up finding my way to Thanh Nham once I arrived and they were nice enough to take me to the homestay but better to contact them in advance). The family doesn't speak English but there is a lady who works at Thanh Nham and lives down the street from the homestay who acts as your local "tour guide" and will introduce you to the family on arrival, take you around the local fields on the first day, and then arrange other excursions via motorbike taxi if you would like. I did my tours through Ms. San Tours, however, and would highly recommend that for a more personal experience. I also wasn't able to find exactly where it was online anywhere so I took a few screenshots of the location and am including the photos here. Hope you decide to stay here!
