Mai Chau is located 135 km south-west of Hanoi in the Northern province of Hoa Binh which is bordered by Son La in the West, Phu Tho and Ha Tay in the North, Ha Nam and Ninh Binh in the East, and Thanh Hoa in the South.
Mai Chau is a popular place for both foreign tourist and Vietnamese travelers. This peaceful village is located just about three hour drive from Hanoi. The Mai Chau town has not much of interest except the local market is open in the morning.
Most people come to Mai Chau for visiting the village of Lac and Poom Coong where they can be lodged in a stilt house. The accommodation in these villages is quite simple. The guests share the house with family with private bedding setup. Soft mattresses and hot water are available as well. The toilets are located outside the house.
Many Vietnamese tourists come to Mai Chau at weekends. They arrive in the Saturday afternoon and spend one night in the village and return back to town Sunday afternoon. But foreign tourist come to Mai Chau not for spending a night in the silt house. But they used to have some day trek or bicycle tours. The departure is Mai Chau.
Luxury accommodation is also available in Mai Chau. This is the Mai Chau lodge. The Mai Chau lodge offers comfortable rooms with hot water, swimming pool and other comfortable facilities.
People coming to Mai Chau will not have much choice in terms of accommodation. They either stay in the village in a stilt house or in the luxury Mai Chau lodge. There is some hostels in Mai Chau town. But these guesthouses are very simple and are rarely used by tour operators.
