Definitely the highlight of our stay in Hoi An. Door to door service, exceptional customer service. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. And the food was amazing! We were able to ale 4 different dishes each and provided with the recipes via email so we can recreate at home. Would absolutely recommend anyone visiting Hoi A take advantage of this great experience.

My 2 teenage kids and myself have a great cooking experience. Best of all, we are able to eat the fruits of our labour- the tasty dishes whipped out under the close guidance and help from the chefs. While my younger kid and hubby rest and relax in the serenity of the farm and often poke around to check on our cooking! It was a truly enjoyable family bonding session!

Not sure about what to do on a rainy day in Hoi An, we decided to book this cooking class. The experience was absolutely worth it, the trip to the market was great and while there Hung made us taste several fruits and vegetables typical of Vietnam, while also providing interesting insights about food culture. We were able to choose 4 dishes each (which I thought was a better option than a fixed menu) and they were all amazing after we cooked them under supportive and extensive guidance. In the end, they also shared the recipes. Overall, amazing experience.

I agree with what everybody said before. 5 stars is not enough for this experience and like the Dutch couple before me, I would give it 10 if I could. Hung and is family are simply the best and I had a total ball yesterday. There was a last minute cancellation, so I was a very, very lucky girl having a private experience. The basket boat trip was very relaxing and shopping for ingredients at the local market was fantastic. Hung pointed out to me which stall sells the best Cao Lau and I went back today to have some for breakfast. He and his family are so welcoming and the cooking knowledge of the ladies as well as their patience and humour was amazing. In short, I had an absolute ball and wish I had some more time in Hoi An to go back and learn to cook the rest of the dishes on the menu. This is deffo a highlight not to be missed ❤️

5 stars are not enough! 10 STARS! My boyfriend and I have been warmly welcomed by the team at Mai Home Hoi An! We received a delicious welcome drink! We also received a recipe in video via Whatsapp. Super sweet! We were given clear instructions to make the perfect dish. And it was delicious! Important: We didn't have to rush and enjoy our appetizer. Then we continued cooking and were allowed to enjoy our main course. Our instruction was also funny, super sweet and a warm person. The tour in the garden we really liked because we got to know new types of basil that we definitely want in our garden! We also received a nice attention during our departure. What it is, you will discover for yourself on your visit. Last but not least! It was in a nice environment with lots of greenery around you. Good to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown. And the foot massage was super nice to end with. Thanks team Mai Home!!! This is not a pushed review. We recommend it to everyone!

I can't recommend it enough! A relaxing bike route through the rice paddies, followed by a very interesting tour of the market. Then, visit the orchards and start cooking classes. The workshop was great and the food delicious! Thank you very much.

It was a great experience! The coconut boat trip was early at the morning, so very quiet! The trip to the market was very interesting, our guide gave a lot of information, which was really nice! The cooking class also was very interesting and so delicious! The women who helped us were super friendly and we had a great time. Thank you so much!

This was a really fun day! The bamboo basket was very nice and because we were on the water early, it was also super quiet and we could also see that the locals themselves really use these boats to catch crabs. The cooking class was very well organized. The cook spoke good English and explained to us very well what needed to be done and how things worked. Then ate blissfully from everything we had made. We were packed!
