  • Ruby from Slovenia – 18 June 2024 (9/10)

    We definitely had a wonderful stay at/with Mekong Star! First of all, it was easy to communicate with them even before the trip and we had questions about the booking and the property. During and even after our stay, they were very responsive and even anticipated our needs (ex. Vancouver suddenly had a temperature change and they messaged us if we needed a temp change in the house — so thoughtful!). Second, what were posted in the photos are the real deal! 100% true! Third, easy check-in also with just a door code and a secure gate going to the house also, we had our privacy definitely. Fourth, supplies are also complete for our 10-day stay! Although about a 30-min Uber ride from downtown, there was a nearby bus stop and also nearby grocery/Starbucks/restaurants so location is very accessible and convenient. Overall our stay was superb! Couldn’t ask for a better host! Mekong Star definitely made our stay in Canada convenient and memorable! Thank you Mekong Star! Will stay with you again if we'll find ourselves back in Vancouver! All the best to you and your property! 😍

    What could be improved: Can't think of anything at this moment! It was great!
