The rules that catch people out
6 – 9:30 am
Breakfast is rate by rate
Some rates on the booking page include breakfast and some do not; a separate breakfast has been listed at about VND 150,000 a person. The cheaper line is often room only, so compare both before you choose.
Check the words “breakfast included” on the rate line. Remember children’s breakfast may be charged separately.

Ages decide the price
Children and extra beds
Sources disagree on children’s charges: one says up to 5 free when sharing a bed, another says over 5 pay as adults. The Family Deluxe sleeps four without an extra bed; Superior rooms take none.
Do enter every child’s age when you search. Ask the hotel about an extra bed before you pay.

Weekends & holidays
Wedding and event nights
The restaurant seats banquets of up to 500, and riverside parties are common at weekends and around Tet. Reviews mention music carrying across the grounds on those nights.
Ask whether an event is booked for your dates. Request a room away from the banquet side.

Before you arrive at Ben Tre Riverside
01
Enter children’s ages
Add each child’s age in the search; the price shown then includes the right charges for your family.
02
Use the booking note
Write requests — high floor, river side, quiet room, extra bed — in the special-requests box. They are requests, not guarantees.
03
Carry your passport
Reception must register foreign guests with the police within 12 hours, so bring the original passport, not a photo.
Honest note
Published rules differ between sources on children’s ages, extra-bed prices and breakfast. Where they do, we say so — confirm the detail that matters to you with the hotel before you pay.
More house-rule questions
Is smoking allowed at Ben Tre Riverside?
Only in designated areas. Listings show designated smoking areas rather than smoking rooms, so plan to smoke outside. If you need a balcony for it, ask the hotel when you book whether that is allowed for your room type.
Can a foreign guest and a Vietnamese guest share a room at Ben Tre Riverside?
Usually yes, with documents. One older booking-site listing says the hotel asks a mixed Vietnamese and foreign couple for a marriage certificate; the hotel’s own site does not mention it. Rules on this vary, so ask the hotel before you book and bring passports and ID cards.
Is there a holiday surcharge at Ben Tre Riverside?
Expect higher rates around Tet and public holidays. An older price list mentioned a holiday surcharge per room, and some holiday rates can include extra conditions. The booking page shows the full price for your dates, so check what is included before you confirm.
How do I change or cancel a booking at Ben Tre Riverside?
Through the platform you booked on, under the terms of your rate. This site does not take bookings or payments and cannot change them. Read the cancellation line next to the price before you book, and contact the platform or the hotel for any changes.
Can I pay in US dollars at Ben Tre Riverside?
Plan to pay in Vietnamese dong or by card. The hotel accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB and cash in dong; whether it takes dollars is not published, so ask before relying on them. ATMs are in the centre, about 4 km away.
Does Ben Tre Riverside have laundry and late check-out?
Laundry is listed among the hotel’s services. Late check-out after 12 noon depends on how full the hotel is and may be charged; ask at reception the evening before, or note it in your booking request.
Know the rules, enjoy the river
No surprises at check-in: breakfast, cancellation and children’s charges all show on the rate you pick.
