We booked this homestay on booking.com nobody said to us you've to pay the entrance for the village (It's the property resposabily to inform costumers about it). When we tried to call the property for some explication the girl hung up the phone cause she couldn't speak English. Ok no problem, we paid the entrance. The Road to get there is absolutely terrible once we arrived we just tried to ask why nobody said to us that we had to pay to get inside the village.The owner justified him self saying that it was a government rule entry in to force about a week before (bunch of lies). At this point I was so disappointed but really kindly I asked to have at least a drink after a long trip.we were so shocked about the way he was treating us at least we wanted to see the room and it wasn't as clean as we expected.so we decided to leave!the response was the worse ever had in years of travelling. he kicked us out of the place in such a rude way threaten us saying nobody would host us around the area from above of his power! Just because We decided to leave. Of course we had to pay. Doesn't matter but we weren't able to review them on booking because he cancelled our reservation!! Fortunately we Found an amazing place to stay with warm and kind people. Maybe you thought we had forgotten about you guys but we didn't! I've traveled so many places around the world Always been respectful and kind and never ever I had an experience like that and never did such a bad review about anything. though is a cheap place it doesn't allow you to treat People as you like. This is not a real homestay.they just craving for money.…
We had a booking for two nights. We arrived late in the evening and very shortly it started to rain. We were given a damp room on the ground floor and realised that the rain was leaking through the roof and directly onto our beds and personal possessions. In the middle of the night the hosts relocated us to the room that had better protection from the rain and they said that for the remaining nights, we could stay in those rooms. The following morning, surprise, surprise we were told that we needed to back to our original, cold and damp room, as they had new bookings for the rooms that we been relocated to. The Familly room ( blue one) is very damp, even without pouring rain and with the rainy weather forecast, we said NO WAY we are not staying here. The hosts simply said that we had to leave, as they didn’t have any other option available. They took our money for one sleepless night and wanted to cancel our booking, pay cash in hand, so that we didn’t have a chance to review it online.…
So we stayed originally in the city centre of Sapa and wanted to get away from all the tourists and busyness of that and experience the real Sapa. Taxis are around 250K there and once your there it’s beautiful, so nice you can see all the local villages, you’re greeted very welcoming they give you loads of information and they do just want to help. Quan booked our taxi and travel back to Hanoi for us, invited us to join them for dinner. We extended our stay by one extra night but the weather wasn’t very good that day was quite foggy. They have the rice fields around, children playing, tribes, and the waterfall where you can go in/climb up. Quan speaks very good English (better than me) and is very knowledgeable. The rooms are spacious and clean, the toilets are tidy but there are bugs and little spiders, but what can you expect. I would definitely return back great value for money! And a true experience I wish we didn’t bother staying in the city. …
Couldn’t ask for a nicer more hospitable family. The beds are clean and warm. The showers are hot and the beer is cold! On top of all that the food is great. You can rent motorbikes and book treks with English speaking locals to explore this amazing area. A real must stay :)
Had such a great time here, the family were so nice and people we met were so friendly. Really close to rice/corn fields and a waterfall you can swim in. Food was pretty good but considering price and location at was the best!
The homestay is located about 12km from the main town of Sapa, which is great if you're looking to stay away from all the tourists. Expect to wake up early as the noise travels across the double rooms and shared sleeping area. The cleanliness of the bathrooms is OK. I didn't find that the staff were very friendly, as I've had very good experiences with our overly helpful receptionists in Hanoi.
The common sleep area is like a big hall that fits 10 mattresses, but we booked a private room, and were lucky to get the room with a view! Some rooms had no view so request if you want it! It's nice to bring your own snacks and sit by the deck, chilling and enjoying the view. There is a pool table and table tennis for leisure, and there is a small waterfall which locals take a shower in the evening. I didn't go in as it was too cold for me, but my boyfriend enjoyed a cool soak there! 5 mins up a steep steep road by the school. If u exit stunning homestay, take a left, small motorbike only path, and keep riding up up up 5 mins. Locals will go there to shower before sunset with their soap and laundry, so if you want to meet the locals, its a great way to practice some vietnamese :)…
If you loon for a homestay soft expirience, this is the place to go. The groubd floor consists of a restaurant/bar area with a pool table and table tennis table. On the first floor there are around 10-14 beds on the floor and approx. 6 double rooms. There is also a nice balcony with a super viee over the valley. It is situated a little bit outside of sapa town but you can rent tours, motorbikes and buses with the family of the homestay. They are really lovely and try to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The food is very good and everything is clean!
This is an amazing find!!! It is approx 12km from Sapa so is quieter than the busy touristy town. The view is absolutely stunning!!! The family are very friendly (with adorable little puppies) and the rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Would highly recommend this homestay to anyone.
I stayed at this homestay for two nights and wish I had booked more! The family were so generous and kind, always making sure I had everything I needed. There were just a few guests there when I stayed and this added to the charm. Accommodation is basic in a shared room with individual mosquito nets. The room was spotless and cleaned each day. The food was delicious and great value. The property is a short walk from the river and a small waterfall - great for a cool off after a long trek in the hills. This little village is full of charm and warmth- do not miss out on staying here!
