Sapa Eco Hugo

The location was awesome, you were in a treat for tranquility, especially the owner, she was really really good, its hard to find such good people and she helped a lot in everything we needed. Again thanks a lot for making our stay a memorable one.

We loved our stay here, the staff was very kind and very helpful. Helped us with our bags and booked the taxis. We wish to stay here again.

This really depends on your preference but for me I loved how far away from Sapa Central it was (30-40min drive). This home stay is located within the village, up a winding hill but still amongst all the rice paddies. You can see the buffalos and chickens and ducks wondering nearby and there is a pigsty in one of the neighbouring houses where you can go stare at the pigs. Unlike some other home stays, this place is located right alongside one of the "main roads" so that it is easy for a taxi or van to come right up to the home stay which is a bonus if you are carrying a lot of luggage and don't want to have to drag the luggage up a small dirt track. The rooms are super comfy with great big windows and a bench outside which you can sit comfortably with a cup of tea or a book and just watch. I have literally spend hours on the window seat watching the world go by. It was so relaxing. The beds are soft and comfortable. The area in front of the huts is fake grass so its free from mud and a great place for kids to run around and play. The place is marvelously clean. Cleaner than some city hotels. Yes there are insects flying around (you are in the country after all), but every morning uncle mops all the entryway to all the houses. The toilets are basic but very serviceable with consistent hot water (very important in winter) and really clean flushable toilets. Even their dog is cleaner than my dog at home. Speaking of dog, they have a really adorable Shih Tzu size little pupper named Bung who just loves belly rubs and sitting beside you begging while you eat. They also have this beautiful long haired grey cat named "Miu" who appreciates a chin rub here and there. She is more flitting in her affections but still comes when you call. My toddler loved the both of them and would follow them around. Service is wonderful. Quy helps arrange for almost anything we need including transport. she advices us on places to go and visit too.

So if you were looking for absolute peace, the fact that it is near their "main road" up the hill means you have a lot of motorbikes going up the hill and if you leave the window opened there is a constant sound of vehicles until dinner time. But I must say the sound is nowhere near as noisy as Hanoi or the cities. Just an occasional motorbike put putting up the hill. Also do remember this place is no luxury hotel. So don't expect hardwood floors/walls or marble tiling. Their laundry service is highly dependent on weather so if it rains, your clothes may not dry in time. And the wifi can be quite weak when you are inside the rooms. Finally, do remember they cannot take credit cards. Only Cash or bank transfer (which can be a headache if your bank is slow).

Beautiful and quiet location. Host Quy was very welcome and helpful. The room was simple but spacious. The patio area was really nice to have our meals and relax.

Toilet can be improved.

Quy, the host, is very friendly and helpful. The place is managed by her parents and her. She helped to book our transport to various places of interest. Her place is about 20 minutes to Sapa Town. Her family cooked meals for us upon our request. Breakfast is complementary. I love the Pho and pancakes. Quy is able to book a guide for the trekking trip also. She speaks good English, which is a great relief for us. We also had our laundry done within a day as she had a dryer at her place. Her charges are very reasonable. My children love to interact with her house dog and cat. The place is very peaceful and tranquil. We were greeted by the sights of nature when we woke up. Farm animals like ducks, chicken, and buffaloes were sighted everywhere. It is a very refreshing holiday for us.

The house is made up of bamboo. So we have to walk very lightly when going up the stairs or in our rooms. So that we will not disturb the family who stayed downstairs. But it is not an issue.

provide the warmly service,

Great quiet location outside the main village, very friendly and helpful hosts. A great place to relax for a few days, and a good base to walk around the valley. The room was very big, spacious and clean, a comfy bed with a mosquito net, and hot water was never a problem.

When eating breakfast outside, local sellers would come up to me while eating. More of a problem with the whole area than this homestay, but it's still an issue.
