Viet Duc Guest House

First, the owner is quite friendly, good english speaking and also negotiable. Second thing, the facility is good, you have the hair dryer, the warmer and also the wadrobe. The location is strategic for muslim as it is near to Halal restaurant.Walking distance to Sapa Sunplaza.

+ This was definitely one of the nicer options we saw in Sa Pa for such a low price + The location is quite good, as it's not right in the middle of town centre (thus a little quieter), but still close to things and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance + The host is keen to help you with any questions and she can book various extra services (tours etc.) for you; we didn't make use of that as we like to save money and explore options ourselves, but I'm sure other travellers will be very happy to pay for the convenience and it's nice to see that it is being offered + In winter, the guesthouse is VERY cold, but the beds can be nice and warm if you sleep in your hoodie and warm them up before bedtime with the electric blankets provided + There is a homely look and atmosphere in and around the guesthouse that reminded me of nostalgic trips to the Tatra mountains +/- Most of the areas seemed quite clean, but the bathroom mirror and sink could have been cleaned much better +/- The location and how it's incorrectly displayed on Google Maps makes it a little difficult to find the guesthouse, but fortunately the host sends you the exact coordinates when you book your stay

- Our room (located on the first floor just above reception) had a leaky sink, which had flooded half of the bathroom floor by the time we got back to the guesthouse for the night - The water pressure on the bidet gun was violently strong, making it almost unusable - Outside of the heated bed, the rooms are totally freezing if you go in the winter - The host, though at first seemingly cordial and polite, pressures guests a bit too much in order to receive a perfect rating and thus skews the reviews on here somewhat. Not long after we left, I received the following message from the host: "Thank you once again for choosing Viet Duc motel, are you satisfied with your stay at my house, if you are satisfied, please encourage me to rate 10 points on your booking, is there anything that doesn't make you happy? Please give me feedback directly, I will fix it, but don't rate it on your booking. Wishing you both a safe and happy trip. look forward to serving you again." You be the judge and choose if you think this is OK, but I found this a little too much and a bit dishonest. In writing reviews, guests shouldn't be told to not leave negative comments about things they didn't like nor should they ever be pressured to give perfect ratings. We saw that the host tends to respond to guest reviews, so we would also like to leave a message here for her: Thank you for having us, overall we're fairly satisfied with the guesthouse and think a good 7/10 rating is appropriate. We informed you of what we could remember needed improvement when leaving just like you asked. The leaky sink didn't bother us that much since we stayed such a short time and we trust it will be fixed for future guests. But we're very disappointed with that message and how much you push for perfect ratings by also telling your guests to leave out any negative opinions in their reviews.

Very friendly and helpfull hostess. Clean rooms, good laundry service, great breakfast!
