O Châu Homestay Lào Cai

Lam and her family were excellent hosts - quality people. The location was stunning and watching the activity in the valley around us from the pool and the pool area was a special time on our holiday in Vietnam. The chalet had all we needed and the super view. There are some good trails that can be easily accessed on foot from the home stay - the bamboo forest across the valley being one of them.

It exceeded our expectations for a home stay. We would have appreciated a small shop on the premises with some essentials and snacks. But there were small shops and a couple of good restaurants within 10 mins walk.

The family is simple and attentive; they were very attentive to our 9-month-old baby. But that's all. Upon arriving at the location, even before 2 PM, the family welcomed us and put us in a makeshift room, as well as offering us breakfast.

The host doesn't provide house rules, such as schedules or options. Things just happen as they please. Prices aren't cheap; you pay $8.00 for a simple lunch or dinner. Upon arrival, there was confusion locating my reservation, meaning they weren't expecting our arrival. There was no toilet paper in the room. The staff provided the necessary support. I don't recommend the breakfast; it's very basic. It's better to bring your own food. All the services I checked the prices for were extremely expensive. For example: taxi service, motorcycle rental.

Stayed in the deluxe room. The cabin style room is wonderfully designed. It'a an amazing room that charmingly filled with traditional furnishing. The room was furnished with two chairs, a couch, a table, a huge bed and an open wardrobe, all in classic wood. The room was basically very comfortable. Bed was really comfortable, with a medium firm mattress and the duvet was just the right level of comfort for the weather. Plenty of electrical sockets all around the room. The bathroom is a combined toilet and shower, with a washbasin. Liquid soap, shampoo, toothbrush, shaving kit and other toiletries were supplied. Very large windows that provide superb views of the hills and rice terraces below. The views are simply stunning. The balcony provided even better views of the surrounding area. The grounds of the resort are extensive and scenic to walk around Location is excellent with lots of cafes and eateries close by.

Minor point is that the reception is rarely staff. It wasn't a problem as I was out hiking most of the time.

Bella struttura, molto curata e pulita, gestita da una famiglia molto gentile

It has a pool and a view of the valley. The vibe is a bit upscale but maintains the local hospitality where they will bring you into the family kitchen for dinner if you choose! Very lovely family.

The view from the rooms and pool area is breathtaking. Close to some nice cafes and about half an hour walk to another nearby town which has additional options. The owners invited us to dinner and even took us to a local festival during tet holidays which was incredible.

The walls are very, very thin and our neighbours (a big group who arrived together) seemed to want to turn it into a festival campsite, playing loud music at all hours of the morning which we weren’t expecting in a quiet hilltop location.

INCREDIBLE MY BEST STAY IN VIETNAM! The family is super atentive and welcoming they helped me with everything! The views and instalations extraordinary.

The place is truly beautiful and very well maintained. Everything is clean and tidy, which makes the stay very pleasant. The bed is especially comfortable, perfect for a good night’s rest. In addition, the staff is super kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. A wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend!
