Ma Pi Leng EcoLodge

The location is literally to die for. Such a beautiful view!

First of all, know that there is a steep nature step leading up to the lodge. This is fine, as the view compensated. However, when ordering food choose one main dish (e.g. chicken) and then order rice/ vegetables separately! We asked the front desk when we order chicken whether is was a whole chicken or whether it was a meal, she said a meal from which we assumed including rice/ vegetables. Unfortunately, it was just chicken and we were asked on the spot whether we wanted rice and they charged us extra… leaving us with a boney chicken for dinner and rice for a mere 650k VND. When we went to bed, we notice all small (bed) bugs in the lodge, which was a swarm. I think the light attracted them, and they were small enough to get through the insect screens.Then, the night hd some thunder but there was no electricity following that. Thus, leaving us without a working fan/ running water. They knew this in the morning but couldn’t fix it. Not their fault, but unfortunate. During our inclusive breakfast we wanted a something to drink, but they told us we would have to pay extra… All in all, great location, just be cautious when walking the steps and ordering food. I thought it was not worth the price after all of this.

A must visit when you’re doing the Ha Giang Loop. Amazing views all around and great staff and restaurant, I’ll be back one day
