We love everything!! Activity for painting cloths, trekking amazing and energizing, dinner and breakfast incredibly home made and authentic. The family, specially Sue, what a woman!! She organizes everything and tailor your stay to whatever you search for. At the same time they treat you with humble and like a family. I really love my stay in here, they made me feel i wanted to stay foe months in there :) The place help to meet other people travelling and you have the option of sharing or staying in your own place . Fantastic !!

Comfortable Homestay, many people stay here as part of an overnight hiking tour so it was great to meet new people everyday. There’s also lots to do in the area aside from walking, there’s a town centre area nearby and great to be out of Sapa town. I did a workshop with the family for batik and embroidery, which was really interesting. Also was able to buy handmade fabrics from the family, and other handicrafts! The food was also great.

Some of the cocks are noisy in the morning in the area/at night however I slept with earplugs and was fine. It can also get cold depending on the time of year so bring lots of warm clothes! However none of these are the properties fault, just good to consider!

This is an excellent, authentic experience of the traditional way of life of Hmong people, delivered by a friendly, helpful, enthusiastic and flexible family from their home stay in the hills near Ta Van. The bungalows are comfortable and clean but not heated so warm clothes are required in the winter months. Traditional, freshly prepared meals are shared with the family and other guests in the living area. Sue is very helpful organising bespoke trekking and other day trips using her various family members who speak very good English. Overall, highly recommended

The weather is beyond the control of the property but be prepared to bring warm clothing during winter months. There is an open fire that is pleasant to sit around but the bungalows are not heated. However, warm bedding is provided. The water was not very warm in the shower.

Our hostesses were fantastic, the food they served delicious, especially the rice from their field was the best I ever ate! We did the Indigo batik workshop the next day, which was quite pricy, but very entertaining and interesting to know how to do, under the guidance of hostess Sue. What I loved the most was the view from the terrace of the little bungalow we were in, with the buffalos grazing in the rice terraces and the mountains across the valley, just perfect relaxation after the busy Hanoi stay!

Could have been a bit cleaner under the beds, we had to move one to get something that fell off and it was quite a sight. Other than that, everything was great and we had our own bathroom.
