Nothing

An amazing stay with the kindest family. The Homestay is tucked away in the Sapa hills (which makes getting there an adventure in itself!) with beautiful views all around and extremely peaceful. We spent our two days here spending time with Pe and his family, ate so much delicious food with them and learnt lots about life in Sapa. We really felt like part of the family and they went above and beyond for my friend’s birthday which was a really special evening. One of my highlights of a month in Vietnam!

The cabin I stayed in was the best in Vietnam, with the most amazing views from my beautiful balcony, with orchids and roses all around. There were cheaper options too stay in which are lovely and simple, but I treated myself to their newly built chalet aha stayed 4 nights. Pe and Tay and their families are the kindest people and welcomed me like we were family. The food was amazing, with rice from their fields, honey from their bees and fresh local produce. I met many other lovely people here too. The family are available and very experienced at guiding in the mountains and leading motorbike tours around all the routes, or they were on hand to offer advice when I wanted to explore on my own. I will definitely be going back next year!

There was nothing I didn't like, but some people might find their home very rustic. There are lovely animals, friendly and smart kids (who I loved hanging out with!), and eating and the chill areas are with the family in their home so you really get to experience how local people live (as much as tourists can!).

Tay and his family has been so kind and helpful all our stay. Even in rainy morning, they made to bring us breakfast in the room, we really appreciate that. Being the only guests for the days we stayed, he spontaneously updates our room with the big one with nice view in private toilet. We stayed 3 days, and we had the chance to charge our batteries and sleep a lot, because this place is a bit remote and very very quite all day long. The first evening we had dinner with the family with an extra, and we learned a bit more about Hmong life. Surrounded by nature, local people and farm animals around, it was a lovely experience.

Just an advice if you are going by yourself by motorcycle, avoid to go till the homestay if you are not a confident driver, roads are extremely steep and can be dangerous, mostly during rainy and foggy days, as we had. It's also quite muggy in some parts. In cold days, can be a challenge the shower which is outside and it needs some times to be hot, and it doesn't last too long.

Tay and Mi are a truly welcoming family with a heartfelt sense of service. We enjoyed our stay very much thanks to the moments shared with the family, the tasty dinners, the impressive view from their location, and the functional and confortable bungalow. We highly recommand this place if you want some genuine expérience. Thank you again Tay and Mi !

I would like to take the time to write a review for the homestay of Pe and his family. It was really fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and friendliness of his family. The cute children, his sweet wife, his smiling mother and Pe's genuine interest in others. You can choose to have dinner together with his family and afterwards have a cup of tea by the campfire in his house. I recommend this! It is cozy, nice and snug. I also did the trekking together with Pe and his dog. It made it extra fun that his dog also came along and greeted me every morning with a pat on his head. Super beautiful view and despite the mud and the falls, it was really fun and I had a lot of laughs with Pe. It was a great adventure with the three of us. Really recommended to choose this homestay!
