Guest Reviews
- Geert (9/5): - Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame staff.en zeer mooi gelegen in.een prachtige vallei
- Sébastien (10/5): Homestay Bluffant 😮😮😮 - Les logements ont tous des points de vue magnifique. Il y a de l'eau chaude, tous les matelas sont chauffants et tous les lits ont des moustiquaires. Le personnel est adorable et très serviable. Ça se voit qu'ils aiment les personnes qu'ils acceuillent. Et la Nourriture... Parlons-en... Paroles de Français, tous les plats qui nous ont été servis étaient tous absolument parfait ! Le meilleur restaurant Vietnamien que nous avons fait en deux mois en parcourant tout le Vietnam ! Les plats changent en plus tous les jours. Et le Petit déjeuner aussi nous met absolument de bonne humeur avant de commencer la journée. Que du positif, pour vous dire, si je devais repasser au Vietnam, je me sentirais obligé de repasser dans ce magnifique Homestay
- Bernard (10/5): - Scenérie, obetaví hostitelia pripravení vždy pomôcť, chutné jedlo ????
- Costanza (10/5): A great stay! - Amazing place and amazing hosts! The food was great, as well as the views and the services offered by the owners. Would definitely come back
- Valentýna (10/5): - Toto ubytování opravdu doporučuji, chatičky jsou na samotě uprostřed hor. Domácí jsou velmi milí a ochotní. Velmi doporučuji jejich večeři a výlet s řidiči na motorkách, i jako začátečníci se nemusíte bát a uvidíte části, kam byste se sami nedostali.
- Picco (10/5): - Grande accoglienza dei padroni di casa, sempre disponibili e pronti a trovarti soluzioni! Ti fanno sentire a casa! Ottima la cena e la colazione! Struttura ottima se cerchi qualcosa di tradizionale con un buon confort, posizionata in ottima punto perché vicina alla strada principale e allo stesso tempo anche alle risaie e punti panoramici (pero raggiungibili solo con la moto, meglio col driver perché i sentieri sono sterrati e tortuosi). Come servizi Ho fatto il tour in moto, davvero eccezionale, ti portano in posti con viste mozzafiato.
- sergey (10/5): - Персонал. Расположение.
- Piers Herrmann (10/5): Fantastic place to stay and trek with fabulous food - The location is superb, isolated and quiet on its own little hill. Our hosts were great and helped with everything from a trekking guide to a taxi onwards to Sapa. And the food was better that we had hoped after reading all the rave reviews. 8 different dishes each evening, all home cooked and all superb. Clean plates every evening. We had bungalow 8 which was spacious and had a good view from our terrace. The mattress is pretty hard! We got used to it. It would be great to have some soft chairs somewhere to crash out in. They have a great terrace with stone benches and tables which have a great view, but I would have appreciated something softer too. It was no problem for us but there is a steep 200m walk from the car park to the homestay so be ready for this.
- Kristina (10/5): - Diese Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb von der sehr touristischen Stadt Sa Pa. Sie liegt etwas oberhalb, so dass man einen schönen Blick auf das Tal hat. Am Abend isst man gemeinsam mit Menschen aus aller Welt, was ich als sehr unterhaltsam und bereichernd empfand. Das Abendessen wird selbst gekocht und ist sehr lecker und authentisch. Das Gastgeberpaar steht bei Fragen zur Verfügung und war immer sehr freundlich. Von dort aus kann man auch schöne Wanderungen unternehmen um die Natur zu erleben.
- Thiebald (10/5): Completement incroyable - J’ai tout aimé ici ! L’accueil et la gentillesse des hôtes, le bungalow perché sur la colline, la nourriture, les discussions, la découverte de la culture Muong.
- Dana (10/5): -
- Lukáš (10/5): - Our stay was excelent. De and Ly were very kind, helpful. They helped us organise private car trip from Hanoi and back. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were great and very tasty. Also trips were great. I would recommend 2-3 nights. Whole region on Mu Chang Chai is amazing and definitely worth the visit. You really get Hmong experience. 😊 You live with locals, as locals. For us it was not the problem, but some may miss the western standard
- monique (8/5): -
- Agnieszka (10/5): -
- SEOUNGHYUN (10/5): 헬로 홈스테이 강추 - 친절, 숙소 풍광, 조석식, 무캉차이 투어 모든 것에 사장님의 친절한 대접에 강력 추천
- Philippe (2/5): - Arrivée tard le soir à Mu Cang chai, j’appelle personne répond . J’envoie un mail : rien . J’ai donc dû me rabattre sur un autre hotel, sans pouvoir me faire rembourser
- Jason (10/5): - Wonderful staff, idyllic environment. The complimentary breakfast is certainly nothing special, but it’s nice that it’s available. I quite enjoyed my dinner, and the setting is spectacular.
- Marta (10/5): Eccezionale!! - La struttura si trova a circa 20km dal centro abitato di mu cang chai, in una località totalmente immersa nel verde delle risaie (per questo motivo è meglio organizzarsi con loro per concordare la fermata del bus con cui si arriva, in modo che loro vengano a prendevi con le loro motorbike). La nostra camera aveva una vista bellissima sulle risaie e anche abbastanza defilata dalla zona comune e quindi silenziosa (camera 4). I proprietari Ly e De sono super disponibili, gentili e sempre sorridenti. All'arrivo iniziano ad organizzare la permanenza pianificando le varie escursioni. Ci hanno dato la possibilità di fare la doccia e riposare in casa loro nonostante avessimo già fatto il check out e anche riaccompagnati alla fermata del bus la sera. Possibile mangiare anche per pranzo e cena con tutti loro e le loro tradizioni. Cibo buonissimo e super abbondante!! Veramente consigliatissimo!! Le zone comuni (soprattutto i bagni) hanno bisogno di una pulizia più accurata
- Will (10/5): -
- Alejandro (10/5): De lo mejor de Vietnam - Entorno espectacular y alojamiento muy bonito. El bungalow es simple, tiene lo básico para descansar, pero el personal y el entorno hacen de este alojamiento un sitio especial. La familia que lo regenta es muy servicial y están dispuestos a ayudar en todo, nos ayudaron en todo momento. La comida es casera y muy buena. Recomiendo cenar con la familia Todo fue perfecto
- Kenny (10/5): - Most amazing were our host and hostess. Most helpful, able to communicate well in English, and went out of their way to help us.
- Bruno (9/5): Beautiful experience! - Ly Is a perfect host who helped us for every request! The activities have been very interesting, we did the motorbike tour and the trekking through the rice fields. The Homestay Is located in a beautiful landscape almost 2 km from the main road where the bus stops but they can easily pick you up whit the motorbikes. .
- Burlaud (10/5): Highly recommended place. Don’t hesitate - Wonderful stay: very nice owners with very high hospitality principles, very tasty food, great view from bungalow, homestay easy to access and with private parking Nothing
- Guest (9/5): Kỳ nghỉ đáng nhớ và rất thú vị - Khu nghỉ có view đẹp, nhân viên phục vụ nhiệt tình cẩn thận, chu đáo, đồ ăn và rượu rất ngon. Chủ homestay rất mếm khách.
- Maria (9/5): Convive con una familia Hmong - La familia que lo lleva es estupenda, y las vistas son muy especiales. Las camas son extremadamente duras y el baño requiere algunos arreglos. Aunque es normal, porque son cabañas de madera a las que se les nota los años.
- Matteo (9/5): -
- Guest (10/5): Perfect. - We spent 3 exceptional days at Hello Mu Cang Chai Homestay. Everyone was super welcoming and kind. Our room was very nice, clean and with a great view. The meals were typical and delicious, reflecting the generosity of Ly and her husband (their happy water was delicious!). Ly helped us organize our trips and activities. The full day trekking in the rice fields of La Pan Tan was breathtaking, with a special mention to our two super guides. The batik activity was also great fun. In short, if you were hesitating to go to Hello Mu Cang Chai, go for it! :) Our stay was too short.
- Manon (10/5): Choose this homestay, you won't regret it! - Amazing homestay with an outstanding view on the ricefields everywhere. The family is very kind, smiling and welcoming. They are happy to share about their Hmong life. We really appreciate the full day trekking tour, we recommend it. All the breakfasts and dinners were in a huge portion and very tasty! Thank you again to this adorable family. Nothing
- AURORA (10/5): Paraíso entre arrozales - La amabilidad de la dueña y su familia, las vistas simplemente espectaculares desde la cabaña, con una terraza desde donde podíamos ver los arrozales. La comida, casera muy rica. Es una experiencia única, aislado de todo pero cerca del pueblo. Por poner una pega, la rampa de acceso es algo incómoda pero hay que entender que el Homestay está en lo alto de una colina. Luego la estancia compensa todo. Sigue siendo totalmente recomendable
- Silke (10/5): Exceptional - This homestay was amazing! Really friendly family. We did the moterbike tour and it was exceptional. Thank you a lot!
- Fabrizio (10/5): By far, the best part of our 2-weeks trip in Vietnam. - This homestay has stunning views of the rice fields and is set in a tranquil, natural environment. It's run by a warm and welcoming local family (and there is also a wonderful, friendly dog), which made our stay especially comfortable and inviting. Our host Ly, her husband De, and the whole family, were friendly and attentive—she arranged a memorable rice planting activity, helped us find a transfer back to Hanoi, and was always ready to assist with anything we needed. The meals were outstanding: hearty, home-cooked, and full of flavor. Keep in mind, it’s a rural homestay: everything is as clean and comfortable as it can be considering the immersion in nature, but don’t expect luxury, and be prepared for a few bugs here and there. A fantastic choice for anyone wanting an authentic experience of Hmong culture and the surrounding landscape. By far, the best part of our 2-weeks trip in Vietnam.
- Anonymous (10/5): Marvellous Hello Mu Cang Chai homestay - Breakfast and dinner were superb. The bungalows were cosy and the beds were comfortable. Ze and Ly were such good hosts and their children were adorable. We learnt a lot about the Hmong culture during our stay. Nothing. The stay was amazing.
- Christophe (10/5): Un accueil formidable - Un séjour fantastique grâce à Ly et son époux qui sont adorables et proposent des bungalows tout confort. En prime un excellent et copieux petit déjeuner et un délicieux repas le soir. Possibilités de randonnée dans les environs avec ou sans guide.
- Alex (9/5): Gorgeous hosts in a beautiful part of Vietnam - Very kind and generous hosts, value for money is amazing. As others have noted as expected the bed was rather firm but as suggested by our hosts we put the doona under us and it was fine. All part of the experience.
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - We had a large, home cooked breakfast each morning with variations each day. We opted to eat dinner there as well and not only were the portions large and delicious, the hosts interacted with us and introduced us to their ‘happy water’. We had a huge detached bungalow with an ensuite that overlooked the rice terraces. We enjoyed a beer on the verandah each afternoon. I did a half day trek with a guide, Jacob, who spoke excellent English and explained a lot about the local farming and cultural traditions.
- Anke (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts look after you the minute you arrive. They are the nicest people on earth. They speak English, so communication was easy. The dinners were delicious and the Gastfreundschaft was outstanding. The room was spacious with great views of the rice terraces. We experienced a different culture within Vietnam. It's not that we didn't like it but might just mention you have to walk up a path from the car park. They take your luggage up with a motorbike. It might be a struggle for older people.
- Kelly (10/5): A beautiful setting with amazing hosts! - Amazing….a beautiful setting and the loveliest family—Ze and Ly and terrific hosts, extremely friendly and kind. The breakfasts and dinners we had were beyond delicious, so many different dishes made with produce they grow on their land, fresh eggs, chicken, pork and beef. The kids also are super sweet and fun, and we loved the dog Mucu. We got to do an all day trek with Ze and Hoa as our guides — incredible!
- Nora (10/5): Exceptional - I had an amazing stay!! The family was super nice and the food was absolutely delicious! The views were beautiful!
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional homestay and a gem of Mu Cang Chai - Exceptional homestay - the rooms are nice and spacious and have a cute little terrace. The homestay has great views over the rice terraces. The family running the homestay is nothing short of amazing - they are incredibly welcoming and helpful organising treks, activities or transport. The food is mostly homegrown and very delicious. Couldn’t recommend it more!
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - The host family is very kind.
- Eugen (6/5): Not the experience we expected - The host picked us up at 2 am in the night when our bus arrived, which is really great. The view from the bungalows was really nice. We were helped with organizing a driver to Bac Ha. I don't know it's normal for homestays in North Vietnam, but staying in a room without heating in winter is really uncomfortable. Also the bungalow was not tight, so cold air could come inside. The water during showering was hot only for 10 minutes and then it got cold, the sink outlet let the water flow on the floor which made you stand in water if letting water flow for a longer time. The breakfast was very very basic, on first day a simple pancake and on the other just bread with syrup and fried eggs with soy sauce. Plus coffee, tea and mango. We often read about having dinner with the family when you stay in a homestay, but here it seems it's not part of the concept, we just got our food to eat while the family was eating at other tables and did not pay attention to us. We expected to experience the local culture and get to know the family, but our experience was just a cold place with no comfort. Sad but true.
- Romain (10/5): Go there, you won’t regret it 😁 - Very cute and typical property ! Bed is very confortable Hosts are really kind, helpful and joyful !!! (I hope one day I’ll make a trail with you 🙌) The whole journey hanging in the reefs by motorcycle with our guide was really great 👍🏼 The facilities are a bit roots speaking about the shower. As we were staying in a hut 🛖 any kind of bugs food come in (I had to deal with 3 cockroaches 🪳 lol) and it can be a bit cold depending on the weather outside that’s fine by me but that might scare some people (like my Vietnamese girl 🫢) As there is a mosquito curtain you are basically safe to sleep 😴 Also you can make a fire inside the hut on order to stay warm (you don’t need it once you are in the confortable bed sheets) My biggest disappointments : - the towels as they smell really bad and were not really good at their job. - the breakfast was not really a "typical" Hmong one, it was much more like an Occidental one Maybe you can offer an activity regarding cooking breakfast ? ☺️
- Laura (10/5): Amazing scenery. Kind and friendly hosts. - Such a kind family, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Home cooked food was delicious. Are able to arrange hiking tours, motorbike tours or rentals. Amazing scenery.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - The owners were so full of joy and very welcoming. They helped organize bus tickets and bike rentals, which made it very easy. We were close to town but far enough removed to enjoy the quiet of the mountains. Views are incredible!
- Eike (10/5): Exceptional -
- Killian (8/5): Beautiful location in a very remote area - Absolutely beautiful picturesque location. Breakfast was decent and we got different dishes each morning. We had a lovely dinner one of the nights made by the Homestay. They picked us up from our night bus. They sorted us out with a scooter. Communication was done mainly through WhatsApp with someone that wasn’t on site which made things a bit difficult at times. As they are cabins - expect plenty of outdoor visitors. We had a frog in the bathroom, there is a mosquito net over the bed so it’s not a huge deal.
- Hannes (10/5): I would definitely highly recommend it! Delicious food and nice hosts - It was really familiar and the hosts were amazing. The rooms were clean and the food delicious The beds were quite hard
- Karina (3/5): For this price you should make the houses nice! - The location and the views there are amazing and so is the couple who run this place. The hosts are truly amazing, kind and warmhearted! The house itself doesn’t look like the pictures. It is a very old house with all bugs and animals inside the bungalow. The bed was extremely hard, impossible to sleep on. I slept only for 3 hours and left because it was not nice there at all. The price was very high for this type of place. It should cost 200k not 750k. On the pictures the matras looked good but it’s a thick, hard thing that you can’t sleep on. This was the most expensive bungalow I stayed in Vietnam and the worst. I love nature but I don’t want to sleep in a room with it crawling all over me.
- Roderick (8/5): Great choice - Beautiful views, lovely staff Nothing
- Colin (10/5): Exceptional - Ly an Ze were great hosts. The breakfast and family dinners were wonderful.
- Keita (10/5): Felt a memorized Mon life - Only one style Nothing special
- Palin (10/5): Good location amazing view, big and comfortable room, nice family! - Exceptional experience with the family.
- Roberta (9/5): You feel at home when staying at Hello Mu Cang Chai. The family dinner was great, same for the fresh breakfast we had in - The view, the host and the home feeling! The bed was too hard for us.
- Geraldine (7/5): Good - Great location far from the village of La Pa Tan (that is not very interesting) and easy access to trails you can find on AllTrails. Beautiful view from the kitchen area where we ate dinner and from a common area where you can enjoy a drink watching a beautiful sunset. The couple who runs the home stay are lovely and helpful, they came to pick us up on their bikes with all our bags (interesting ride!) and dropped us off; it would have been an expensive taxi ride; and helped us with the bus - the information on Vexere or 12Go Asia is all wrong trust the locals! And they indulged us with some daily happy water, nice! There was hot water. You have two options for dinner a smaller one at 200k or bigger one at 300k; we went for long hikes every day so enjoyed the large dinner which was indeed big and filling. First day we were brought eggs for breakfast and the next two days we had a choice and had the soup, noodles which we thought better deal (bigger) and a couple of oranges. This is related to Bungalow one, and I don’t know if the other bungalows are built the same way (I think. Number one and two yes but the others looked newer) - so I am by no means talking about all the bungalows. You can tell they tried to clean the bungalow but it was very windy when we stayed and the bathroom would get lots of dust, branches etc. The shower drain gets very backed up so it gets all in all a little messy because of the rustic design of the bathroom. We understand we stayed in a traditional home stay (we have stayed in many in the four months we ve been travelling) but never had that many bugs/insects - all kinds you can imagine - and the mosquito net didn’t work for these and had some visitors over night; tip: we tucked the net under the mattress and worked better! (The wooden panels / beams can welcome these small outside guests :)!) We have stayed on very hard mattresses but this one in the top, it s a thin futon on a wooden bed. Finally bear in mind that although you are far from the village and feel in the middle of nowhere which is nice, you can hear the trucks and traffic honking from very early morning because of one heavily trafficked local road.
- Mark (6/5): Pleasant - Beautiful views. The family was kind and made an amazing dinner and the breakfast was basic but nice. The accommodation is very much connected to nature. I couldn't get breakfast around 9:40 before I checked out as no one was around. There is a very steep slope up to the homestay. So it can be a tough to carry your luggage to and from the parking area. The bed was very hard for me.
- Breda (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the location on top of a hill in the middle of the paddy fields. The hosts, Ly and Dze, are very warm and welcoming people, and the food is fabulous, for vegetarians as well. Lovely place.
- Lubomir (10/5): Exceptional - We spent 3 amazing days in Hello Homestay and loved the hospitality of owners, delicious food (fully recommending dinner with happy water) and view from the hut. We also took motorbike tour and hiking half-day tour, both met our expectations.
- Roger (9/5): Excellent - Wonderful location and great hosts - really enjoyed the stay and lovely motorbike drive in. Great food too. Not a fan of Vietnamese coffee for breakfast! :)
- Vid (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was great and very helpful. They speak English so everything is easier. They organized us two tours with a guide that also speaks English. Price performance is great at this homestay, dinners were delicious, we definitely recommend it!
- Lydie (10/5): Lovely place to be - unforgettable moment - THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! 20/10 Staying here was my best experience in Vietnam. The hosts are extraordinary people and their kindness is second to none... The owner makes the meals and I have never eaten so well. If you want to be in an authentic, comfortable place, with a breathtaking view, this is it. To top it all off, they speak English.... they're people who built everything themselves and you can chat with them ... they're EXTREMELY warm and welcoming. They take care of everything. You're really in the heart. I've only seen that here in Vietnam. It's with a heart full of emotion that I remember What's more, the staff are very accommodating. They do everything to make you feel good. The icing on the cake: no tourists, the most magnificent area for rice paddies. It's a haven of peace. Nothing - Everything was perfect... like a dream
- Matteo (10/5): Authentic experience - Beautiful position on the top of a hill overlooking the rice fields. The host is great, she told us about the traditions and history of her community plus she’s great at cooking and very funny! During the family dinner she dedicated some time to chat with every single table, which I appreciate. Very helpful that’s she could actually communicate in English
- Liane (10/5): Amazing - Wow!!! What a beautiful place is this. The bungalows are placed around the hill with all of them a special extra. The rooms are basic and simple, but what we needed was there and it was clean. Who needs anything more with a view like this. We where amazed by it and decided to stay another night. The owners are some special people, who are friendly, kind, warm and open. Learned us a lot about there culture and the food was great! We did a trekking, about 8km from there homestay and I would recommend this. Only nice views and sights! We loved this place! The road to the house is not for (western people) on motorbikes. ;) :) We walked it and it is absolutely no problem. It makes the bungalows less easy to reach and for that more private! Perfect!!!
- Sandra (10/5): Staff is really helpfull and nice! They offer dinners which are really big and delicious. They can manage motorbike trip - The location of homestay is really great! Few kilometres from Nga Ba Kim and stuff will pick up you in the city and help you with bags. Homestay is in the middle of rice fields and morning views are just amazing. We have the best sleeping in this homestay.

- Aleksandra (10/5): 10/10 - Kind and english speaking owners, they helped us with transport from the bus and made us breakfast and dinner. Great view! We had really amazing time with local people drinking „happy water” ;)
- Nurakif (10/5): Perfect and relaxing. Wish I had stayed longer. - Everything about the stay was ideal: the owner couple made sure everyone felt welcome and at home. The food is amazing, the view is amazing. Nothing was at fault. Waking up the the green rice fields before the harvest season was a sight to behold. If you want to see more, reach out to them to organise a full day motorbike tour around the hills. As it may be slightly out of town, best to inform them about your expected arrival and they will organise a motorbike pickup at the sleeper bus/limo bus drop off at Nga Ba Kim. Make sure to stop at Nga Ba Kim.
- Aurelie (10/5): amazing place to visit mu cang chai and le Pan tan valley - The location of the Homestay is amazing and the host are very welcoming
- Nicholas (7/5): It’s in a stunning location but quite expensive with the lack of facilities. - The location and the views are absolutely stunning. No one could speak English on arrival, no bottled water or soft drinks after a 4 hour motorcycle ride to get there! No tea/coffee in the rooms.
- Teo (10/5): Exceptional -

Ly even carry my 15 kg luggage when i change room due to different booking! Luckily i had my luggage driven up & down by bike. Very steep slope. Plus point!! I do hope that the toilet have better fragrances.
- Elise (10/5): Lovely homestay - Ly and her husband are great hosts and make you feel comfortable in their lovely homestay. We loved our stay here. The food is delicious and homemade. The rooms are simple but comfortable enough. We did one day trek and one day moto, both activities were great. A truly authentic experience !
- Nguyễn (10/5): Great location and view in Mu Cang Chai - Convenient location, can see terraced fields directly from room. Owners are "Mong" husband and wife, super friendly! You can try dinner at homestay and won't regret about it. One thing, you might need to walk around 1000 steps from the parking lot to your room, it was a great exercise for me while staying time.
- Roberto (10/5): Amazing experience - Amazing location in the middle of rice terraces still untouched from mass tourism. Outstanding experience with Ly and her family who are open to share the rich H’mong culture with their guests. Incredibly tasty food and possibility to book any kind of activities/transport locally. Ly goes the extra mile to make your stay unforgettable.
- Klembala (10/5): Exceptional - Literally the best place we’ve been in Vietnam. Astonishing landscape, kind hosts (owners) local food and rich culture. They offer several activities to guests who is intrested is their life and culture. Really peaceful region with few tourists. Really true experience!
- Daniel (9/5): Wake up surrounded by ricefields - Great place to disconnect and get to know rural Vietnam. Family is outstanding, incredibly nice and helpful. Waking up surrounded by rice fields is really incredible. Some facilities could be better, but it’s definitely worth the price
- Eamon (9/5): Great food, amazing host and stunning view - The hosts were amazing and the food they made for us was super tasty! The view was stunning, they also have a big fluffy and very friendly dog! Dinner cost us 150,000VND each, highly recommend the dinner because it seemed to change every night and you get some locally made rice whiskey with the meal. The bed is very firm but it's still comfortable after a long day of hiking.

As our bus arrived in the middle of the night, the picked us up from the bus drop off. The food is absolutely amazing, I highly recommend you opt for the family dinner. Great variety, different dishes every day and always very fresh and tasty. The bungalows have all great views over the valley and rice fields. They are clean and cozy.
