"For the price it was decent. Staff was very friendly and the property was clean. Just keep in mind the rooms are small and the shower is just a shower head where the whole bathroom gets wet. Again, for the price, it's fine. "

"If I could give the family alone 5 stars, I would. They invited us to join them for dinner each night (for 150k each) and it was a very nice experience! They also helped to arrange a trek through the area and a car back to Sapa town when it was time for us to leave. But anyone who is planning to visit in the winter should be warned that it is very cold and the home does not have heat which made it rather uncomfortable. Luckily, the days were sunny which helped but the nights were very cold....

"Lovely hostel in a rural village. It's a.ahort walk up a steep road that is too narrow for cars, although motorbikes frequent it. This is a backpacker destination and we were the only ones there with children. The hosts are very helpful, and the people in the village are kind. Anywhere you go will involve walking steep paths, and if you choose to do any trekking, expect a challenge if you are not an experienced hiker. Also expect a lot of mud, so pack appropriately. The landscape of area is one...

"Une homestay très proche du chemin principal donc facilement accessible mais au calme (pas de coq, moto...). Accueil et service au top, le propriétaire est très serviable, les plats servis sont très très généreux, et les prix bien accesible. Nous étions bien au calme et nous avons fait de belles rencontres. Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Mes enfants avaient de la place pour jouer, ils ont adoré jouer avec les autres enfants. Pas de chauffage mais grosses couettes donc ça va et si on veut il y...

"Sue and her Hmong family welcomed us into their home and really looked after us. Home cooked meals, breakfast and dinner each day, plus a bonus of a barbecue party, one day at lunch, which we were invited to. Only a handful of other guests from around the globe were amazing to interact with. If you’re looking for a truly cultural experience in Vietnam, I don’t think you’ll find one better than this thank you, Sue and your family."

"El sitio no tiene nada que ver con las fotos las paredes son de papel se escucha todo y es imposible dormir. Hay hoyos en las paredes por lo cual entran mil bichos. Baños extremadamente sucios así como áreas comunes. El staff real no estaba debido a Tet año nuevo Chino. Para eso mejor que no abran el hotel porque el staff que estaba no hablaba nada de inglés. Por lo cual no nos recomendaron nada... ni podían ayudarnos en nada... el mismo staff se quedó a dormir a lado de nuestra habitación...
