"Pros: Incredible stay and food was fresh. Awesome place to hike which is out of Sapa. I was surprised at the end by the cost of hiking plus dinners and wished that the family had these prices clearly marked. Two hikes and two dinners were 165 million Dong. This wasn’t clear to us at the start. Put up a sign of likely cost. Cons: The cost were not explained and we found out as we were boarding the bus in Sapa." ~Marie

"Pros: Nice place. Great trekking. Super homestay. We loved it." ~Torben

"Pros: Wonderful peaceful location totally remote up unmade mountain tracks surrounded by views of the mountains and looking down over the rice terraces. Very helpful owner So who arranged taxis to collect us from Lao Cai station after the easy night train from Hanoi and a return all the way by car to Hanoi (5 hours). Spacious room with great views a small terrace, shower room en suite and heated blanket. No air con or heating. Weather can be very changeable in the mountains, quite often misty and cloudy with thunderstorms and heavy rain for a short while. It is a very traditional place with the indigenous Hmong people although built in 2019, for quite strenuous remote, hilly hiking: especially in the heat and humidity, or resting on the terrace which is great. Very relaxed atmosphere in the whole place. Fascinating insight into the hill tribes and their culture with brilliant embroideries. 3 nights were perfect for us. Very good contact in advance via WhatsApp. Cons: Very good value for the room only but everything else including bottled water had to be paid for and the guided hikes were expensive by comparison 25-35 US$per person depending on length and route. Food choice was a bit limited. No other places within easy reach to eat. We avoided very commercialised SaPa town which is 40 mins drive away. Phan Zi Pan mountain area can be visited but only worth it if the clouds lift." ~Kathrin

"Pros: Beautiful place. Enjoyed talking cricket with the owner." ~Timothy
