    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.7
    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 81 reviews
    It is really rustic. But if you don’t mind what makes this stay particularly great is the very friendly family as well as the peaceful location. The brothers are great guides, too. If you’ve seen all the rice terraces and don’t mind a bit of sweat I highly recommend a guided hike in the forest, up the other side of the valley. This is how I pictured Vietnam before I went there (apart from the rice fields).

    It's a very nice place to stay, the room is nice and clean. Nearby is a market on the street. The location on google maps is not correct (it's on the next paralell street). The receptionnist was very friendly and we could even leave out motorbike at the hotel for 2 weeks during our trip to China. Thank you!

    Everything! The location was amazing. Peaceful, in the middle of the ricefields in a very interesting local village. The owners, Emma and Pepsi, were so sweet, professional and truly inspiring. They always made sure you felt at home. It has a very cute pool with the perfect temperature. The pool is very clean. The views from the homestay are amazing. The rooms are taken very well care of. They are beautiful and the communal spaces are very big, and as well, beautiful. They have a very cute dog, MuiMui.
