    Okay, so usually I don’t write reviews, so this one is special, Pe and his family is a MUST stay in Sapa, they’re the closest to a family I had in Vietnam, warm welcome, cozy stay and a lot to learn about them, plus the best Family dinners. I sincerely hope that his homestay will be the most recommended in Sapa because God knows this guys are Great!

    Fantastic stay in Healing Homestay, very beautiful and calm. The staff were friendly and amazing! They are very helpful and kindly. Lovely place with a nice view, very quiet away from the crowds, they have the restaurant inside and the dinner was great! They organized the trek tour too but after all, I didn’t join caused I was sick :) unfortunately. The lovely little cats and dogs, they are so adorable 😍

    O Chau Homestay was a lovely experience. The room was spacious, the en suite was big and modern. The balcony had a wonderful view. The food was fantastic. The couple who ran it were gracious and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back.

    Staying with Pe and his lovely family on their farm/homestay was one of the best and most authentic experiences in Vietnam for us. They were very kind and you get to know them and their culture over dinner. The food was good, fresh and there was always plenty for everyone. We stayed 4 nights and loved every second of it. The trekking we did with them was beautiful as well.

    Such an amazing experience! Pe Thao was a wonderful host. He boasted with energy and enthusiasm. The views were spectacular & some of the best trekking we’ve done in Southeast Asia. The family was welcoming and the homestay was filled with animals and children. It was truely an authentic experience!

    Our stay at Sapa Hillcrest Homestay was perfect. Pe Thao and his family welcomed us with open arms in their farm. We could really feel as part of the family. Stay here if you want to live an authentic Vietnamese experience in Sapa. The view is incredible. Pe Thao can help you for anything (taxi, hiking tour …) You can go there by walk is you are a bit sportive 😉 (1h from Sapa). Thanks !

  • H'mong Eco House

    Homestay in Lao Cai
    Avg. price/night: US$13.65

    Peaceful surroundings in the middle of the ricefields, away from busy roads. Helpful host couple. Nice with possibilty to have dinner with the family. With the help of google translate communication works fine. When arriving and walking the 200 m from the taxi to the house you will probably be approached by local girls wanting to sell crafts. Wait with buying from them. The hosts mother has a little shop in the homestay. Maybe you want to purchase from them instead.

    Great location. Walking distance from the trails. Lovely homestay with great family. Sapa fields can be seen from the window and you can hear waterfalls in the back. Perfect country stay!
