We liked everything from the booking until the last goodbye! The staff was responding to each question in a timely manner. We were welcomed with huge smiles and delicious tea. We organized the trip to visit the ethnic minorities with them and it was really worth it! Five hours through the rice fields, jungle and a local English speaking guide. Room was super clean, we made the laundry there and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Last nice touch a sandwich and water provided for our trip. Thanks so much , you made our days special with your care!

The view from the roof bar, the quality of the service from the staff. In particular the duty manager Ok Nguyen and Tuoi were exceptionally helpful. The room was very modern and had a huge bathtub. I also appreciated the location, which was very central and only a few minutes walk to the train station. I would highly recommend this hotel.

    I was blown away on arriving at Sapa Clay House after viewing the gargantuan resorts that dominate so much of the area in and around Sapa. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of central Sapa but easily close enough to visit the town for dining and shopping if that is where your interests lie. I had arrived early morning from the night train and arranged for spa treatments first thing since check in time is not until 1PM. The massage and facial were heavenly after the bone-shaking train trip! Highlights at SCH include the beautiful gardens that provide many of the vegetables and herbs that are used to create healthful and delicious meals. The views are spectacular from the many sitting and resting areas as well as the very comfortable rooms. The entire property is tastefully decorated with local art and artifacts. The staff and owners act as one family, and everyone is very attentive to the needs and requests of the guests. As mentioned, the food is amazing, and I had a ginger cocktail that was SO delicious I can’t wait to try to replicate it at home. The staff offered several options for guided walks and as a solo traveler, I was happy to be paired with another couple. We spent a lovely day exploring the stunning rice and tea fields in the Lai Chau district with our guide Do providing information about agriculture, customs, and the cultures of the area.

    The staffs at the reception lobby are most helpful and also provide great customer service. I would like to mention a special thank you to a reception Staff - May (hope i get her name right). Not only did she provide great help and advice on where to travel around for sight see, she even pay meticulous attention to pre-emp our needs, like preparing the Hotel buggy for my family of six to pick us up from the hotel Swimming pool complex to return to hotel main lobby, so that we can be on time for our transport back to Railway Station. The hotel rooms (we had the Family Suite and the Deluxe rooms) are all cleaned and well equipped. Hotel breakfast also has a good spread.

    The room was very spacious, neat, and with a nice view of the mountains surrounding the village. The bathroom was the best we had during our time in Vietnam, it was really good. Cleaning was also really good. Best was probably the reception staff, they were really helpful and kind. They helped us with getting taxi's and recommending restaurants and things to see in the area. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Fantastic place with exceptional staff, very friendly and attentive. Good location, right in the city, but still a bit away from the very main tourist area. The room is big and specious, clean bed and bathroom. Fresh towels every day. The view room has nice views over the mountains. Breakfast is a bit limited, but you still have everything you need, fresh juice and fruits, eggs and sausage.

    Awesome village, if you want busy and active then stay over the weekend. For a little more quieter time, then from late Monday to Friday morning is good. There is amazing trekking, site seeing and rides around the area and superb place to visit for a connection to rural Vietnam when you only have a few days.

    Lao Cai is a frontier town and as such, has a quite quirky feel to it. There is not a whole lot to do per se, apart from visiting a couple of pagodas. I do like the vibe there and there is some really good Vietnamese food available.

    Very difficult to find your way there, all homestay/hotel owners refuse to provide information and collaborate only with specific companies. English guides limited but a guide named Thao made our stay a nightmare. She was trying to push lunch and other side services, once she realized we didn’t want that, she stopped any guiding and intentionally destroyed half of one day and the whole second day by acting simply as a side person on the trip, not providing absolutely anything. Totally unprofessional and even verbally rude and sarcastic. Avoid at all costs!

    Beautiful scenery and relaxing weather. But, it's best to make sure you visit during the non-rainy seasons to avoid excessive fog and unexpected rainfall. We visited the moana cafe, glass bridge, ban mong alpine coaster and explored the city center. All these locations are a must visit to anyone visiting Sapa. This was our second trip to Sapa. During our first visit, we visited sunworld fansipan and cat cat village, and they are also absolute must visits!

    Mountainous area famous for plum.

    Mountainous area famous for plum. It's called the white valley because during the spring the whole area is covered by plum flowers. So it's best to visit in early January. Otherwise, summer is a good time for plum picking. I had an enjoyable experience picking plum myself and brought lots of them home. I was lucky to visit during the weekends when they had annual horse racing competition. Really memorable. They also have weekly Hmong flea market on Sunday, you can eat local food and see ethnic people trading. Riding motorbike and looking at the mountain was fairly enough for me. You definitely should eat at Sa Mu restaurant. The food was so good that we went there twice.

    The hoteldesapa is always busy, so you should book early. We planned ahead and reserved our room three months in advance, which gave us a complete and comfortable stay. Many travelers who arrive and try to book at the last minute often find no rooms available, which shows the hotel’s appeal and service quality. The rooms are clean and airy with beautiful views, making you feel relaxed from the moment you step in. Breakfast is plentiful and varied, and the spa offers wonderful relaxation after days of sightseeing. The staff are always enthusiastic, friendly

    I only stayed Saturday night for the Sunday market but wish I’d stayed Friday night too to see the buffalo market on Saturday morning. Get up early (~6am) and go to the market while it’s bustling with locals rather than waiting until the tourist buses arrive (from ~9am). Quan Binh Phuong does good chicken pho for 30,000 VND
