Homestays in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam

Place is nice. It is near the city center however I would not recommend it to any elderly tho as the steps are a but stiff. Place is very quiet so its a plus. We encounter some problems tho specially with the electricity and the keycard. Keycard was not working the whole time we stayed there. Only upside would be that the one we talk to in whatsapp replies fast so they provided us with temporary password each time we had to enter or we would have the cleaning lady open the doors for us if she’s there. The electricity also short circuits causing us to lose electricity.

Lovely big room with a beautiful view. Defo one of the prettiest views we’ve stayed at since being in Vietnam . Quite cold at night even with heater and bed is definitely very very hard. (They did offer a mattress topper when saying this however) Very kind hosts However, human waste tissues in the bin by the toilet when we arrived and mould on back of the decorative pillow on the bed. Lovely place just needs some more attention to important details.

I had a great time at Chin Chin's. Chin Chin and her mother are very friendly and welcoming, and the family dinner they serve is amazing. I did one trekking tour with Chin Chin as well, she's very open to questions and conversation about the local cultures, so it was very interesting. On top of that there's some beautiful views and places you get to see.

The accommodation is brand new, all equipment is new, the bathroom is luxurious, clean and has a very chill aquarium. Super central location, very fast taxi call and there is a convenient Vinmart opposite.

For my last night in SAPA I was excited to stay here and be surrounded by nature. It was truly a beautiful place with a comfortable bed, a spacious room and a stunning view. It is easy to get a grab taxi to pick you up and take you into town which is about 10 minutes away. There are snacks and drinks upstairs, games, a pool table, etc. The bathtub was great and the hot water does go off at some point but it fills up the tub enough for a happy soak which is good, so you aren't wasting water. Just remember to be prepared for all the stairs up and down from your bungalow to the reception, especially in terms of general needs or carrying your luggage. It is worth the stay if you don't mind this and I am quite happy with the stay. I did not eat anything as I had an early morning bus to Hanoi so I can't comment on that.

Our room was extremely spacious with a beautiful view of the ********* mountain side. Our room came with free breakfast made to order every morning. The staff were super good about asking us the night before what we would like to have for breakfast and when we would like to have it, our room was super clean. Beds were very comfortable the only issue we had is they were having issues with water pressure and they’re hot water, but I am sure that they have that fixed by now.  when this was brought to their attention, they immediately had a technician come out and tried to fix it, but it required additional parts so I’m sure that that issue is no longer a problem. 

It was located midway along the trek, and the view was fantastic. The service was excellent, and I was able to see the homes and lifestyles of the ethnic minorities. There aren't many places to eat around Damin. I bought warm tofu every day from Yeopjip's Tofu Factory. For those who are trekking, it would be a good option to take a break and explore the surrounding area.

It's what you'd expect for the price, they are a little disorganised, but I must add that Tham (manager) organised a private taxi to the Lao Cai border gate for me for just 100k VND. They'll also arrange motorbike/tours/bus tickets etc if you need it, but give them a little time and patience !

We chose this structure for a good price! 5 stars go to the room for the view, it's like a small wooden stick, with a crazy view, so it's just deserving. It takes 15/20 minutes walk to the center, during the day it is feasible but not evening because it is not a lighted road so it is to assess the Grab option that is still super efficient in the area and costs little! Our room had everything: covers, boiler, hairdryer, hot air conditioner, TV. We chose the room with bathroom and shower without tent, it was not the best of comfort because the whole bathroom was wet, because the bathroom was very small, A large neo was during the shower that the hot water no longer worked so it did as it could. We can make breakfast in the building but we have not enjoyed it, but I think it is an eastern breakfast so it is to be informed! In general, I advise you if you want to stay more apart and enjoy a beautiful view but I would recommend a normal room but with a little bigger bathroom!

We had an okay stay in this guest house. Mr and Ms Nguyen were very accommodating during our stay, they let us check in early, free of charge and were very kind to us during our stay. The rooms provided are okay, it was pretty standard/basic, but we enjoyed the heated mattress that helped us sleep properly in the night. No AC also since SaPa temps is already cold at night but there is an e-Fan provided.
