Homestays in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam

The picture online seemed like the balcony is yours. Didn’t realize it’s a shared balcony. The location isn’t that far from the center but going to the homestay was such a struggle for me with a suitcase. You have to go through stairs and it isn’t really friendly with tourists who have lots of stuff especially suitcases cause the stairs is narrow. The bed looks cute on pictures but it’s hard to move around and plug your phone. No bedside table and the curtains need to be changed because it’s torn and I had to tie it and put a chair just so I wouldn’t be seen from outside.

Dude, Green Sapa Homestay was awesome! The staff were super friendly and helpful, from the moment I checked in to when I left. My room was spotless and comfy, had everything I needed. Breakfast was delicious and had tons of options. Plus, the location was perfect easy walk to the market and restaurants, and close to all the Sapa sights. Seriously, you gotta stay there if you're going to Sapa. You won't regret it!

I actually didn’t stay here. When i came to checkin, the receptionist said there is no room for me (booked and paid online) i came from Noi bai airport to Sapa, i reached around 5.30am at the hotel lobby. I told the receptionist that i will stay only until the checkout time (11am). He said that the person who’s incharge for the booking is drunk and he/she didn’t inform him (night shift). The hotel don’t have computer on the reception area, maybe that why he cannot check and he also look like he have eyesight problem. Bless him. He handle the situation very well. He should get a raise. Dear owner, give him a raise. The person who drunk should be fired, he/she give other staff trouble. This happened today morning 26/6/2024 btw. I gave poor rating for the hotel service but for the receptionist, 5 star.

The hotel is in a great location. Within walking distance of shops, cafes and ticket offices for the cable car to the top of Fansipan. The rooms are cozy and clean, the staff is polite and helpful. Self-check-in according to the instructions was simple and clear. I recommend!

The accommodation is clean, the room is clean, there is a hair dryer, air conditioner, bleach, hot water, good service, the owner is kind and can communicate in English very well. But the only downside is that I stayed on the third floor, there is no elevator, I have to walk up and down. If you have a big bag, you have to carry it up, it's quite heavy. The owner also recommended places to visit.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Sapa Sinai Homestay Hotel. The view from our bungalow was simply breathtaking — waking up to the stunning mountain scenery was a highlight of our trip. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, offering a perfect blend of charm and tranquillity. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a good variety of options to suit all tastes. What truly made our stay exceptional, though, was the incredible hospitality. Our host went above and beyond — helping us book attraction tickets, recommending the best local spots to visit, and even arranging taxis for us at very reasonable prices. Her kindness and attention to detail really made us feel at home. We would absolutely love to stay here again and can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone visiting Sapa!

Healing resort. The location is on the mountain? The convenience is not that great, but everything can be done within the resort, so there is no major inconvenience. The hotel staff are also very kind. I fell in love with their kindness!

The rooms are as shown in the photo. The rooms and entire place is also very clean. The breakfast is affordable and simple but very good. The atmosphere of the place is also very friendly and the boss is extremely friendly and jokes around with you to make you feel welcomed. He also helps with tips on where to go, what to do and eat around Sapa. Will be booking again when I visit SaPa again

Pros - Smooth liaising with the hotel through WhatsApp/instagram & trip.com itself even before our trip, very responsive & helpful in answering our queries & concerns - We arrived in Sapa early in the morning & appreciate that we're able to check in early - The room was very clean & cozy - Friendly receptionist that catered to our needs - Excellent service with morning call & offer for bellboy service to carry our luggages up to the lobby when we had to check out much earlier - Room cleanup service was quick but also unexpected, as we went for breakfast & came back to a cleaned room. It would be nice if laxsik had a door tag for us to indicate if we wanted 'room service' or not - We had to check out quite early in the morning, laxsik offered to give us a complete set of takeaway breakfast with fruits, sandwiches & bottled water Cons - We stayed in the family bungalow with 2 bedrooms & bathrooms, there was no shower gel for one of the rooms & no conditioner for the other room, it would be great if both rooms had the same amenities - Some tiles on the bathroom ceiling of house 10 were not intact completely hence it felt unsafe & cold air seeped in which turned the bathroom very chilly Overall we had a pleasant stay at laxsik despite the view being blocked by the fog for most of our stay, the accommodations made up for it. Do take note that it is a 10-15mins drive to Sapa town so expect to pay 200,000 vnd for a taxi. The receptionist will help you book a driver if you aren't able to get a Grab from accommodations to town. Getting Grab from Sapa town to the accommodations was quite easy. The fireplace in the lodge is highly recommended if you are staying during the cold season! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and warmed our hearts and bodies.

The accommodation has a very beautiful view. The room is clean. The bathroom has a water heater. But the entrance and exit of the accommodation is quite steep. It takes a little time. But overall, it's very worth staying here. Have a chance to go back and stay again ✨⛰️

the facility is quite old and the room are not totally sound proofing, u can hear the other rooms but acceptable for the price..

Great location, there are coffee shops, food and other essentials you need around the area for a vacation. The lake is just outside the homestay which is great. The room is ok for a cheap price, but the only issue I'm only concern with was about the bedsheets, it got small stains and even the pillows. There were no soap in the bath as well that I had to buy in a store. Other services is superb 👍👍 Overall experience, 8 out of 10

The view from my room. Pretty nice view i’d say would recommend to couples and family.

We had such a lovely stay at the Sapa Farmstay! The local family running the establishment is warm, friendly, and hospitable. We ate dinner with them twice—the food was beyond delicious and fresh, and I loved the family-style atmosphere during mealtime. The rooms were just like the photos: comfy, clean, and well-decorated, with plenty of hotel-style amenities! The only minor drawback was the hot water…it was quite cold in Sapa during our visit in January, and the hot water never lasted more than 3 minutes or so during showers. This was a minor issue, though, and we will for sure re-book when we return to Sapa again!

The shower stops working after about 15 minutes. This happened repeatedly, so it's not a coincidence. The front desk staff can speak some English, so it's not a problem to arrange a taxi, etc. But be careful when you use the restaurant. They don't understand English, but they say ”OK” and everything. Even if you only ask about a menu item, they think it's an order and bring it to you. So I recommend that you double-check what you order yourself. On the last day, I had them book a limousine bus to the airport. I booked a bus at 7:00am, and they took me to the bus stop, but the bus actually arrived at 7:40am. This was not their fault, but when you book a bus, it might be better to arrange a reliable limousine bus yourself. It's unfortunate that this happened, but the staff are all kind and polite. I hope they do better, so I'm rooting for them. Thank you.

Great location, very nice staff and very informative. Would return again
