"We stopped here for one night during our trip to Sapa. It was a lovely little escape from the town. We enjoyed having breakfast while looking out at the mountains, and the place had a very relaxed feel. The hosts were warm and helpful, and everything was easy from check-in to check-out. We would happily stay here again if we come back to Sapa."

"I had a lovely stay in Ta Van village. The children were wonderful and I enjoyed spending time with the family and learning more about local life. The village is peaceful, beautiful, and a great place to experience the mountains and culture of northern Vietnam. Thank you for the hospitality and for the memories. Wishing the family all the best."

"My sister and I love the peacefulness of the location with wonderful amenities like AC, herbal bath, salt sauna, pool, massage services. The service was excellent from the time we got there and when we left. We also love how the resort built to compliment the surrounding. Very well design. The room was very comfortable and clean. We wished we could stay here a little longer."

"We booked a stay here for our anniversary and it was the best decision. What we loved most wasn't just the cozy room, but the incredible outdoor space. We spent hours on our private balcony just soaking in the vibe. The surrounding garden is beautifully kept and full of local flowers. Sipping hot coffee on the wooden deck while watching the morning mist clear up was purely magical. Plus, since it's tucked away with almost zero light pollution, we actually got to stargaze at night! If you want a truly private, romantic hideaway where you can slow down and reconnect, this is it."

"Just to clarify, we booked the cheapest room category with a shared bathroom. First, the positives :) The staff were super friendly and spoke very good English. The breakfast offered a good selection, plus unlimited water, coffee, and fresh juice. The dinner and drinks offered were also reasonably priced and tasty. You can rent scooters for a small extra charge, and the bed is very comfortable. The view is great, and there's a shared balcony. But... Location: The hotel is a 45-minute taxi ride from Sapa City (about €8-10 one-way with Grab). While you can rent scooters, the last part of the road (about 2 km/20 minutes) is nothing but potholes, gravel, and switchbacks, and it's unlit after dark (the reception also advises against driving at night). Room: Our room didn't have air conditioning (there are rooms that do :)). Since the local wildlife is very active here (mosquitoes, beetles, butterflies, and moths), you can't sleep with the window open. The door and walls aren't completely sealed, which means if there's too much light, you'll have a lot of insects in the room (both in the bed and in your clothes). Room service is available upon request, but it's not very effective; the dead beetles in our room were still there afterward. This is also an issue in the shared toilets; you unfortunately have to dodge beetles while using the facilities. Because the walls are very thin, you can hear the nearby frogs and other residents very clearly (which can be both good and bad). If you love nature and hiking, we can highly recommend this hotel. For sightseeing, perhaps not."

"Friendly and helpful host family. Ambient room and an relaxing environment."

"Room was clean. Location is nice to go for hikes directly, though be mindful that most group hikes start in Sapa centre. A taxi ride from the hotel to Sapa takes 25-30m. Overall it’s a nice and quiet hotel. I ended up needing to book one of the more expensive rooms (the only one availability during Tet). To that point, I don’t think the hotel was worth price I paid, however I can imagine their basic rooms are better value and not a bad choice. I would not book again."

"The room was clean and the staff was a helpful little boy. The AC in room was broken so he offered to change the room for me. The view from the window was peaceful, feeling immersed in the life of the village. In the morning I was lucky enough to see a rainbow from the window. And don’t forget to play with the cat in the homestay, he usually sleeps under the chair in breakfast rooom."

"Beautiful place! It was a pleasure to stay here for a few days. Grab taxi is accessible, so you don’t have to worry that it’s too far away from the city — it’s worth a 30 min ride I need to highlight the service as well, freshly cooked meals from the workers were amazing! And of course here’s the Pencil! He was our companion, he even went on a walk with us! I highly recommend this place!"
