"For the price it was decent. Staff was very friendly and the property was clean. Just keep in mind the rooms are small and the shower is just a shower head where the whole bathroom gets wet. Again, for the price, it's fine. "

"The property is around 20-25 drive from the centre of sapa with minimal amenities close by. If you are staying as a group or couple and buy supplies before returning then i would reccomend this place. If however you want to enjoy evenings in sapa each day then you would clock up quite a high bill in taxis. The property was clean and in a beautiful location. For the price though it is very good."

"Lovely homestay, conveniently located few minutes away from the village, with amazing views. The family dinner home cooked every night is delicious. Only downside: people were FREEZING and the owners didn't have more blankets. When the entire hostel is super cold, maybe it's a sign to buy more blankets and leave some of them in common areas 😁"
