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.

Private room in the homestay was absolutely beautiful and the service was amazing. I was taken to my room at 2am on arrival, laundry was done promptly, they offered free bag storage for the day after i checked out and best of all, allowed me to use a shower when i returned to collect my bag! Highly recommend staying here as a nice spot to relax after the Ha Giang loop.

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.

Pros: The building is pretty, the boss is friendly, in front of the hostel in the morning You can eat at 20,000 Binmi, there is win mart right in front of the hostel Cons: The location is bad (stop at Laokai bus station), the bedding smells not good, there are stains, the towel smells, the smell of cigarettes in the room.

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!

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.
