We had a fantastic stay. The location 30min east of Sapa in the valley was great. Beautiful views and just a short walk to the village with restaurants. The last 300m are not accessible by car, only motorbike or walking, but our host took our luggage to the road by motorbike in order to take a taxi back to Sapa. Room and bathroom were clean and comfortable and it was lovely to enjoy the evenings on the terrace. Our host and his family were super friendly. We arrived earlier than expected in the middle of the night and got a room anyways. Breakfast was tasty, so was the (vegetarian) dinner we had one night. The trekking tour we booked through our host was exceptional.

The view is truly exceptional. The place has a very authentic atmosphere, and the couple hosting it are incredibly kind and attentive to your needs. I loved every moment I spent there. If you’re looking for a warm homestay experience and the chance to share meals with a Hmong family, this is definitely the place to go.

From Check in to Check out we had a wonderful experience. The family that hosted us was super kind and friendly. They always wanted to make sure if we needed anything extra, or if they can do anything to make our stay even better. The rooms are really nice, big and clean, and we had our own en-suite bathroom, which was great. Dinner was lovely, we joined in on a family dinner, and it was a brilliant local experience with very tasty food (I can recommend it to everyone - ask for a family dinner) . Breakfast was really nice. The owner asked us every night what time would we like breakfast in the morning, and when we woke up breakfast would be ready on time. Her pancakes are delicious too. Very very good service, and I can 100% recommend this to anyone passing by the wonderful little village.

    Okay, so usually I don’t write reviews, so this one is special, Pe and his family is a MUST stay in Sapa, they’re the closest to a family I had in Vietnam, warm welcome, cozy stay and a lot to learn about them, plus the best Family dinners. I sincerely hope that his homestay will be the most recommended in Sapa because God knows this guys are Great!

    Fantastic stay in Healing Homestay, very beautiful and calm. The staff were friendly and amazing! They are very helpful and kindly. Lovely place with a nice view, very quiet away from the crowds, they have the restaurant inside and the dinner was great! They organized the trek tour too but after all, I didn’t join caused I was sick :) unfortunately. The lovely little cats and dogs, they are so adorable 😍

    O Chau Homestay was a lovely experience. The room was spacious, the en suite was big and modern. The balcony had a wonderful view. The food was fantastic. The couple who ran it were gracious and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back.

    Staying with Pe and his lovely family on their farm/homestay was one of the best and most authentic experiences in Vietnam for us. They were very kind and you get to know them and their culture over dinner. The food was good, fresh and there was always plenty for everyone. We stayed 4 nights and loved every second of it. The trekking we did with them was beautiful as well.

    Such an amazing experience! Pe Thao was a wonderful host. He boasted with energy and enthusiasm. The views were spectacular & some of the best trekking we’ve done in Southeast Asia. The family was welcoming and the homestay was filled with animals and children. It was truely an authentic experience!

    Our stay at Sapa Hillcrest Homestay was perfect. Pe Thao and his family welcomed us with open arms in their farm. We could really feel as part of the family. Stay here if you want to live an authentic Vietnamese experience in Sapa. The view is incredible. Pe Thao can help you for anything (taxi, hiking tour …) You can go there by walk is you are a bit sportive 😉 (1h from Sapa). Thanks !

    Peaceful surroundings in the middle of the ricefields, away from busy roads. Helpful host couple. Nice with possibilty to have dinner with the family. With the help of google translate communication works fine. When arriving and walking the 200 m from the taxi to the house you will probably be approached by local girls wanting to sell crafts. Wait with buying from them. The hosts mother has a little shop in the homestay. Maybe you want to purchase from them instead.

    Great location. Walking distance from the trails. Lovely homestay with great family. Sapa fields can be seen from the window and you can hear waterfalls in the back. Perfect country stay!
