"Its higher up in the hills, its far enough from the busy areas so its peacefull, all you hear is the chickens. Mountains look foggy and mysterious. Its a good location to go in walks from, I saw lots of the famous terraced fields. Room was clean and nice, good service and communication from the hosts. 250k VND to go to Sapa town, but the countryside is better than the town"

"Let me just say this is the nicest stay we have had in our many travels. The room was so big and beautifully done, the fireplace completed the welcoming, cozy feeling . I prefer the privacy of this B&B and being just outside of the city center where is so busy and noisy and just a short ride. The owners are so nice and welcoming. Mr Hung speaks English really well and is always willing to help set up a taxi ride, an activity or just answer any questions. His parents run the B&B during the day...

"DO NOT STAY HERE. We were hoping for a resort-style place to unwind for a day before we travelled to Sapa. We arrived at 6am hoping for an early check-in. We paid NZD90 for a night and were charged USD80 (NZD120) to check in early. Breakfast was sparse and tastes awful - this place had the worst selection we have encountered so far. The place feels eerie, like you're in a horror movie. Everything smells like cigarette smoke. The only other guests we saw were what looked like Chinese high rollers...
