This was our favorite stay in Vietnam. The property sits in the gorgeous Hmong Hoa valley right on a rice farm with more terraces in the view. A couple of waterfalls within view as well. Also a 1 min walk from the local village. The hosts are wonderful and treat you like part of the family. They are working on their English still but that didn’t effect our experience. They were so kind and accommodating. We would most definitely stay here again!

I don't think I could do justice to May and her family in my review but it was life changing! From the minute I booked to my departure, May and her family were incredibly welcoming. The three nights I spent here are sacred because I came as a guest and left as friends! May is a superwoman, she is an excellent tour guide, safe motorcyclist, fabulous chef and the best host I have ever had. The bungalow is in the most magical setting and to have delicious breakfast every morning immersed in a green oasis is special indeed. Cao (May's son) provided excellent communication and was always on hand to help. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe my entire trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the trek, the herbal bath and motorbike tour! I also loved all the dinners I had and May's culinary expertise meant she was able to adapt the meals to my taste- i.e. extra spicy! I will make it a point to revisit Vietnam, just to stay with May and her family!

If you want to escape the tourist crowds and connect with real village life, this is the perfect place. The room is simple but very clean and comfortable. I loved waking up to the sounds of nature and the view from my bed was like a painting.

    It is really rustic. But if you don’t mind what makes this stay particularly great is the very friendly family as well as the peaceful location. The brothers are great guides, too. If you’ve seen all the rice terraces and don’t mind a bit of sweat I highly recommend a guided hike in the forest, up the other side of the valley. This is how I pictured Vietnam before I went there (apart from the rice fields).

    It's a very nice place to stay, the room is nice and clean. Nearby is a market on the street. The location on google maps is not correct (it's on the next paralell street). The receptionnist was very friendly and we could even leave out motorbike at the hotel for 2 weeks during our trip to China. Thank you!

    Everything! The location was amazing. Peaceful, in the middle of the ricefields in a very interesting local village. The owners, Emma and Pepsi, were so sweet, professional and truly inspiring. They always made sure you felt at home. It has a very cute pool with the perfect temperature. The pool is very clean. The views from the homestay are amazing. The rooms are taken very well care of. They are beautiful and the communal spaces are very big, and as well, beautiful. They have a very cute dog, MuiMui.
