The hotel has a great location, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was very good! They would prepare eggs, pancakes and French toast at our request. There was a fridge with fresh fruit juice in individual glass bottles, as well as yogurt. The staff was very attentive, polite and helpful. When we arrived, we were given a hot cloth and tea. Mr. Kim, the manager explain very clearly all we needed to know about the hotel and the city. We would surely come back!!!

After our plans changed, we booked this hotel thinking it would be for one night. As weather didn't allowed, we ended up staying another night and the owners went above and beyond accommodating us and making us feel welcome. The location was continent, a few minutes walk to the city center. The room was in great condition and the beds were comfortable. We even got upgraded to a room with a nice view of the valley, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast selection was big and everything was fresh and tasted good. Overall, high value for money and a great place for someone want a quite and nice hotel in Sapa.

Not much of a hiker/trekker or backpacker or biker. Received everything that I paid for. Received a room upgrade too. The people at the reception provided excellent service and customer support from all ends. They really are committed people and treated me with respect and kindness.

The location is great too, just a short walk to restaurants and the town centre, and the right end of town for the start of a lot of hikes. Really happy and will be recommending to friends 😊

SAPAXA Lodge is truly a hidden gem.

SAPAXA Lodge is truly a hidden gem. If you are looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature and an authentic village atmosphere, this is the perfect place. Our family had an unforgettable experience, far away from noise and stress, where we could relax and reconnect with nature. The setting is beautiful and natural, offering a rare opportunity to experience real village life while still enjoying comfort. The calm environment, fresh air, and welcoming atmosphere make it ideal for families, couples, and anyone seeking a meaningful and refreshing getaway. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. We left with wonderful memories and would highly recommend SAPAXA Lodge to anyone who wants a unique, relaxing, and enriching stay.

A great, quiet mountain town - and we didn't even go for the Sunday market! We stayed 4 nights, and would come back. Take tours of the surrounding hill tribes and mountains with Mr Huy Trung, from Huy Trung Homestay, or use his self-guided walking tour maps. We enjoyed the second hand shops and Milano coffee cafe, and a restaurant at BacHA Boutique Homestay, by the lake.

Setting expectations with you: Sapa is an old town with lots of similar stores and shops. Nice people and I think 2/3 days are just enough to see everything there and nearby. I would recommend using ride services ( Grab, etc.. ) to get you around town and to see the sites. Otherwise, you will be walking ... a lot.. up and down hills and steps/steps. Bring cash to get better deals. Using CC means 3-5% charge fee. Small Note: Canadian Goose [Jackets] are not made or assembled in Vietnam...

Very difficult to find your way there, all homestay/hotel owners refuse to provide information and collaborate only with specific companies. English guides limited but a guide named Thao made our stay a nightmare. She was trying to push lunch and other side services, once she realized we didn’t want that, she stopped any guiding and intentionally destroyed half of one day and the whole second day by acting simply as a side person on the trip, not providing absolutely anything. Totally unprofessional and even verbally rude and sarcastic. Avoid at all costs!

The best part for us was the countryside . The town Was surprisingly noisy, lots of bright lights on the buildings. I expected a quaint town not a very busy touristy place. We took a private taxi 5-6 hours from Hanoi. Very long journey, the last part of the journey is a very steep incline with very rugged roads.

Mountainous area famous for plum.

Mountainous area famous for plum. It's called the white valley because during the spring the whole area is covered by plum flowers. So it's best to visit in early January. Otherwise, summer is a good time for plum picking. I had an enjoyable experience picking plum myself and brought lots of them home. I was lucky to visit during the weekends when they had annual horse racing competition. Really memorable. They also have weekly Hmong flea market on Sunday, you can eat local food and see ethnic people trading. Riding motorbike and looking at the mountain was fairly enough for me. You definitely should eat at Sa Mu restaurant. The food was so good that we went there twice.
