At the guest house, the units include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and slippers, units at the guest house also have free WiFi. At the guest house, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels. Moc’s House was a rural oasis after the chaos of Hanoi. The proprietor, Huong, was wonderfully welcoming and an excellent host. We loved the room, the setting and the hospitality. Huong was very comfortable with Google Translate and was happy to accommodate us in any way. The place was spotless, the heater worked well and there was ample hot water for showers. The view over the valley was lovely. The setting would be even more delightful in warmer weather when the beautiful decks could be put to good use. It is a 20-25 minute walk into town (Sunday market).

Featuring garden views, Hmong Wooden Home features accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a bar, around 17 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station. This guest house offers free private parking and a shared kitchen. The guest house provides mountain views, a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. The best homestay in Sa Pa, I only have words of gratitude for Mo and his family, I felt really pampered even with room service for breakfast with exquisite pancakes, vietnamese coffee and omelettes. The room was simply beautiful, good wifi, and comfortable, with a nice terrace overlooking the rice field. The architecture is truly unique in the area, the food Mo makes is delicious, and you can dine with his family every night if you wish, with a variety of typical Hmong cuisine and homemade rice wine. It is really worth staying here, check the weather carefully so that you have sunny days, bring cash, your google translator ready, and if you can rent a motorcycle in Sa Pa, much better.

At the guest house, each unit has a balcony. There is a private bathroom with bidet in every unit, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the guest house, units include bed linen and towels. The owner was very kind and considerate. He accommodated our request to check in early in the morning for an affordable fee. The location is also strategic, within walking distance to the city center. We booked two rooms, which were very comfortable and equipped with heaters. Despite our early check-in, the rooms were clean and ready for us. They also offer bike rentals, and the lady was kind enough to help us find an additional bike to rent. Laundry services are available if needed. I highly recommend this homestay for its excellent value and quality. Not to forget, the owner has an adorable cat that warmly welcomes guests hahaha!

At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and brunch and serves Japanese cuisine. Honestly the best we got the king room and stayed for 4 nights! Staff were absolutely amazing and so helpful and they make a really good salt coffee! Very cosy :) Helped us on the last day take our surfboard on the motorbike to the bus station because our taxi could not fit it. She followed us with it which was a life saver Would highly recommend

Featuring garden views, Viet Duc Guest House offers accommodation with patio, around 4.5 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and full-day security, along with free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. We loved it here. This was the perfect place to land in Sa Pa. We hadn’t had any trekking pre-booked so we were so grateful that Ha, the owner, helped us. She is an incredible host and you just feel welcome and taken care of. She helped us book an amazing 3-day trekking tour, and found us a bus to our next destination very last minute. Breakfast was excellent as well — she makes the best omelettes! We liked it so much here that we stayed an extra night when we came back from the Trekking your. the rooms are big, the showers hot, and all for a very affordable price.

Set within 6.4 km of Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station and less than 1 km of Sa Pa Lake, Indigo Cat offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sa Pa. The property has city views and is 400 metres from Sa Pa Stone Church and 700 metres from Sa Pa Bus Station. The guest house features family rooms. This is a 10-star review because our stay at Indigo Cat was fantastic. Chaï, the owner, is a very good english speaker (which is rare in Sapa), but above all, she’s a lovely, kind and very helpful person. Indigo Cat is a family business and all of them are very nice and appealing. There is also a nice shop with Indigo handcrafted items, so it makes the place very special. Room is very clean and spacious for 2 people. The hotel opened recently so all the furniture and bed linen are new. Take a room with Mountain view, it’s fabolous. I recommend this place at 1000% !!!
