Sapa Hillcrest homestay, hotel in Lao Cai

Offering a garden and mountain view, Sapa Hillcrest homestay is situated in Lao Cai, 8.5 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station and 4.2 km from Sa Pa Lake.

We stayed for one night and it was amazing! At first we had some problems with transport to the homestay, but we managed to get to the homestay by motorbike. The road is a bit bumpy, but the pin on the map is accurate and it’s also an easy walk down the hill from the main street. Pe, his brother and whole family were very friendly and kind! We did short walk around and had family dinner with them - food was delicious and it was a great experience for us! Accommodation was clean and modern, hot shower and clean bedsheets ;)) In the morning Pe’s family made pancakes and organised a ride back to Sapa city to catch our bus for us. Soo kind, thanks!

O Châu Homestay Lào Cai, hotel in Lao Cai

Situated 15 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station, 11 km from Sa Pa Lake and 10 km from Sa Pa Stone Church, O Châu Homestay Lào Cai provides accommodation set in Lao Cai.

I was in Sa Pa on the first days of a 47-day holiday. Sa Pa was my favorite place during my holiday and this was also my favorite facility. This village house in the Muong Hoa valley is clean and comfortable, and I should also mention that the room is very well-organized. I should mention that you will see real hospitality. They will serve you very nice breakfast and meals. You will be hosted by very good people. I recommend you to stay in this house, which is in a very good location in the valley. I want to come to Vietnam again and stay here. The views from the garden of the house are wonderful. Let me add them too.

Pea homestay, hotel in Lao Cai

Located in Sa Pa and only 7.6 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station, Pea homestay provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Really happy with my stay here. Totallly recommended. The family is very welcoming and super helpful. I was there for a few days and had to extend my stay due to get food positing and the rains of the typhoon. They always took care of me and checked how I was doing. The place is clean and organised, the view is stunning. You can just seat and spend hours there. One big advantage is you have free drinking water. Not every place has and I think it’s a big positive point. Price is really good too for the accommodation. A few other travellers stop there as well and it is like a small community with many areas to socialise. About food: you can order lunch and dinner with the family and everything is home cooked and good quality. Breakfast can be order too and it’s a basic option of eggs two toast bread and butter. Location is very convenient. Just a few minutes from SaPa town and a bit away from main road so very quiet. The share rooms are traditional Vietnamese house: mattress on the floor with curtains. But mine were all in super good condition. Thank you very much!!

    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 😍

    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.

    We have been travelling for two months and this was our favourite homestay yet. Lysa is so kind and welcoming, and her husband made us amazing food for dinner and breakfast. Her house was lovely, had amazing views and comfy bed. Great place to go if you want to learn more about local culture in Sapa. Thank you Lysa 💕

    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.
