What guests say

Guests come for the view and the hosts - rooms and balconies looking straight out over the Lao Chai rice terraces, a family who are described as kind and helpful, and a quiet that is hard to find in Sapa town. Rooms are clean and well designed. The restaurant food is called basic, mattresses are firm, and there are steep stairs to some rooms.
