Giấc Xưa Homestay Mèo Vạc — Hotel in Hà Giang Province

After seeing the property on Booking, I immediately decided that I must spend a night in Meo Vac just to stay at this guest house.

A very Special and Amazing house, built with the inspiration from the traditional house of Giay ethnic group. We had a tea time at night and the chat with the owner's wife really gave us an insight into life of local people and how the couple started their business. Everything in the house was chosen with great care from the local communities. I love every details of the house, from the scent of star anise when we first entered to the sofa, the bed cover to the lamp inside a bird cage.

Host is accommodating and friendly, also helped us cook the chicken we brought from Meo Vac and brought the utensils for us (there was no kitchen in the house so she had to bring the chicken to her neighbor's house to cook it).

Please note that room will be a bit dark at night and there was no air-con. The first and last rooms have windows so they are brighter during the day than the rooms in the middle. Air-con was not a problem for us as the weather was often cold at night so a fan was sufficient. The whole house has a total of 5 rooms with 2 shared bathrooms and 2 shared toilets with one of each was made from wood and they are exceptionally beautiful and clean.

Don't forget to try the chicken Phở at Hoa Thể food store which is 100m from the Guest house. It was the best pho we had during our 4-day motorbike trip...

If you are ever doing the Ha Giang loop in North eastern Vietnam this guesthouse is a little piece of heaven.|It is wedged between lots of other buildings on the main street in Meo Vac, but once you walk through the front doors you are welcomed by a lovely sitting room and the warmth from the fireplace.|The 4 rooms upstairs are simple but the beds are super comfy. The family have decorated the rooms to give the each room a homely feel. Ask for the room at the back away from the street.|The toilet and shower facilities are downstairs, but they are really clean and functional and exceptionally cute.|There is free wifi.|We stayed here after a long day of trekking and it was definitely a nice place to relax and recover. We would have loved to stay longer. The local family made use...

I think that this living old wooden house is a museum in itself. It was originally well designed, but I don't know what happened, maybe a familial situation, the homestay is no more taken care of. It is messy everywhere. However, for a night it is ok. The price is 300k, and may be bargained in low season when there is not a lot of people. Last advice: the owner doesn't take care of the front of the house anymore, so there are plants growing very long, hiding the plate with the name of the hotel, so we had a hard time finding it. Owner is neither always there. Have...
