So, where exactly do I start.|I stayed in this homestay for about 2 nights, all on my own, and this family greeted me so warm! It’s so interesting to witness and experience a part of their culture, of their daily life, of hmong people in general! The meals were also delicious, Chu’s wife always prepared an extra vegetarian option for me, which is something I’m really grateful for.|The whole day trekking with Chu was amazing, even though he doesn’t speak a lot of english, he kept trying to explain things to me, which was so very kind! We had beautiful views on our way, and I’ve seen many views, from Ta Van, to Sapa, and honestly, Mu Cang Chai has the most beautiful views! The rice fields were sadly empty, due to the harvest in September, but it was still beautiful and peaceful!|The other day, Yien and his wife An joined me to do the waterbuffalo tour. It’s fair to say that I was scared in the beginning, but they were so friendly and super nice to talk to! Both of them speak very good english, and took many pictures aswell!|Afterwards we cut some grass for the buffalo to eat, and when I cut myself, Yien helped me stop the bleeding with their natural medicine (a purple flower, I forgot the name).|At lunch, An told me a lot about hmong culture, an the general vietnamese culture aswell! I truely appreciate that you all shared a part of your life with me!|I also really hope that Yien and An get to travel a lot more in future, and hopefully visit China and other more developped...
Read moreYes - This is where you want to have the best homestay of your life!
We spent several days here ( 1 day at Indigenous Homestay 1 and then several days here).
Honestly, we miss being here with this beautiful family every single day! The happiness, the smiles, the laughter, the food, and the view - AMAZING!
My husband and I had our 12th wedding here (yes, you read that right!) but this review is for our experience here!
Ying and his family allowed us to become honorary H’mongs during our wedding. What an incredible experience. We learned so much about the way of life of the H’mong, their traditions, and their family. This was honestly one of the best experiences of our life!
We realize not everyone will have a H’mong wedding. So, if you are interested in trekking, cultural activities, spending time with the H’mong people - you will be overjoyed to be here.
The room is comfortable, the view is amazing.
The food is cooked with so much love, and family dinners are so much fun. The wine is delicious!
It is a little difficult to get from the road to the homestay, but no worries at all, the brothers help!
Seriously, these are the experiences that you travel for!
Do not hesitate to come here! You will have the time of your life!

Read moreWe have had an unforgettable experience at this accommodation thanks to Ly Thi Na and her entire family. Thanks to them, we were able to admire one of the most breathtaking landscapes we have ever seen, all from our room. Having breakfast while gazing at the endless rice terraces of Mu Cang Chai is an immensely valuable experience that we will always remember. Beyond the incredible views, we had the opportunity to live alongside a Hmong family, observe their way of life, and walk through villages, admiring the daily life of the locals. The family prepared delicious meals, and during lunch and dinner, we sat together with them to enjoy their wonderful flavors. Afterwards, we would gather around the fire to enjoy its warmth and share time together. The facilities are very well maintained and provide everything you need, the bed was very comfortable! They also offer a motorcycle transport service to and from the accommodation, which is very convenient. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Vietnam. I will never forget these days spent with the family. We would like to thank them for their hospitality, especially Ly Thi Na for always making sure we had everything we needed. We hope to see them again someday. If you want to live an authentic experience, don’t hesitate...
