Eco Hills Homestay

This was the highlight of our two weeks in Vietnam and our favourite stay of the whole trip. We arrived early in the morning off the night train from Hanoi and were welcomed straight away, even though it was hours before check-in. Our suitcases made the last stretch strapped to the back of a scooter, which set the tone perfectly. Our host's cooking was some of the best food we had in Vietnam. Our breakfast choice was bánh mì and Vietnamese drip coffee at a table she set up outside for us, looking straight onto the rice terraces, which were turning gold for the harvest while we were there. On our first evening we sat with her and her two daughters and learned about their life in the village. It felt like being welcomed into a family rather than checking into a room. Tả Van is quiet and green, about 20 minutes from Sa Pa town, so you get real village life with the town close by when you need it. If you want to see how people actually live in the mountains of northern Vietnam, stay here.

Honestly nothing. This stay was perfect!

Very quiet with a great view. The owner organised all the activities I requested including trekking with a local guide, Mimi, who was wonderful. Great homemade food as well!

Staff were lovely and accommodating. But more than anything, the place blew us away and exceeded our expectations. The view, the serenity and also the way the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and the best view of Sapa. We took a chance and booked a random home stay out of town and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

Such an amazing stay. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. The view from the room was amazing and it was perfect location to access all the trekking. Breakfast and dinner were also good and overall great value. Loved our stay would recommend to anyone!!
