What can I say….Mama Si welcomed my brother and I so warmly, even though we arrived late. She is still learning English and put in all the effort for us to learn everything about the region and the tribe. She welcomed us at her table and we got to share a lovely meal with her family. The next day, she introduced us to her culture even more, made sure we could try the traditional baths and even took us there. I wish we could have stayed longer. She is a very warm and funny person and it was a pleasure to stay there and get to know her! :)) <3

Absolutely nothing

L’accueil de la famille le repas et l’établissement

…

They lost their old booking.com page, but they have been here for a long time, so don’t be deterred by the low numbers of reviews! I originally booked one night here, but ended up staying four! The family welcomed me in with a level of hospitality that I have not experienced anywhere else. I talked to Ma Si about her life and shared dinners with the family. They let me into their home with such grace and kindness, that I only wish I could have stayed longer. And of course, how could I not mention Ma Si’s grandson, who is the cutest (and most energetic) 2-year-old in Vietnam. If you’re looking for something that feels like a real homestay, then definitely come here! The village of Ta Phin is beautiful, lush green, and feels a world away from Sapa, so quiet and peaceful. I loved sitting on the second floor dining area and just watching village life go by. I even stumbled into a Hmong wedding and was invited in! This is where the real Sapa is!
