We arrived in Sapa quite late, around 8–9 PM. To be honest, I was a little disappointed on the way there because the road was covered in heavy fog and was quite difficult to drive through. I started to worry about our trip and wondered what the next day would be like. However, the next morning, when I opened the door, I was absolutely amazed by what I saw. It felt like opening a mystery box—you never know what’s inside until you open it. The glass doors of our room gave us a breathtaking view of the majestic mountains right in front of us. The scenery was far more beautiful than we could have imagined. During breakfast, I could even see a sea of white clouds stretching across the valley. One of the staff members told me that when the weather is sunny around the homestay while the valley below is covered in fog, like it was that day, you can often catch an incredible sea of clouds. I honestly felt so lucky to have chosen this place. What started as a slightly worrying journey turned into one of the most beautiful experiences of our trip.

We had a wonderful stay at Sapa Sky Garden Homestay. The location is absolutely beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by mountains, greenery, and fresh mountain air. The view from the property is amazing, especially in the morning when you can see the entire Fansipan mountain range. You can also enjoy a breathtaking view of Muong Hoa Valley from the homestay. It was such a peaceful place to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee. The airport and local transfer service was also excellent. Our driver was very friendly, patient, and always willing to take us wherever we wanted to go. He even waited for us while we explored different places, which made our trip much easier and more comfortable. We also joined one of the tours organized by the homestay, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was a local person who was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Sapa. He told us many interesting stories about the local culture, history, and daily life. During the tour, we had the opportunity to experience some traditional activities, such as planting rice, weaving fabric, and learning about the process of dyeing fabric. It felt much more authentic than a typical sightseeing tour.

The hosts were very kind and made sure to help with anything we needed to book, and breakfast was included which was very kind of them! The peace and the nature all around. Fresh air and cool weather, an escape from the bustling and noise of city life.

It’s not right in the centre, but I actually preferred being a little away from the busy tourist areas. The surroundings were peaceful and the place had a really cosy feel. Breakfast was simple but good, and I liked having the option to rent a scooter for 200k per day, especially because of the location. The staff were lovely and always ready to help with anything. And the resident cat was definitely an added bonus! 🐱 I really enjoyed my time here.
