Gio and Pang Chau, who are running this place together, are very friendly and helpful hosts. They both speak well english and we had very nice chats with them not only on practical matters. The house is newly built, it feels cosy, peaceful and has amazing view of the fields and mountains on the other side of the valley.

It felt like a very authentic Vietnamese experience to stay at Happy Happy bungalow. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. We were served vegetarian lunch and dinner as requested and everything was delicious. We also did the motorbike tour with them and it was one of the best experiences in Vietnam. We got to explore rice fields, local farms and neighbouring mountains. I’ll definitely recommend doing the tour with them if you’re staying here. They also have a puppy and a cat and they just enhance the entire experience ten-fold. It really was a happy happy stay for us.

From Check in to Check out we had a wonderful experience. The family that hosted us was super kind and friendly. They always wanted to make sure if we needed anything extra, or if they can do anything to make our stay even better. The rooms are really nice, big and clean, and we had our own en-suite bathroom, which was great. Dinner was lovely, we joined in on a family dinner, and it was a brilliant local experience with very tasty food (I can recommend it to everyone - ask for a family dinner) . Breakfast was really nice. The owner asked us every night what time would we like breakfast in the morning, and when we woke up breakfast would be ready on time. Her pancakes are delicious too. Very very good service, and I can 100% recommend this to anyone passing by the wonderful little village.

A real family atmosphere with kids playing around and cute animals (especially the dogs). The owners are super friendly and helpful with planning hikes. Dinner is (if you want) with the whole family and super delicious. Also the breakfast is absolutely recommended. Location is quite remote but scenic in the hills with great views (even on fransipan).

Our stay was such a great experience. Being with our local H’mong hosts was a great cultural experience, and we are grateful to them for serving such large traditional meals and educating us on their history and language. The homestay is located in the mountain valley and we enjoyed walks up and along the peaks of the mountains that surrounded jt. We would return to this beautiful location without a doubt.

Everything! The location was amazing. Peaceful, in the middle of the ricefields in a very interesting local village. The owners, Emma and Pepsi, were so sweet, professional and truly inspiring. They always made sure you felt at home. It has a very cute pool with the perfect temperature. The pool is very clean. The views from the homestay are amazing. The rooms are taken very well care of. They are beautiful and the communal spaces are very big, and as well, beautiful. They have a very cute dog, MuiMui.
