Sapa Hillcrest Homestay was our favorite of the three popular destinations we visited in Vietnam. If you are looking for an authentic, low-key experience with a local family, this is the place to be. The location is not located near a main road so there is walking/hiking involved. Pe, the owner, will assist you with directions and meet you at a nearby main road. The mountain roads can be very steep and difficult to walk for a person with less physical abilities. We are a family of seven (16 years old and older) and had one person that struggled with the walk. However, Pe and his family are happy to pick up you and/or your luggage and get you to the house by motorbikes. They were very accommodating, fed us delicious meals, and welcomed us like family. We loved experiencing daily life in the H'Mong village. Their house is in walking distance to Cat Cat Village, which I would highly recommend visiting. Sapa is also nearby. The walk through rice terraces and clouds was breath-taking. Pe's English-speaking skills are great, so we had no trouble with communication. We loved hanging out with the little kids by the fire and watching them interact with the family. The food was amazing and fresh from their farm. The beds were comfortable and had very warm comforters. This experience was invaluable and our favorite time while traveling through North Vietnam. Thank you, Pe and family! We hope to visit you again!

We absolutely loved staying with Lan and Thuan. It was home away from home in the most beautiful setting with gorgeous views and waterfall on the doorstep. The food was a real highlight of our whole trip to Vietnam. We really enjoyed trekking with Thuan who is an excellent guide. 11/10 recommend - definitely worth the trip!

Wonderful experience at O'Chau home tay. We arrived soaking wet from the rain, and the owner was so kind to welcome us and upgrade our room for free. The view from the room was stunning even in bad weather. The highlight was the family dinner and it was delicious. A truly memorable stay and definitely would like to come back!

Okay, so usually I don’t write reviews, so this one is special, Pe and his family is a MUST stay in Sapa, they’re the closest to a family I had in Vietnam, warm welcome, cozy stay and a lot to learn about them, plus the best Family dinners. I sincerely hope that his homestay will be the most recommended in Sapa because God knows this guys are Great!

Staying with Pe and his lovely family on their farm/homestay was one of the best and most authentic experiences in Vietnam for us. They were very kind and you get to know them and their culture over dinner. The food was good, fresh and there was always plenty for everyone. We stayed 4 nights and loved every second of it. The trekking we did with them was beautiful as well.

Our stay at Sapa Hillcrest Homestay was perfect. Pe Thao and his family welcomed us with open arms in their farm. We could really feel as part of the family. Stay here if you want to live an authentic Vietnamese experience in Sapa. The view is incredible. Pe Thao can help you for anything (taxi, hiking tour …) You can go there by walk is you are a bit sportive 😉 (1h from Sapa). Thanks !

Peaceful surroundings in the middle of the ricefields, away from busy roads. Helpful host couple. Nice with possibilty to have dinner with the family. With the help of google translate communication works fine. When arriving and walking the 200 m from the taxi to the house you will probably be approached by local girls wanting to sell crafts. Wait with buying from them. The hosts mother has a little shop in the homestay. Maybe you want to purchase from them instead.
