This felt like a genuine home stay. We were welcomed into the property and ate delicious food with the hosts (the best food that we ate in the north of Vietnam!). The views of the lake are beautiful and the is a deep sense of peace, calm and proximity to nature. Brilliant experience and worth the short detour if you are travelling Hanoi to Ha Giang.

It was all great, but it is close to nature so expect a few bugs and friendly dogs and cats.
