Country Houses in Ha Giang

I was welcomed warmly by Bick and her family, and everything about this homestay exceeded my expectations. The setting is idyllic, situated low on the mountainside and just a five-minute walk to the river in the valley, where you can swim in (small) waterfall pools, which I did each day I was there. Views from the bedrooms and dining area are excellent. The food is delicious. Bick is an engaging host, who is eager to show her guests around. She swam in the river with me and invited me to pick tea leaves one morning with her and her mother. Later that evening, we roasted the tea leaves together. She knows a lot about the tea-making process, and also offers trekking tours of the area which I did not partake in but would like to try in the future. I've stayed at more than a dozen homestays in northern Vietnam, and have had several good experiences. This was among the best. Not that it's necessary, but it's also worth mentioning that Bick can communicate fairly well in English and is eager to practice with guess and improve her English-speaking skills. I will surely return to Bick's Homestay the next time I visit Vietnam. I booked for one night and extended my stay. I would've loved to stay for even longer. Thank you for your warmth and generosity in sharing your home and customs with me, Bick. Until we meet again, I wish you all the best!

Wonderful stay with Hiem and her family! They built their bamboo house in a quiet place just outside Ha Giang and the rooms are cozy and clean with a beautiful view. We had the best dinners there with the whole family, excellent homemade Vietnamese food (a lot of local liquor aka "happy water") and a great time sharing experiences :) We really hope to come back soon!
