    Just under a mile to the market.

    Nice quiet location, good home-cooking, house is nicely appointed, host is very pleasant and speaks good english. Our ground floor room was spacious and cool. Close to the king’s palace (currently being renovated).

    Trung and his family were great hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and especially talking with Trung about the local area. He also helped us with making the most of our visit. His mom was particularly sweet and caring. We were in the family room, which was beautifully done and super accommodating (two full bathrooms!).

    The house is on the edge of Bac Ha, only a 10 minute stroll from the market place, but next to small farms. A relaxing and peaceful place. My room was excellent, really comfortable, containing everything I might need. Trung is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He gave me a route to ride his motorbike through the hills, arranged onward bus travel and provided delicious meals. I had a busy couple of weeks of holidays, three nights in Bac Ha was a perfect way to slow down and enjoy local life.

    There are many dogs in the neighborhood and they bark a lot. But no worries, they don't bite.

    Large room and very comfortable bed. The homestay is closed to a circle trek where you can see beautiful mountains and farms. Huy Trung helped me book the early bus to Hanoi, which is not shown on website. He kindly sent me to the bus station as well.

    It was up a hill from town, but that is only because I am not very fit!!! It’s not that hard really. I did it several times!

    We stayed one night while passing through Bac Ha. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Trung was very kind and helpful. He showed us where to get an oil change for our bikes. We would certainly have stayed another day and night and explored the area with Trung but we didn’t have time unfortunately. Gucci the dog was a real bonus too!

    We ended up staying two nights at Mr Trung's family home. He helped us with the travel from Hanoi to Bac Ha. The rooms are good and clean, and there is a small swimming pool where you can relax. We can have breakfast and dinner with his family, which is very confortable and the food is very good. We had the chance to have a day tour with Mr Trung and if you are searching for a quiet place with great landscapes, this is for you. We just wanted some peace and it was perfect. He also prepared a picnic by the river, it was only us and the water flowing. If you need a break, but still enjoying Vietnamese life, we think this is a good place for it.

    What an amazing stay with Trung and his family! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the family dinner in the evening was amazing :) Trung makes sure you get everything you need. I booked a one-day trekking through Trung and had great day with my guide Tao. She's an amazing person who really knows the hidden paths and can tell you a great deal about the ethnic minorities and culture of Bac Ha.

    Trung (pronounced Chung), the owner, was super nice, and very helpful. We joined his family for a 'family dinner experience' - highly recommended.. The rooms are nice and clean, and there's a nice (shallow) pool that is nice for cooling down a bit in the summer. Trung's recommendations on a motorbike circuit were just awesome! Its much better to get to the Bac Ha market early, so don't think twice!

    Beautiful and very spacious room (the family room) with a small pool in front. Mr Trung is a very kind, creative and hospitable host. He also hosted a very interesting day tour to some hill tribe minorities in the Bac Ha region. Tourism in this region is not so developed, so it was a relief to downtown Sapa.

    My 2 night stay at Huy Trung Homestay was wonderful. I arrived in Lao Cai via overnight train and then transferred to bus to Bac Ha. It was market day (Sunday) in Bac Ha - a great place to people watch and marvel atthe local produce and goods for sale (everything from plums which were in season to puppy dogs and pots and pans). In the afternoon, my host took me on a half day tour of the valley via motorbike. The scenery was stunning with corn crops and rice fields on sloped terraces. We hiked part of the way back to town. The second day, we headed out for a full day tour of the area. It was incredible to not just see the beauty of the mountains, but to see the people in their homes and their fields and to learn more about the tribal people in North Vietnam and their way of life. Incredible! The accommodations were comfortable and clean with excellent bathroom facilities. Meals with the host and his family were excellent!!

    This must be the best homestay in Bac Ha! Rooms are comfortable and spotless. Mr Huy and his family created a wonderful and peaceful spot and help you with everything you might need. They will come fetch you in Ha Noi, drop you off at the airport, arrange guided walks and visits to nearby markets and villages. Every morning they serve a great breakfast and in the evening we all sit down together for a wonderful meal! This place is the best!
