Sapa Garden Bed and Breakfast

We loved our stay at Sapa Garden Bed and Breakfast. It felt like a more upscale homestay than a hotel. The grounds were beautiful and the owner’s wife cooks amazing food for you upon request. It was very quiet there and I felt it was a retreat from being busy in Sapa town! The owner and his wife don’t speak any English, but their son Nam is there in the evening and can organize anything. He also responds to emails promptly. We hailed our own cabs using the grab app, which made getting on and off the property easy since we couldn’t communicate with the owners to get us a taxi. I recommend having your phone unlocked and getting a cheap cell service from viettel during your stay for purposes like this.

Although we enjoyed our stay, I would have appreciated standard toiletries in the room like shampoo/conditioner/body wash. We only found a small wrapped bar of soap. We typically stay in 4 star hotels, and although everything else was 4 star, I felt we should receive those same amenities since this is a nicer place to stay. Also, WiFi password being posted in the room would have been helpful. I just asked for it and then it was provided. Lastly, we chose this bed and breakfast because it was outside of the main part of Sapa town. It was my misunderstanding, but I thought it would be in the country rather than still feeling a little bit in town. Once you are on their property it is very secluded however. Those are minor details that didn’t hinder our experience. Other than that, our stay was perfect! I highly recommend it.
