Nice and relaxing stay out of the city!
Pros:

It is very clean and relaxing. The area is walkable to restaurants and cafes. There’s a great free breakfast option and the staff are lovely. Views are very pretty and you can rent scooters.

Cons:

The pool was pretty chilly, unfortunately there was a lot of construction right on the river (not the hotel fault). We booked as a big group and unfortunately the hotel is split into 2 sections with one being further away and having to climb over barbed wire where many pants were ripped.
Tiles in the room and bathroom were so slippery so some floor mats would be great :)

Great stay in Ta Van
Pros:

We booked it for 5 days and really enjoyed our stay! The property has 2 territories, originally we booked a new bungalow on the new property but we preferred the older one by the river, which was not brand new, but had a bit more charm)
Mou - the receptionist is very kind and helpful!

Cons:

I would recommend to make a buffet for breakfast)
There is an ongoing construction of the road across the bridge, it didn’t bother us in the further territory, but friend who stayed in the new one heard it sometimes!

Wish we could have stayed longer
Pros:

The bungalow we stayed in was so cute and clean with great views. Alll the staff were very friendly and the main reception lady May, had good English and was eager to help out in any way. Delicious breakfast. Although it was a little bit temoved from the main Sapa town, this is what made it so great. Really interesting to just walk about the village.

Cons:

Not really a bad thing, but we didn't notice the little rubbish bin was outside on the porch until we were checking out 😅

Pros:

Amazing stay! Would absolutely recommend. You are hidden away from the business of Sapa town and are surrounded by beautiful views. You also have lots of restaurants and cafes in the area.

Lovely Homestay amazing staff
Pros:

Lovely, friendly staff who went above and beyond,they kindly helped my husband when he was unwell and even arranged medicine for him, which we really appreciated. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable.
We asked for more pillows and towels and the lovely lady drove to the Homestay specifically for us to deliver them so kind.
The nearby villages are to be discovered there were so many lovely cafes and restaurant.

Cons:

However, there was so much noise (it goes on overnight and early morning no stop basically) due to building site right next to it which the lady apologies for but nothing they can do outside their control. Also some cleanliness issues, including stained bed sheets and occasional ants in the room and on the bed, as well as one cockroach. While the setting among rice fields is beautiful, a bit more attention to housekeeping would make the stay much more enjoyable.

A must stay !!!!
Pros:

The property offers beautiful surroundings next to the river. You can easily do your own trekking tour down the river through the villages. There are a lot of options for food & coffee too. The property is very clean and the cocktails are nice too!

OK
Pros:

Staff were nice, helpful and smiley. Breakfast was good, but somewhat inconsistent. Good location if you are here for trekking.

Cons:

We stayed in the older section, which has no lighting along the path at night. One evening at 21:50, all lights, including the restaurant, were already off, and we were barked at by the property’s dogs when going to collect food delivery.
There was also ongoing construction, which isn’t properties fault, but guests should be warned in advance when making the booking.
Around the property, there were many random items left out, such as pool cleaning equipment, the pool itself was dirty most days, and several chairs were broken and clearly needed replacing. Overall, the place has seen better days, and the photos appear to have been taken when it first opened.

Nice rooms with comfy bed, loud drilling out front, staff is hard to reach, stench in main building.
Pros:

The rooms were very beautiful and the beds were extremely comfortable.

Cons:

We were not informed ahead of time that there was going to be a very loud construction site right in front of the stay that would be working through the night making drilling sounds and shaking the floor. There was no staff present nearly at any point. The water in one of the rooms was cold and there was a stench in the main building on the way to one of the rooms. At the end of our stay they could not create an itemised receipt of invoice of any kind.

Pros:

Le personnel au petit soin. L'hébergement est bien entretenu et soigné. Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables.

Cons:

Le rapport qualité prix du restaurant. Nous avons trouvé la nourriture un peu chère au regard de la qualité.
Nous avons trouvé le logement trop en retrait des activités de Sapa.
