Sapa Dao Homestay and Restaurant.

I really enjoyed the shared moments with the Dao family and the other guests! The homestay has stunning views, rooms are simple but comfortable and the best is the family dinner they cook every night. You really experience Vietnamese food eaten by local people. Many vegetables come from their own garden and the tea is from next door too :)

Being a cook, I enjoyed cooking with them spring rolls, ans some other vegetarian dishes. I also showed then how to cook one of my favorite dessert, flame bananas.

We stayed here for 3 nights and felt like home with face full of smiles as well as great hospitality.

They stayed up late and allowed us to check in the middle of the night. Also accommodates our custom food requests.

It may not be a 5 star hotel but we will remember this stay as a highlight on our Vietnam trip.

Highly recommended ❤

Very nice homestay, comfortable rooms.
The heating mattress is a real comfort if you stay in winter like we did.
Thui and Dao welcomed us in their family. They welcomed us at their table and their hospitality was above and beyond !
Thanks you so much !

A beautiful home away from the bustle of Sa Pa while still close to the city. The view is extraordinary and so is the staff. The free breakfast is great too, and includes choices from Pho to Banh Mi.

Really enjoyed our stay here the family was wonderful always have a smile on their faces and are willing to help with anything you need! They cook great food that we really enjoyed and the rooms are perfect for the location especially the view! We definitely won’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we are in Sapa! Thank you guys you really made our stay that much more enjoyable than we could have expected!

Very friendly hosts that will help you with your stay in Sapa and can arrange things like motorbike and trekking for you. Would definitely recommend we had a lovely stay here. The bed was really nice as well

Dao, Lan, Phuoc and An are a wonderful family! Thanks Dao for welcoming me in your family and being such an attentive host! I had so much fun cooking with them and being part of the family dinner ❤ Thanks to Lan for her advice about the trekk, it was honestly the best day of life. I recommand you to book a trekk thru them, with May, a local guide, it was so fun!

P.S : they have heating blanket and hot water!
P.S. 2 : Food is amazing!

Best Pho Bo I've had so far. Lean beef, lots of fresh herbs. We had slow drip coffee and ginger tea with honey. The view is incredible.

When I think back at my time in Vietnam, Sapa Dao always comes first. I spent weeks looking for the perfect homestay. I wanted an authentic experience and wow I’m so glad I chose Sapa Dao.

Dao goes above and beyond for his guests. He arranged everything for us and went above and beyond in accommodating us. We also decided to cook dinner with his family and we are so glad we did. I learned about Dao and his upbringing and let me say, he truly is such a hardworking man. He is working daily to give his family a better life, in a way it reminded me of my own father and the struggles he went through for a better life.

His children are so amazing and you can see they are the way they are thanks to their dad. They were always taking care of us even when did they didn’t have to. We loved the kids so much and played some card games with the boys. They were so amazing and truly wonderful kids.

On the last day when leaving Dao’s wife came back and said goodbye to us. As we were leaving she gave us a bag with snacks and water for our bus ride. Maybe a small touch but it felt so meaningful to me, it truly felt like an authentic homestay.

Sure, maybe it’s not a five star resort but if you’re looking for a wholesome stay with the sweetest family ever that will go above and beyond for you then this is the place for you. Btw the views and the food are amazing! I highly recommend.

Dao, thank you to you and your family for such a wonderful stay. You made our time in Vietnam so special. We hope to come visit again

Very friendly owner, amazing view and nice ginger tea :) I had some really good sleep.

If you travel to Sapa in November, don’t forget to bring warm clothes, as it’s way colder than Hanoi or other places in the south!

We had lunch on our way to Dragon Cloud Glass bridge tower attraction (that was pretty good too despite not super great weather - it's ok at times, then all of a sudden a bunch of clouds hang around for 10 minutes - but that's for another review)

Competitively priced (compared to the Sapa City), tasty food! Great view to add. Decent toilets. I was here in February 17, 2023. The weather here was good though. The view was great; there was enough sun and was cool at the same time.

This place was recommended by our driver which we chartered for a day. My family was quite happy overall. Would come again.

One of the best places where I have ever stayed! Absolutely gorgeous view 💛

I cannot say enough good things about my stay here. Originally I only booked three nights—but in my first day stay loved it so much that I added two additional nights. Thuy and her family greeted me with the most warm and kind welcome, always making sure I am comfortable during my entire stay and even bringing snacks and drinks to my room in the evening just out of kindness. They made me feel like part of the family, inviting me to dinner and even inviting me to help with preparing some vegetable and play games with their two sons. This was especially meaningful to me as a solo female traveler and at this point traveling away from home for over 6 weeks…I was beginning to feel homesick, but then I come here and I feel at home. Delicious foods from their restaurant. They even brought my motorbike inside at night to keep it safe and would have it nicely parked for me ready for me in the following morning. Plenty of hot water for my showers and Thuy even did my laundry for me. The bed was firm as a typical mattress here in Vietnam, but more comfortable than most. Thuy, her husband and older son all spoke good English which was lucky for me so that I could talk with them and get to know them which was such a joy. And with Thuy’s brother who didn’t speak English, we had great conversation and laughs together with the use of Google Translate app. AND—the view from the room is absolutely breathtaking. Wow. I am a professional photographer and couldn’t help but taking many photos from the view of my room and this entire remarkable place. Waking up to this view and in the warmth of the thoughtfulness and care of this family really felt like a dream that brought me tears of disbelief and happiness to my eyes. I loved the location being outside of the more touristy town of Sapa, quiet and secluded. With my motorbike only took about 10-15 minutes driving to get to town. An easy drive. This stay is not a luxury place in the typical meaning of being very fancy…but rather, is the most incredible luxury in a sense of thoughtfulness + warmth + love + care that is much more meaningful and rare to find. I will always recommend this stay to anyone visiting in Sapa. Thank you to Thuy and her family, I will carry you in my heart. ♥

Great, gracious hosts, great view, cozy bed. Literally no downsides. It's modest, but some things are worth more than luxuries. Mr. and Mrs Dao put their hearts in accomodating their guests and you feel it with every interaction. They offer fine dinners as well, since they run a restaurant. I wished I booked more than 4 days. I could stay there whole week or longer.

The warmest and most kind family. This stay was truly special.
They already prepared the room for me even though I arrived too early for check-in due to the night train, I had dinner and played games with the family, they took me to the centre of Sapa because there was an event and they arranged everything for my next bus ride (and actually brought me to the bus stop themselves on the motorcycle)!

Thank you for everything ❤

This place is absolutely fantastic. The family is super chill and extremely helpful. I rolled in from a late bus arrival and they made me some food. Every morning they made me coffee and anything I wanted to eat. The space was clean, had everything i needed, privacy, and the view from my window literally made my entire trip. They also helped me book my bus back to Hanoi and let me chill in my room late for no extra charge until I had to leave. An amazing deal! Recommend 100%.

We stayed at the the Dao homestay for 3 nights and had the best time ever!
Our room had an excellent view, was very clean and equipped with all the items we needed. The homestay has also a scooter rental which we used for a great price on 2 days.
On all the 3 nights we ate dinner with the family and it was very very delicious!
The best part: you stay with a family and they are awesome. Everybody is super friendly and helpful, the two boys are so nice and play with you and they even have two baby cats and a dog. Also the owners gave us great tips what to do in the surrounding area and made us feel like at home.
We can recommend this place to everybody who is looking for a real vietnamese experience. Thank you for the great time and we will definitely come back! 😊

I had such a lovely experience in Dao’s homestay. Himself and his family are so warm and welcoming. The food was so tasty and the room I stayed in was comfortable and clean. It’s located in such a beautiful place, the view from the bedrooms is nothing other than magical. ❤

The best place to stay. With the beautiful view alone it was worth every penny cent. With the homestay family, Mr Dao made us feel like family and welcomed us with he and his family ready to help us with everything from tours of sapa and taxis around. Best time ever!!!

What an amazing place.
Got to Sapa and didn't book anything in advance so we had to make a quick decision.
Nailed it!! The hosts are just awesome, we felt at home from the very first minute we entered the guesthouse.
The guesthouse lies on the westside of Sapa and is only 15 min from the city centre.
Fansipan mountain is only a 5 min drive from the homestay.
I have been living in Vietnam for about two years and have to say that Thuy's food is one of the best I had so far. She's an amazing chef.
This is a homestay not a hotel!!
If you are after luxury go somewhere else.
If you want to get to know the people and experience the life of locals you are at the right spot.
The rooms have a beautiful view of the mountains and are equiped with a heating mattress which you'll love as it can get quite cold during the night.
Loved our stay here and will definitely come back.
