From the moment we arrived, she treated us with incredible warmth and kindness, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing treks she took us on, where we explored breathtaking natural landscapes that we would never have found on our own. The food she prepared was absolutely delicious, homemade and full of local flavor, making every meal a delight. On top of that, Mama Lili went out of her way to help me organize my return bus, which made my travel plans so much smoother. I couldn’t recommend this experience more. If you’re looking for genuine hospitality, great adventures, and incredible food, this is the place to stay!

Sa Pa es una región montañosa del norte de Vietnam llena de campos de arroz y gente amable que vive de la agricultura principalmente, pero también en los últimos años se gana la vida acogiendo a turistas en su casa para hacerlos sentir parte de la familia. Mama Lili es una de esas personas. Tuve la suerte de compartir con ella un par de días y la verdad es que solo puedo decir cosas buenas. ¡Esa mujer es puro amor!

Si volviese a Sa Pa volvería mil veces más a donde Mama Lili, pasamos dos días enteros con ella y una noche, Mama Lili fue super atenta y nos enseño toda la zona, hicimos treking los dos días visitando los pueblos de alrededor y los arrozales. Alojamiento y comida incluidos, Mama Lili te viene a buscar al pueblo en Sa Pa. Las comidas muy ricas. Mama Lili es super amable, con un corazón enorme y cariñosa. Mama Lili sabe hablar perfectamente inglés pero si contactáis con ella por favor mandarle un audio por WhatsApp, es mucho más sencillo para ella.

My husband and I stayed for two nights at this fantastic homestay and I 100% would recommend! Mama Lili and her family were so kind and caring. I was suffering from a migraine and did every thing they could to make me feel better. The bungalows were clean and cozy. The beds were firm but comfortable. The veiw out the front door was breath taking. The shower was warm! Lots of cute animals, ducks, chickens, cats and a tiny dog! They served a variety of meals and they were all fantastic! Lots of fresh veggies, rice and meat on the menu. They offer day trekking trips as well, sadly because of my migraine we were unable to do this activity. If you are looking for a guide Mama lili and her family are great company! The price was more then affordable! We woukd love to come back again! The only thing to note is it is difficult to get to and from town. Even though the homestay is only 5km from town the journey will take you over an hour due to the road conditions. Our hosts organized a cab for us the day we were leaving but we were on the cabs timeline. If you are on a specific travel timeline to make buses or flights ensure you give your self enough time to get back.
