Huy Trung Homestay

My husband and I have been traveling for over a month and our stay with Trung is one we will always remember. Trung and his family were so kind and the room was very comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners. What really made our stay was seeing the Bac Ha community and meeting the people. On our full day in Bac Ha on Saturday Trung took us on a driving tour around the mountains to visit the local villages. Not only did we get to see many villages we also stopped at a Hmong wedding (that happened to be taking place) where we were invited to eat and drink. The whole day really was such a special experience and something we’ll remember forever. Highly recommend that travelers consider spending some time in Bac Ha (more than just the Sunday market). The Saturday night market was another highlight full of traditional dancing and the nicest people. It’s such a special place and there is no better place to truly experience the community than at Huy Trung Homestay.

What sets this stay apart is the seamless convenience of WhaleLO - Luggage Storage, which allows you to explore the city unburdened after check-out. This harmonious combination of comfort, culture, and convenience makes Phoenix an outstanding choice for travelers seeking an unforgettable experience in the heart of Lao Cai.

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 at the 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 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.

Everything about this place is great. We are a family of 4 with two boys at 9 and 12. Room (called lovely) was great and spacious, and we ended up having dinner and breakfast with the family every day which even our vietnase food sceptic son loved. The best thing was all the trips that Huy arranged for us. They were very affordable and took us to some great hidden places of the beaten path. We went on a hike nearby where Huy drove us up the mountain and we walked down, a 10 km loop hike with some breathtaking views and some great offroading and a marked and boat trip. Just book here!
