Best hotels & accommodations in Bac Ha (Lao Cai)
We could not fault the hotel or staff in any way. Everyone was so very friendly, smily and helpful. We were given terrific advice about walks around the town and prices we could expect to pay. For example, we were told that beers would be 15-25,000 dong (depending on size and brand). This was reassuring to us, so that we didn't feel we were being over-charged anywhere....
Caution: the thing the owners call „a room“ is in fact a dorm shelter with curtains. We didn‘t get the room we booked - in the booking confirmation there has been obviously doubleroom, we got a matrace in a dorm for the same price instead! Wtf! The dorm has a 20 cm gap between the walls and the roof + no heating anywhere = a very freezing place.
its a new place. The bed is softer then many other places have. the staff/family is very very welcoming. The location is 1 km away from the market so you can easily walk there. if you stay there. Join them on the familydinner. A lot of delicious food is served. Shower is good. I can recommend this place. One of the better I've been too.
This was most definitely our favourite stay in Vietnam. The host is spectacular and the accommodation was top notch! Huy Trung & his family were so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure our stay was the best! We enjoyed very much the motorbike ride up the mountain and the huge hike up and around the mountains to experience amazing vistas and meet the Hm...
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cong Fu Hotel! The rooms are huge and clean wirh a fantastic view over the market!! The family who owns the hotel is extremely friendly, it was a pleasure to spend time with them!! The food is the best we had in whole Vietnam in 4 weeks!! One morning I asked for noodle soup and because they did not have the vegetables, the owner's mom ...
I have no choice to select a better hotel
Such a great experience. I highly recommend this place. I stayed 4 nights as solo female traveller. Was warmly welcomed, fed better then I have been for a long time and had a overall fantastic experience. Can't rate high enough. Get there: Took the train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (approx $40), took bus from Lao Cai to Bac Ha ($3), then I called the number on the booking a...
New hotel. Big room but no one cleaned it or emptied bins We had to ask for fresh towels. They still wash everything by hand. As everything is new, that's not yet a problem. ... It's a bit of a walk into town but the surroundings are quieter. Little to no English but pleasant enough staff.
The Cho home is a special place, that will stand out in your memories. Mr. Cho arranged a good car and skilled driver from Lao Cai train station to his home and back. The home, guest rooms, patios and balconies overlook a mountain stream with resident ducks. You are welcome to walk the surrounding paths to farms and rice terraces. He accompanied us through several vil...
This was possibly the best (and most authentic) homestay we've had in Vietnam. Very comfortable rooms with a nice social area downstairs. Dinner was a real treat and is something different every night! The owner is so sweet and would do anything to make our stay comfortable. Her son and the two friendly dogs are very good fun too! Recommending this to all my friends co...
Careful if you book saturday night: you'll be woken up by the market and it's live animals at 5 am!

Traveler impressions of Bac Ha (Lao Cai)
We are very pleased that we chose Bac Ha over Sapa. Our visit was timed to coincide with Bac Ha market on Sunday, which was a fabulous experience and a real eye-opener.
There is not much happening in the town itself, other than on sundays when the market is on and the town comes to life.
The local Sunday Bac Ha markeyt is a friendly, colourful and enjoyable experience. Note that there is limited transport available during Tet (end Feb), but a destination with lots to offer.
