⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great place! 👍 Definite recommendation for everyone with motorbikes! (But make sure to call them, before you go there.)
The area it self is very much off the beaten path. It is a very lovely, little village with literally no other tourist but with everything you need: Some restaurants, some supermarkets, two gas stations and some of the best and freshest tofu we ever tried! 😀
The nearby nature reserve gave us some of the most authentic experiences of nature and landscape we had in our whole time in Viet Nam. Great pine forests, scattered on some sweet hills you can hike up (if you want to get regarded with amazing views), rainforest and desert - everything in one place! With Google Maps, its satellite-view option and especially the help and advise of the owners of this homestay, we managed to do a nice, 15km long circular tour through diverse sceneries.
The homestay is kept by a gorgeous family! ☺️ They can speak very good English (a lot better than we do 😆), so it was easy to have many conversations with them. We learned a lot about Viet Nam and its culture. They showed us around the valley, explained us what kinds of different fruits and vegetables they grow in their huge garden and they even own a coffee plantation! We tried our best, helping them with sorting the coffee-beans and were allowed to try their delicious three different types of finished ice-coffees. 😋
The building itself is designed like the traditional stilt houses in the very north of the country. Thats because the family has its origins in the province of Ha Giang. You will barely find any other house like this in the south of Viet Nam. They have private rooms as well as a dormitory, good sanitary facilities (hot showers! 😁) and also probably the best food we ever ate! 🤤
If all of that is not enough yet, I am sure, the fishpond, their dogs and the hammocks will make your time there perfect!
Instead of one night, we ended up staying three. Watch out, this could definitely happen to you as well! 😜😊
