The nature in Sapa is wonderful. However, we were followed by Sellers through the almost whole trekking. The tour guide was not helping with the situation and couldn’t explain the geography enough. The bus from Hanoi to Sapa was really uncomfortable, dirty and full. There was no air inside and took almost 8 hours. The Trekking itself was super muddy in the first day. We’ve sinked in the mud for hours and it was kinda dangerous to slip down the hills. An alternative could have been proposed. The organization could provide some boots for the tourists as an example. The meals were good, they offer vegan options as well but no water is included. The homestay was also good except very cold rooms.
Dear Daniel, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful nature of Sapa, but we’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your experience didn’t meet expectations. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the sellers during the trek and the discomfort of the bus ride, and we will work to improve these areas to ensure future guests have a more comfortable experience. We also appreciate your suggestion about providing boots for the trek, and we will look into this for future tours to help guests navigate the muddy trails more safely. Regarding the cold rooms, we will review the accommodations and see how we can make them more comfortable. We do value your input, as it helps us improve, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience next time. Fantasea Trek Team
The good: Sa Pa and the surrounding villages are beautiful. Quiet place to get out of the bustling city and enjoy the mountains and rice terraces. Our homestay hosts were kind and hospitable, providing delicious food after a solid day of trekking. We learned so much about the way of life of the different tribes in the area. Bring or rent rainboots -- it's VERY muddy! The bad: Transportation to/from Sa Pa was completely disorganized. I was told by one person from the tour company to meet the bus outside my hotel lobby, then another to meet at the tour office. I arrived at the office at 6am and the person there had no idea a bus was coming. On the way back to Hanoi, it was also unclear which bus we should get on and there was no list of stops on our tickets.

I stayed 3 days at the Sapa Fantasea Homestay, a small recently renovated guest house of about 16 beds that charges soft prices. Warm and authentic Welcoming. Breakfast included in the price of the night. Optional dinner shared with family and other travelers. Rural, quiet and idyllic environment 15 minutes from the town of Sapa. The host is Hmong and speaks both English and French.
