B&B in Son La Province

"A very special place.Exceeded expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. Getting there is a pain but once there magical. Left to spend more time in SaPa. Should have done the reverse. The weekday restaurant hostess was a special person. Competant engaging fluentand delightful."

"The good: The villas are beautiful. Very comfortable. The bad: 1) Like many resorts, Natalie's is a taxi ride away from any services. Unlike many resorts in this situation, it doesn't offer food options outside of breakfast and dinner. We arrived at 1pm and asked to have lunch at the restaurant. We were told that wasn't possible. 2) We were looking forward to a nice relaxing swim in the pool after lunch, but when we returned the pool was packed with loud kids. Fair enough we thought, they've paid to stay here too. But it turns out the resort sells day passes for the pool. We paid 3mill per night to stay, pool passes are 30k per child. It ruined the chill vibe we were expecting, and makes using the pool in those hours pretty uninviting. The same thing happened both afternoons we were there. 3) Despite accomdation being mainly two person villas, most dishes on the restaurant menu are for a minimum of four people. Strange. 4) No card payment option is a bit of a red flag for a place this expensive. If the place was less expensive, I would have way less of an issue with all of these. But if you're deciding to be a 3mill per night upscale resort, you've got to commit to it. Overall a very disappointing stay for the price."

"We enjoyed a three night stay at Mai Chau lodge. As the lodge was quiet being mid-week, we were given an upgrade which was a nice surprise. Our room was spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and lake. The local food offered in the restaurant was lovely. As options in the town were a bit limited we ate there every night. Location was excellent for visits to the outlying villages- all in an easy walk or cycle. Best of all were Ninh and her staff. Always friendly and eager to help and offer advice. "

"Love this hotel. Great location, beautiful hotel, great service and friendly staffs.. good breakfast selection but dinner there is not much to choose from the menu. "

"Nhân viên lễ tân nhiệt tình, vui vẻ. Nhân vien lễ tan kim tài xế huong dan viên tên Trung rất nhiệt tinh, dễ thuong va chỉ dẫn giúp đỡ toi trong chuyến du lịch này rất tốt! Tôi hài long ve cach phục vụ, nhân viên vui vẻ. Riêng về room 624 thì may lanh ko hoat đong, làm tôi thấy nóng nực và ngủ ko ngon giac. Khách sạn nên xem lại hệ thong lạnh và suởi riêng biệt từng fong để ko ảnh hưởng khách lưu trú!"

"It was a lovejoy experience staying at Eco Garden Hotel. The service, the food and the room was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay there."
