Bảo Lạc - Sunny Homestay

We had a very nice stop over here. Room was clean and very comfortable beds. Very friendly staff. A great little town to explore. (We did get accidentally locked out after 11pm and couldn't contact anyone, make sure to take both keys with you ha ha)

Excellent accueil. Établissement bien tenu. Chambre très propre ,grande et accueillante . Tres bon rapport qualité/prix .

Bed very comfortable and clean. Sunny helpful and so kind 🥰.

We kregen een mooie kamer met uitzicht op de rivier en airco . Een heerlijk bed . Er kwam weinig water uit de kraan en de douche gaf geen warm water. Het vegetarische ontbijt en avondeten welke we bestelden was zeer eenvoudig

Waterdruk en warm water

Great place to stay for the night doing the trip around northern Vietnam. Employees were very kind.

No

L'emplacement central et l'accueil très sympathique et attentionné de la propriétaire.

L'établissement et la chambre sont très basiques.

La dueña, Sunny, es un sol. Muy atenta, hablaba muy bien inglés y te ayuda en lo que haga falta. El alojamiento es muy limpio, espacioso y todo nuevo! El desayuno fue fantástico

La habitación era muy muy ruidosa. Pese a dar al rio, con una bonitas vistas, se oía la carretera, las obras, el calentador, el gallo, el perro... Incluso los demás clientes ducharse en el baño de al lado.

It was clean and comfy. We were back from a difficult ride so that was a great place for us to rest :)

The rooms were awesome and nice. The beds were extremely comfortable. Some of the nicest we've slept on. And, the lady who runs this place is the biggest sweetheart ever.

No

Comfortable and clean room with AC and fan. The lady in charge is very friendly and helpful. A good place to stay in Bao Lac.

I highly recommend this super charming homestay! First of all, the owner, along with her fluffy puppy, is extremely friendly, smiley, welcoming and available anytime, all she cares about is making people feel home. The building is well maintained and perfectly located, there's a nice cafe right in front of the building and a massage center. Is quite and chill, but full of good vibes. Perfect for a one-night stop during the Cao Bang loop. I'll come back for sure in the future, thank you so much for making my stay even more special!! Have a good one!!

Very clean and well kept, extremely comfortable beds in a nice little village. Very helpful staff who are eager to look after you, secure parking for bikes. Highly recommended.

Friendly owner, great location, very comfortable (soft) bed, great river view.

Noisy during heavy rain (on top floor)

The bed was insanely comfortable. It was one of the most comfortable beds we've had in Vietnam. The room was nice and clean, air conditioning was cool, and the host was so friendly and helpful. There was even a clothes steamer and iron and a hair dryer. Plenty of hot water in the shower.

Clean & comfortable room with a decent shower & a couple of good restaurants close by. A convenient stop over when travelling between Ha Giang and Cao Bang.

Laundry service & room rate were more expensive than we are used to in North Vietnam

The owner has been super kind and helpful to find us a night bus going from Ha Giang to Ninh Binh, which was able to carry our motorbikes, she helped as well for my laundry which was ready super fast and advised a super delicious restaurant!!! The rooms were super spacious, well decorated and clean ! We loved our stay af Sunny Homestay!!!! Cam on Chi!

Second time back here. everything was great. 🤗🤗 I like every thing

Great, friendly hosts with excellent food. Very nice stay!

We stayed here whilst on the ha Giang loop, it was absolutely freezing when we did the loop and this place had a nice hot shower, hot blanket and comfy bed which was our saviour. The owner was lovely and locked our bikes for us out the front, gave us good recommendations and was very friendly overall. The drive to bao lac was also super scenic along the river and the town itself was very authentic. If you’re doing the loop and researching places to stay along the way, consider this home stay, it was one of the better ones we stayed at

No problems

Nothings ☺️

We had a great time, clean spacious room with a nice view, comfortable beds and a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub. Staff and owner were super-friendly, helped us when I fell sick and we had to send the rented motorbike back to Cao Bang. Getting well again was easy here.

The beds were superb, super comfortable. Shower was hot and perfect! The room was huge and very clean and the host was wonderful. Speaks great English and makes a great breakfast with local fresh fruits

Very kind and active host. She managed to give us the room we booked (the best one) even if promised to another guest. View on the river. Heating, comfortable bed, large bathroom with a tub where to make shower, but without curtains and the output directly to the floor so it becomes wet anyway. Adequate price.

Just the wet floor in bathroom

Welcome fruits. Helpful staff. Large room. Air conditioning. Soft mattress. Poster showing what to add in Cao Beng.

I use my own bath liquid soap

Surprisingly good value for money. The host wast brilliant. Good modern heater.

Blinds, and floor drain in the bathroom need some cleaning.

Could not fault this place. Very clean, massive room, VERY comfy bed, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Felt like home. The whole town was very welcoming. So nice to be able to wind down here after a long day. Highly recommend.

Location good for restaurant and coffee shops however their opening times are a mystery.

Bathroom supplies lacking

Super nice and really helpful owner. Everything was comfy and perfect for a stop on our motorbike trip.

Hot water and aircon both great (once we understood we needed to switch them on 🤦🏻‍♂️). Good eating and coffee places near by. Highly recommend the massage spa other reviewers have mentioned. Fantastic experience and so relaxing. (Thuy Ngun Spa on googlemaps) We also quite liked the town. We stopped for lunch in Bao Lac in our way back through. Interesting market/street life and the place had a charm to it.

Best place to stay at in town. Clean, comfortable, not bad smells.

Nothing really, the place is great.

Very nice spacious room with kettle and comfortable bed.. Great location close to restaurants and shops and bakery nearby.. Sunny speaks English. Breakfast is provided if you ask, and was good. Nice place.

Nothing.

Friendly staff and safe motorcycle parking out front, centrally located near restaurants. Spacious room overlooking the river and large bathroom. We did not have any meals during out stay.

Rooms could have been cleaner, clean bed and sheets, but dusty corners had not been sufficiently cleaned

The friendliest host EVER with her adorable dog, what a great start. We asked for a quiet room and got a huge room at the top with a massive comfy bed. BEST Mirror in a bathroom so far. May seem trivial but if you want to apply makeup... A+. The location is superb for this little town, quiet but in walking distance to everything, and Bao Lac does seem to have everything you need.

Bathroom is a wet room, never my favourite but not an issue. Don't expect luxury, it's incredible value for what it is... we'll definitely stay here again.

Hot water and AC kept switching off as the hotel has set a timer. Very irritating in the night when it switched off. Location is very crowded

Everything! The view from our room was lovely and everything was sparkling clean and comfortable. Felt like we were in nature with the massive window in front of our bed. Sunny is a fantastic host and made a delicious breakfast. Loved walking around the surrounding town. This is an immersion in Vietnamese life and we loved it. Not for people wanting luxury but we will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny’s so much on our way north we decided to come back on our way back down south! Great location. Friendly host who speaks great English! Clean spacious rooms where I probably got the best sleep of my life the whole 2 weeks of travel.

Close to town centre

Super lovely host Friendly ‘security’ in the form of a lovely little dog! Great central location for walking into the town centre. Comfortable bed and good shower.

Nice place

Nothing

Good rooms , good location , good staff !

it could have been a little cleaner, but in general it was ok.

Very clean, an exceptionally comfortable bed (slept the best I had in quite some time!), and the host was so friendly and accommodating with great recommendations. Location was perfect as well, I could walk to everything I needed.

Very nice, clean, large rooms and it had a great value for the price!

The only thing we had a problem with was that they accidentally made a mistake with our friends room reservation, but they sorted it out quickly.

Great reception staff. Very friendly and helpful.

There were ants everywhere in our room.

Sunny was incredibly friendly, English-proficient, and helpful. She provided food recommendations but also cooked a lovely breakfast herself. The room was spacious and clean. Would gladly stay here again.

Not a complaint at all but be aware that it’s a typical Vietnamese “wet bathroom.” If you shower at night, it will dry by the morning.

Cleanest stay so far in Vietnam. Very nice spacious room and the host spoke English. Good pitstop between Dong Van and Cao Bang.

Only downside is the town, there is not much to do.

Fantastic Sunny is amazing Great showers Great beds

Nothing!

Sunny is great and accommodating. Comfy beds and large rooms. Good shower room.

Great to see Sunny again as we were here 6 months ago.

Amazing value for money. Our garden view room had a lovely picture window. Bed was so comfy. Hosts were super friendly. Walking distance to the town with a nice little bakery and coffee shops near . Would recommend!

Nothing

Our room faced the side of the building and was very comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was clean. The host was very kind and her cooking was delicious, both for dinner and breakfast! It was the most restful stop we had on our motorbike ride in the area and we almost wished we could have stayed an extra night.

Nice owner

Very kind and nice hostess, spoke English well enough. Room was clean and cozy, bed was soft! So we slept very good :)) Recommended!

The bed was comfortable, and it was warmer than expected.

The Doorms are actually at a different location (Traditional Homestay). This is around 1.5 km off the city and more a shed with windows but without window glass.

This is a perfect stop if you are a traveller. The host Sunny is wonderful and makes you feel so welcome. We stayed in the double room with a private bathroom and we were so comfy! We had a fabulous breakfast before we left. We’d highly recommend this fabulous Homestay

The owner was so nice and thoughtful and very welcoming. The rooms were comfortable and located across from some local bars and coffee shops and breakfast on the morning was great. Overall a great stop over for the night before continuing riding.

Location, staff and facilities good. Wouldn’t mind coming back.

Nothing.

The staff and facilities were good. They have a great restaurant next to them.

The address on google and booking.com. It took us 2 hours to find the property but the staff picked us up and we followed them.

The owner were really kind! Good location in Báo Lac, close to coffee shops etc. Comfortable beds!

The room were a bit dirty unfortunately, felt like no one had been there for a while. But you’re probably a bit dirty yourself if you’re coming to Bao Lac on a motorbike tour, so the room was good enough for a night’s rest!

The shower was unfortunately cold however this seems to be a common theme in Vietnam. Other than this our stay was excellent.

One of the nicest homestay/hotels I've stayed in in the North of Vietnam. Big clean modern room, incredibly comfortable, wonderful host. Bao Lac is a charming town to stay in, plenty of good local restaurants and cafes
