Reviewed Sep 16, 2025It's a very basic stay, but I think the focus is more on the adventures they offer. I did the 1 day trekking with a great guide (he was able to speak english pretty well). I had an absolutely amazing time! If you're looking for a luxury hotel or homestay experience, this one might not be for you. If you're looking for some GREAT OUTDOOR ADVENTURES around Mu Chang Chai, I say absolutely! It's very conveniently located, with everything you need within very easy walking distance, restaurants, Cafés (especially VUA XỨ MÙ Cafe), bus stop, even a pretty large mart (Long Anh mart) that I found pretty useful. There's also a large covered balcony area with a pretty nice view that I enjoyed, especially during the heavy rain.
The receptionist was our best man. Really friendly and helpful. He helped us a lot to plan our stay in Mu Cang Chai.
The shower was really basic and the bed was a bit hard. But these are just small things.
I stayed here one night just stopping by with my motorbike. It’s right on the Main Street. The staff was very kind and helpful. I stayed in the dorm. The bed was great, curtains and good fan. I felt safe here as well. They offer filtered water & the facilities were very nice & clean. I would stay here again.
No aircon in the dorm. This wasn’t a negative for me I just wanted to include it. I felt more than comfortable with the fan 🥰

Reviewed Apr 30, 2025The hostel is right in the centre of Mu Cang Chai. The dorm room was very spacious and had a balcony. The beds were very comfortable.
I wished they advertised and sold their tours better. When I asked about the motorcycle tour, he just told me the price. The trekking tour also depended on how many people were there. I eventually found someone else in town to take me on a motorbike tour.
You should make a poster of an itinerary of the tours.

Reviewed Feb 18, 2025I had 1 day trek with Trekking Mu Cang Chai team, Cao the amazing guide and gave me all the useful informations around the area. We walked on the small trails completely deserted and no tourists, everything was wild and simple with smiles and welcoming waves from Hmong people in the villages. I have been to Sa Pa and everything was completely broken with the crowds of tourists everywhere, high recommend trekking in Mu Cang Chai with these amazing guides.

Reviewed Oct 16, 2024When i saw the beautiful pictures of the rice terraces in Mu Cang Chai on Instagram i thought that one day i would stand in the middle of this beautiful field and it came true thanks to the help and great trip arrangement of the trekking tour mu cang chai team. The location of the accommodation is right in the center and just a few steps from the bus stop, very convenient. Although the accommodation is very basic they had everything i needed, i appreciated their suggestions for a trekking tour and motorbike tour to see the most beautiful spots around. They are local guide, therefore they are very knowledgeable, i got to experiences the work of the farmers on the rice terraces and knew how hard they work to have rice to eat every day. This was definitely my best trip in Vietnam, i highly recommend you to use their services, it helps a lot to the income of the local people here.

Reviewed Oct 11, 2024This location right at the bus stop of all the buses through Mu Cang Chai so it is extremely convenient, get off the bus and a head to the door. Most of the staff speak good English so they will provide you with useful informations. I choosing a trekking tour with a great guide is Linh to visit the bamboo forest and the traditional house of the Hmong people, heard a lot about their life. On the second day I rented a scooter to drive myself visit some great places a little further away. This was one of the best trips I had in Vietnam, with the prices 5usd/night only can not request any more.
H
ighly recommend Mu Cang Chai and the service staff here.
very attentive host. location great and motorcycle rental with alright helmets. Free filtered Water. Soap and Hairshampoo was provided. Good Fan.
Unfortunately the bathroom (shower) was not the cleanest, bedroom was a bit moldy but that is due to the weather conditions. Generally basic conditions. 1 Bathroom shared with dorm on first floor. Rental of motorcycles a bit higher than others but helmets were nicer. For that same price we had nicer places in VN.

Reviewed Sep 10, 2024Although there was a bit of a language barier, our host was very welcoming. You can book tours, rent a motorcicle at the hostel. Drinkable water available. Great location.
The beds were not very comfortable, but for a few nights it is not that big of a deal.

Reviewed Sep 4, 2024The hotel is basic but excellent both in terms of location (a few meters from the bus stop) and the services it offers: I booked a motorbike tour from dawn to dusk through the rice fields and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I had in Vietnam. The added value was the guide Cau, extremely kind, with an excellent knowledge of the places and with excellent English. If you do the motorbike tour, absolutely ask to have Cau as a guide.

Reviewed Jul 30, 2024The staff there are wonderful, they tried to do everything, provide as much informations as possible to make the best experience for guests. The accommodation is right at the bus stop so it is extremely convenient for traveling as well as eating.
Despite the bad weather, I still booked myself a hiking trip with a guide named Ky. He is a great guide with clearly understanding of the area, Ky took me to beautiful spots, it was paradise that I had never seen. I appreciate the way they did everything to help me have the best experience.
The receptionist also helped me book a bus ticket back to Hanoi.
Really recommend
With the prices you paid for a place to sleep like that, there's nothing to complain about.

Reviewed Jul 15, 2024This is a small accommodation located right in the center of Mu Cang Chai town so it is very convenient.
The bus dropped me off right at the hostel gate.
With such a cost, you cannot ask for a better accommodation than this location.
I had a scooter ready to go exploring all day. Otherwise, you can also choose a trekking tour with a local guide so you can learn more about everything in Mu Cang Chai
No, everything were perfect.
