At the hostel, all rooms come with a balcony with a mountain view. I had an awesome experience at Pea Hostel 😄 From the moment I arrived, the owner Duc and his wife Linh and the staff were really welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home 😊 The dorm has a lot of space and the beds are nice and comfortable. The common areas had a relaxed vibe, perfect for meeting other travelers! The location of the hostel is a bit out of town but still in walking distance or you can just get a grab (taxi) to Sapa town. What stood out the most was the sense of community and the effort the staff put into making every guest feel included. Also they help you with ideas what to do in Sapa and it's possible to book tours, buses, scooters and more with the hostel 😄 Big recommendation to book that place if you want to have a great stay in Sapa 😋

The trekking tour guided by them is really beautiful and affordable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this homestay. Thank you for the great stay!
