"Notre rêve était de parcourir Mu Cang Chai durant 6 jours. Mr Ky, le patron du homestay, l'a organisé pour nous. Tout était parfait. Soeur Ha, une excellente guide, connaissait parfaitement le terrain, toujours d'humeur joyeuse et enthousiaste, était au petit soin pour nous. Que vouloir de plus ! Bien que ce n'était plus la saison du riz, le beauté du paysage et les rizières en friches était majestueux !"

"スタッフは英語を使わないためコミュニケーションにGoogle翻訳が必須ですが、宿泊者の希望に応えようという姿勢が常にどのスタッフからも感じられました。部屋は様々なタイプがありますが、今回宿泊して部屋はドアを開けると直ぐにバスタブがあり、シャワーは全然違う場所にあるという不思議な構造で使いにくいと感じました。洗面台のライトも最新のタッチセンサー式でしたが壊れていて点灯しませんでした。プール、露天風呂は清潔でリゾートホテルとして魅力的だと感じました。クレジットカードを利用できないので注意が必要です。"
