Michelle, Mar 2023
Mama Zuzu and her family team were fantastic hosts - completely authentic. We learned about their history and lifestyles. The accomodations are simple but fine, and meals terrific. If difficult hiking is a concern, be sure to inform them ahead of time so alternatives can be found.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Michelle I am so happy to receive your great present on here. My team and I were very happy to see your satisfaction of the services what you let us the chance customizing. We know that Mama Zuzu's house is very simple. However, it is warm and familiar enough. That is what we hope to bring to our customers. We would love to bring all traveller the real local life of ethnic people in Sapa. Although their house is simple, but you will be welcome in rich emotion, sharing and viewing what you may not see by reading. Perhaps it was rainy while your staying time there, so i still see your warm sentiments. Thank you so much for sharing your great experience about Mama Zuzu and her family.
