Planning a trip to Sapa and its surrounding areas, but not sure where to start?
Mama Lili welcomes you into her home to experience authentic Hmong hospitality. Join her and her family for as long as you wish, and discover the warmth of local ethnic communities while sharing in the traditions, daily life, and culture of the Hmong people.
Vous pourrez assimiler quelques notions du travail et des merveilles qu’accomplissent ses villageois dans leur ferme au jour le jour : plantations, travail pour le bien être et l’entretien du bétail, cuisines et coutumes locales.
You’ll have the opportunity to discover the daily work and traditions of the local villagers, from farming and crop cultivation to caring for livestock, preparing traditional meals, and experiencing local customs firsthand.

We couldn't be happier with this experience. Su Ly approached us in SaPa market while we were trying to decide where to go for trekking around the area and she offered us to go to her homestay and hike with her.
At the beggining we were a bit hesitant but she really has a special charm so me gave it a try and everything ended up being way better than what we expected. From the lovely (and remote, very remote) homestay with amazing views, to the beautiful and interesting trekking that we did with her to the food that her husband prepared. Everything was 10/10. We even decided to stay one more night.
I would defenitely recommend getting in contact with Su Ly asap if you're in SaPa. She'll take care of the rest and will make you wish you had more time to stay.

What to say about Mama Lili and her family?!? They have been absolutely AMAZING! we met Mama Lili randomly in Sapa and we decided to go for a trekking with her in the valley. It was unbelievable! She was so kind and good to us, and when we discovered that she owned an homestay on the mountains 30 min from Sapa we decided to go and stay at her place for 2 nights.
The view from the homestay and the bungalows is insane! You can see all the valley and the magnificent mountains in front of you. Surrounded by nature, animals and peace.
Having dinner with the family was a nice experience that we never gonna forget. Talking and learning a lot about their Hmong culture.
Food was amazing and local, rice, eggs and vegetables from their garden.
Rooms are basic, but you have hot water and the bed is very comfortable.
We could never thank enough Mama Lili to take such good care of us. You will be in our hearts forever!

Fuimos 6 amigas a Sa pa, nos quedamos una noche en mama lilis homestay, llegamos a las 6 am y no puso ningún tipo de problema en venir a recogernos a esa hora al centro de la ciudad, ya que la casa está un poco apartada de la ciudad en la montaña ( con las vistas más maravillosas que he visto jamás a los arrozales). Nada más llegar, nos dió una pulsera a cada una y un gran abrazo con una sonrisa. Su home stay consta de 4 cabañas dobles con baños privados y su propia casa que es grande y tiene habitaciones también de hospedaje. Ella te da todas las comidas caseras, hechas por ella, buenísimas y no solo eso, sino que es super atenta con los gustos de cada uno.
Estuvimos 1 noche y dos días, hicimos dos rutas con ella maravillosas, nos enseño absolutamente todo, y nos trato con muchísimo cariño en todo momento. Es una maravilla que alguien de allí te enseñe los arrozales y los pueblos de las montañas.
Habla perfectamente inglés y se preocupa mucho por sus huéspedes. Un pedacito de mi se queda en Sa pa con ella, ha sido un placer conocerla tanto a ella como a su familia.
Recomiendo ropa de deporte y mochila en vez de maleta ya que hay mucho barro y la bajada a la casa puede ser un poco complicada.
Muchas gracias mama lili por la experiencia.
Super miejsce w górach. Wspaniałe widoki. Bardzo gościnna i rodzinna atmosfera. Czyste i przyjemne pokoje. Bardzo dobre, lokalne jedzenie. Mama Lili jest cudowną i bardzo ciepłą osobą 🙂

Mama Lily is very caring. She cooks local food for her guests and provides everything you may need. Her family is also very friendly and always ready to help with anything. Her son can drive you to the town and to other villages if you want.
Another huge advantage is that you stay in a separate little house. There are many animals around, which bring a peaceful and calming atmosphere.
Mama also organizes trekking tours around the mountains and rice terraces, so you can see them up close and learn more about the daily life of the mountain villagers.
Thank you so much, Mama, for this wonderful experience! If I ever come back to Sapa, I will definitely visit this family again.

The best 🥰 We planned one night and stayed 5. Everything (Bungalow, Food, Hikes) was VERY affordable, particularly in comparison to hikes offered in Sapa City. Every night wonderful homecooked meals made from homegrown vegetables (including the rice) and local meat and eggs. Breakfast was amazing, too. Best hikes: if you're into hiking, Mama Lili and her daughter SunJi are your guides - off the trodden path, into the forest, over the river to the waterfall - and those aren't even all of their routes.
When I ran out of Nutmilk, SunJi brought me a pack from one of her trips to Sapa. Mama Lili taught me embroidery. Such a warm, friendly athmosphere.
Most of all, we enjoyed the silence. In the morning, a small herd of waterbuffalos would walk past our terrace. Giant Butterflies. Tranquility.
The rooms are individual bungalows with a table & chairs under a sun-umbrella in front. The beds are Firma, but just sleep on the fluffy blanket and you'll be fine. The view across the mountains was perfect, we watch the sun rise & set and enjoyed the darkness of nights far from a city. We will definately come back.

Sa Pa es una región montañosa del norte de Vietnam llena de campos de arroz y gente amable que vive de la agricultura principalmente, pero también en los últimos años se gana la vida acogiendo a turistas en su casa para hacerlos sentir parte de la familia. Mama Lili es una de esas personas. Tuve la suerte de compartir con ella un par de días y la verdad es que solo puedo decir cosas buenas. ¡Esa mujer es puro amor!

Staying at Mama Lili’s homestay was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, she treated us with incredible warmth and kindness, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing treks she took us on, where we explored breathtaking natural landscapes that we would never have found on our own.
The food she prepared was absolutely delicious, homemade and full of local flavor, making every meal a delight. On top of that, Mama Lili went out of her way to help me organize my return bus, which made my travel plans so much smoother.
I couldn’t recommend this experience more. If you’re looking for genuine hospitality, great adventures, and incredible food, this is the place to stay!
