Sinai Bungalow & Hotel SaPa

Words cannot describe how special this home stay is. Firstly, there is a variety of accommodation levels to cater for all budgets. We stayed in Bungalow 10, (photo below), 212 stairs down, but the most secluded with the sounds of a babbling brook, birds and local village life in the distance. Other bungalows have far less steps if you need. Secondly, the location is absolutely stunning, in the middle of a forest, just out of Sapa, so it's beautifully peaceful. Every day, there is one free taxi service into town, which none of the other countryside homestays near Sapa offer. This is so convenient and much appreciated. The bungalows are incredible, very private with outdoor table and chairs and so romantic! We only had time to do one guided trek with a guide organized by Sinai. Our guide Lina was the most wonderful, happy and funny company you could wish for on a day out. We highly recommend! Due to an unfortunate accident, my stay meant that I required a lot of care and support from the host. I was well cared for and loved, just like a member of the family. Ruth went above and beyond to ensure that my every possible need was fulfilled, to do with the police, the hospital, the certificates to get home, the pain medication I needed, and even more that I didn't know I needed! We thank you Ruth and Sinai, from the bottom of our hearts and we will remember you forever ❤️ 💙 ♥️

Bungalow 7 was amazing! It's great to have 1 included taxi per day, perfect for setting off for each days adventures. Large bungalow, plenty of space for a family of 3 and the beds were comfortable. We loved sitting out on the deck enjoying the view. Be aware there were about 180 steps to get to Bungalow 7. We were fine with this each day but could be a concern for some.

We had a very nice stay at Sinai Bungalow. The property is about a mile from Sa Pa proper which makes it a nice, quiet location - it's also very beautiful, rain or shine, being on the backside of the hill. It's not a luxurious stay, but as an upscale backpacker's hotel, it was really good and I'd recommend it. They let us rent a motorbike, which we used to tool around the city, and were accommodating for our dog. We also used them to arrange a tour of the local villages - they do try to cover all a tourist's needs. The staff was very attentive and friendly - we had trouble with our water heater, and then the power went out for the whole neighborhood for a whole day, but the staff were communicative and proactive. Overall I think Sinai was a very good value for money!

The location was peaceful and tucked away in a quiet area. The bungalow was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed. The views from the porch were absolutely stunning, a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. It was a truly relaxing stay. The staff were warm and welcoming, and Ruth was especially helpful — she responded quickly to our queries and even went out of her way to help us arrange transport late at night. Overall, a fantastic stay!

We loved our stay here! It was so nice to have a private bungalow in the view was stunning. The bungalows are really cosy have a really nice bathroom shower set up. The bed was also one of the comfy beds. We slept on during our travels in Vietnam. The staff was very kind and provided one free ride into downtown Sapa each day! While you are a little far from town, it’s easy to get into town. The serenity at Sinai is very much worth the drive! Understandably there are lots of stairs if you are in a lower bungalow (11 is the furthest bungalow down, we stayed in 8). This wasn’t a problem for us as we only had backpacks, but if you have lots of luggage, I think you can just ask the staff to help you. The breakfast included was not the best we’ve had in Vietnam as they do it buffet style, so sometimes the food was cold… but other than that, our stay here was amazing!
