We had a lovely stay at Sapa Clay House. The staff is very attentive and they put a lot of love and care into the property. They helped arrange a couple of tours for us during our stay which were excellent. One of the tours was a trek at a tea farm a couple hours outside of Sapa and it was so beautiful. The property exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend staying here if you are in Sapa. The meals served here were also incredible and healthy. You can tell they truly care about their guests and ensuring they have a wonderful stay. Thank you for hosting us!

Room has clean linen and towels. Was kept spotless with 2 daily cleaning and replenishment of water. Lovely view of the mountain and rice terrace on clear days. Even in the rain the fog makes is magical - simply breathtaking ! Special thanks to the in-house chef for whipping up delicious meals. The freshness of vegetables brings our dinner to a new level.

The most wonderful experience staying at Sapa Clay House..is truly is a mountain retreat. After a busy few days we enjoyed the kindness of everyone in this family run retreat. They were so attentive and helpful and spoke English very well. The views from our room were incredible and everything from the bed linen to bathroom amenities are luxurious. Then there is the food made with love from their garden and local goods. The pool was wonderful to cool off after an enjoyable walk to the local village. I’m so glad we stayed just outside of Sapa town. You must stay here for such an amazing stay

Pros: Beautiful view. The grounds are lovingly maintained and lush. The staff are hardworking, attentive, and friendly. The main highlight of this venue is the food, which is truly world class. Amazing breakfast with incredible french toast. If you value fresh and local ingredients, the quality here is hard to top. We would have loved to do the cooking class but did not get the time to. Dinners were great too, albeit not included and relatively expensive for Vietnam. Great location - 10 minute drive to Sapatown but far enough away to be mostly quiet. The pool with the view is nice but cool as not heated. The 3 small dogs that roam the premises are friendly/entertaining if you are a dog person. Soft bedding and clean + well sized room. Air conditioning in the room worked well. Cons: No safe in room, however you can leave valuables at front desk. No mini fridge in room. There is an itemized list posted in the room of the cost of any item if you break or damage it. While I appreciate the intent of clear communication, it came across a bit hostile and made us hypervigilant to leave no trace. The room soundproofing wasn't great - if a loud car came by, you heard it, albeit infrequent - same goes for the birds chirping at sunrise. Most daytime activities were not included and costed significantly more compared to organizing independently - we opted to organize our own trekking. At 170 CAD a night for the seasonal house + breakfast included, we felt it was moderately overpriced.

Sapa Clay House was a first class experience. We have traveled around the world and Clay House will be remembered as one of our top tier experiences. Every detail, from the extreme hospitality, to the bedding, to the food was simply incredible. Hospitality: We were at clay house for about 24 hours but felt like family within the first hour. I am genuinely sad to leave the good people who make clay house a home. we had lovely conversations throughout our days and felt like we were in truly the best hands for all of our bookings around Sapa. we especially loved learning that the staff take a few days off to go on vacation together every year - they had just returned from Thailand - it makes sense given how truly close and happy everyone is. Food: holy cow. We love good food and elevated experiences. We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants around the world. Every dish at Sapa Clay House is on par with the best restaurants we’ve been to. We were continuously in awe of the beauty, freshness, taste, and presentation of our lunch, dinner, and breakfast. Chef Huan could have a job at any restaurant in the world. We are so lucky that he is the chef at Clay house. I wish we could have stayed and eaten there for a week. Our wine was also fantastic. Cooking class: best one we’ve ever had (compared to Tuscany, Sicily, Japan, Spain, Denver, etc).

Absolute best! The views are unbelievable and being located between Sapa and a Hmong village made for nice walks to both places. We were there during Tet and there were few guests and only 2 staff who were the very best compared to any place I’ve been in the world. Can’t thank Vuong and Huan enough for their kindness, hospitality and fantastic cooking. Highly recommend this place and will tell my friends and family about it.

This is a must stay in Sapa. The views are stunning, the food is magnificent and the service is superb. Located a little away from the tourist town it is peaceful and friendly, but offers great tours and walking access to the valley away from the obnoxious crowds.

The owners could not have been more responsive to every need. If you visit Sa Pa / Fansi Pan, you must stay at the Clay House. I have rarely relaxed to this extent, and the food / drinks were outstanding. The only negative comment about the Clay House, is that we had to leave.

My dream come true stay! The staff is so personable and welcoming and the property is so gorgeous and calming. It’s only a short grab ride from the restaurant area, but the food on the property is extremely fresh and ALARMINGLY delicious. They used all the veggies and herbs from their garden and anything outsourced is organic. They own the Tonkin Spa, which was the cherry on top to our stay in Sapa. I will definitely come back. It’s worth every penny

Perfect place to stay in Sapa

Loved every second of our stay at Sapa Clayhouse. Spent 3 nights and did not want to leave. Every staff member was super friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome. Everyone had a huge smile on their face the whole time, really feels like you're staying with a special family. Everything is decorated beautifully, looks incredible and spotlessly clean. Food was delicious and the chefs put in a lot of effort making everything taste and look amazing and were great at accommodating any requests. Location perfect really short car trip into Sapa town but views of the mountains and local walks meant we stayed nearby mostly. Staff gave really good recommendations for trips highly recommend the spa it was Outstanding.
