Beautiful experience to do!
We booked a 2-day, 1-night trekking tour in a homestay with a local guide named Say. The tour is stunning and she was truly lovely and always available to us. The evening and night in the homestay is truly a beautiful experience. Finally, upon returning to their office they let you take a shower, which is very useful.
I really recommend it!!

Great way to get to know the mountains and their different tribes.
She has been a great guide, who has accompanied us and cared for us very fondly. He has shared with us his customs and has answered all our questions.
The experience is great, although you have to be prepared for the heat and humidity.

Amazing 2 days trekking with outstanding guide
Incredible experience from start to finish! The scenery was breathtaking, and our guide Sang was outstanding. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and always supportive. Everything was well-organized. The overnight stay with a local family provided an authentic impression. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable outdoor adventure!

Great views, easy track, mediocre experience
The views were stunning and the people in the villages really friendly, but be aware of that half of the track is following a paved road with regular motorbike traffic. Also there were multiple areas where we were walking with 5 or 6 groups in a row. We have done many trekkings across Asia, but this was by far the least ‘off the beaten tracks’. But good if you’re into a nice hike.
Also the guide was not very engaging. When we arrived at the home stay, she casually mentioned she was going home and would pick us up the next day. When she was there the next morning she sat in a corner of the room with her back towards us, watching tv on her phone, until we asked if we could start.
So views are phenomenal, track is easy to do, quite crowded depending on the season, so pretty decent experience.
Finally the homestay was ok, but missing the engagement with the family we’ve had in other trekkings. Could have been related to the corn harvesting which occupied most of the family, but it felt more like we were tolerated than welcomed.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We truly appreciate your detailed review — both the positive aspects and the areas where you felt the experience could be improved.
We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the stunning views and appreciated the friendliness of the local people. However, we’re very sorry to learn that parts of your trek didn’t meet your expectations.
Regarding the route: you're right that some parts of certain treks follow paved roads, especially during the rainy season when alternative off-road trails can be too muddy or unsafe. However, we understand how that may take away from the “off the beaten path” experience you were hoping for, and we are currently working on diversifying our routes based on guest feedback like yours.
About the guide and the homestay experience: we sincerely apologize for the lack of engagement you felt. That’s not the level of warmth and attention we strive to provide. Your comments have already been shared with our team and the guide in question so we can better train and support them in offering more attentive and personal service.
Finally, you're right that corn harvesting season can affect how much time the host family spends with guests — but even so, we absolutely want our travelers to feel genuinely welcomed. We'll review how we prepare our hosts during busy times to ensure every visitor still feels at home.
Thank you again for joining us and for helping us improve. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to offer you a more memorable and authentic experience.
