Here's what keeps coming up.
We open the door at 4 AM
Night buses from Hanoi arrive when they arrive. Someone is always up.
We arrived at 4 am and they attended to us quickly, and the breakfast was delicious!
Two free nights, bags kept safe
Book a tour with us and the nights before and after are on the house. Leave your big bag while you ride.
Keeps your big bag and 2 nights for free.
Small groups, real shortcuts
Five to seven riders, not twenty. That's what makes the back roads possible.
We were just 5 people which was perfect. We took many shortcuts with amazing views that larger groups would never take.
A shower waiting when you're back
Even if you haven't booked that night. Fresh towels, somewhere to rest before your bus.
Even though we hadn't booked another night, they generously let us use their shower facilities and provided fresh towels.
You're never left guessing
WhatsApp with your guide from the day you book to the day you leave.
Communication was very reliable, and we stayed in touch via WhatsApp the whole time.
Sometimes you end up at the family table
It's not on any itinerary. It just happens more often than you'd think.
The owner, Tinh, took us to a family dinner. They were super welcoming and nice and we had a really great time.
Check Our Adventurers Reviews !
I slept in a private room, which was spacious, clean, and quiet. We also took the Ha Giang Loop motorbike tour with Easy Rider. The owner helped us with everything, stored our luggage, and coordinated our return trip. The tour itself was excellent—great off-the-beaten-path destinations, good drivers, good food, and plenty of accommodations. The homestays were also lovely.
I stayed in a room with two large beds and an en-suite bathroom, for 161k VND per night.
Definitely worth a visit!
The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our stay. We spent two nights there before starting the loop, and they allowed us to leave our larger bags safely at the hostel while we were away.
When we returned from the loop, even though we hadn't booked another night, they generously let us use their shower facilities and provided fresh towels, which was greatly appreciated after several days on the road.
Their hospitality really stood out and made our experience much more comfortable. We would happily recommend Mapi Adventures to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy place to stay in Ha Giang.
The location is perfect for hiking the famous Ha Giang Loop.
The rooms are nice, clean and comfortable, and there is also laundry service, very convenient especially for those who travel long.
A great point in favor is that they rent motors to make the Ha Giang Loop: they gave us a map, explained the whole route and provided great tips, which we enjoyed a lot.
After our trip, even without having a reservation, they kept us the large suitcase and even had us take a shower before we left.
A very rare welcome: we absolutely recommend it!
They welcomed us at 4:00 a.m. and then set off on rental scooters for the HA GIANG Loop.
On our return, they booked our bus to Hanoi and offered us fruit.
The vehicles were new and in perfect working order.
We also booked our hostel with them before and after the loop; the staff were lovely and very attentive!
Thank you, it was fantastic!
The scenery is magnificent, and we felt safe the entire time. The accommodations were comfortable, the food delicious, and the group dynamic with the guides was fantastic!
Honestly, one of the best experiences of my trip to Vietnam. I 100% recommend it without hesitation! 🚀
They make everything easy so you can join them to enjoy the Loops, meet local cultures, and experience everything this wonderful area has to offer.
Thank you
Clean room
We were welcomed very nice by the owners, everything is clean and well kept ! We would come back again surely and I would recommend that you will come as well ❤️❤️

And We also booked our bus tickets to Hanoi directly from there, and they helped arrange transport and services for other places in Vietnam like sapa,halong bay .etc as well.

The owners are very kind people.
It was really a good time .
Recommended 100%
The owners are very friendly and always smile.
They served me a nice dinner and dragon fruit from their own garden.
They also helped me book a bus to Hanoi for bringing my bicycle to the mechanic.
I would not hesitate staying here again.
The rooms were spacious and had all the necessities. I arrived a bit unorganised and mentioned that I wanted to do the Ha Giang Loop solo. The lady kindly gave me a map and recommended routes based on how many nights I wanted to stay. They also rented me a motorbike at a reasonable price.
When I returned three days later to drop off the bike, I had a sleeper bus booked for the evening. They let me stay there while I waited, even offering me a shower and some fruit.
Not to mention the delicious breakfast and fruit.
Thank you again!
The room and bathroom were very clean, the house was quiet, and the staff were very kind and welcoming.
Recommended!
The hostel is affordable, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the included breakfast is good. We arrived at 4 AM and they were still waiting for us without any issues — they really adapt to your schedule.
Overall, it’s a nice place with great service, and Tinh makes it even better. I definitely recommend it.😊🏡
if you are here you should do book with them. 🙂
The owner, Tinh, took us to a family dinner. They were super welcoming and nice and we had a really great time. ❤️
Would always come back here and can definitely recommend.
When you’re in Ha Giang you shouldn’t miss this.
I will come back to this place!
The company organized us a wonderful experience in Ha Giang on all services😍😍
Clean new rooms, delicious food, and most importantly the attitude of the hostess! She was so welcoming and attentive, waited for us, although we arrived very late and fed us dinner! In the morning, a delicious breakfast and coffee awaited us. They told us how best to travel along the loop and which locations are a must-see. We rode our own motorcycle, but here you can rent one and book a motorcycle tour.
We liked it so much that after a 4-day trip along the loop, we stayed another night to rest.
Excellent homestay, there are private rooms and shared ones, everything is very modern and very clean. On the second floor there is a beautiful chill area with a view of the waterfall.
The hostess is very kind and always ready to help. An incredibly warm welcome and a feeling of "home"
This company gives me many things when finishing the Ha Giang loop. I will come back because the service people here are very good❤️!

Guided Tours of Ha Giang Loop
From Ma Pi Leng Pass to the H'mong villages - 2 to 4 days
We keep groups small — often just 5 to 7 riders — so we can take the shortcuts and back roads on the Ha Giang Loop that big-group tours never use, and stop wherever a viewpoint over the Nho Que river or a H’Mong village market catches your eye.
Communication stays simple and reliable: you’re on WhatsApp with your guide from the day you book to the day you ride out of Ha Giang. And plenty of guests have ended up sitting down to dinner with the family at our homestay — the night before setting off, or once they’re back from the loop. Pick your pace: 2 days, 3 days or 4 days on the loop.

Local Product and Traditional Meals
The Vietnamese Food
North Vietnam is known for its vibrant and diverse culinary scene, with hot pot being a popular and beloved dish. This communal dining experience allows diners to cook a variety of fresh ingredients, such as thinly sliced meats, seafood, and an array of vegetables, in a bubbling broth right at the table. The flavors of the broth can range from savory and aromatic to spicy and tangy, depending on the region and personal preferences. Hot pot is often enjoyed with a selection of dipping sauces, adding an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious meal.
A Speciality for Every Taste
North Vietnam is renowned for its diverse and flavorful cuisine, deeply rooted in the region’s rich cultural heritage. From the iconic pho, a fragrant noodle soup, to the savory banh cuon, steamed rice rolls filled with pork and mushrooms, the local dishes showcase the region’s emphasis on fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. Other popular specialties include bun cha, grilled pork served with vermicelli noodles, and cha ca, a unique dish of grilled fish seasoned with turmeric and dill. You can also taste banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich, and egg coffee, a creamy and indulgent beverage. Exploring the local food in North Vietnam is a culinary journey that highlights the region’s culinary traditions and the creativity of its chefs.
