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).

The views were fantastic, and the hotel staff were outstanding—consistently going out of their way to be helpful. The food ranged from very good to excellent. I would highly recommend staying here.

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

The rustic charm at Sapa Clay House Mountain Resort provides a peaceful escape from the bustling town. The landscaping is beautiful and refreshing.

I first stayed at Sapa Clayhouse in June 2023 with my son and his girlfriend for 5 unforgettable days. I was completely enchanted by the beauty, peace, and warmth of this place. This time, we returned for a total of 7 nights with family & close friends and somehow, it was even more magical. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfection. Our room had glorious mountain views that greeted us every morning like a dream. Breakfast was generous and delicious, and we ended up eating every single meal at the hotel restaurant, every dish was cooked to perfection and served with such care. The staff were exceptional in every way: warm, attentive, and always making us feel like family. Their kindness is something I’ll never forget. This time, we also got to experience their brand-new Tonkin Spa, a stunning space that blends beautifully into the mountain setting. I booked a massage, and miraculously, my upper back pain (which had been bothering me for months) was completely healed. It was like therapy for the body and soul. Both times I’ve stayed at Sapa Clayhouse, I’ve left feeling deeply restored, inspired, and full of gratitude. It truly is Heaven on Earth, and I already know I’ll be back again. My heart belongs here🌿💚⛰️

Staff is just amazing and so friendly. Restaurant out of this world. A little piece of heaven not far from the center town but soooo much better!

Un hébergement parfait et une famille accueillante et de bons conseils. Nous avons passé 5 jours avec un enfant de 2.5 ans. Le site est magnifique et tranquille, mais à seulement quelques minutes de taxi/Grab de la ville ou du village de Lao Chai pour marché avec un guide. Le déjeuner inclu à la carte était très bon, et le service de restaurant du soir est parfait également. Nous y avons soupé tous les soirs et sans hesitation. Tout est fait avec soins. Ils nous ont conseillé sur les activités. Ils ont également le Tonkin spa en ville que nous avons apprécié, ainsi que le café-terrasse adjacent au spa avec la magnifique vue sur la vallée. Bref, je ne peux que recommander le Sapa Clay House.

Sa Pa Clayhouse exceeded our expectations from the fast check-in to the walk into our executive king size room. We woke up to a breathtaking mountain view. It was magical. The signature Rice restaurant dining experience was amazing. Every dish was beautifully prepared. A huge thank you to the team for making our stay unforgettable! The Harveys, Australia

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Sapa Clay House - I only wish it had been longer! We slept in one of the bungalows overlooking the rice fields and the view was stunning, even on mornings when there was some fog. The bed was comfortable and the room was unique and charming. The resort is run by a family, which only adds to the charm. The manager was attentive, helpful, and friendly - he even waited up late for us when our bus was late! He gave us excellent recommendations for activities and food, called us taxis whenever we needed one (and we paid less this way), and was fun to chat to. The whole family was delightful, helpful, and fun to be around. And of course, they had the cutest dog! I also highly recommend the food at Sapa Clay House. The breakfast was so good that we came back on day for lunch! The ingredients are fresh and local, and we could taste the difference. Sapa was the highlight of our time in Vietnam and I recommend anyone who visits to spend time at Sapa Clay House!

This is a truly gorgeous hotel. My room ("Bamboo Hut" is stunning - feels more like a villa than a hut, real luxury, with gorgeous local art. The whole roof is a stunning, hand made tapestry in gorgeous red and golds. There are big windows and a double door that opens - giving you a huge view of the valley. Bathroom has a little flower-bedecked outside space next to it. Really a joy and even better than the photos. The hotel also has gorgeous communal spaces - the infinity pool is as beautiful as it looks in the photos. There are also roof terraces where I saw the most heart-stopping views across the valley at dawn. The hotel is run by a beautiful extended family, and the spirit of love and peace permeate the restaurant and reception areas, while you are left in total peace in your room or on the terraces. The only thing I was disappointed by in this hotel, is that it is right next to a road that's quite noisy with motorbikes. I don't think this will matter for most rooms, but the bamboo huts, which are closest were a little noisy during the day. Everything quietens down though for night time, and the staff mentioned they were working on a bit more sound insultation for these rooms. Otherwise, a truly stunning hotel - you'll be in heaven!

I can't say enough good things about our stay here. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and professional. I was quite ill while I was there and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had what I needed to feel better. I highly recommend Sapa Clay House and hope to return one day!

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.

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
