Still, had to write because I don’t want to spoil my holiday. The place itself is amazing staff are attentive, the pool is bliss. And we are only 5 mins from Sa Pa town. What I don’t like is being forced to decide if I having breakfast every day at £9 per day having just come from a 10 hr journey by car from Ha Long Bay. Then the next day being forced to decide, before I’d been into town what activities I’d like to book. I say forced, because the manager presented it as their option is the only bonafide option. After saying yes yes all looks great but I’ll check out town too, we left it. Having met some folks in town I booked a day trek at £20 not the $85 clay house were charging. Short story, I came and told them and boy did that cause a recuse. No no you can’t cancel we already booked, and okay you have good luck with police on private trek. I’d booked the trek through getyourguide and showed them the booking. Anyway, the pool is bliss, has calmed me down. Would stay here again, just be very firm with them from the get go

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.

Hotel ist sehr klein, das ist durchaus positiv. Zimmer an sich ganz schön gemacht. Aussicht ist wunderschön, der Pool ist ebenfalls super toll gemacht. Zimmer selbst ist sehr old school eingerichtet, Bad mit Dusche und Badewanne, die jedoch undicht war, was man nach etwas Entspannung am Boden gesehen hat, wo das Wasser quer durch das Bad lief. Umgebung nicht optimal, sehr schmutzig um das Hotel herum und eigentlich nur mit einem Roller oder Grab zu erreichen. Frühstück a la Carte aber nicht wirklich lecker, kann ich überhaupt nicht empfehlen. Personal wirkten wie Kinder, teils ohne Englisch Kenntnisse. Abgesehen vom Manager. Für den Preis nicht zu empfehlen.

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

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🌿💚⛰️
