Staff was great, the place is beautiful!

First, the facilities: absolutely beautiful traditionally built bamboo houses which come with amenities such as a hot water shower and clean water toilets. The house is surrounded by a tranquil well maintained garden that is hidden from the rest of the busy town that lets you relax on the various garden patios in peace. The place also sells e.g. Coffee, smoothies and breakfast, which all I found good. All facilities were in super clean condition which I liked alot as well. Second, the staff: they were incredibly polite and helpful. The lady working at the place speaks good english and knows a lot about what to do in the region, including bus transport, good restaurants, and sightseeing. It is also possible to rent a scooter for e.g. Daytrips. Personally I booked the scooter to go see Thac Ba lake, and it was one of the highlights of my trip in Viet Nam. For me Yen Bai and the surrounding region were a great pitstop when travelling from Sapa to Hanoi. The areas are beautiful and the town itself is interesting for exploring for an afternoon / full day. It is also not visited by many tourists, which made it an authentic experience of rural Viet Nam for me (especially after the crowded Sapa). However, with so few tourists, there is not much information on anything, no scooter rentals on the street, and no tour guides. This is why I was so pleased about staying at Dinh Gia Trang while at Yen Bai; not only was the accomodation pleasant, but also the helpful staff gave me recommendations and guidance which unlocked the full potential of visiting the otherwise unknown region.

A truly unforgettable stay! The space is filled with natural light thanks to the many large windows, making it feel fresh and airy all day long. The bathroom is impressively spacious, and the kitchen—wow—is the most unique and charming one I’ve ever seen. Everything here is thoughtfully designed and full of creativity. You can really feel the care and love that went into every detail. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I left feeling inspired and completely refreshed. Highly recommended!

Unique place. Etc and her wife did an amazing place where you feel totally good. It's like a retreat, an artsy place and quiet.

The most friendly honestly I could have wished for! Hot shower and amazing food! Super grateful!!!

It is difficult to match this level of *feeling welcome* - I have felt 100% at home with Phuong and his wife + son. The *food* is INCREDIBLE. Easily the best I've had in Vietnam; it was fresh, exciting and very tasty. Slept like a baby in a *very comfortable bed*. The room is spacious too. And above all, *the communication* with Phuong is in near native-level English, which made gaining insights (and there were many :)) a breeze. I am very grateful for this experience, and have felt like a VIP for a couple of days. Usually I am wary of close-to-10-star ratings on Booking, but if 11 was an option, I would've ticked it.

Good and comfortable for a quick overnight stay en route to Sa Pa. Please note that the property is not on Google Maps and the coordinates given on Booking.com to copy are incorrect. Look up “Chợ Đá Quý Yên Bái” on Google Maps and that is where the guest house is.
