I found the room rates to be reasonable for the amenities offered. With just 6 bungalow rooms, the Chapa Ecolodge Sapa Vietnam provides a cozy and intimate atmosphere.

Pros:
As I opened the door to my room at Chapa Ecolodge Sapa Vietnam, I was immediately struck by the attention to detail in the interior design. The bathroom was spotless, and the comfortable mattress and perfect pillows promised a restful night’s sleep. Above the bed hung a large mosquito net, ensuring a peaceful sleep free from unwanted visitors. I found everything I needed, from a water heater to toiletries like towels and a toothbrush.
But the highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking views from my room. With just a lift of my camera, I captured stunning photos of the surrounding scenery. The tranquility of waking up and going to bed amidst such beauty was truly rejuvenating.
Cons
However, the room itself was quite cold, despite the air conditioner set to max, and the hot water heater only provided warmth for a short period. Moreover, there was a space in the room, and the door design allowed chilly drafts to seep in, making me feel even colder. Visiting in December, with temperatures at 4°C, I found it nerve-wracking to shower, even with three layers of clothing. However, the staff helped adjust the air conditioner, and their assistance was appreciated.
Other Amenities: Outdoor Space
I loved the outdoor space at Chapa Ecolodge Sapa Vietnam. Surrounded by lush trees and nestled among the hills, it felt like a green paradise. The natural stone pavement added a rustic charm while ensuring safety. I felt so at ease and comfortable, just soaking in the beauty of nature. It was the ideal place to unwind after a day of exploration.
