Dinh Da H'Mong - Karsterly Rock Lodge

Perfect place, perfect host! Good food. The rooms are lovely and confortable. The host is very nice and caring. Close to the city but very quiet. Beautiful atmosphere. We spent one night there but we wish we would have spent mant more. Thank you

Stayed in Nov 2023 for 1 night Pros: -the staff were friendly but couldn't speak English. good hospitality though. -room was quite comfortable for a traditional style house. bed and pillow was comfortable, they had a mosquito net around the bed. -it was very clean -toilet and shower were kind of separated by a short wall -shower was nice and warm with good pressure, although apparently if others are taking showers the hot water can run out but we didn't experience that. -hairdryer is provided in the room -they served us a dinner even though we didn't prebook and it was alright. it's fresh of course, black chicken and some cured pork -airconditioner -wifi speed tested was fine at 25.8 mbps download and 23.9 mbps upload. Cons: -no sound insulation at all. you can hear when your next door neighbour is talking. luckily they didn't talk past say midnight. -quite expensive for what it was, compared to other places in Dong Van or the Ha Giang loop ~$120 AUD or ~$80 USD or ~73 Euro. -a major con i would say and something they should address is the smoke at night coming into the rooms. Most of the private rooms are upstairs and below is a hall with dining tables and a big open fireplace. At night they light the fireplace with wood and a lot of smoke is generated and that smoke goes upwards through the wooden floorboards into all the rooms. At night I was feeling weird in my lungs and I couldn't understand, i thought it was maybe insect repellant they put outside but when my eyes and throat started feeling very irritated and felt like they were burning to the point where I felt like I couldn't breath I went downstairs and i opened the door into the hallway and a huge haze of smoke filled the place, it looked pretty dangerous and all that smoke was causing me to cough in the room...so luckily we left those big doors open for a while and we put out the fire (no staff around late at night) and eventually after 30 minutes or more the smoke dissipated to a lower level where I could at least sleep. But I still felt it linger a bit. I feel like this is a health hazard and toxic to your lungs honestly. -So to cut a long story short they left the fire burning at the fireplace in the hall at the bottom level causing the smoke to go upwards through the wooden floorboards blanketing our room which is a major health and fire hazard. This was discovered when we went down to the hall to investigate the source of the smoke.

Une expérience incroyable chez des gens adorables. Une cuisine gourmande et un logement d’une simplicité rustique et raffinée. Le lieu est tout simplement cool et confortable. Rien ne manque à notre confort après 7 heures de moto. Nuit tranquille…
