During my travels in Vietnam I ended up visiting the lodge several times. Its such a nice and relaxing place to spend time that I couldn't resist the temptation. My last stay at the lodge was unfortunately only four nights but it was still considerably longer than most visitors I think. I cannot recommend this place enough. Its simply a... More

I've visited the Topas Ecolodge several times now and it continues to surprise me with its amazing location, friendly service and its absolutely healing ambience. The views are stunning, the surroundings full of interesting villages and local tribes. I have spend many hours just sitting outside the lodge main building drinking coffee, reading and taking in the views. The sunset... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The surroundings are stunning and the restaurant, lounge and outside areas are beautifully done and compliment the beautiful surroundings. We have been travelling for a few months now and it was the perfect way to relax. The cottages are clean and stylish and comfortable with lovely balconys overlooking the... More

We arrived after a wonderful Homestay with Tourguide "Chung" at a Red Dao Home in Sapa. Thats the best part about Topas Travel. WARNING! Dont stay at the Ecolodge! WARNING!

It's sad to see such a beautiful hotel unable to live up to its potential. The road to the lodge is downright treacherous. The views are nice but to an extent, marred by construction in the valley below. Most unfortunate is the place is unmanaged. The only communication you will ever receive from the management is a letter from the... More

We stayed here for a night and a day and a half in April. A family of 4 with 2 young kids. I can say it was one of the best parts of my Vietnam trip. The location is so peaceful with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and valley. It is literally in the middle of nowhere. The trip... More

Hi chefig2010 Thank you very much for your review. I've noted you comment on our day menu and your idea on adding some dishes for kids. The number of families with kids are increasing and for future visitors we will definitely make sure there will be good choices for all. Regarding our bathrooms you are right. Right now we are...

Hi Redmondtravelers Thank you! Thank you for the recommendation and thank you for highlighting that Topas Ecolodge is not to everyones taste (we even write this exact line on our website).

The disappointment is not the place itself, it is the management! We booked one bungalow for three people, so we had one extra bed in the room. In the morning my aunt said that it was a terrible night and she had a back pain. We looked under the matrace amd learnt that the standard space between the grate was... More

Hi AndreaAK I'm sorry you had to write this and I'm sorry you stay was a big disappointment. You are certainly also entitled to your opinion of me, however I do not think it justifies making it personal here at TripAdvisor. Regards, Pernille Lodge Manager, Topas Ecolodge More

We stayed at the lodge for three nights - which seems to be a bit longer than the average stay. It certainly appeared to us that plenty of folks zoomed in and out for a night - which is in my opinion a shame given the time it takes to travel from Hanoi to Sapa and beyond . If you... More

On the surface, the ecolodge looks wonderful. The cabins were tidy and well appointed, but everything was damp through the entire stay. The room was damp, the sheets and towels were damp, and all of our clothes were damp. The food at the lodge was also sub-par. Breakfast and dinner both were lacking, food was cold when should have been... More
