Great trip with attentive and friendly drivers

We were recommended this Inn by a friend who rented a bike here a few years ago. We now can say that the place is still great! We arrived at about 2am and got video instructions on how to get into our room on our own. We had a private room with private bathroom, everything was super clean. The next morning we rented a semi automatic bike for our loop, which we did on our own. I could test ride two bikes and choose the better one. We also insured the bike and got a clear contract. The staff really cared about us and our safety, they checked my national and international drivers licence, which you need to do the loop. (We got checked two times, if you don't have one go as easyrider). The staff spoke good english and also helped us to book a bus to Ninh Binh. When we came back from our trip, they allowed us to take a shower while waiting for our sleeper bus. Their little restaurant serves nice food, a little pricy for the portion size but so convinient when you just arrived after a few days of riding. 10/10 We would highly recommend the place. We don't know about the tours they offer, as we just rented.

Well, hard to put everything into one review! I stayed with Lila Inn for one night before the loop and did the 4 day 3 night Ha Giang Loop. Lila Inn itself, is a very cute and clean place, I chose dorms and they were very spacious and comfortable. First of all, the loop is literally everything, everyone is saying it is. If you have time and are still thinking about it, do it! And book it with Lila Inn tours. We had the most amazing, fun group with just the four of us. The tour didn’t feel rushed at all and we saw amazing views, that other tour companies skipped, because their groups are way bigger. We met the other Lila Inn groups in the evening at the homestays, and still had our fun karaoke sessions and card game sessions. A little bit of happy water, can also not be missed (if you drink) but that is definitely not the focus with this company. Our drivers were always very responsible. All of our drivers were incredibly nice and we were able to talk to most of them in English, they taught us some Vietnamese and got to learn even more interesting information about Northern Vietnam and especially also the Hmong people and their lives. We all felt very safe and had a fun time together as a group and our drivers would make sure, we’d get the best experience. I have to point out my driver especially (Hoang Tuyen), he was absolutely amazing and turned out to be a great photographer as well! It was obvious that he loves his job. The homestays along the way were also very comfortable and clean and had extra amenities (like billiard, hammocks, etc). Food was great too. All I can say is that Vietnamese people are very welcoming and have great hospitality and this was my favorite part of the trip!

Lila Inn was recommended by some friends and we were not disappointed, Ngà and Thành were super helpful and friendly and we had the best experience.

Ho vissuto 3 giorni in un sogno, non mi svegliate! La vista, i panorami mozzafiato, la moto (il sedere piatto...ahahaha), il mio autista davvero speciale e bravissimo. La location è abbastanza centrale direi e comunque basta chiedere e se ti manca qualcosa sono subito disponibili a fornire tutto ciò che serve. Letto comodo, lenzuola pulitissime e servizi adorabili.

Mia Patel

Amazing tour, lovely drivers and so much fun. The drivers really knew the area and took us to so many secret spots and quiet areas. Stunning waterfalls and scenery as well as delicious food :)

Being in our mid-30s, we definitely wanted to experience the Ha Giang loop — but not on a motorbike for obvious safety reasons. We also weren’t too keen on drinking shots of happy water every night. Lila Inn definitely delivered! We did the 3-day, 2-night tour by car (a 7-seater Toyota). The driver was excellent — very careful on those challenging roads and smooth in his driving. He didn’t speak English, but we managed to communicate using Google Translate (with mixed results!). Since he was following the pre-agreed itinerary, everything went smoothly. The homestays we stayed in were also excellent — very clean and comfortable. The food throughout the tour was great. For example, on the last night, we had a local hot pot, while most other tours in the same restaurant were having more generic food. Before and during the trip, the Lila Inn team was super responsive on WhatsApp, helping us book our bus to Ha Giang and answering all our questions. We truly enjoyed these three days and are really happy we chose you for this tour. The price was also very competitive. Thanks a lot for everything!

Olivia Harker

Wow - I don’t think I’ll ever forget this experience. I did 4D/5N Ha Giang and Cao Bang. Only 2 of us ended up being on the tour so it felt like a private tour with lots of flexibility. Great dorm bed first night, and beautiful homestays with delicious food throughout. What was really notable (aside from the beautiful scenery) was the dedication, professionalism, and great spirit of the drivers. Long was my driver - and though we couldn’t communicate through language it was evident how much he cared for my safety and wellbeing. Tuyèn was the leader and constantly made sure I was OK, happy, and went above and beyond. They were also amazing personal photographers haha. They showed me an authentic Vietnamese experience and I will forever be grateful. We got to visit markets and communities of the local peoples (such as the Hmong), unique and quiet coffee stops, and great viewpoints. Please choose this company if you want a local, organically run tour that really cares about those who are on it. As a solo female traveller I could not have felt more supported, safe, or have had a better time. Also the manager Liam was very responsive and helpful with busses and luggage storage, as well as the tour overall.

The Lila Inn & Tours is a modern hostel that offers big, comfy beds, private and dorm rooms with strong AC and western toilets. We booked a 3D2N Loop Tour with Lila and had the most amazing experience! Our Easy Riders Am and Nun were super nice, patient, and made such an effort to make our tour unforgettable! I can just recommend it! Make sure to get some padding shorts (cause your butt will hurt after riding 2-3 days haha).

Morgan J

Best of Vietnam's landscape, thrilling tour. I did the 3D 2N tour, it was amazing. There are distict things to see every day and the scenery is incredible. Every turn there is a surprise. Am was my driver and he was super cautious and I felt safe at all times. Loved it!

Bruno V

a loop to remember : safe, exciting and fun I did a 2Day tour with driver. Very well organized (food, hidden stops and the loop in itself) and thanks to the driver I always felt safe and sound. I came by world of mouth and I confirm Lila Inn & Tours is highly recommandable. Cherry on the cake, I did appreciate my stay before and after at the Inn in Ha Giang, the team is adorable.

Food, views and a sore backside Excellent.We booked last minute on the morning of the 25th, and were in Ha Giang that night.We took a sleeper bus from Hanoi, leaving at 15:00 and arriving by 23:00.Our 2-day tour took us to Dong Van and back, with fantastic views all the way.Lunch and dinner with our riders consisted of rice and various sharing dishes (beef, pork, fish, 2-3 veg), and was good quality food cooked in family-run eateries. Our riders were great guys, safe drivers, and got us through rain and the aftermath of a mudslide being cleared away. Thanks bothYou’ll have a sore backside if you’re not used to riding passenger on a motorbike, but the experience was well worth the small discomfort.Thanks to the team at Lila Inn!

Luisa S

Great Experience The Ha Giang Loop Tour is one of the top 5 most beautiful experiences I had on mine. With Lila Inn it was great. Our group was three riders and three travelers and that was great because we met a lot of very large groups along the way and I definitely preferred our small group. The drivers were super safe and responsible and I never felt unsafe at all. Also the accommodation and meals was great. And eating together with the drivers was always very fun and we got many insights about life in Vietnam. All in all, it was a great tour and I would recommend it to everyone to do the tour with Lila Inn.

Great time on the 4D3N Ha Giang loop! Had a great time on the 4D3N Ha Giang Loop tour with Lila Inn! I felt safe the entire way, with my driver (Hoa) never going above 60km/h. We were taken to many view points and waterfalls along the route. We were with a tour group of only 4 people, which made the experience even better. Whilst the meals were similar, there was always a variety (chicken, beef, tofu, egg) and it was ALL so tasty. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a chill (non-party) tour around the beautiful Ha Giang loop! There is the opportunity for karaoke and to play pool at the home stays for evening entertainment too. Communications with Lila Inn was easy throughout the booking/trip. They even helped us book our bus travel to our connecting cities.

Miren A

Amazing It was an amazing experience. I really recommend the trip to anyone who wants to live a different experience in Vietnam.

Léna b

Incredible experience We took a 2 day tour on the ha giang loop. We were 2 with 2 drivers (Ngà and Thành). We had a great time, the scenery is amazing. Our drivers were super nice, we really laughed with them. In the evening we made a karaoke! It was a really nice experience. In addition, drivers are well paid! Thank you to them!!!

Eamonn T

We had the time of our lives We did the 4d3n tour with Lila and it was amazing. Liam told us a bit about himself and he's love for the region. We decided to go with the 4 days tour as to allow for a more relax pace. Since no one else booked the same tour, it was just the two of us. Our drivers were absolutely outstanding : very safe, looking after our every needs, taking on the role of photographer at every stops for us, even cooking. They had all the tips and tricks to make this trip memorable.When on the road, we saw a lot of other groups and most of them were very large groups of party goers ; we're so happy we went with something different. We feel like we truly discovered the Ha Giang regions and it's people.

Riley

Amazing experience!!! Was a once in a lifetime experience and Lila inn made our experience that much better. Every part of our trip was well organised and we always knew what was ahead. Our easy riders Vinh and Am were the highlight of our tour will remember them forever! Thankyou so much 🙂🙂

ADVENTURERS’ REAL EXPERIENCES

The Ha Giang Loop with Lila Inn was incredible! Spectacular views, safe drivers, and a chill vibe made it unforgettable. Homestays were basic but comfy, with cozy beds, showers, and adorable cats. Food was fantastic—varied dishes like meat, veggies, rice, and spring rolls, always delicious. Motorcycle rides were tough on knees due to downhill stretches, but frequent viewpoint stops allowed stretching, snacking, or sipping a beer. Drivers were super friendly, teaching Vietnamese cheers and playing pool at homestays. The trip’s immaculate vibes and thoughtful organization make it a must-do. 100% recommend for a relaxed, scenic adventure!

Best time to visit Ha Giang: Weather, seasons & Loop conditions

The best time to visit Ha Giang depends on what you want to see and how you plan to travel. For many travelers, September through November offers a good balance of mountain views, seasonal landscapes, and more favorable conditions for the Ha Giang Loop. September to early October is known for golden rice terraces, while buckwheat flowers usually bloom later in autumn. Spring brings a different experience. From January to March, peach blossoms appear around highland villages, while warmer months turn the mountains and rice fields green. July and August fall within the rainy season, when heavy rainfall can reduce visibility and make some mountain roads slippery. There is no single perfect month for everyone. Motorbike riders may prioritize dry...
