Testimonials

10/10 one of the best experiences of my life! Lila Inn accepted to give us a personalized experience of the Ha Giang Loop (3 days 2 nights) only for our couple and not part of a big group. Our two riders were absolutely amazing, very funny, talented guides, out of the busy the beaten tracks. We experienced Ha Giang through their eyes, getting to know the culture, delicious food, and insane views. Thank you Lila Inn for this experience! THANK YOU TOAN & ÂM ❤️❤️❤️

The home stays were perfect, comfortable, and very welcoming. We felt at home everywhere!

My boyfriend and I did the Ha Giang loop with Liam and also stayed one night before and after the tour.

Liam was super nice and helpful, helping us book transportation to and from Ha Giang. When we had a change of plans and decided to shorten the tour, Liam adjusted very quickly and also gave us a refund which was not obvious!

The tour was in a small group and in some places we were the only group there, which felt very authentic.

Great place! We did the Ha Giang loop with them and stayed in one of the (new?) private rooms before and after. Room was super nice and clean with a really nice shower which was heaven after the loop! The tour itself was great, very safe drivers and a more personal experience where you go to less touristy places. Homestays were great with private rooms for couples! Liam the host is also the cutest person ever who is clearly proud of the place 🙂 would recommend 🙂

Simple but Fabulous.

Liem was awesome, such a nice guy, made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to help me with any request. He booked my bus to Cao bang last min and then kindly dropped me off at bus stop as it was about to leave. Such a gent. The room was simple but clean and bed really comfortable. I stayed 2 nights before and after my trip. I had dinner one evening and there was so much food for the guests it’s was super hospitable for the price. I did the 3 day tour and it was epic. I felt really safe with my drivr Daí. On the road he also went out of his way to make my trip enjoyable. My group was just 3 me and a nice couple and im so glad as we got to experience so much more as a small group. Thanks guys!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just back from a 3 day 2 night tour of the beautiful Ha Giang loop with Lila Inn Travel Service . What a great experience. Liem and his team of very safe and experienced riders looked after us with great care. The Homestays were great and the food was excellent, both lunch and dinner. Highly recommend this great company who put us up in their new and very comfortable dormitories on the night before our trip and the night we finished. They also included luxury bus travel to and from Hanoi. A special shout-out to Leng Van Duong, my Easy Rider who helped me get some great camera shots. Thank you. Also Chi who looked after Irene every day. Highly recommended

10/10. This is by far the best tour I’ve ever been on in my life.

Liam, the owner, was incredibly friendly and took great care of us, organizing tickets to and from Ha Giang and even helping us book tours in other places in Vietnam.

Our English speaking tour guide, Stephan, was amazing. She took care of us at every step of the tour, and our group of 8 felt so safe and taken care of. She facilitated great activities including two hikes, one on the loop on day 2, and another up to a cave on day 3. She and all the drivers were safe, fun, and brought unforgettable vibes to the tour.

If you’re debating which tour to take in Ha Giang, I guarantee you this is the best one out there.

Hands down the best paid tour I’ve ever done. Our guides Thang and Vin were the best ever and went above and beyond to keep us away from the crowds, and on our own adventure. They are some of the kindest happiest people I’ve met in Vietnam. We saw so much more than many other tour groups, and the food and accomodation was amazing. I’ll remember the kindness of these people and the magic of their beautiful country forever. The receptionist at Lila in is also incredible, I arrived here at 2am without notice after a long bus in from Sapa, he responded quickly and found me a room and set me up for the night in no time at all. Thanks Lila Inn!

If you want to do a loop in ha giang on motorbike, you have to reserve with Lila inn, I assure you will have an amazing experience ! The owner as well as the easy riders are so kind, polite and helpful. They take good care of us while we did a 3 days and 3 nights tour. The hotel is also very clean and beautiful. I also enjoyed the fact that we were a small group (3 people) that allow us to have our own pace, and visit some secrets places 🙏🏼🙌🏼

The easy riders who accompanied us were incredible, making the entire experience unforgettable. We were treated to delicious meals throughout the tour, with vegetarian options available, and stayed in charming homestays along the route. This was such a well-rounded experience that I would happily do it all over again! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a personalized and amazing adventure!
