Topas Ecolodge

We spent 2.5 weeks in Vietnam and stayed at 6 hotels and this was my favourite hotel. It's a bit of a trek from Hanoi, but the shuttle is very comfortable and they picked us up from our hotel. You do need to be staying at a hotel in the old quarter in order to picked up directly from your hotel. We did the hiking tour and the hikes were amazing. It had been raining and it was very muddy and I did slip so make sure you have good shoes. We did borrow rubber boots from the hotel and these were very helpful. We opted for the pool villa and I would highly recommend this. We would wake up in the morning to a view of nothing but clouds and then there would be a break and you could see down into the valley. The pool off of our room was like a hot tub which was lovely. The larger pools had even more amazing views and they were heated as well, but there was a pool that was cooler. The food at every restaurant was so good. If you have a pool villa you can eat breakfast at the 360 degree restaurant. We ate dinner there one evening and it was very good, but the menu was limited and we ended up liking the Stilt House restaurant better because it had more options and in particular more vegetarian options. They had a lovely happy hour each evening. I can see why this hotel is on the National Geographic list of lakes and mountains hotels. Every hotel we stayed at in Vietnam was lovely, but this one was really exceptional due to the incredible location.

A dream stay – best hotel of our Vietnam trip!||This was by far the best hotel we stayed at during our trip to Vietnam. We are a family who travels a lot around the world, and this hotel truly felt like a dream.||We booked the villa with a private pool, and waking up every morning to that view and having a swim felt magical. The butler service was outstanding – always available, attentive, and made our stay even more special.||The spa, the main pool, and all the restaurants were of excellent quality. The service was consistently top-notch, from start to finish.||If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, you have to book this hotel – it will make your experience unforgettable.

Topas Ecolodge is such a beautiful hotel with beautiful landscape. Very uplifting to be inside the mountain. Despite the few negative reviews on service on google, to my surprise, staff were extremely friendly and super helpful. I even forgot our jackets in the hotel and they arranged sending it to Hanoi in their upcoming ride and sent it up to my hotel there. Very appreciated. The reason I didn’t give it 5 is because of the pool villa. Not worth the premium and has the worst view in the full area, especially villas 601 and 602. It feels even a bit not right to charge same money for it. They have limited/ bad view. 601 is fully blocked and 602 you view the start of the cliff. On top, they are next to the road so while you paid for the quietness of the mountain, you hear motorcycles and villagers truck as of 6 am. So hotel is recommended but definitely not the pool villas

Even with the rain, this place was still such a vibe. Stayed in the pool villa and it was perfect. The heated pool hit different with that mountain view. Super peaceful, quiet, and just made me wanna stay in and soak it all in. Didn’t wanna leave at all. Just one of those places you feel completely at peace.

Extraordinary stay, everything is neat, we visited tons of luxurious hotels resorts spas and restaurants, and this hotel wins in every little detail by far!!, it is very clean, well connected to nature, and very stick to main Idea of protection the nature. the pools are worm, the food is veeery delicious fresh and cocked to perfection. The spa isn’t one the best, it’s the best!!!!! Not visiting the spa while being there is a CRIME! |Finding a better hotel is definitely hard.

We loved our visit to Topas Eco Lodge. It's a unique and beautiful place. The views are truly spectacular ( please do come here fully aware that it's on a mountain top and so may be completely clouded over .. more so in winter) . The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The food offering is terrific and broad enough for all tastes over a few days and the team who run it are really amazing people. Kind and helpful throughout our three day stay. The surrounding country and infrastructure is best described as "remote", it's one of the reasons to go there! But .. the mountain roads connecting the lodge can be tricky to navigate. We recommend taking the lodges own transport. The ethos of the lodge and the way it supports the local region and communities is another positive for this place. They also offer interesting excursions to really see the local region and its people. We were glad we went. Highly recommended.

Topas Ecolodge is an absolutely stunning getaway! The location is breathtaking, with incredible views of the surrounding mountains—even though we had some cloudy weather, the scenery was still magical. The infinity pool with 34°C hot water was a highlight, allowing us to relax in comfort despite the cool temperatures. We also loved spending time in the Stilt House, sitting by the open fireplace with a glass of mulled wine—a perfect way to end the evening. The staff was incredibly friendly, always making sure we felt welcome. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of options, and all the facilities had beautiful interior design, adding to the overall cozy and luxurious experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with cooler temperatures, this is the place to be. I absolutely loved it and will definitely come back!

From Sapa Town quite away to the lodge . However when you get there Wow!! You are greeted by smily staff . You are shown to some chairs overlooking breathtaking views. While you wait you are given cinnamon tea and traditional mango cake absolutely delicious. When you locate your room WOW ! You have views from every room. Beautiful simple ethical, sustainable mindset all throughout. Organising treks is easy just ask the staff they are happy to help. When you go on treks outside of the lodge you will come across lovely Red Dao ladies that would like to walk and chat with you . I love to emerse myself in all experiences so I was happy for them to walk and chat I found myself in the rice fields planting rice with these ladies. For me it's an experience that you carnt buy . At the end of the walk the ladies have handmade items they sell. For me personally I prefer to buy straight from the Red Dao people to support them and their families. Makes me very happy and filled in my heart . And I hope they had a great time with me .
