I'm Japanese.
If you're going on a Ha Giang Loop tour, I definitely recommend using the one organized by this hostel!
I was the only one who left this hostel, but other hostel guests joined us at the departure point, so this time we were a small group of about 8 people including me. It was easy to move around and comfortable.
The other companies were moving with about twice as many people, so it seemed quite difficult.
On the first day, I stayed in a homestay, and on the second day, I stayed in a dormitory on the top floor of the hotel. Both were comfortable, and the showers worked without any problems. Toothbrushes, shampoo, body soap, and towels are provided, so you don't need to bring them with you.
We eat meals with the group every time, but we enjoyed Vietnamese home cooking for lunch and dinner, which we all shared. The portions were plenty and the taste was good. For breakfast, you can also choose Western food such as pancakes.
The Easy Rider driver drove with safety as his top priority, so I felt safe. We had a driver who spoke English, so we had no trouble communicating.
There were no Asians in the Ha Giang area, let alone Japanese people, but it was a wonderful trip that will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.
