Cinnamon Eco Lodge

Really nice place to stay. Clean, new bungalows with a balcony looking into the great smelling cinnamon plantation. Good mattresses etc. You eat with the very friendly English speaking family and can make a nice 1,5 hour walk in the quiet countryside behind the lodge.

After a truly unforgettable stay at Cinnamon Eco Lodge, I simply had to share my experiences with other travelers who yearn for an authentic Vietnamese journey. Nestled in an unspoiled, serene village, far from the bustling tourist crowds, this gem of a place will transport you into the warm embrace of genuine Vietnamese culture and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, Gioi, Hue, and their lovely family welcomed us with open arms, instantly making us feel like cherished guests in their home. Their boundless knowledge and passion for their community's heritage and customs only served to deepen our love for this enchanting corner of Vietnam. During our stay, we were fortunate enough to have Gioi as our personal guide. His captivating tours through verdant rice fields and the local village were nothing short of mesmerizing. He unveiled the magic of the region with each step we took, and we learned so much about the local flora, fauna, and cultural practices. On the culinary front, Hue and her mother treated us to an explosion of flavors with their delightful, home-cooked Vietnamese dishes. Each meal was a delectable journey, showcasing the rich and diverse tastes of their homeland. Cinnamon Eco Lodge's accommodations were surprisingly modern and comfortable, given its rustic location. The rooms were immaculate, with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay. Trust me, after a day of exploring, you'll appreciate the comfort and serenity this haven provides. For those seeking a truly immersive Vietnamese experience, I cannot recommend Cinnamon Eco Lodge highly enough. It's a must-visit destination that will forever hold a special place in your heart. Pro Tips: Make sure to book Gioi as your tour guide, as his expertise is unmatched. Additionally, don't miss the local market on Saturdays, where you'll have the rare opportunity to mingle with the villagers and be the center of attention!

Our family of 5 was having to rebook after the original accommodation in Sapa region was damaged by floods and we chose Cinnamon Eco Lodge. What a piece of luck. Our group took the 2 new bungalows. Parents with 2 yr old in one and grandparents in the other. Gioi met us early in the morning at Bao Ha station and had a minibus to take us to the Lodge. This began one of the most remarkable parts of our month in Viet Nam. The Lodge is on the family property near the village of Vinh Yen. Our 3 night stay including walks, village market, inclusion in family dinners and insights into rural life. We learned how to harvest and prepare a cinnamon tree. The host family interestingly mirrored our own with grandparents, parents and a 7 year old girl. Gioi was a great email communicator. He booked all the transport from Hanoi and back. Totally honest, no surprises and very affordable. I strongly recommend Cinnamon Eco Lodge. It provides a beautiful contrast to the bustle of city life.

Nous avons passé 3 nuits à l ecolodge. Nous n'avons croisé aucun touriste dans les alentours. Les chambres sont tres confortables. Le lieu est calme mais trop europeanisé à notre gout. Nous avons choisi de faire le trek à la journee de 12 à 17 km ( qui est un joli budget pour 3 à la journée) mais en réalité nous n en n avons fait que 6km.. nous l avons signalé à Gioi qui a eu un geste commercial mais malheureusement pas à la hauteur de la deception de cette journée perdue. ( Peux etre avais je trop d attente de ce lieu trouvé sur un blog).
