Homestay Ba Be lakes

Road conditions in the North of Vietnam are not very good. The trip to Babe Lake, which is 150 miles (250 km) from Hanoi, will take you several hours. You will get to Babe Lake town in the afternoon. Most visitors sleep in a local house. If you are traveling with a guide, he will take care of everything. He will guide you to your home stay, and do all the paperwork. Remember that you need a permit to sleep in a private house. 

Local houses are made of wood. They are very simple. Beds are not very comfortable, and rooms can be rather noisy. But sleeping with locals in such a remote place is an experience I do recommend. Bring insect repellent and ear plugs.

Home stay accommodation in Ba Be is quite good and very reasonable. Tasty meals prepared with home grown vegetable, fresh fishes from the nearby river and home raised eggs.
