Escape to Dalat: Memoir Homestay – Where Comfort Meets Chaotic Charm (A Review That's Probably Too Honest)
Okay, folks, buckle up. This isn't your typical sanitized hotel review. This is the real deal, warts and all, about Escape to Dalat: Unveiling the Secrets of Memoir Homestay. And honestly? I’m still processing it. Dalat itself is a rollercoaster, and this place… well, it’s the rusty old car you choose to ride it in. But in the best possible way.
Accessibility: The Good, the Bad, and the "Huh?"
Let's get the practical stuff out of the way. Accessibility? Well, technically they say Facilities for disabled guests. BUT, and this is a big but, you're in Dalat. Dalat is built on hills. Lots and lots of hills. From what I saw, reaching Memoir Homestay itself isn't terrible, but navigating within the property? Let's just say a wheelchair user might need to channel their inner mountain goat. Elevator? Yep. That's a plus. Exterior corridor? I think so, but I wandered around so much, my sense of direction is shot.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Didn't see anything specifically labeled, but the staff were beyond helpful. I imagine they'd bust their butts to accommodate someone.
Getting Connected (or Not):
Okay, tech junkies, listen up. Internet access – wireless? Yes, free in all rooms! Praise be! Internet [LAN]? Probably there, somewhere. I spent most of my time lost in a good book, so I can't honestly remember. Wi-Fi in public areas? Yep, worked well. Internet services? Seemed fine. You could probably stream cat videos if that’s your jam. (Although, I'd suggest embracing the Dalat vibe and leave the cats at home. Just a thought.)
Cleanliness & Safety: They Seem to Care… A Lot.
Look, post-pandemic, everyone is extra cautious about this stuff. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Professional-grade sanitizing services… the list goes on. They're REALLY on it. It’s almost too clean. (Kidding, mostly.) I noticed Hand sanitizer everywhere, which is always a win. They also have Hygiene certification. And if you're paranoid, you even have the option to opt-out of Room sanitization. The Staff trained in safety protocol, too. So, if you're a germaphobe, this place might be heaven. They are seriously committed to Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They’ve got First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call. Sounds reassuring, right?
They even have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. No need to worry about the ghosts of Dalat's past. Unless they are the friendly kind.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Belly Says "Yes!"
This is where Memoir Homestay really shines. Forget bland hotel fare. This place has serious culinary game.
- Restaurants: Several! The Asian cuisine is amazing, and the Vegetarian restaurant options (which I love!) were surprisingly good.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Standard buffet is available, a real treat! Asian breakfast, Western breakfast,. The Coffee shop is serving the best Coffee/tea in restaurant.
- Room service [24-hour]: Available! Perfect for those midnight snack attacks.
- Poolside bar: Yep. Perfect for a sunset cocktail. Happy hour? I think so. (My memories are hazy.)
- Snack bar? Plenty of snacks to keep you going.
- Desserts in restaurant? Definitely!
Speaking of food, let me tell you about this one meal. I’ll never forget their soup. And the salad. Oh, the salad. It was the best I've eaten in a long time. Simple, fresh, bursting with flavor. It was practically a religious experience. I'm not even a huge salad person, but this one… it was perfect. It's that kind of detail, of genuine care and attention to the food, that sets this place apart.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Or, How I Accidentally Became a Spa Addict):
Alright, here’s the juicy stuff. Memoir Homestay is NOT just a place to sleep. It’s a destination. And a seriously relaxing one.
- Spa/sauna: Yes, yes, and YES.
- Massage: Oh, the massages. I spent half my time in the spa. I’m not even ashamed. They have Body scrub, Body wrap, the works.
- Pool with view: Amazing. The view is absolutely breathtaking.
- Steamroom: Relaxing, yes, but it was a bit too hot.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Cool and refreshing.
I’m usually a "go-go-and-do-all-the-things" kind of traveler, but at Memoir Homestay, I embraced the art of doing… absolutely nothing. I am not a spa person, but I was hooked!
Services and Conveniences: They Got You Covered
Memoir Homestay really thinks of everything.
- Concierge? Incredibly helpful.
- Daily housekeeping? Immaculate.
- Laundry service? Necessary after all the spa treatments.
- Currency exchange? Always handy.
- Cash withdrawal? Convenient.
For the Kids: Family Friendly Fun
The place seemed to cater well to families. There is also a Babysitting service. No kids for me this time though.
Rooms: My Home Away From Home (With a Few Quirks)
Okay, the rooms. They're comfortable, spacious, and… well, let's just say they have character.
- Air conditioning? Absolutely essential.
- Free bottled water? Always a good thing.
- Wi-Fi [free]? Yep, works perfectly.
- Blackout curtains? Essential for sleeping in after a massage (which I did, a LOT).

- Wake-up service? Honestly, I just let the staff wake me when it was time to head to the spa.
The Imperfections, the Quirks, and My Honest Opinion:
Look, Memoir Homestay isn’t perfect. There's some slight structural issues. Maybe a little peeling paint here and there. But that’s part of its charm. It feels real, lived-in, and genuinely welcoming. The staff? They're amazing. They treat you like family, anticipate your needs, and are genuinely passionate about making your stay memorable. They have a Convenience store if you need something.
The only real minor thing? The stairs. There are stairs. Lots of them. I’m not complaining, I need the exercise with all that amazing food.

Memoir Homestay Dalat: A Gloriously Messy Itinerary (and My Existential Crisis in a Flower Farm)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your typical "perfect" travelogue. This is my Dalat diary, warts and all, filled with more questionable decisions than a karaoke night fueled by cheap rice wine. We’re talking Memoir Homestay – and a love-hate relationship with its very floral decor, and a city that simultaneously charmed and nearly broke me.
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic (or, Why Did I Book This Place?)
- Morning: Landed in Da Lat. The airport? Tiny. The air? Crisp. Already better than the sweaty, chaotic Hanoi I'd just escaped. Took a pre-booked taxi. The driver gave me the side-eye when I couldn't remember my homestay address immediately. My brain was basically a scrambled egg thanks to the overnight flight.
- Afternoon: Arrived at Memoir Homestay. First impression? Roses. Everywhere. Seriously, I think there were more roses than tourists. It was…a lot. My room? Cute, in a "your grandma's guest room meets a floral explosion" kind of way. Initially, I thought, "Okay, this is…different." Later that night, after the third rose bush I'd nearly walked into: "DEAR GOD, HOW MUCH ROSE POTPOURRI IS TOO MUCH ROSE POTPOURRI?"
- Late Afternoon: Wandered aimlessly down the streets. Found a banh mi cart. The pork was questionable (I'm pretty sure it winked at me), but the baguette? Heaven. Devoured it with the speed of a starving badger. Felt a tiny sliver of calm return.
- Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant. Ordered way too much pho. Failed spectacularly at using chopsticks. Spilled broth down my chin. Felt like a colossal idiot. Ended up laughing until tears streamed down my face. Maybe Dalat wasn't so bad after all. Maybe I was just a hot mess.
Day 2: Lakeside Serenity (and a Near-Disaster on a Scooty)
- Morning: Woke up to the scent of roses (and the faint aroma of mildew? Seriously, Memoir Homestay, sort it out). Breakfast was delicious – fresh fruit, strong Vietnamese coffee that could raise the dead. Got chatting to the other guests, a couple from Germany, and a solo traveler from Japan. They were way more put-together than I was. Felt the familiar twinge of travel envy.
- Late Morning: Rented a scooty (a scooter, for those unfamiliar with the local lingo). Thinking: "I'm a strong, independent woman! I can handle a scooter!" Reality: Struggled to get it off the parking stand. Almost crashed into a strategically placed flower pot. Managed to navigate the crazy Dalat traffic, mostly by sheer luck and a healthy dose of panic. Scariest thing was navigating the hills!
- Afternoon: Tuyen Lam Lake. This place…THIS PLACE! The photos don't do it justice. It's stunning. Seriously, breathtaking. Spent hours just staring, letting my worries melt away. Had a picnic of bread, cheese, and a bottle of the local passion fruit juice. Felt a profound sense of peace. Then, while attempting a selfie with the lake as a backdrop, nearly dropped my phone in the water. Recovered it just in time. My heart was still pounding an hour later.
- Late Afternoon: Dinner at a restaurant recommended by the German couple. The food was incredible. The conversation was even better. Actually felt like I was making friends. Maybe I wasn’t a complete human disaster, after all.
- Evening: Back at Memoir Homestay. Rose potpourri suffocating me. Had a glass of wine and sat on the balcony watching the city lights twinkling. Felt the beginning of a bad cold (maybe the mildew?).
Day 3: The Flower Farm Frenzy (and the Existential Breakdown)
- Morning: Colds were fully developed. Woke up with a sore throat and a nose like a leaky faucet. Decided to ignore it and press on like a true soldier. Visited a local flower farm…or rather, a zillion flower farms. Dalat is known for its flowers. And the farms are huge.
- Late Morning: THE FLOWER FARM OVERSATURATION. I think I saw every flower imaginable. Roses (again!), sunflowers, lilies… you name it, they bloomed. It started out beautiful. Then, the sheer volume of blooms started to… hit me. The manicured perfection of it all. The Instagram potential that felt absolutely toxic for my mental health.
- Afternoon: THE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS BEGINS. I stared at a field of perfectly aligned tulips. And… I started to cry. Not a little "tears welling up" kind of cry. A full-blown, snot-dripping, mascara-running, ugly cry. I felt overwhelmed. By the flowers. By the expectations of the world. By the sheer, pointless beauty of it all. I felt utterly lost. My cold made everything feel even worse.
- Late Afternoon: REDEMPTION (and a Delicious Soup). Found a quiet corner and sat and just let it all out. Then, I was lucky enough to get the help of a kind old woman and eventually, I walked to a little restaurant and order myself a big bowl of canh chua (sour soup). One bite. The sour punch of the tamarind, the freshness of the vegetables and the warmth of the broth… and I realized I was also in a good mood. The soup was the best medicine. It cured me!
- Evening: Feeling a tiny bit better. Visited the night market and ate some street food. The best thing by far was the grilled corn! Went back to the homestay and stared at those roses again. Maybe I'd learned something. Or maybe I'd just become hopelessly allergic to them. I didn't care.
Day 4: Coffee, Chaos, and Goodbye (or, The Rose Curse Lingers)
- Morning: Decided to visit a coffee plantation. Coffee is vital. The drive out was gorgeous. So worth it! The coffee was strong. I felt alive again.
- Late Morning: Coffee Plantation + Waterfall! The scenery was epic. Then, back to Memoir Homestay, sadly.
- Afternoon: Packed, sadly. Said goodbye to the staff. And the roses. Took a moment to appreciate the weird, floral wonderland. Maybe it wasn't so bad, after all.
- Late Afternoon: Da Lat airport again. Smaller than ever. The trip was nearly over.
- Evening: On the bus. Exhausted. Happy. And somehow, still finding rose petals in my bag. The Memoir Homestay curse? Maybe.
Final Thoughts:
Da Lat was a whirlwind. Beautiful, chaotic, and undeniably challenging. Did I love Memoir Homestay? That's a complex question involving roses, mildew, and existential dread. Would I recommend it? If you’re looking for an experience that’s a little different, and you don't mind a few (hundred) roses, then absolutely. Just bring a good supply of tissues. And maybe an allergy medication. And maybe, just maybe, embrace the beautiful, messy chaos of it all. Because that, my friends, is the true essence of travel. (And probably a good deal of therapy, too.)
