FAQ ( "Frequently Asked Questions)

I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

Solo travel is taking off. More and more adventurers are forging their own path and travelling alone as part of a group tour. And it’s no wonder. With the confidence you gain from seeing the world on your terms, solo travel gives you a sense of freedom like nothing else.

We’ll match you with the group having suit your departure time, so you can share the tour cost. About single supplements like accommodation, most of our homestay have a single mattress so it’s very convenient for solo travel. If you want to upgrade a private room, the small surcharge can be accepted.
If at the departure time you want, we haven’t had any other group, you can book in advance or deposit to keep a sit. We will inform you of the update or customized suitable or better options.

There isn’t electricity, internet or phone wireless, no hot water, no WC. But one night to merge nature and avoid modern life is an unforgettable and interesting experience.

As the condition in the mountain is harder than in the city, so we just can serve simple meals but enough energy for your trekking trip. Our meals are Vietnamese food with a balance between Meat, vegetable, rice and fruit.

We had a very nice hike with Nghia at Ta Xua Mountain, the landscapes were breathtaking. Everything was perfectly well-organised, although we came as a group of 11 people. Homestay is very cosy and meals delicious.
I highly recommend Nghia as a guide to discover the area, thanks for this amazing weekend !

We had such a great time at Zoni Homestay! Nghia was already very kind with helping us to get to and from Tram Tau, and extremely welcoming during the stay. We also did the 2D1N Trekking Ta Xua with them and really enjoyed the whole experience 🙂 we would highly recommend the homestay and the tour to anyone!

Our group of 11 had an unforgettable 2D1N hiking experience up Ta Xua, and we were lucky to enjoy breathtaking views on both days.

From start to finish, communication with Nghia was seamless. She was incredibly responsive prior to the trek and went out of her way to accommodate us. She was so sweet and welcoming, and made us feel safe and well-cared for throughout the hike. Nghia’s knowledge of the area and Vietnam’s rich culture truly enriched our journey and we learned so much from her. We really enjoyed conversing with her during our journey!

The homestay was absolutely charming. It was so cozy, comfortable, and the perfect place to rest before and after our hike.

The hut that we stayed at atop the mountain has a beautiful view of the scenery. Though cold, we still had a long, comfortable sleep with mattresses and thick weighted blankets provided for us.

The food they prepared was scrumptious, and they made sure we were always well-fed with delicious, home-cooked meals.

A delightful bonus were the playful dogs at both the homestay and along the trail. They added a fun, lighthearted touch to the experience and were an unexpected joy.

This trip exceeded all expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, immersive, and well-organised adventure.

Solo traveler. Great communication with Nghai prior to the trip to Taxua as this place is still quite an untapped part of Vietnam. The transport and accommodation are well organized and I had a lovely time in Zonihomes. For the trekking trip in Taxua, Lan was a good mountain guide and I was blessed with great weather to see the best of Taxua. Indeed it was a worthy trip and everyone coming here should connect with Zoni trip. Perhaps the next round I should try the other peak of Ta Chu Ni.

A must visit for the adventure seekers!
We spent 2 days trekking up to Ta Xua peak, and the experience was impeccable thanks to our guides Nghia and Lang. They were knowledgeable and experienced, and ensured that we were safe throughout the trek. Nghia is a warm guide who was always ready to share about Vietnamese culture and sightings along our trek. Lang too, was a caring porter who guided us through the difficult parts of the trek, especially the dinosaur spine, which can be challenging for first time climbers. Not to mention, the captivating mountain landscape made the moderately difficult trek worthwhile! Highly recommend this trekking tour with Zonitrip for the adventure seekers.
