The whole hotel building is like an art gallery, the courtyard is very beautiful!

We stayed in this homestay for 3 nights in January. Upon arrival the hosts were welcoming and helpful and allowed us to check in early. The room was well sized with good ammenities. However, the room got quite cold during the night and the AC does not have a heat setting. They supply you with a small heater but this was not really enough. Suggest including some warmer blankets during winter. We also found the hot water does not last very long so it’s very hard to warm up after a day of scootering in the cold wind. There were also some animals living in our wall so was hard to sleep. The food was good and the ammenities of the place were good too - free bikes and scooters are cheap. They offer laundry and bus booking services too. There are cute kittens that hang around and the general area is nice. The homestay is well located close to Mua Cave and a scooter ride from everything else. Be aware it is very rural and you may see some shocking things around the area that are unrelated to this accomodation (think family violence, dead animals, etc). Overall, good budget accomodation but wouldn’t suggest staying in winter.

Tam Coc de la Montagne resort Our family of four stayed here as part of our Intrepid Tour visit to Vietnam. We occupied two rooms for two nights. Overall our experience was very positive. The beds and pillows were comfortable. All the outlets work and are plentiful. The bathrooms are recently updated. The rooms are very clean with a stocked mini bar and a few complimentary treats and water. The WiFi is free and speedy. We used the laundry service which managed to deliver same day! The kitchen is creating good food! We dined there both nights. The pasta and pizza are as good as you will get anywhere. The salads are fresh and dressings delicious. Breakfast is similar to most hotels in Vietnam with a few fun surprises (onion rings or meatballs, anyone?) The bar is fine and the espresso was satisfying. My wife and daughters took advantage of the spa and enjoyed hair washes and a hot stone experience that was very enjoyable. The service overall is friendly and attentive. The main hall/reception is stunning, they have created a truly welcoming and comfortable place to eat and relax. The grounds are adorned with flower shrubs and cultured trees, making the walk to our room very pleasant. The shower uses a dedicated water heater in the bathroom so be aware that the hot water won't last long. During our visit the pool was still empty as it is undergoing a refresh. There are complimentary bicycles which can be used to tour the area, we used them to view the Buffalo cave and pedal to the Hang Mua lookout. My wife and I occupied a room near the pool which was very quiet at bedtime. My daughters were closer to the entrance so unfortunately were subjected at bedtime to loud karaoke from a neighbouring establishment. My rating is based on value for price and the location and facilities available in this gorgeous part of the world. I'm sure as time goes on the management will continue to improve and refine their offering.

Simple, rustic hotel in Ninh Binh. We stayed here for two nights to explore Ninh Binh. From the start, D, the hotel staff was very prompt in answering our inquiries which was very assuring for a pleasant stay. Our private airport transfer to the hotel went without a hitch. Arriving at the hotel in the morning, we were offered breakfast which was well appreciated. The room was spacious and clean but needs refurbishment. The place is peaceful and quiet. Overall a very good stay.

The family here were super accommodating. From before we arrived the receptionist was messaging asking for our time of arrival what our plans are and suggesting things to do! ☺️ Our washing was done so fast and they also organised a bike for us. Breakfast was lovely and while we were waiting for our bus when we were leaving we were given free refreshments and then a lift into town from the lady for free which she didn’t need to do! Thank you for looking after us so well.

Definitely the best accommodation we’ve had in Vietnam. Our room was large, shower had lots of pressure and hot water endless. Daily bottled water and bathroom amenities. A kettle in the room, however no fridge, there was a fridge in lobby we could use if required. We found our room quiet, comfortable and with French doors opening onto a sitting area (I did notice room #221’s outdoor sitting area was also a passage way to 3 other rooms). Plenty of power points. We were greated every morning by Ha, who manages the hotel. Ha was always cheerful, helpful and one the best hotel staff members I’ve encountered in Vietnam. We did have an issue with the transport from Hanoi the hotel owner organised. A lack of communication and instructions. If you book a driver, he will arrive approx 40mins before the time booked, he will pick you up and drive you to a mini van/bus in Hanoi, which will take you half way to Tam Coc, then you swap to another van/bus. Suggest you get a confirmation of pick up time from the owner (which will vary to the time you book, and be prepared for a couple of vehicle changes.) All comfortable vehicles but a bit confusing if you’re unaware. We would definitely recommend Little Tam Coc Boutique Hotel.

Unfortunately, our two night experience here wasn't as good as we'd hoped from looking at the photos and reviews on Tripadvisor. Upon arrival, staff seemed friendly and helped us up to our room with our bags. We booked a double room which was located one floor up from the reception. There was no noise from the reception area itself but we got very little sleep due to dogs barking throughout the night (all windows were closed). The room itself was a little dated and not the cleanest of hotel rooms (though it could have been worse). There were stains on the blinds, walls, bedding and fabric chair which were a little gross. Hot water worked fine for us and the minibar was restocked with the water which we had used. Staff were friendly when we saw them, but their presence was lacking at times and the hotel seemed very quiet. We were looking forward to sitting out on the large balcony up top (from which the views were stunning) but this area seemed neglected with the bar closed and no guests using it which was sad since we were looking forward to spending evenings chatting to others and relaxing as per the photos we'd seen. We can't comment on food as we didn't eat at the restaurant, though no one seemed to eat there in the evening. We borrowed bicycles (free of charge) from the hotel which was a brilliant way of seeing some of the phenomenal local area. Overall, our experience here wasn't great but it may have been a different story if we'd booked a better room on the other side of the hotel away from the noise of the dogs!

The best part of this hotel was the location. It’s in a quieter part of Tam Coc about 10 minutes’ walk from the centre. It’s on the main road, but you are one street back and there are rice fields right behind you. Tam Coc town itself isn’t that nice. Super touristy and tacky but it’s where most the restaurants and shops are so it’s nice being in a spot where it’s accessible, but you can also escape. The hotel itself is nice but definitely 3-star. That’s not a critique as it doesn’t sell itself as higher than that, but I think some of the photos flatter it a bit. The pool area is beautiful, overlooking the rice fields. Rooms are clean and a good size but a little worn. The staff and owner are lovely. English isn’t strong even by Vietnamese standards, so needed to use the translator app a fair bit but was never a problem. They have free bicyles to rent and they are good quality. I was impressed. You can get to most of the main sites from the hotel by peddle bike if you have a basic level of fitness. Motor scooters can also be rented for cheap. A couple of small opportunities for the hotel. It took me 3 days to get hand soap in my room. I did ask and got told it’s on the wall. Only saw body wash on the wall so assumed that’s all there was but the cleaners eventually noticed and put in hand soap. Also, the fridge wasn’t working throughout the duration of my stay. Thirdly, the hotel has those bathtub showers but no curtain or screen so it’s impossible to shower without soaking the bathroom floor. Should put some in. Would be an easy fix. Overall, I would recommend the hotel. It is good value and in a great location. Thanks for having me. I definitely enjoyed my stay!
