PearnaurHEAVEN ON EARTH! 🌿⛰️✨
This place feels like something straight out of a dream! Surrounded by the majestic limestone mountains that Ninh Binh is famous for, this hotel is the perfect little escape if you’re looking for peace, nature, and a chance to slow down. I only stayed for one night, and honestly, I already wish I had booked more!
Here’s why I loved it:
📍 Location & Atmosphere
The scenery is absolutely magical. The hotel is surrounded by towering limestone mountains and lush greenery, creating such a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve escaped into another world. It’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and simply enjoy being present.
However, keep in mind that the location is a little secluded. The nearest restaurants are about a 5–8-minute motorbike ride away, so I’d recommend having a meal before checking in or planning your meals ahead of time.
Personally, this wasn’t an issue for me because I came to Ninh Binh to explore Trang An Ecotourism and, more importantly, to enjoy some peace and quiet at the hotel. And this place delivered exactly what I was looking for!
One little suggestion for the hotel, though: it would be amazing if you could sell some instant food, such as cup noodles, instant porridge, or simple snacks. Since the hotel is a little secluded, having these options available would be super convenient for guests who get hungry at night or just want a quick meal without having to leave the property. I think this small addition would make the experience even better!
Honestly, just imagine spending your afternoon lounging by the pool, surrounded by those incredible mountains, with nothing urgent to do and nowhere else you need to be. That’s the kind of peace this place offers. 🌿
🛏️ Room & Cleanliness
Overall, the room was comfortable and had all the essentials I needed. Some areas were a little dusty, but it didn’t bother me much or affect my overall experience.
I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities they provided, including a bathrobe for swimming and even a comb. These little details made the stay more convenient and comfortable.
🫶 Service & Hospitality
I was welcomed by NauDen (if I remember his name correctly), a gentleman with glasses who was incredibly friendly and helpful. He even recommended some local places to have dinner, which I really appreciated.
The breakfast was also great! I especially loved that they included Vietnamese dishes, giving me the chance to enjoy local cuisine in the morning rather than just having a standard Western-style breakfast.
The combination of friendly service and delicious food made the experience even better.
💰 Value for Money
ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! ❤️
For me, this place is more than just a hotel. It’s an experience. You’re paying for the beautiful natural surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the opportunity to disconnect from the usual busyness of life.
Of course, the secluded location means you’ll need to plan your meals and transportation a little more carefully. But if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat surrounded by nature, I think it’s absolutely worth considering.
🌤️ Overall Experience
I REGRET BOOKING ONLY ONE NIGHT! 😭❤️
This place genuinely felt like a little piece of heaven on earth. Spending time by the pool, surrounded by those magnificent limestone mountains, and simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere made my stay feel almost unreal.
Sometimes, you visit a place to see the sights, but you find somewhere that makes you wish you could just stay a little longer. This was one of those places for me.
I came to Ninh Binh for the landscapes and Trang An, but this hotel became one of the highlights of my trip.
Leaving felt like being an angel who had to return to Earth after a brief vacation in heaven. 😂
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Ninh Binh where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a little slice of paradise, this place is for you. I just wish I could have stayed longe

Mari MontaI booked Tam Coc Center Luxury Hotel & Villa at the last minute and was happy that they confirmed my reservation so quickly.
The location was very convenient, just a few minutes’ walk from the boat station for the Tam Coc tours, with restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Although the hotel is close to the main road, the interior area itself was surprisingly quiet. The hotel is also 15-20mins drive to Trang An.
It rained heavily during my stay and several roads around Tam Coc were flooded. Thankfully, the road directly in front of the hotel remained clear, which made pick-ups and drop-offs much easier. I saw other hotels with flooded access roads, so I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting during rainy weather.
There is also a cosy bar and coffee shop inside the hotel that serves until 10 pm. The seating area was comfortable and especially convenient on nights when the rain was too heavy to go out.
The reception and housekeeping staff, as well as the man serving at the bar in the evenings, were all very polite, friendly, and helpful. They also spoke great English. However, I had a different experience with some of the breakfast staff. I noticed that they seemed friendly and more attentive toward Western guests but mostly just stared at me. I am Asian and could possibly be mistaken for Vietnamese, so I did not expect to feel treated differently. I hope this was only an isolated experience.
The room was clean, the TV worked properly, and the air-conditioning was great. All the usual toiletries were provided, along with a hair dryer, bathrobe, and even umbrellas guests could use.
There were two other things I really disliked about my room. It was located along a brightly lit corridor, and even with the blinds closed, a lot of light still seeped into the room. If you have difficulty sleeping in a bright room, I would suggest requesting a room away from the corridor. The slippers provided were also extremely uncomfortable and actually painful to wear. The hotel should really replace them with something softer and more practical.
Despite these issues, the convenient location, clean room, quiet atmosphere, and easy access during heavy rain made it a good place to stay in Tam Coc.

A great place when you do not want to be in the chaotic tourist area. It has a beautiful view, a swimming pool (warm water though), free bicycles (15 min to Bich Dong Pagoda) and because there is no late evening food places around we just ordered Grab food 😂. Always on airco which is great for clothes drying and breakfast had this perfect Pho and many other options.

Stefan BreevoortWe had a fantastic stay at this lovely eco-hotel. The rooms are situated in charming, traditional Vietnamese-style cottages set within a gorgeous, lush garden, and the property features multiple swimming pools.
The location is practically right next to the Van Long Nature Reserve entrance, which is a huge advantage—it allowed us to take an early morning boat trip when chances of spotting the rare Delacour's langurs are highest.
Because it was raining during our stay, we decided to have dinner at the resort's restaurant, and we were so glad we did! The food was delicious with a wide variety of choices. A special shout-out to Loan, who served us with so much humor, warm hospitality, and fun, making it a truly memorable and delightful evening.
All in all, this is the absolute perfect base for visiting both Van Long Nature Reserve and Cuc Phuong National Park. Highly recommended!

I'm a solo backpacker and I'm used to staying in small hostels. Wow, what a difference! It feels so good to be back in comfort!
These are very comfortable bungalows. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable, the air conditioning works perfectly, as does the Wi-Fi. The bathroom is spacious and hot water is readily available. There's even a swimming pool.
The location is really nice: the hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the Tam Coc pier. This location allows you to be away from the hustle and bustle, in a very peaceful environment surrounded by rice paddies. There's no view directly from the hotel, but the surrounding area is beautiful and pleasant to explore. There are also several restaurants nearby.
Breakfast is excellent, prepared on-site with several options to choose from. I particularly recommend the honey pancakes, which were delicious. They are served with fresh fruit and juice.
It's also possible to rent scooters or bicycles, as well as book transfers and various activities directly on site.
I highly recommend this place, whether you're a solo backpacker looking for a comfortable break, a couple, or a family. The quality-to-comfort ratio is excellent. The family who runs the place is very kind, welcoming, and always ready to help.

We had a wonderful stay over the Tet holiday. The hotel is located in downtown Tam Coc but just off a small side street, so little to no street noise from the main road.
The room was just as pictured, very spacious and welcoming. Kettle and fridge are provided. No tea or coffee in the room but available in the reception area. We had a mountain view and little balcony area where we could watch fireworks on Tet eve. Breakfast was made to order and there were many choices to pick from. We loved the omelette and baguette.
The service and hospitality of the owners was amazing. Even though they had may guests, we still felt cared for. We were able to do laundry with them, they rented a scooter to us for 3 days and provided a nice map of the area with notable landmarks. We highly recommend staying here if you visit Ninh Binh.

Cathy’sWe also stayed at this hotel in Ninh Binh. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, although there were a few things that could be improved.
The location is good, surrounded by beautiful greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. The road leading to the hotel is a bit bumpy, but it’s manageable. We stayed in a bungalow, which was comfortable, and the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help.
The only issue with the bungalow was the strong smell of incense. It was noticeable throughout our stay and didn’t seem to disappear. I’m quite sensitive to strong scents, so it was a little uncomfortable for me. I’m not sure whether it was used to keep mosquitoes away or for another reason.
Our biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. Unfortunately, it didn’t look very clean. We noticed insects floating in the water, including a cockroach, and there was quite a lot of kids, so we decided not to swim.
Apart from those issues, the hotel was enjoyable. The peaceful surroundings, lush greenery, and kind staff made for a relaxing stay. If the pool were maintained better and the strong incense smell reduced, the experience would have been much better.

A very friendly family runs this small homestay. We felt very comfortable. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. A delicious breakfast was also provided, and if the weather is warm enough, you can use the pool. Otherwise, it's also pleasant to relax on the sun lounger in front of the pool. Many thanks to the whole family who run this homestay and ensured we had a wonderful stay.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at La Lua Resort Ninh Binh. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and thoughtfully designed. The rooms are immaculate, very spacious, and the bed
was extremely comfortable. Overall, the room, including the decor, was perfect.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They assisted us in arranging taxis to and from the resort, everything went smoothly, and the service throughout our stay was excellent.
The pool and the general environment of the hotel are also perfect – peaceful, relaxing, and very well maintained. The resort is only a few minutes from the city center, but its location is very quiet and calm, which makes it ideal for a relaxing vacation in Ninh Binh.
There are also free bicycles available, which is a great way to explore the surrounding area. In addition, there is an on-site restaurant, so you can easily have lunch and dinner at the hotel if you prefer not to go elsewhere. The food is very good and the breakfast is excellent. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel.

Gennadiy PestovGood hotel, very responsive staff who tried their best to help with everything. There's a cool rooftop pool with a nice view.
What was a bit annoying was that there's no proper access road/path to the hotel – minibuses don't go there. And just to get anywhere, you have to wade through a huge puddle (which you can't go around). But maybe this is only an issue during the rainy season when we were there.
The shower isn't separated, so after using it, the toilet and all the surrounding floor get wet.
For breakfast, there's only one dish and one drink to choose from.
