"The family that runs this homestay is very warm and friendly. The room was big (surprising for Vietnam!), modern and clean. The best part for us was the view. The limestone mountains and the river we could see out our windows and door were just so picturesque. The location is away from the main homestay areas (although very close to Hoa Lu and the Trang An Boat Ride entrance) as well as any shops. They have a decent food offering, we found it useful to supplement with eating in town and bringing...

"Had a wonderful stay. The friendliness of Thanh and his family is what stood out the most. The local excursions, the home-cooked meals, a refreshing dip in the pool after a hot day, and being greeted by their dog were other highlights. I especially enjoyed the bike ride through the rice fields."

"Lily was an amazing host, she knew English and was very helpful with providing information about the surrounding area. My room was big, clean, had, ac, and she provides a great breakfast menu. During my last day I had a 10:30pm sleeper bus ride and she let me keep my luggage at her place and even offered me a shower before I left. Lily is such a sweet person and I highly suggest her homestay. She has a super cute dog too."

"Anh and the ninh binh palm homestay provided us with one of our most memorable stays in vietnam. Anh is fluent in english and more than willing to provide assistance in booking further transport or suggesting activities in the surrounding areas. We were able to hire a scooter from the homestay for a very fair price which helped us greatly. The room was very clean, the bathroom was perfect with high pressure hot water in the shower. I cant recommended this place highly enough and I am sure we...

"Ce logement était excellent ! Le personnel est au top. Malheureusement nous n’avons pas pu profiter de la piscine a cause du temps et des travaux qu’il y avait, mais je recommande fortement cet établissement."

"I really enjoyed the location and the family is so kind! The location is walkable to the center of town where you can catch a grab/taxi or visit resturants and shops. The homestay also has scooters or bike rentals, and the breakfast was made fresh. "

"Tam Coc Gardens is truly one of Ninh Binh’s most mesmerizing hidden gems—and an experience I will never forget. What I discovered here far exceeded my expectations. After nearly 2-weeks of traveling through Vietnam, this was the perfect place to end my journey. It was more than a retreat; it was a total reset of my whole being.
As a solo traveler, I was initially a little nervous about the secluded location. But once I arrived, I understood the magic. Just minutes from town, yet beautifully tucked away, the lush gardens, water, architecture, tranquility, and warmth of the staff created an atmosphere that felt almost spiritual.
My room was absolutely magical and even reminded me of my home in Ghana. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the spacious bed and soothing bedding to the tea, snacks, writing paper, meditation space, fan and AC. The evening turndown, love story card & thoughtful notes were beautiful touches.
The food was exceptional—especially the breakfast, which was the best I experienced during my 2-weeks in Vietnam. The fish dishes at dinner were beautifully presented & delicious. The complimentary Garden Eco-Tour & rice-ball class were wonderful, & the spa treatments were pure bliss.
A special thank-you to Phuong for his kindness, attentiveness, and wonderful service.
Tam Coc Gardens isn’t simply a resort, It is a sanctuary—a place to breathe, reconnect, reflect & simply be. I arrived curious and left restored.
I will absolutely return in 2027!"
"We had a wonderful stay at Tam Coc Oasis resort and spa, and didn’t want to leave! The staff were amazing, so friendly and we felt so looked after and like family. Special thanks to Lily, Sophia, Vivianne, Huyen for your smiles and hospitality everyday! 100% recommend this hotel. The food was lovely, the room was so relaxing, clean and comfortable and the bath was a special treat. The air-conditioning worked very well and the view from our balcony was spectacular. I particularly liked watching the dragonflies dance above the pool in the mornings! Thank you again, we hope to be back!"
"We stayed at La Lua Resort for two nights. The room was well appointed with great views of the rice fields and mountains, and the staff were attentive. If you want to unplug and relax on site, it is a great choice.
A few things to keep in mind:
Location: It is 15+ km from Tam Coc, where most of the action and food options are. Bike rental services would not deliver to the hotel, so we had to take a Grab into town to rent bikes and eat.
Value: As the most expensive stay of our 6-hotel trip, the breakfast and afternoon tea fell short of expectations for the price point.
Great spot to unwind, but factor in the distance if you plan to explore Tam Coc."
"This is a little slice of paradise. One of those rare places you feel emotional leaving.
Staff was so kind, helpful. We are so glad we decided to stay a little outside the city, Grabs always showed up within 5 min even faster at times. Would soooo recommend this place. The animals on the property are precious and extremely good food at the restaurant.
Honestly we had to force ourselves to leave it was so peaceful."
"The owners are amazing! If you are looking for a beautiful stay, clean room, great AC, great home cooked breakfast, coffee, water bottles and 10 star hospitality! They even have a gorgeous puppy on site, goats on the mountain side, and a beautiful view for even your bathroom.
We were about a 10-15 min Grab ride from all of the tours and things to do.
A peaceful getaway which was perfect for us!"
