I am traveling solo and I stayed in a blue pod type of accomodations. It's "glamping" at it's best. It's so nice, clean and high tech, including an automatic bidet. The Homestay is beautiful with beautiful plants, trees and pond. The lights at night really make this place looks like a fairy land! The staff here are so nice and helpful! Thank you Lucas and Max for taking care of me during my stay!

Lovely place and quite remote. About 15 minutes drive towards sites in Ninh Binh. We were freezing though. Had to sleep with an electric blanket and the heating on all night. So better to stay when it’s not as cold. We visited in January.

Super friendly staff going above and beyond to help with anything you need. They booked the full day local tour for us which was fantastic with a local guide and I would highly recommend.
Rooms were comfortable and large. Coffee for breakfast was superb. Breakfast itself limited but sufficient.
Visit Hoa Lu old town (8 min. Grab ride) by the river for a nice river front walk with tons of restaurants and super friendly people.

Good location. Lots to see and do near by. Resort has potential but is more of a mom and pop quality . Nice chickens, ducks animals of lost kinds around. Restaurant is pricy with small portions . Cheap scooter rentals but ours had no working gas gauge or speedometer. Dogs barking all night and paper thin walls transmit all voices and noises . I would stay again but not for everyone.

If you are looking for a Four Season style hotel then this is not your spot. But if you are looking for “glamping” with gorgeous nature around then this is it. Most notably is the hot shower runs out after about 10 minutes. So this is what I mean by “glamping” But otherwise a great serene place with amazing views of Ninh Binh mountains on the backdrop. Lucas (the hotel manager) was amazing as was the rest of the workers. The fish ponds around added so much to the taste of being the nature. The dogs are friendly and often came to say hello to us. We are dog people so we enjoyed meeting them.

The hotel was lovely, very beautiful grounds, extremely kind people. The only two negatives were there was a mandatory power outage one morning turning off our ac and WiFi and also the shower water pressure was just ok. The beds were comfortable, the food was good. Location is near many of the attractions but outside nihn bihn city center.

What a beautiful and serene place to stay. The cabins are very comfortable and the setting is remarkable as it is ringed with limestone mountains. The food is delicious, the service is excellent. A small piece of parayawaits!
