The staff there were so nice. The property itself is stunning, nice and quiet but there is access to food nearby. Breakfast had decent options and the goat soup with scorched rice I ordered for room service was incredible. It is not too far from main attractions and since transportation from Grab or scooter is an option, it makes it pretty easy. I would definitely come back here again

I will definitely return if I were to return Ninh Binh. I wished my stay was longer this time as well. I hope to stay for about a week or so next time 😄

5 stars!
Excellent! Such a beautiful little place with amazing gardens and scenery. The highlight was absolutely the staff. They were incredibly caring, helpful and attentive. The location is near Mua Caves and Trang An boat launch. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We had great time staying at this resort. We stayed in a room on the second floor with a pool view for 4 nights. The room had vaulted ceiling; it was very spacious, clean and very comfortable. The resort has nice garden and pool. Food at the restaurant was delicious. And staff was absolutely amazing. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Ms Jade Dao organized 3 terrific private tours for us and also took care of all transfers/transportation that we needed. Ms Dao answered all our questions and was always ready to take care of any concerns that we had from the moment we made our reservation. Our tour guide Tuan was very knowledgeable and certainly made our trips even more memorable. Overall, we had an amazing experience and certainly recommend it.

They get an A for effort! Wonderful staff and property, I recommend it for that. Not so much for the area - many restaurants in town, but everything was "not in season". Villagers are very friendly and welcoming.

Very poor stay
The hotel had very little hot water. We ordered from the hotel restaurant 3 times and it took approximately 2 hours to receive our food each time. The orders, when received, were never correct. Many orders left out an entire dish from the order, leaving a family member with nothing to eat. Most of the menu was not available. The hotel advertises that is has tours available as part of their service. We asked about tours a few times and never received a response. The TV requires you to log-in to your own private Netflix, Hulu or Amazon accounts. The WiFi in one of our rooms did not work. I would not normally complain about a hotel, especially during times of COVID; however, this was a pricey stay and far from what was advertised, this is the worst experience we have had in any Southeast Asia hotel or homestay and I want to ensure others know so they consider the amount of money they are investing in their trip.

The setting & standard of rooms were okay. Unfortunately the bathroom shower hot water was extremely hard to regulate & was scolding or freezing. The Restaurant food was okay but the staff need alot of hospitality training as they don't come to your table to check if your drink is empty. They bring you your dinner with no cutlery or chop sticks. Also need to work on their personal presentation. Overall, l wouldn't recommend or stay there again as it's 30 KM from Tam Coc.

This resort is really quiet and peaceful. It was hard to find in the first place but our grab driver was able to find it after. Overall I would say this hotel is really good, and beautiful but need to improve on the taste of the food. Pros - The service of the hotel is excellent. The staff will greet you every morning and check to see if everything is alright during your stay. - The hotel is like brand new where all furniture and applicants are like brand new - The fruit juice for breakfast is fresh juice. Like literally from fresh fruits. Cons - There were various choices of cuisine for dinner but the food tastes very average. We tried the western and the local dishes such as pho & burgers. - During our stay, there were other guest's kids shouting early in the morning which woke us up. I think better policies will be needed on this.

Got picked up at Ninh Binh train station and taken directly to property. We were met by friendly staff and informed that our room was already available (we had not asked for early check in). Taken to our room and shown facilities. Stunning location close to some of the most beautiful scenery Viet Nam has to offer - just a ride on the moped (which we could rent from property) through landscape was worth it. Room was fantastic, big and clean and had all we needed. Pool was right outside room. Staff were helpful and always attentive. Sorry we only had one night!

Lovely place to relax. Friendly staff, location a bit remote from restaraurants/sights but easy to get taxis so wasn’t really a problem. Rooms are great (Netflix was a nice bonus!). Genuinely gorgeous surroundings! Would recommend. We did notice that it can occasionally become overrun with children which is worth noting if you aren’t travelling as a family. If you are I think this place might be even more perfect for you!

The style of the hotel and the rooms were very nice. The reception desk didn't have a place for the guests to sit and discuss things like excursions or other questions they had about the hotel or the area so every time we went to ask a question it was pretty uncomfortable and uninviting. the hotel advertises itself as "hotel and spa" when in fact it is not really a spa. We booked the spa for a couples massage and the two staff members who performed the massage seemed to have no idea what they were doing. One of them was also the bartender / cashier at the restaurant and we got the impression that she had no massage experience. They should not advertise as a "spa" when they are not equipped to provide such services. the restaurant was nice but they did seem to have a problem with an influx of pigeons. It's an open-air restaurant so it is understandable that you would be in contact with nature but there were many pigeons and they did defecate right next to the dinner table which makes the dining experience a little less pleasant. The hotel location was good. there's not much going on outside the hotel but it is very close to the pagoda and you can either walk or ride a bike there.

Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. Location very near temple but away from town. Room was clean and inviting. Water was too hot but fixable. Overall, I would stay here again just to relax and be closer to temple.

We are so glad that we found this hidden gem. We were given a free upgrade to a duplex. Thank you! Facilities and rooms are new, staff are extremely courteous and helpful. We were told that the resort has only opened for a month. Breakfast is delicious and the massage treatments are great, thank you Ruby and Lan

服务不错,餐饮美味。
酒店距离白亭寺只有5分钟的步行路程,去其他景点酒店可以安排包车,房间里有包车价格表,明码标价。这里是个小村庄,吃饭的话首推酒店,干净卫生味道不错,当然酒店门口也有一些餐厅。我们住的VILLA造型很别致,晚上拍照非常好看。服务员都很热情,还有会说中文的服务员,非常感谢热情款待。唯一的缺点是水压不太稳定,尤其是晚上,洗澡的水忽大忽小,希望改进。

Très bien mais à éviter en hiver
Établissement très agréable dans un cadre verdoyant. Le personnel est dévoué et souvent compétent. La nourriture reste banale et les cocktails sont à éviter. Le seul reproche sérieux concerne la salle à manger, ouverte à tous les vents. Or, durant notre séjour en décembre, il faisait une température inférieure à 10 degrés soir et matin, rendant l’usage des baguettes difficiles tant nos doigts étaient gourts... Nous avons donc dîné dans notre chambre et pris le petit-déjeuner avec pulls et manteaux.

Ein wunderschönes kleines Resort. Wir hatten eines der beiden Häuser; sehr geräumig, 2 Klimaanlagen und mehrere Ventilatoren. Selbst Strohhüte sind vorhanden sowie ein Regenschirm. Der Pool ist sehr schön, wobei das Wasser nicht klar sondern eher milchig ist und der Wäscheservice ist sehr teuer - alle anderen Unterkünfte in Vietnam boten diesen Service erheblich günstiger an. Lediglich im Bad gab es nach dem Duschen eine Überschwemmung, weil die Duschtür nicht bis zum Boden reicht. Alles in allem eine sehr schöne und komfortable kleine Oase und sehr zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

We arrived early in the morning and were made very welcome and offered an early room check in. Bai Dinh Garden is gorgeous and the whole property is spread out making every cottage very personal and quiet. Big comfy beds and a great big bath. All the staff here are friendly and attentive. We booked a fantastic tour to Trang An and Bai Dinh Pagoda, which surprised and amazed us. Restaurant food excellent and swimming pools are amazing The place was really great to rest after hours of visit!
