“We (family of four (2 + 2 adult children)) stayed for 2 nights in June.
Location: hotel is located away from the main tourist area and so nowhere is walkable. The hotel does have bicycles free to use which we took to cycle through some rice fields to a local village (few km round trip and flat).
Rooms: large and clean. Bathrooms the same. Still with small towels - like the rest of Vietnam hotels it seems.
Pool was lovely - water warm, large towels provided and drinks available.
Restaurant -……
“Lily is an amazing host who runs her homestay seemlessly. She is also very knowledgeable and was helpful with providing us great suggestions in how to explore Ninh Binh. Our room and bed was comfortable which gave us good night's rest. Breakfast was also tasty and was served generously. Highly recommend for anyone who's looking for a quality stay when visiting Tam Coc, Ninh Binh!”
“Near famous tourist area. Host can provide bicycle or scooter, which I recommend in area. Place was comfy and cleaned for remotely countryside.
Host speak little bit English-speaking but no issues for communication. Good hotel in area ”
“Wow! What a beautiful homestay tucked away in a private corner of Ninh Binh. The views and hospitable staff were amazing - they truly went above and beyond to make our time at the lotus field wonderful. At night, there were loud karaoke parties nearby that echoed across the cliffs that we weren’t expecting, and most of the bikes were in tough condition, but all and all 10/10 would recommend a stay here! ”
“The property is a beautiful hidden gem with views of the limestone peaks all around! The staff is very accommodating and insures that the guests are well taken care of!! The food is also amazing! I would highly recommend this place and will be coming back soon!! A must stay and location!!”
“Beautiful serene accomodation middle of mountains and rice paddies. Can’t be better than this. Bed was very comfortable and quiet. Room had all the amenities required for the stay. Shower was nice and hot. Swimming pool was amazingly clean and big to soak long day at Ninh Binh.
Breakfast was so delicious and just enough of options.
We accidentally broke the shower gel container at the room and costs 150,000 VND. But the lovely lady at the reception waived it for us. She even spoke to the grab……
“This was an amazing location, staying amongst the limestone karsts. The pool looked very inviting but we didn't get a chance to use it as there is so much to explore around the area. The host families hospitality was incredible. We played billiards with the kids and their mum gave us a big hug as we left. She is very accommodating and although her English was limited made a great effort with Google translate to communicate well with us. She was very helpful with advice on where to visit. ……
“We had a fantastic stay here. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and the hosts were so kind and generous. The location is perfect, an easy bike ride to all of the major sites in tam coc and trang an. The bikes are provided free of charge. The best place we stayed in Vietnam; couldn’t have asked for better. ”
“Excellent stay! We really enjoyed our time here. Location is conveniently located close to Trang An boat tour and Hang Mua cave (biking distance). Food was great and host’s dog is adorable. Thank you! ”
“Very clean and professional.
Several services available, we took a scooter from Catalina and everything went well.
The wife of the owner is preparing the food everyday in with very good quality! Loved staying here.”
“Out of everywhere we stayed during our two-week trip around Vietnam, Happy Tam Coc Ecolodge was hands down the best. The property is stunning—surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush greenery, it feels peaceful and secluded, yet still super close to everything. Bich Dong Pagoda is just a five-minute walk away, and most tourist spots are only a short scooter ride.
What really made the stay special was Lily. She was so kind and helpful the entire time—genuinely one of the nicest hosts……
