We were only at this home stay for a few hours but the owners were super accommodating. We had a unfortunate situation where a purse and passport was left on a bus that continued on. Within a less than a 6 hour period the owner got it figured out, made arrangements and got the passport with all its money, credits cards, etc. back to us. So far as to running out the retrieve it from the bus station when it was returned back to the city.

Had a good experience at the homestay, breakfast included and some good restaurants in the area aswell. Scooter rental is worth getting as some stuff is a bit further away but Hang Mua is nearby and good walks around the area behind the property

The owners were friendly and helpful. They do have bikes for rent at 40,000 đồng each. A choice of western breakfast such as banana pancake or beef pho. They do offer a variety of food in their menu for a price. They do have beautiful view from the rooftop but it is a tricky climb up there. You need to be quite careful with the narrow width of the steps and pull your body through a hole to get from the third floor to the rooftop. Once you are up there, make sure you don’t put your weight on the weak spots of the wooden planks. It would be great if they had inform me that the chicken I ordered was 500,000 đồng instead of the 300,000 đồng like they written in their menu. When confronted, they said mine was special. As for cleanlinesses, it took them less than 45 min to prepare our room as when we arrived, the guests from our room had to move to a different room. The air conditioner in our room worked really well. They arranged our transportation from Hanoi to Ning Bing for 210,000 đồng and from Ning Bing to Halong Bay for 300,000 đồng.

sorry for your misunderstanding. In the menu we have prepared chicken of a certain weight, you want to eat the fresh chicken we raise in the mountains which has a much larger weight than the prepared chicken. on the menu 300000vnd boiled or grilled chicken here fresh and big chicken you make 2 dishes steamed with lemongrass and fried if correct we have to take 300000vnd a dish

Friendly family and comfortable place to stay
Lovely, friendly family offering a very comfortable place to stay in a beautiful part of Vietnam. The whole family are helpful and accommodating, and made my 3-night stay extremely comfortable. The house looks onto Mua Caves, reached in 10 minutes on foot (a little longer to walk to the top! but well worth the effort) and they have bicycles and motorbikes to rent to go further afield. I highly recommend this homestay.

Our bus arrived nearly 2 hours before expected and the hosts both greeted us at 5:30am with tea and discussed the many things to do in the area. They let us check in early, did our laundry, and helped us get bicycles. Room was spacious and clean and had a good shower and air con. Bed is very firm. Food was excellent and good value for money. Hang Mua is a peaceful village close to many things to do. Will happily come stay here again.

Great Hotel with Beautiful Views
We loved our stay at the Hang Mua Central Homestay! The owners of the homestay were incredibly friendly and have a lovely family. The family was very helpful in providing information on things to do in Ninh Binh, helped us to rent a scooter, and arranged a very inexpensive taxi ride to the trainstation. We also enjoyed a great game of Uno with their children. If you are just wanting to check into your room and get some quiet time, then they also completely respect your privacy. The views from the windows are incredible and you can see Hang Mua and idyllic rice paddies from your room. The home stay also offers a great free breakfast included in the room rate and has a very good lunch and dinner menu at affordable rates. Unlike another hotel in the area, they were able to get our laundry done in less than 12 hours and had it completely dry (some hotels dry by air with mixed results due to the sometimes rainy climate). In summary, you can't go wrong booking here. The value is very good and you get the benefit of dealing with a wonderful family who seem to genuinely care about making sure their guests enjoy their visit to Ninh Binh. I'd highly recommend staying here and will be returning here on my next visit to Vietnam.

Helpful and nice, but misleading room description
Nice and very helpful family running the homestay! Breakfast was excellent, and we were able to rent nice bikes for the day. The rooms were not what we had expected (smaller, darker, more enclosed, not fully seperated like a bungalow, no garden view) , and the condition was not super good.

ハンムア洞窟近くの最高の立地です! ご家族で経営されているホテルで、 値段は安くサービスはよく暖かい雰囲気で、 最高に楽しい一夜を過ごせました。 〇食事 レストランメニューも充実しておりビールなども置いてあります。 夕食時、私はあまりお腹が空いていなかったので揚げ春巻きとご飯、ビールだけを頼みましたが とても美味しかったです。 朝食はシンプルですが美味しいです。 主食はフォーなどの麺類のセットか、パンと卵料理のセットから選べます。 フルーツ、食後のコーヒーなどもついてきてボリュームもちょうどよいです。 〇周囲の環境 周囲は小さな村で、大きな田んぼに囲まれているのでそういった雰囲気が好きな私にはたまりませんでした。 チェックインした夜は疲れたので早くに寝てしまいましたが、 朝、鶏の鳴き合う声に起こされて周囲を散歩しました。 広い田んぼ、その中に唐突にそそり立つ奇岩。 奇岩の麓には墓地がありますが、少しも怖かったり寂しい雰囲気はありません。 村の人たちが祖先を大事にされていることがよく伝わってくる暖かい雰囲気です。 ヤギを散歩させているおじいさんとすれ違いました。 ヤギたちの、奇岩を難なく登っていく姿には驚かせられます。 さらに歩くと田んぼのあぜ道を鶏の親子が朝食を探して歩いていました。 彼らをずいぶん驚かせてしまったようで申し訳なかったです^^ 広い田んぼに囲まれて奇岩を眺めていると初めて来るのになぜだかとても懐かしい気持ちになりました。 私の祖父母の家が田舎にあるのですが、 その古き良き雰囲気を思い出させてくれたのかもしれません。 私はこの雰囲気をとてもとても好きになりました。 ニンビンには高級なホテルもたくさんあり、そちらも素晴らしいのだとは思いますが、 私がまたニンビンに来るときにはまたこちらに泊めて頂きたいと思います。 〇部屋 とても綺麗です。 パックのお茶やコーヒー、湯沸かしポットも用意があります。 シャワーはあまり温度が上がらなかったので、 2月でしたし少し寒い思いをしました。 シャワーを出てからドライヤーで暖をとりました^^ 〇人柄 ご夫婦で経営されていて、4人?のお子さんのうち上の二人、お兄ちゃんとお姉ちゃんもお手伝いしてくれます。 ご夫婦はあまり英語が得意でないようでスマホ翻訳でコミュニケーションをとりましたが、 お子さんたちはまだ小さい(小学生?)のに英語がお上手です。 ご家族仲良い様子にとても暖かい気持ちになりますし、 お子さんたちと話しが出来て私も楽しかったです。 〇その他 翌朝、出発する際にはお水と小さなバナナを1房くださいました。 後から食べたのですがとても甘くて美味しかったです。 この時チップを渡し忘れたことを後悔しました。 私はまた泊まりたいと思っています。 大変おすすめのホテルです! Very good hotel! I love it, and want to stay again!
