We absolutely loved staying at Muong Village. It was a beautiful and quiet place to stay for a couple nights after being in busy Hanoi. Our only regret was that we didn’t book for longer! Hannah and Minh made our stay the best 🙏❤️👌

We booked this hotel a number of times as we really like it. The front desk, bar and breakfast staff did a great job to accommodate and learn about celiac disease medical food restrictions. The new rooms by the pool are spotless and lovely. Great walkable location.
