Kim Son Hotels from S$25

"It is a beautiful NEW resort with VERY friendly staff in a great location in beautiful Nihn Binh. Because it is fairly new there are some things that with time will get improved. We had 4 rooms and for some reason one room wasn't cleaned - we asked that they at least take out the bin with dirty toilet paper while we went out to dinner but it wasn't done. When coming back from dinner the lights to our area wasn't turned on and I stubbed my toe on the step. Would love if the restaurant would serve wine by the glass - think it will happen as the place gets busier. Would love a mirror on both walls in the bathroom, on the "outlet" wall. So happy we stayed here though and staff could not be nicer and resort more serene. "

"Staff was super friendly and helpful, area was beautiful, beds comfy, restaurant dinner had this amazing pomelo salad. And the dogs were cute."

"The property is great, but truly I want to highlight the staff. I’m so sorry I don’t recall your name, but the lady running this place is an icon! She is so attentive, helpful, and kind. We had to leave at 6am and she even offered to pack up breakfast for us to go. Property itself is so much better than the concrete boxes. It’s tastefully designed, trees growing through, nature-forward. Towels, toiletries, etc provided. Booking an airport transfer was also so easy, safe, and convenient. Location, this is the spot. It’s on a main road, but a 4 minute walk takes you to a quiet section behind, OR, go the other way into the city for shopping & liveliness. Exactly what I needed to escape. We will be back!"

"Clean room, amazing friendly and accommodating staff, good location, great breakfast and fast laundry service "

"My husband and I had an amazing stay! We were celebrating our anniversary and truly appreciated the level of thought and care the staff displayed to help us celebrate. Not only did the staff place roses on the bed and shaped towels into swans, when we left on our first excursion and came back, we were surprised with a lovely cake in our room. Additionally, the surrounding mountain area of this hotel is beautiful and makes swimming in the infinity-like pool and eating the complementary breakfast all the more enjoyable. The staff were amiable, hospitable, and helpful, and I particularly appreciated their prompt replies on Expedia when I had any questions prior to arriving. We highly recommend staying at Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat!"

"Location in the midst of rice fields, views of mountains in distance, proximity to Mua cave, beautiful garden and pool on the premises. Restaurant provides great, tasty food. Add to these spacious, clean rooms and wonderful service and you have this Ecolodge! Surely recommend it."

"The quadruple room was amazing and suited our family well. Great location right at the centre."

"Excellent staff, fantastic location - very quiet at night, but less than five minutes' walk from town centre. Room was cleaned and resyocked evety day. A really great place to stay in Tam Coc "

"Athena Resort is a fantastic unique hotel in Ninh Binh, the little house style accommodation feels like a home away from home and the pool facilities are expansive. The staff were fantastic including helping us to confirm details on sleeper buses we were taking to the next leg of our trip. The resort is standalone so is extremely quiet and tranquil with the small village of Tam Coc not too far away (20 min walk down a single road over the rice paddies), or a quick taxi / bike ride. Highly recommend! "
