Nghia Hung Hotels from S$19

"very nicely designed bungalow hotel along a popular road that is adjacent to Tam Coc river. The good thing is that it is near the popular spot and yet it off the busy part. Quiet place to enjoy the river. Also eco friendly, there is a tree in middle of courtyard and a hole at upper floor was there to accommodate this tree. Staff is super friendly. There is also a new litter of kittens to keep quests happy"

"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 "

"If you are looking for a Four Season style hotel then this is not your spot. But if you are looking for “glamping” with gorgeous nature around then this is it. Most notably is the hot shower runs out after about 10 minutes. So this is what I mean by “glamping” But otherwise a great serene place with amazing views of Ninh Binh mountains on the backdrop. Lucas (the hotel manager) was amazing as was the rest of the workers. The fish ponds around added so much to the taste of being the nature. The dogs are friendly and often came to say hello to us. We are dog people so we enjoyed meeting them. "

"Ninh Binh is simply EPIC! We have been several times, and love this neck of the woods. Coming from Hanoi, this gem of a destination is the perfect place to rest, recharge, and listen to nature. And there is no better place to unplug than Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat and Resort. The staff are the most professional, the grounds are well kept, and the scenery is second to none. We enjoyed the spa as the treatments were world class and the therapists were so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was surprisingly delicious, as the breakfast buffet was on point, and the dinner was spectacular. We even celebrated a birthday and the staff was particularly attentive to making sure the celebration was so special. We took part in a private tea ceremony, and I think this was one of the highlights of our stay. They offered an E-Bike private tour which we took advantage of, and it was so fun! The benefit of staying at Jiva Hoa, is that it is off the beaten path, and yet, the staff offer a buggie/golf cart shuttle to town any time that it is needed. The resort uses an app which was a cool feature to communicate with the staff for any needs. There are plenty of hotels and homestays within the Ninh Binh area, however, if you are looking for a luxury stay which will blow you away, look no further than Jiva Hoa. It is worth every VND! We will definitely be back."

"Room was very spacious and service was great. Classy place to stay. "

"Always on my mind when I visit Nam Dinh ,VN."

"The lodge was magical! The staff was helpful and attentive. The property was beautiful and well maintained including the room and pool/common area. The food was amazing no the for dinner and breakfast and they had a nice selection of wine! The massage was excellent and the price was wonderful. We loved our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer "

"Great staff, very friendly, very clean I definitely recommend this place, don’t forget to see candy 10 out of 10 "

"Huge and very comfy bed. Good shower and also amenities. Yea and coffee in room and water. WiFi ok, perhaps a little slow but adequate for our needs. Just down the road from Hoa Lu old town (beautiful) and Trang Un river boat rides. A tour they organised took us up the Dragon Mountain. No need to go out for dinner, the food is MUCH better here and HUGE PORTIONS!"
