Thank you to the team at Jiva - including Maya, Jayla and Carwyn. They made us feel very welcome during our stay. We also really enjoyed the spa treatments that we had. And the grounds of the resort are really spectacular. 100% worth visiting!
The property was OK for us, but not as amazing as we thought. The location between the hills/rocks is nice, however, there wasn't any breeze coming through, which made it very hot during the day. The breakfast and dinner was excellent. The staff is working very hard to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. We are glad we went. Not sure we would stay there again though.

Had a fantastic stay. Staff and amenities were amazing.
Resort is in an amazing location with spectacular scenery. Rooms were wonderful. Pool is fantastic. Only minor comment is poor lighting in the bathroom and fitness area is rustic.
The room and property were stunning. The spa and pool area was such a nice perk. I had the best massage of my entire trip here! Stay here if you are looking for somewhere peaceful with local charm.
Our stay here was exceptional. The property is tucked away in a secluded, peaceful area, yet only a quick 2-minute bicycle or motorbike ride from all the busyness. It was the perfect balance of quiet comfort and easy access to everything we needed. We truly enjoyed the calm atmosphere and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

A truly peaceful and luxurious stay. The resort’s atmosphere and nature are unmatched, with warm, attentive service throughout. Check-in was smooth, and we loved the free shuttle, bike rentals, and the helpful resort app.
The staff went above and beyond to make us feel truly cared for. I also had one of the best massages ever, and the gym, pool, and sauna were excellent.
Highly recommended.
A lovely resort set in a beautiful landscape! The room was very nice and was cleaned at least twice a day. The hosts are incredibly kind and speak very good English. We were also very lucky to meet Phuc, who welcomed us with her kind gestures and warm smile, showed us our room, and surprised us with a honeymoon cake.
The resort also has a lovely restaurant that serves delicious food at very reasonable prices.
I strongly recommend this resort!

The stay was exceptional.
I’ve never seen natural beauty like this in my life. I truly enjoyed the hotel and Ninh Binh and cannot wait to be back.
The only recommendation I have is the service was on the slow side.
While at the poolside, we’d order food and drinks and it sometimes took up to 30-35 mins to have the items delivered.., same for dinner.
Other than that everything was great
Amazing hidden gem! Clean new rooms, friendly staff, well maintained grounds, incredible views.
Wonderful to bike through the rice patties and into town. We would definitely return!
Stunning property in a gorgeous serene setting immersed in nature. Intentional design detail that pulls in elements from nature. Beautiful landscape architecture and immaculately groomed gardens. Super sweet and attentive staff. Very nice spa services. Delicious buffet breakfast offering extensive variety of east and west dishes. Very fast internet service.

The property is nice and clean, location is great but not so many staff talks english so better to have translation app.
this place was absolutely beautiful and the service was impeccable. we were there for the soft opening so we felt lucky to sort of have the place to ourselves while they were still doing finishing touches. the property is gorgeous and it’s close to the little town where everything is. they have a free shuttle to the town or nice bicycles you can rent. the rooms were so nice and brand new!
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!
