Location is great - within walking distance of Hang Mua. The bungalows were comfortable if a bit rustic. We enjoyed the hammocks on the deck. Staff was very friendly.

Staff were very welcoming, treated us like long time friends. They did not push the tours which was refreshing after our experience in Hanoi. They gave advice & recommendations when asked. Very helpful in getting us train tickets back to Hanoi. Can’t say enough about how kind the staff were.

The atmosphere and the environnement, you feel inside the nature

A cool place that's something a bit different! Awesome location right by the start of the walk up to the Hang Mua viewpoint. The backdrop of the whole place is amazing. Loved the hammocks outside our rooms. The staff were so helpful and always had some good recommendations of things to do in Ninh Binh and also for the rest of our trip. Food and drinks were great there too!

Staff excellent help and very friendly. Foods were surprisingly bland. Location and view amazing

The staff were so so friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure we had transportation arranged for our departure. The included continental breakfast was so good they individually cooked us what we wanted off the menu. The location was perfect: away from all the touristy parts and in a lovely quiet peaceful hideaway. If you’re looking for an off the beaten path experience look no further!

The amazing staff. The location was breathtaking and so peaceful. The food we ate there was delicious.

The setting was beautiful, the shack was really great - loved the hammocks and the beds. And the staff - so incredibly sweet and helpful.

Relaxing place to stay, friendly staff with excellent English and great recommendations/willingness to help with travel arrangements, calling taxis, renting bikes, etc. The scenery was stunning and privacy of the bungalows was well thought out. Accommodation was basic, true to the photos and had everything you needed

I've been here twice now and the staff has always been very helpful and friendly. The food is always good, the bedding and towels are always clean, and the setting is great.

Host Info
Nguyen Shack – Ninh Binh is a Ecotourism Glamping spot located in the heart of the attractions in Ninh Binh. The bungalows are situated in the middle of a valley surrounded by the multiform limestone pitons. Our Ninh Binh accommodation offers guests an amazing mountain valley view with a lake at the front of the bungalows. The guesthouse is built from nature materials such as bamboo and leaves, making guests feel closer to nature. Offering a true sense of Vietnam, a natural private terrace allows guests to feel relax in a comfortable lounge chair or hammock with a good book and a calming cup of tea. Is the best place to disconnect from the busy world where we living and enjoy the serenity of Vietnam countryside. You should plan to stay a minimum of 2 nights when you come to visit us if you want to have time to see the touristic attraction and to relax at the Shack enjoying our amazing landscape.
Nguyen Shack is a joint venture between Theu (Vietnamese) and Maxime (Canadian). They have met each other in Vietnam at the time that Maxime was traveling for a world trip and decided to stop is adventure in Vietnam. It was a dream that both of them had to open a guesthouse. Theu worked all of her life for big hotels administrators around Vietnam and planned to open her own accommodation. Maxime had planned to work hard in the video business before starting a guesthouse in countryside of Quebec 10 or 15 years later. Finally it's happen faster than planned and in a country very far from home. It was the perfect match to start a great adventure with their new business. Nguyen Shack - Ninh Binh is the second guesthouse that they have open in Vietnam. The first one is in the Mekong Delta near Can Tho City. After one year and a half of operation in this homestay Theu and Maxime were ready to grow. Instead of building more bungalow in Can Tho, they decide to keep it small and to open a new one in Ninh Binh. So, the guesthouse will not become a resort but remain a quiet place with small team to have familial feeling.
It is an ideal spot to easily access the main thing to do by bicycle such as Trang An, Tam Coc – Bich Dong, Hoa Lu (Ancient Capital), Bai Dinh and the town. Our bicycles are provide for free for guests’ satisfaction. We also organize some unique non-touristic tour to discover the local life of the villager next to our place. With our bike tour you will learn how the farmer grow the rice, see a local textile factory, learn how to do homemade tofu, how to make concrete pottery and brick, visit a on thousand years old pagoda and meet the children at the primary school of the village. A great way to know more about Vietnam
