Lock in a great price for Nguyen Shack - Ninh Binh – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff was incredible and the food was great. They were super helpful and friendly when we didn’t know what to do! Absolutely had the best time!!!!

David, United States of America

We loved the quietness and view from the bungalows. It was just what we needed to break up our week in Hanoi. So quiet and peaceful and kid friendly! We had three kids in tow (5,3, 6 months) and while we second guessed whether this was a good idea we immediately fell in love with the warmth of place! They love kids and make you feel so welcome. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Katie, United States of America

The staff here is amazing - extremely personable and attentive. Everyone speaks great English which is helpful trying to sort out various activities. I wish that the facilities were a little nicer but that is more management than anything else. However, I would come back!

Edone_sf, United States of America

The location was amazing, it was very beautiful and the value for money is fantastic, but what really made our stay was the staff. They were incredible, so friendly and helpful and really went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after. We will definitely stay here again and absolutely would recommend.

Alex, United States of America

Excellent bungalow with a beautiful view. Location and staff also excellent. Such a great place to relax but also very close to all the sights.

Rebecca, United Kingdom

The staff are friendly and helpful I love the concept of this hotel. Highly recommend

Quang, Vietnam

"Superb location for its scenery and about 5 minutes walk to Hang Múa Caves. Bunk beds that are open to the fresh air. The food is excellent and the sites are out of this world. All the facilities are clean. The staff are absolutely delightful. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Ninh Binh."

Tran, Vietnam

Absolutely everything! These young people make a great job with this accommodation. They are friendly, very helpful, very kind and attentive. They are always smiling and looking for talking to you and share some moment. They are lovely people. The place is amazing, that small lake surrounded by mountains is so peaceful and quiet. The food was very good and the room was quite nice. I have no bad comments for this experience.

Francabello, China

We can't say enough positive things. The experience at the shack is what made Ninh Bing for us. So beautiful! The staff was amazing! Food is delicious. You won't be disappointed.

Genoa, Romania

Really lovely place away from everything and one with nature. We wished we had stayed longer. Warmest staff on our entire trip in Vietnam. Sights and sounds were incredible and the breakfast was delicious

I can't think of anything we didn't like. It exceeded expectations!
We were surprised by the facilities at the Shack as had expected it to be quite basic but our waterfront bungalow had everything we needed, including toiletries in the bathroom (more like a wet room but totally adequate & lovely to shower looking out over the water) and mosquito net over the bed. It was all very comfortable. The team looked after us well, and were very friendly & helpful. We had some lovely meals there too.

“Mixed feelings ”

We were there in late November and we were very unlucky with the weather. The night we stayed there was very windy and cold. The shacks are built in bamboo and do not offer protection against the elements. We were unable to sleep all night with cold, noise and wind. We are used to sleep outside as we camp very often, but the wind was so strong that all doors and blinds were blowing in the wind and banging all night. We had the impression of staying outside all night. It was so cold in the morning that I barely could take a shower. With good weather, I believe that all our experience would have been different and more in line with the majority of positive comments . This place has a great potential and is run by very friendly and efficient staff.
The place is amazing, the bamboo shacks are lovely, open to the water and with a stunning view over the surrounding nature. Really a romantic and very beautiful place. The staff is lovely and very helpful. The homemade food was very good.

For me is was no problem at all, but you should consider that this accommodation is located from the road, next to water and there are a lot of different animals living there. Those you will hear and might wake you up if you’re a light sleeper or not used to this. I’ve heard someone complain about it, which I think is not fair... This only makes this accommodation one of its kind and I really enjoyed listing to the different sounds.
The personnel was the best! Super friendly, very helpful, so much attention for the guests, flexible, honest and whatever question you have: they will do everything in their power to help you. Also the bamboo cabins bungalows are so cosy. The beds are good with a mosquito net that is freshly washed. Breakfast in the morning is various en served from 6 till 12.

“A little bit overpriced but beautiful”
- • Leisure trip

- • Bungalow - Water Front
- • Stayed 2 nights

The bathtroom was really so so, could have been cleaner, the towels looked very old and I guess there is a problem with pipes in the whole facility, because the water in the toilets won’t flush, and you can smell a nasty odour basically everywhere, even in the shack and the restaurant. Our sheets had stains and holes, the mosquito nest was extremely dirty like it has never been washed.
The staff is super nice and funny and they are always available at the reception to help you. Tasty food and a quite good choice of breakfasts. The location is great, in the middle of quiet and peaceful vietnamese countryside, you can take the bikes free of charge and go cycling around the temples, plus the view from the shacks is really breathtaking, you basically stay in the valley surrounded with beautiful rock formations - WOW! We feel it is overpriced for the standard you get, but man, the picturesque neighbourhood, rice fields and the temples are quite worth it.

The rooms were okay but very noisy. You had no privacy and the mosquitos were everywhere. The sheets were so moist/wet so I’m thankful I had my travel sheet with me.
The scenery is absolutely amazing. And the boat trip trough the caves and the view point overlooking for the sunset was beyond amazing. The food was also very good. I recommend the tofu with lemongrass.

First night we stayed in the bungalow, the other nights we stayed in the rooms with a shared bathroom. In our last night's, we were sometimes bothered when other people got up, go to bathroom (it is not sound proof & the cabin was shaking sometimes when some people were walking past our room)
The location was perfect, not only for the trips, but also the actual location (view, solitude,...) was amazing. I would definitely recommend to take a bungalow. Secondly the hosts were really nice and friendly You can also have a lovely breakfast, lunch and dinner at their restaurant. The last day, we left quite late in the evening. It was not a problem to leave our bags there during the day, and have a shower in the evening before leaving.
