definitely one of our favorite places to stay in Vietnam, the peacefulness, harmony with the local people and the small lake with swans, ducks, gish, etc. combined with nutritious/delicious including “vegetarian” food, service with a smile and a constant attitude of pleasing the hotel guests make for a fabulous stay! Will definitely be back again and recommend this to anyone who wants to explore the Ninh Binh & ancient capital Hao Lu region, or just a charming, rustic getaway from the intensity of Hanoi or Ho Chi Min City! 👏👍
