Hang Mua Homestay

One of the best accommodations I've visited while traveling. The hostess prepares amazing breakfasts, the accommodations are clean, quiet and have their own charm. I recommend.

Nothing

The room is clean and the property is beautiful and peaceful. The owners are very kind and accommodating. The location is also great and is close to many attractions.

Nothing!

Schönes Homestay mit absolut zuvorkommenden Gastgebern. Supper nette Familie :) Frühstück gabs über booking dazu. wir hatten immer Omlette mit kleinem vietnamesischen Baguette und Bananen.

Es war alles perfekt <3

Eine sehr liebe Familie. Tolles Frühstück

Zimmer nicht immer gereinigt

Really lovely family we had an amazing time and so accommodating and just a really peaceful energy. We had the best time.

Very nice little guesthouse offering excellent value for money within a 15 minute walk of the Hang Mua viewpoint and a 10 minute cycle to Trang An. Plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby too. The guesthouse offers laundry at 50k/kg and also rents cycles and scooters. We had an issue with the cycles (which aren’t particularly new) and we were not charged which was a nice gesture. The family who run it are very sweet and kind. They also arranged our onward travel to Hanoi. For local tips and guidance do visit the excellent Xpresso coffee shop a few yards along the road.

The room could have been a little cleaner on arrival and the bin needs to be emptied daily.

Eine kleine Oase mitten in Trubel in der Nähe der Nationalpark von Ninh Binh. Wunderschöne Garten mit Pool. Die Familie ist super herzlich und aufmerksam. Sie haben für uns eine private Shuttle organisiert von Hanoi Flughafen, was reibungslos lief. Wir habe uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und entspannen können.

Bien placé à l'écart de l'agitation touristique, un petit homestay familial organisé autour d'un magnifique jardin et d'une belle piscine. Quelques chambres spacieuses, bien équipées et décorées avec soin. Des hôtes discrets mais fort sympathiques et très serviables.

Piscine non utilisée car pas super propre et voisinage parfois un peu bruyant (en tout cas durant notre séjour de 4 nuits)

I loved how peaceful it was as well as the kindness of the hosts. They were always there to help.

The lack of good restaurant options around. Seems like they all try to make western food and there’s no authentic place.

Without a doubt, this is the best homestay I have stayed at so far. Starting with the room, it's very spacious and has everything you need to comfortably stay for some days. The bathroom is large and has hot water (which I hadn’t had for a while in Vietnam, so that was amazing!). And the bed… definitely the best I’ve tried in Vietnam so far. The mattress is soft and the bed is very spacious. The room also has a mini refrigerator and air conditioning. On top of that, the family is incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. I spoke mostly with the daughter who speaks English and she helped us a lot. But the grandmother was also very sweet to me. On the last day I didn’t have breakfast, and she gave me two oranges and some cookies for the road, which was such a lovely gesture. The father was also very kind. Even though he didn’t speak English, he used a translator and was always very helpful. The property itself is beautiful. The park and garden areas are lovely, and the pool looked very clean as well. I didn’t get to use it because it was a bit cold, but it looked really nice. It is absolutely worth it and one of the best price-quality places I have found in Vietnam. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!

Ambiente bellissimo e famiglia amichevole e gentile

Un petit Homestay parfait, intime et calme. Accueil super chaleureux de la commune qui tient ce lieu. Magnifique jardin intérieur très proche de toutes les attractions. Tous les restaurants autour sont excellent.

L’établissement est en pleine nature, un coin paisible avec de la verdure c’est très agréable.

Rien tout était parfait

Endroit magnifique et accueil par une famille qui est pleine d'attentions. Nous avons passé une soirée avec eux une soirée inoubliable pendant la fête du Têt Très bien situé

l'home stay è vicino alla mua cave.

Poca scelta per la colazione

Lovely family to stay with, Grandma is such a wonderful presence and influence. Gorgeous view from our upstairs room. Quiet and comfortable. Only 10 mins to Nihn Bihn by scooter.

Lovely family stay:) very kind people, peaceful garden, possible to rent bikes for free

Phong cảnh trước phòng, các cô chú của homestay thân thiện, nhiệt tình

This was a last minute booking and we didn't realise that it would become our favourite part of our trip. Ms Linh and her family at Hang Mua Nature Homestay were so welcoming and helpful throughout our entire stay. They organised our transport to their home, did our laundry and our transport to Hoi An as well, making our stay as hassle free as possible. They made the most delicious egg bread for breakfast too, with dragon fruit and tea each morning. We really did not want to leave on our last night, but we hope to be back again soon 🥰

I can't pin point anything. Their home exceeded our expectations entirely.

La gentillesse et la disponibilité de la famille. Ils sont très arrangeant et vraiment très serviable, ils font tout pour rendre le séjour confortable et appréciable. On a pu accéder à la piscine et à une douche avant notre transfert pour Sapa, le père de famille nous a emmené en voiture jusqu’à notre arrêt de bus. Toujours un thé, un verre d’eau, des fruits frais à nous servir lorsque nous arrivons…des anges! On serait bien resté plus longtemps, notre meilleure expérience de homestay.

Rien du tout, c’était parfait

We kwamen veel vroeger aan met de bus, om 6 uur 's morgens. De mensen waren rustig aan het poetsen. Ze namen de tijd om ons thee te geven en loganfruit vers geplukt van de boom. De mensen konden zeer slecht Engels maar losten dit zonder problemen op met Google Translate. Er waren ook twee meisjes van de familie die zeer goed Engels konden. Je wordt ontvangen in een homestay waar de familie woont, zwemt en leeft. Wij vonden het fantastisch om daarbij te zijn. Het is ongeveer 15 minuten met de scooter van Tam Coc die we huurden bij de eigenaar maar ook in de straat zelf zijn er verschillende fijne en goede restaurants!

Niets

Lo más del alojamiento son los afitriones. Súper amables, no hablan inglés pero con el móvil te haces entender. Como dije vale la pena solo por los anfitriones que son súper buena gente.

Deberían cuidar un poco más el espacio. El desayuno que se supone está incluido es muy, muy básico. No lo consideraría como desayuno.

Great Location but Needs Significant Improvement We stayed at this homestay near Hang Mua Caves on 11 June 2025. The booking price was very affordable—only 27 SGD for 3 people—which was appealing, especially given the beautiful views shown in the listing photos. However, our actual experience didn’t quite match those expectations. The Positives: 1.The location is excellent, close to key attractions in Ninh Binh. 2.Drinks we ordered upon arrival were nicely prepared. 3.One of the staff members was very kind and helped clean our motorbike. 4.After checkout, we were allowed to store our luggage while we explored the area, which was helpful.

Areas for Improvement: Cleanliness: The rooms, toilet, and general areas were not well maintained. Towels and bedsheets were stained, the bathroom had a bad odor, and there was visible dust throughout the space. Facilities: The rooftop, which was a highlight in the photos, was closed, so we couldn’t enjoy the view. Staff: While some staff were friendly, communication was a challenge. A few staff members did not speak English, and one was noticeably unwelcoming when we had questions. Bike rental: We were charged for a full day rental despite only using the bike for a few hours. The next morning, we had to pay again even though it was only until early afternoon. Early check-in: Even though the property wasn’t busy, we weren’t allowed to check in before 2 PM, which felt inflexible May be this is only happen to me due to the lack of communication.

N/A

Incredibly sweet family, helped us find our correct bus stop and drove us there and let us stay in the same room an extra day because we were sick!

Very cheap stay price however room was dirty. Dead bugs, hair and blood stains on the sheets. Rubbish found on the floor from previous stays. Room clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. Dust on surfaces and mould on the wall. Sheets also felt damp. We only stayed for a matter of hours and left as soon as possible to move on to another hotel. Didn’t bother checking rest of facilities not even the breakfast we had included just wanted to leave asap. Didn’t bother notifying staff as going off other reviews they can’t take criticism well and didn’t fancy a broken English altercation.

How friendly the family was, so eager to help with any requests or questions you had for them

Like: hotel staff and location. Clean and comfortable rooms Dislike: property under renovation. Pool under maintenance.

Like: the owners and staff. Polite and helpful. The location, walking distance from mua cave entrance. Nearby good restaurants (Indian, western and Vietnamese) next to the property. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Dislike: property under renovation. Pool under maintenance.

Rooms are nice and clean, bed is very comfortable, the surrounding are quiet and the staff is very friendly

Note that if you use anything from the fridge in the room you have to pay for it.

Big bedroom and bathroom, calm surrondings, close to Mua Caves

Location is tricky and not so good compared to the others around. They leave bottles of water and we thought was for free (like most hostels/hotels in Asia) but on the check-out they ask you for the price of them. Its okay to pay the water but I consider polite to inform that in advance.

Nice quiet location Mixture of western and Asian breakfast 15 minutes walk to the amazing Mua cave and viewpoints

No heating in the room. They provided warm quilts for sleeping but sitting wasn't very comfortable.

The family of this homestay made us feel like home and part of their family. We even got invited for a traditional Vietnamese dinner on our last evening. Can only recommend if you seek a quiet stay out of busy Tam Coc. Tam Coc and Ninh Binh can be reached by Grab, bike or even by foot.

The staff was friendly and nice, because of them I wouldn’t want to give a bad rating but this is for anyone that is thinking about staying here. The room was dirty, pillows and blankets were stained, bathroom was dirty and small, the hairbrush that is left in the bathroom for guests had hair on it from a random person, you can tell it wasn’t clean. The humidity was very bad, stepping on the floor made your feet wet and the towels and bed sheets were moist, there was also a very strong smell of humidity when entering the room. Overall I would not recommend to stay, maybe one night if you’re out of options.

Beds was the best! We booked a room with two very big double beds and it was correct. They were big and very comfortable. Breakfest was nice and it was the reason why I booked it. Parents-host was very kind and pleasent. They have left us to leave the luggage after check-out and was kind to our children. Location is absolutly great, weather was really bad but even thought we saw some mountains next to our place. I think the price is fair.

The very first thing that we was told on heck-in it was "Keep your children quite". We came there in the middle of the day, kids were actually not loud and it was very odd and unkind to say someting like that (those were not the host-parents that are nice). Also: very important note for the people that have sleeping problems (like me). Do not choose this place if you have a light sleep! This is are with numerous rooster, they crows constantly, all night long! I literally woked up every 30 minutes during the stay. My children were sleeping withouht any problems though...

We arrived early in the morning and we were greeted by grandma and welcomed with tea and snacks. We checked in immediately afterwards into our comfortable room which had a large bathroom and a good bed. This place is like our second home, always welcoming and treating us as part of the family. Any problems that we had were solved quickly, through Google translate or a message to Mrs. Linh. We extended our stay and even left and came back here since we liked it so much.

The location was great with amazing mountain view. Delicious breakfast included in price.

The bed sheets wasn’t clean.

The family were very welcoming, it was easy to hire a bicycle, scooter and arrange for laundry to be done. It felt like a home from home.

Nothing negative to report, we were sad to say goodbye.

The family who was super helpful and open

Is a good, walkable location for the caves. Breakfasts were lovely. Staff are lovely. Very good value for a couple of nights.

The stray dogs barked constantly through the night. Definitely need ear plugs. Bathroom wasn’t that clean.

Big room for 5 people.

Close to Mua caves but quite far from city centre.

Hotel is near by Hang Mua mountain.

Toilet has no lock. There is no room service or difficult to communicate with owner. Only cash payment acceptable. In night after 7:30 there is not much shop open in that area. Cleanliness in premises is not good.

Lovely location next to the Dragon hill, restaurants nearby and outstanding hospitality

Difficult to reach, often grab drivers ignore requests and far from the night life area

Great location to Hang Mua Viewpoint & a short bike ride to Tran An boat ride. Cheap bike hire. Nice pho for breakfast.

Room was very dusty with dead insects on the window sill. Bathroom tiny with shower over the toilet. Asked for a mountain view but could hardly see the mountains. Very different to the pictures advertised.

Okay enough for 1 night.

Location is a bit far from all the tourist spots. The bed was hard and not very clean.

view from the roof top, but the floor is broken u have to watch your steps

I had a bungalow and it was a dirty & smelly bad one ( the towel, bed sheats too).

Far from the city centre.

The staff (lady) was kind and friendly, the location was great, a little bit off town but just 10-15 minutes away by bike. Major are attractions are nearby.

The room did not match how it looked on Booking, not as good.

Location Outdoor pool Outdoor are

No hot water In need of some love and attention

Breakfast was amazing!

beautiful peaceful garden setting , the room was very clean and comfortable ! everything was perfect would recommend and definitely stay again ! easy to communicate with the host also

The room was big and clean, very comfortable. The aircon works. Location really close to the Mua Cave and a good restaurant in front of the house. The grandma of the family was always around and very friendly even though she didnt speak english

We only booked the room because it says that there is a kitchen available to use, but there isn't. There is only the family kitchen and they didnt let us use it. The breakfast included is asian, there is no western food available to order

Environment, country side

Clean up, make it look nicer

Beautiful Homestay in Ninh Binh, near the Mua Cave with very reasonable price. I love my room with mountain view, clean, nice breakfast and pool. Quiet, peaceful, great choice to stay at HangMua Homestay

Price

Not clean

nothing

staffs, room, the bed and bad bedsheets

Everything! Family are amazing & the bike hire is super reasonable plus in the best location so you can easily explore on the bikes!

Nothing

The view over the fields

Service was good and a something from the nesco world heritage list almost in the backjard helps with the appeal

Very good value. Nice options for breakfast. Location was amazing and bikes are cheap to rent. Clean room, comfy bed.

The girl at the front desk was rude and never in a good mood

Good motorbike, nice mám, who lend it good location, good price, check in at night, luggage storage, offered taking a shower after check out, free water, bananas

DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY, OLD, NEED MAINTANCE, RUDE YOUNG RECEPTIONIST, customers bother her, small room, does not look like pictures, the terrace Is dangerous, the wood on the floor Is roted, steep stairs there,, no electric kettle, fridge, daily cleaning althought it was advertized, We have been to many cheep accommodations, but this was the worst.

The location was very nice, because it was not directly inside the city, but moreover in a calm area with a beautiful landscape. Also, we had breakfast included that was very delicious for a low price.

The living room, as well as the bathroom were very dirty. I think it would be okay to take 2 euros more, but instead clean the rooms properly. The motorbike rental, as well as the laundry service were quite pricey for the quality. Also the pictures were not suitable for the rooms and the name for the homestay was not found in Google maps.

Homestay is 5-10 min walk to the Huang Mua viewpoint hike. We wanted to do the hike early at 6 am and did not want to bother with transportation at that time of the morning. Viewpoint was fabulous and we loved the freedom t walk there. We got a room at the homestay with a mountain view. Pool and breakfast were good. It was a little awkward using google translate to communicate with the owner, but it was fine. There are a couple restaurants near the homestay, nothing fancy. It is not the buys tourist center of Tam coc. If you want nightlife and restaurants it is an easy 10-15 min grab from here. We love nature so loved the homestay being so close to the hike -

The view from all the windows was mostly okay, but if you stood by the door, there was a beautiful view of a mountain. The walk to the back area, where my room was, beside the pool, is quite lovely with all the trees and plants. The homestay is located walking distance from Hang Mua cave and many restaurant options. You can also bike to a pebble lake. The bed was comfy, and the AC and wifi worked well. My stay started off rather poorly, but they tried very hard to improve. I was greeted daily with happy hellos and provided 2 bottles of water a day upon request. Overall, they were very nice to me and, on my last day, even invited me to share lunch with the family, which was delicious. I would return if ever in the area because I think they can improve in what i didn't like.

The coffee quality and quantity for breakfast changed from day to day. My glass was cracked with a jagged rim on the last day. When I ordered the egg sandwiches on multiple days, more often than not, I received a heel piece. I don't mind eating them, but don't expect to be served that. Some reviews say they provide bicycles for free... that is incorrect. 50k a day is what they charge. It's also supposed to be a restaurant, so i sat at a table for dinner on my second night and was greeted with a friendly hello... and then ignored for the next 5 minutes, so i went elsewhere.

It was clean & comfortable. Pool was great. Very close walking distance to Hang Mua mountain. A couple of nice eateries close by. I think Hang Mua Homestay is great value for money . Google translate has been great for corresponding.. The owner helped organize a diver for us & a late check out.

Door didn't close flush so we had a few mosquitos.

Lovely pool area and facilities with very helpful staff. Helped us to rent motorbike and taxis 👍

N/A

Nice owners, spacious room, great food. Walking distance to Hang Mua.

The service is great without being overly fussy, the host is very knowledgeable and had some great suggestions, and the hospitality was very warm and welcoming.

Wonderful place to stay, right down the road from the Hang Mua. The pool was great and the room was very nice.

The service was not forward. But I want to clarify, everyone that works there is very nice and happy to help. But you will have to ask for it, don't expect it to be offered necessarily. It was NOT a negative for me, but I wanted to mention that it's different.

great place next to the natural attraction Hang Mua, literally 500 meters 👍🏼 the owners helped with all questions, organized a transfer to Hue, allowed me to check in earlier, and after checking out - to take a shower. pleasant little things that add up to a good impression of the place 🫶🏼

View from the rooftop is magnificent

View from the rooms is just of the street or have bars across the window unless you're in the room on the uppermost floor which costs more but is fantastic

A nice and lovely family business. Comfortable, silent, all clean. I positively recommend!

Awesome pool for the kids. Host was super helpful and friendly. Close to sights and town was a short scooter or bike in. We only had to ask and we could have scooters or push bikes. Money exchange on sight with great rates. Breakfast included. Would 💯 stay again.

Nothing it was awesome

Quiet place, close to the main view point, 5/10 minutes by bike. Local restaurants and little markets 5 to 10 minutes walking. They serve nice food if you do not look to go out. Very nice breakfast.

You need to rent a motorbike or bike to reach another tourist attraction but that was not a problem at all. There was no kettle in the room as described but that is ok.

Owners/staff at homestay were absolutely brilliant. Lost my wallet in a taxi and they went out of their way to find it & they did! Quality, well priced food here too
