Cadre calme, et le personnel super gentil et arrangeant car nous sommes arrivés à l'hôtel par le bus de nuit à 5 h du matin et on nous a mis nos chambres à disposition. Vraiment super sympa, la piscine est au top avec des chambres très spacieuses. Je recommande.

Wat een perfecte plek! Heerlijk na de drukte van Hanoi. Ruime en schone kamers, een heerlijk zwembad en het liefste personeel.
Great location, nice pool and lovely family
La Chang ens va ajudar en tot i de seguida ens va recomanar llocs per visitar. Está en una zona tranquila i un pel apartat. Que és just el que buscàvem. Habitació molt gran i uns mangos excelents.

Das Homestay liegt in einem gemütlichen Ort, etwas abseits des Trubels von Ninh Binh und Tam Coc. Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer mit Balkon. Die Besitzer sind super freundlich, zuvorkommend und haben uns sehr viel zur Gegend erklärt. Außerdem kann man im Homestay Mopeds mieten und Touren buchen.
Good location with a good swimming pool, friendly and helpful staff
Nothing in particular
The homestay is run by a super lovely family. They have a good breakfast selection, which you can pre-order. The rooms are clean and huge. The garden with the pool has a great atmosphere especially in the evening when they turn the lights on. The location is quiet, but very close to the main attractions and packed with restaurants, shops and massage places. The hosts are very helpful in giving tips for your stay, booking tickets and you can also rent bicycles and motorbikes. They even gave us a bottle of water for our overnight bus ride. Our best stay in Vietnam, absolutely recommended! Plus they have cute cats!
I felt this was a beautiful place to stay. Staff was warm and friendly. The rooms were as advertised.... A bit bare but not a problem. The room itself was spacious. The pool was nice but we didn't really have time to go into it. The breakfast was also nicely presented and tasted fine. I absolutely recommend this place.

Chin was very helpful, lovely family
Terrific location, staff is wonderful and the property is beautiful. The problem we had was in our room #8. We had a sink that leaked from its ceramic foundation and the toilet area smelled faintly of sewage. I recommend the property with great confidence - if you are not assigned room #8
Convenient location! Scooter hire at the end of the street. Massive rooms. Great food. Friendly staff.
Så underbart trevliga och service mined personal
Very spacious rooms very clean. Nice bathroom. Great staff. Cute cats. And very clean pool.
Bike rental a bit expensive.
Très bel hébergement avec un beau balcon. Le déjeuner servi sur place était très bon. Menu à la carte, avec choix fait la veille. Personnel très gentil et attentionné. La jeune femme a réservé notre transport en autobus vers Cat Ba. Il.y a des bons petits restaurants pas cher à 1 minute à pied. Possibilité de louer une moto sur place. Tout était parfait.
Rien.
Spacious room with massive beds. Extremely friendly staff. Made us breakfast rolls to take with us when we checked out before breakfast time. Great view up on rooftop. Cute cats who come and go
Quiet escape from the busy cities of Vietnam, very homely and beautiful. The family could not have done more for us and made us feel very welcome
Lovely place, breakfast great I had yellow beef noodles everyday and the people working there are very friendly and helpful.
All great
È tutto molto pulito, molto tranquillo e le persone che ti accolgono sono gentilissime! Mi hanno aiutata tantissimo a fare dei giri più “local” e ci hanno sempre accomodato nelle nostre esigenze. Davvero persone squisite.

Overall very good stay. The room is massive and very clean. The location is great to go around the area and visit the different places in Ninh Binh. Taking a scooter (that you can rent there for the day) Tam Coc is 15min away, Trang A complex 10min, Hoa Lu 15-20 min, Bai Dinh pagoda 20min. The family in the Homestay is lovely and the breakfast is also very nice. The omelette, in particular, I don’t know why, it was so good.
Very clean and nice rooms with fans and air conditioning. Staff extremely helpful and nice and breakfast was good. I accidentally booked the wrong dates and the staff were very kind in changing the dates for me.
This was a fantastic homestay in a superb location and great value for money. The family was lovely and very helpful. In a quiet setting off the main road through the village. The property is well maintained, the rooms large, bright and clean. There's a really great swimming pool too. A great menu choice and a very good home-cooked breakfast! Highly recommend Kong's Homestay ♡♡♡
There was nothing we didn't like.
Breakfast, location and beautiful area
Not in tam coc city but even better finally
Nice pool, nice food and really helpful and friendly staff. Central to the attractions in Ninh Binh with easy access to them, but down a quiet street. There are a number of really nice restaurants in the close vicinity and the hotel also has good food. It was really great after a hot outing to relax around the pool with a drink. Great value for money.
Kong’s homestay is great, lovely staff who were generous, welcoming and helpful with things to do nearby. Rooms and pool area were nice and always clean. The homestay is in a good location in a pretty village that you can easily explore.
A truly amazing experience, we would not change anything apart from extending our stay! The homestay has a family feel to it with the hosts catering to all your needs and always being happy to offer their help! All this in a sleepy, picturesque village surrounded by stunning nature and lovely locals. Thank you for having us, we would love to be back very soon, our favourite location in Vietnam so far!
That we did not have enough time to stay longer.
Wow, it's a little slice of paradise. In between trang on and tam coc in the coolest village I've been to so far. Great pool, massive room, showed up for 3 days stayed for a week!!!!
Exceptional staff who spoke English and advised us on things to do in the area. Accommodating our unique needs like a 6am breakfast. Thank you for excellent food also!
Great place to stay and very friendly hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and easy to explore all the sites on push bikes. The pool looked lovely but a bit cold so never got to try!
I think what made our stay special was the family. They made us feel like at home and my sister and I were so moved by their hospitality. We will also miss DEN, the lovely cat!
There’s nothing bad to say about it.
Loved our stay at Kongs Homestay. The staff are all so friendly and we loved the location. The room was very big and perfect for us and our baby.
Great location and value for price. Spacious room and nice hosts. Breakfast was delicious and they gave us water for the road, waving us goodbye.
Nothing; if we have to mention one tiny thing, it would be that it was quite cold when we were there and it took quite some time to warm up the room.
The family was extremely helpful and accomodating! The room was spacious and clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was great. Definitely recommend!
Second time back after 1 year. nothing to complain about, everything is great, the space seems greener than before, the food is still delicious, the people are super friendly.
The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, special mention to Trang who messaged us ahead of arrival, we arrived at 3am due to buses and she sent a video showing us how to get into the property and where our room would be located which was really helpful! Not to mention the support on showing us where to visit as well as prices for them. 150k a day moped rental was helpful, do this or rent a bike, and laundry service was really good for a wash. Breakfast was also a win with staff confirming your breakfast for the next day.
N/A would stay again
The staff were so lovely . Got up at 5.30 to do us a pack up for our journey. Great location and enjoyed exploring on bikes . Walking distance to Mau cave and Trang a boats . Easy to get a grab taxi into tam coc
Towels and bedding could be better . But for what you pay you really can’t complain
We really loved our stay at the Kong's home stay. The breakfast was very good, rooms were comfy and clean. The owner was extremely helpful e.g. we got some recommendations of what to do and which place avoid in Ninh Binh and all of them were matching our preferences. We were located in the top floor which we highly recommend for great views. The place is located between to touristic attractions with decent number of food options around. We rented the motorbike for 150k per day.
The rooms could have some cabinets or shelves to keep and organize things otherwise you have to keep everything on the floor or small table.
Huge spacious bright room, big windows with black out blinds. Such a peaceful location. Lovely restaurants within minutes of stepping out of the home stay. Very clean and feels brand new. Comfortable beds. Perfect location for exploring Trang An, Hang Mua, surrounding areas. We borrowed bikes to ride to Hang Mua, as not far at all. If you don’t want to stay in the cities of Ninh Binh or Tam Coc, I highly recommend here.
The pancakes for breakfast weren’t great but the second day we opted for local noodles and they were delicious! Lovely selection of juices and teas.
Very spacious room with big bed and both the AC unit and the fan. There were several breakfast options to choose from. The highlight was the host that spoke good english and provided several reccomendations regarding the tourist attractions.
It is perhaps not the Homestay's fault (at least we don't think so), but there seems to be some issue with homestay's address provided by booking (or with its interpretation by the navigation system) - to reach the homestay we had to follow location of the homestay indicated on google and booking maps and not the address on the booking confirmation - someting to keep in mind when trying to reach the place.
Calm and relaxing atmosphere, nice small restaurants in the surroundings, super friendly and helpful staff
Nothing.
Good family-run homestay in Trang An village. Nice location for a day or two and close to where the best boat trips leave from.
Nothing much to dislike except the nearby loudspeaker broadcasting spoken Vietnamese to the village every day for periods of 10 or 15 minutes. One day it started at 5.45am!
Great Homestay run by a really nice and caring family. The room was clean, the garden nice, breakfast was very good and I felt very welcome. It's right in the middle between a lot of sights and outside of the crowded Ninh Binh.
We loved the homy feeling. The family is adorable and Chan, the daughter who speaks English, is always available for questions and visit suggestions with a smile. The place is kept very clean, the room is large, the pool is wonderful. We recommend 100% and would be glad to go back.
Nothing
Very friendly receipt, advise and assistance by Trang. Nice location, refreshing pool, spacious room. Bikes for rent. Enough restaurants in the area.
The shower does not have a curtain/screen, but that is common in Vietnam.
Location, clean, beautiful! Great food ,but the jewel are the hosts, their hospitality and kindness.
All great.
We loved our stay, everyone was very helpful and friendly, we were given plenty of recommendations of where to visit nearby. Bikes are also available to hire on site which was excellent for travelling to nearby Tam Coc! The pool was excellent, just what is needed after exploring caves nearby in the heat!
Lovely family and home. A bit separated of the main touristic area, so much quieter, but still pretty close. We got there a bit late but they cooked dinner for us. We could rent bikes to go to the main sites, while we were eating breakfast they made sure they worked well. We had all the meals there and the food was very tasty. The pool was so refreshing after a long day! Also, they had great patience while I was trying to communicate with them in Vietnamese with google translate :) All in all, a great place to stay.
Very spacious room and excellent pool and staff who were really helpful and kind the whole of our trip.
Very friendly family. If something is not as expected just ask them. Nice swimming pool and very good fruit smoothies from the garden. The rooms are very big beds were good. Airco and swimming pool were very welcome in the hot season. You could rent a bike here to go to moa cave.
A cupboard or rack to hang your clothes would complete the room.
Gorgeous property. Super central and convenient. Best bike loaner I have used in Vietnam. Trang was such a sweetie pie and extremely helpful. She kindly packed up my breakfast Banh My for my trip on the boat and also set up a car to get me back to Hanoi for only $11. Would definitely recommend.
Nothing
Best staff ever! Great swimming pool.
The location was perfect, max 30 min walking to main atractions. Places to eat close and at good price. Family were very kind and helpful. Only the daughter speaks english ans she helpt with all, the mother is very kind and sweet and google translate helpt. Pool is refreshing, rooms are big. Very welcoming.
I even feel bad to say this because the family is so lovely and welcoming and the place is great but there 5 things to note: - Beds very hard, this is personal of course, but we got bad backpain... I should note that i keep travelling in Vietnam and most of beds are hard:( - No comfortable seats to sit. Anywhere. Only hard chairs. - Needs a table or something where to place luggage..we put all in the floor. - Maybe to do with the season, but in July there were every afternoon water in the street, you have to walk through it. Although i saw the same in many streets, be prepare with sandals all the time. - Google maps do not recognize the street. Either the taxi drivers. We were lost 15min when we arrive. Use this reference for directions: Green Diamond Hotel, the neighbords :).
Very clean and spacious family room with windows on 3 sides taking in the incredible views. Great pool too. Lovely setting away from busy Tam Coc. Great restaurants a few minutes walk away. Grab taxis easily available for short hops to the main attractions. Friendly hosts who also prepared a take away breakfast for us as we were leaving on an early train. Thank you!
Large party of noisy guests running around and playing loud music until late. Peaceful once they'd left after their short stay.
Very friendly and helpful hosts, and the place was very comfortable and well located.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kong’s home stay. The room is really spacious with a nice balcony area and views of the pool. The owners are very friendly and helpful planning our trip around Tran An and Ninh Binh. We did not have time to use of the pool but it looked clean an inviting. Nice little restaurants just 2’ walk away. We definitely recommend Kong’s Homestay.
The AC Unit took a little longer to cool down the room, but with the fan it was alright.
We loved the family. They were so lovely, helpful and accommodating. We loved the pool and garden and the fruit smoothies. Great location too.
Very nice place. Quiet, perfect clean, nice owner. Very nice pool area, for children it was perfect. We used laundry, booked motorbikes. Everything is there. Food was delicious too.
Nothing
Very peaceful and relaxing. The perfect place to stay if you want to just chill and forget everything. The lady who runs it is amazing and so kind. Rooms were absolutely spotless.
No hot water but I’m pretty sure it was our fault for neon stupid tourists haha and we didn’t really mind to much because it was roasting 👍
The stay was absolutely amazing! The room is very spacious and there’s also a nice swimming pool outdoors. The hostess is also very sweet (she can speak English fluently)! We booked a Grab to the homestay, but for some reason Grab brings you to the wrong homestay (something to keep in mind). Fortunately the hosts where so kind to pick us up with the motorbike :) The breakfast is also very delicious and the location is perfect! It’s very close to Mua Cave and Trang An.
Nothing :)
Incredibly friendly staff, great service and prime location! We stayed here for just two nights but they were so helpful throughout our stay. They allowed early check-in, rented us bikes for free and even booked bus tickets for our next tourist destination. The location was great - just a few kilometres from all the biggest tourist attractions! We had breakfast two times which was delicious home cooked Vietnamese meals with fruits and drinks included! Some of the most genuine people we’ve ever met! We highly recommend this place to everyone staying in Ninh Binh🤩
We stayed for three nights at this fantastic homestay. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, assisting us with arranging tours and providing excellent advice on places to visit. On the last morning, we overslept and missed breakfast, but they still packed us a delicious meal to go.
Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Host had a map for us showing recommendations and prices for all the attractions in the area. Food was yummy and affordable. Overall an excellent experience. Would recommend 100%
Nothing.
At Kong's homestay, you will find an unforgettable family! They are attentive, caring, and excellent cooks! The rooms are clean and bright, the pool refreshing, and the landscape beautiful. We completely fell in love with everyone who managed the homestay; we talked for hours, they gave us a lot of advice, and above all, we will never forget them. When we left, I felt very sad; I will go visit them soon, and you should too! It will make your trip truly special.
The staff were so lovely and even made us breakfast when we needed to leave for our bus a bit earlier. The room was also excellent and very clean and the garden area was amazing too.
No faults it was perfect.
The really loved the accomodation. Perfect location, the most beautiful and quiet homestay. We could rent bycicles for free, and for a reasonable price also a scooter. Also the breakfast was amazing.
Very nice and helpful host! She spoke good english and helped us with everything we needed: laundry, motorbike rent, transfer to Hanoi and gave us helpful tips about Ninh Binh. Homestay and garden is beautiful and they have a great cat!
Excellent homestay, very friendly family, gave us good advice for the Trang An visit (just 2 km away, easily reached by walk). Very nice house in a lovely garden, well decorated, in a quiet place of the village. They also propose a very good food in their restaurant. Wishing them lmuch success !
Lovely family, the daughter speaks English and helped me with everything I needed: laundry, motorbike, advice on what to do and where to go. Comfortable beds in a spacious room that is perfectly cleaned ! The restaurant serves good food and breakfast is good too. Location is great, quieter than Tam Coc but you still find everything you need. And you can walk to Trang An boat tour departure point (~20min) Look no further this place is amazing
Nothing
Our favourite stay in Vietnam! The place was beautiful, clean, with stunning views, located in a very calm part of the town, but very easy to access the many things available to do in Ninh Binh. Bed is comfortable, shower pressure great and warm, the room is large and comfy. Our hosts were so lovely and kind, always helpful and friendly, and would go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help us. They have bikes and scooters available for hire which were amazing. The breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious! It was a great experience to drink coffee and stare up at the gorgeous mountains. Cannot recommend this place enough! Please stay here if you are in Ninh Binh, you won't be disappointed :)
Nothing!
Food so delisious, staff very friendly and helpfull, she will recommend for me some place we can go, book taxi, ticket,... She and her family always smile. We feel comfortable when we stay here. Very recommend.
Beautiful room, staff always smile and helpful, she and her family so friendly, her cat so beautiful and big, food so delicious and abundant. Highly recommend and i will come back again
Excellent location, very friendly family and responsive regarding any potential problem, rooms were very nice and comfortable and the whole place is great. They offer a lot of services like food, renting motorbikes, laundry, pool, etc.
Nothing in particular

Clean and comfortable, very friendly and helpful hosts. The room was perfect, spacious, bright and had a large bed with very comfortable mattresses! It was also very soundproof and had good ac so we slept well.
