great hostel and the private room is incredible value and very clean. staff are very very kind and helpful. only slight issue is the location being far from Tam Coc but with the moped rental this is fine.

Nice vibes and kind hosts. Pool is tiny and was empty:( also couple ants in bed and a huge cockroach in toilet. Day tours are kind of expensive so I didn’t try. In Ninh Binh, would recommend staying in Tam Coc instead (nicer and closer to most attractions)

NO POOL! Good hostel if you want to stay in the town of ninh Binh! Quite outdated hostel( have seen better days) you could tell everyone stays in tam coc! One bathroom for 8 beds but there are more showers/toilets in the social area! Bike rental(no halfdays) Nice social and helpful staff. I bit messy with random stuff everywhere. Nice beds(capsule) but got very cramped in 8-doorm. Backpacks did not fit in the lockers. The grab had a hard time finding the hostel. No water refill( gives you tap)

Really nice family owned place near the night market. Scooters and bikes available to rent for getting to the scenic hotspots and the owner dropped me to the bus stop to travel on to my next location, highly recommended!

Such a lovely atmosphere you can really tell the owners really care about everyone that stays with them.Everything was very clean and breakfast was delicious and the owner gave us information on what there is to do in Ninh Binh which is a great touch. The puppies were a nice touch as well.☺️

Staying at the Wafami Hostel was really an amazing experience! The host was super nice and he recommended us both where to go in the days we were there and some really good restaurants. We rented both bikes and a motorbike at the hostel and it was so easy going around from there to see everything. I strongly recommend this place! The hostels family is so friendly and so helpful for everything:))

We got amazing help here!! From renting bikes (easily accessible, they have them in the hostel, and around 50min to the duck cafes etc), getting help booking Ha Long cruise and buses, she was so kind and was happy to help even though it was late at night the day before we wanted to go😅 They even ran out to give us the breakfast we bought since the car tried to leave. Loved the vibe of the hostel, it was clean, good AC, good breakfast options and again they were so kind to us.

Die Besitzer sind suuuper hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und freundlich. Sie helfen schnell bei allerlei Problemen und geben Tipps bezüglich Ausflugszielen.Es gab kostenlos Trinkwasser zum auffüllen, einen netten Innenhof und eine nette Sitzgelegenheit für das Zusammenkommen. Die Netten sind sauber, die Spinde groß genug für Rucksäcke und die Lage ist auch gut. Etwas weg vom Trubel der Stadt, aber alles ist super zu erreichen, auch zu Fuß.

Very helpful hosts and nice enough spot. Clean bathroom. However there seemed to be a lot of moisture/dampness in the dorm and dead bugs on floor when I woke up one morning. Pool was also nonfunctional during my stay

Séjour parfait! Les gérants sont tellement gentils et aux petits soins, on oubliera pas la soirée de la victoire du Vietnam face à la Thaïlande à la SEA! Les chambres étaient nickel, on peut même prendre des douches une fois qu’on a check out de la chambre. Je vous conseille vivement cette auberge si vous êtes de passage à Ninh Binh!

This is a very special place to stay. The hostel/homestay is run by a small family who welcome you like one of their own family members. They are very warm and friendly people. You can hire a scooter there, book buses for onward travel and also book day trips locally. The rooms are very nice and clean. The courtyard is really cosy. We felt very comfortable there.
