Amazing ! My favorite place in Ninh Binh. It’s my third time coming here and certainly not my last. The staff is the most adorable person I’ve met in Vietnam since I’ve moved here. The location is just magical. The food is great, the place is clean (common area and bathroom are well kept and maintained) and the room are spacious with large beddings. Prefect quiet place to come rest and enjoy

One of the best places I've stayed at. Perfect for those wanting something more remote but still accessible to the touristic areas. The sunsets here are beautiful and it is a great place to enjoy nature. Would highly recommend it!

Loveeeeed this place! Beautiful surroundings, nice food, friendly people. It is a drive from Tam Coc, but for me that was totally worth it.

Perfect place to stay if you want a little retreat / getaway from the world. Not super social because I think lots of people come here for that reason. Staff are so lovely!!! My room was a bit smelly. Showers & toilets are semi-outdoors but that’s not an issue. With the showers it’s quite nice! Highly recommend. Gorgeous setting. There is a little mini mart (shop) nearby and some restaurants if you want to change it up.

One of my favourite hostels I have stayed it in 2 months of travelling. Have to cycle/get a grab into Tam Coc which is about 20-30 minutes away but the location and scenery at the hostel makes up for this. Beds are large and super comfortable with great curtains, shelving etc. Bathrooms are always clean and new towels provided daily. Staff are so lovely and the restaurant is a great easy option for food too. Definitely recommend this hostel!

A great hostel that I highly recommend. The area is beautiful and the rooms and beds were nice, big and comfortable. There were plenty of showers and toilets. The family that runs the hostel is super nice. The breakfast is good and so is the food from the restaurant. You can rent scooters and bicycles. The only thing that’s a bit of a challenge is getting into the city without your own vehicle. Grab is expensive by car and unfortunately, scooters aren’t available in the evenings.

As long as you don't mind being a motorbike or long bicycle ride away from town this is the perfect place to stay. The views and atmosphere are incredible, food is delicious, super easy to meet people (laid back social vibe), and run by the best family. They were so incredibly kind and really made sure everyone had everything they needed.

Das Hostel ist sehr cool, ein gechillter und liebevoller Ort der zum Rest der Natur in Ninh Binh passt. Vorsicht, es ist weit weg vom Trunel in Tom Coc, man solle es einfach wissen. Das Hostel ist sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Staff ist nett, spricht aber 0 english.. grad wenn man mit dem Nachtbus kam und vor Check-In Zelt da ist, ist es echt mühsam und alle sind überfordert… Empfehlung auf jeden Fall wenn man kein Partyhostel sucht ;)

Truly amazing hostel, I was sad to leave. Very peaceful and laid back vibe but still social within. The dorms and bathrooms are also really nice, clean, and spacious. Be aware that this is in Trang A which is close to the boat ride but relatively far from tam coc where other tourist sites are. If you prefer to be away from the noise and tourist traps and don’t mind a drive or bike definitely stay here!

Best hostel we've stayed in. Rooms had everything you could need, free breakfast was excellent and the views fom the hostel were lovely. Only downside was that it was a 40 minute cycle into town.

One of the best hostels I've ever been to! I would spent a week here just chilling out and you can rent a bike to explore the surrounding!!

Had a lovely stay here! Location was so nice with the view of the hills! Beware though that it’s further out from Tam Coc, but just a 20 minute bike ride away. So if you don’t mind this is a perfect place to stay! After have been to Tam Coc for lunch I really looked forward to get back to the peace at Forest Sunset Hostel! Staff was very sweet and helpful! Clean rooms and showers. I’d highly recommend staying here :)

This hostel is in a beautiful location despite being a bit out of the way! I visited Tam Coc briefly and I can confirm it’s worth staying here instead! You can rent a bicycle for 70k for the day & use that to get everywhere and it’s a really lovely way to get around. Or you can use Grab if you prefer which is inexpensive. The rooms are really really comfortable and bathrooms very clean. You can use all the facilities after you check out as well which is great if you have a sleeper bus later

Most amazing and beautiful stay away from the chaos. Perfect location to the boat tour and mom’s cooking class. Views are out of this world. And such a clean hostel with the most comfortable beds.
