Lodges in Hoa Lu

"This family-owned resort is nestled right up against the majestic limestone karsts of Tam Coc. Great location....outside of the bustling town of Tam Coc, and so it is very quiet and peaceful, and yet just a short walk to town for dining and shopping. Our bungalow was large and comfortable. The bungalows had been recently rebuilt. The family kept to the traditional style and decor, but included many modern improvements, such as efficient air conditioning, insulation, and multiple outlets. The pool was large. The breakfast was wonderful, with both Western and Asian offerings, and plenty of fresh fruit. And the family was warm and welcoming. Kelli (perhaps the manager?) was more than friendly and helpful in every way, and spoke excellent English. We highly recommend staying here if you choose to stay in the Tam Coc area. "

"Wonderful stay, and fantastic staff, very helpful. Food was also very good. The only down side is a bit out the way and Road is not great for cars."

"This family owned hotel is very welcoming and warm! The breakfast was very good and with a good variety of fresh fruits. The bed was comfortable. Take note that some rooms are ground-level and you will only know which room you will have upon arrival. We chose the mountain view but we got our room on the ground level, so from the balcony you can't really see it due to the vegetation. "

"Beautiful spot but the room had mold everywhere (curtains, walls, ceiling) and there was black mold in the shower. Breakfast was ok but nothing was labeled and as a vegetarian I wasn’t sure what had meat or not. We ended up checking out early "

"Beautiful hotel in serene setting, great service, breakfast was outstanding."

"Comfortable and clean spot. Location is pretty central and convenient. Can walk most places. Staff are very friendly and helpful. "

"Great staff and great property"

"Great location, lovely street, helpful receptionist and all in excellent condition. 10/10 would recommend especially for the price point! "

"Whoever issues this sort of review request should check carefully before sending it. We were not able to stay at the Retreat because our flights to Vietnam were cancelled because of the war in Iran. We knew that the Retreat booking was not cancellable, but they would not offer us credit towards a future stay if we manage to re-arrange this once in a lifetime holiday. All we can say is that the Retreat was the most expensive of the places we were due to stay on our travels and therefore would hope that it lived up to the cost. We wish them well but are not likely to go there when we finally get to Vietnam. "
