"Unfortunately we happened to be in Tam Coc when the typhoon hit, although that was an experience in itself. However, the owner was absolutely brilliant and is such a lovely lady, nothing is too much trouble. Tam Coc is absolutely lovely, as is the hotel. Because we were only there for three nights and two of those were affected by the typhoon we are definitely going to go back to experience Tam Coc and when we do we will make sure we stay here. It's in a lovely spot by the river and is only a 10 minute walk to the main street although having said that there are some really nice restaurants very close by. We will have absolutely no hesitation in returning back here, it is an absolute gem of a hotel."
"Perfect location for renting a motorbike and self-touring Tam Coc, Trang An, Mua Cave, Ancient Town and Bai Dinh. Lovely free cycling around the Karst’s. Beautiful walks."
"Very beautiful hotel, tastefully decorated inside and out, in a peaceful setting in the Vietnamese countryside. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. I booked two rooms, both beautiful. Daily housekeeping. The only criticism is the condition of the scooters. Otherwise, I would stay longer to recharge my batteries, but all things must come to an end..."
"Out of everywhere we stayed during our two-week trip around Vietnam, Happy Tam Coc Ecolodge was hands down the best. The property is stunning—surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush greenery, it feels peaceful and secluded, yet still super close to everything. Bich Dong Pagoda is just a five-minute walk away, and most tourist spots are only a short scooter ride.
What really made the stay special was Lily. She was so kind and helpful the entire time—genuinely one of the nicest hosts I’ve met. You can tell she truly cares about making sure guests have a great experience.
The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and breakfast was made to order every morning (and really tasty!). We also rented a scooter directly from the ecolodge, which made exploring the area super easy.
If you’re heading to Ninh Binh, I can’t recommend this place enough. It was the highlight stay of my whole trip."
"Nice spacious bungalow tucked away at the base of the escarpment.
Used the dip pool to cool off and whilst lying on the loungers we were treated to the sights and sounds of mountain goats and wild birds.
Breakfast is a varied assortment of soup, fried foods, sweet treats, fruits, juice and coffee.
All of the team are friendly, attentive and keen to assist with whatever you need.
Dragon mountain is walkable and Trang An biat station is a short bike ride."
