Guest Reviews
- Simona (9/5): - V tomto hotelu jsme byli velmi spokojeni. Pokoje byly krásné, čisté a postele měly opravdu kvalitní matrace, takže jsme se skvěle vyspali. Velkým plusem byly také nádherné výhledy z pokojů do okolní přírody, které dodávaly pobytu klidnou a příjemnou atmosféru.
Ubytování je navíc dobře dostupné a zároveň se nachází mimo rušný městský ruch, což jsme velmi ocenili.
Snídaně byla každý den výborná – vždy jsme se předem domluvili na tom, co si dáme, a vše bylo čerstvě připravené. Obzvlášť jsme ocenili čerstvý pomerančový džus a ovoce, které nechyběly ani jeden den.
Hotel má také velký bazén, u kterého se skvěle relaxuje.
Majitel, jeho žena i syn byli velmi přátelští, milí a ochotní se vším pomoci, což celý pobyt ještě zpříjemnilo. Zvlášť bychom chtěli poděkovat majiteli za jeho přístup v situaci, kdy jsme měli střevní potíže po jídle z restaurace – maximálně nám pomohl, připravil nám dietní jídlo a nabídl i pozdější check-out.
Určitě můžeme tento hotel doporučit a rádi se sem někdy vrátíme. Koše z koupelny a pokoje nebyly ani jednou za pobyt vyneseny, což trochu zkazilo dojem.
- Anh (10/5): Great location with great people. - Just checked out from my stay at Limestone View Homestay and all I can say is that this home is an incredible place to see Ninh Binh from. The location is excellent because it’s such a quick ride to all the major tourist attractions, but it’s secluded enough to get a break from the city. The family who owns and runs the home-stay are so kind and thoughtful. Breakfast is offered every morning upon request and all the ingredients are picked up the same morning at a local market. Our breakfast of Bun Cha was the best I’ve eaten through my stay in Vietnam.
And the views! Oh my GOD the view from the rooms and the rooftop pool and the dining area are unreal. It feels like looking at a postcard, but it’s right in front of you. The room was clean, the bed was nice and firm, and the ac unit cooled the room down to about 70*F.
And then to top it off, the host family greets you by name when you walk in, gives you a hand drawn map of the local sights to see and places to eat, and will help you flag down your Grab driver.
My husband and I loved our stay here. We felt so welcomed from the second we stepped inside. The next time we’re in Ninh Binh, we won’t stay anywhere else, and we’ll be encouraging our parents to stay here as well. Thank you to Mr. Dzung and your family for an incredible experience! We can’t wait to visit again! N/A

- FJ (10/5): Enjoyable two days at a quiet, nice place close to nature - The location was great! Not too busy with a beautiful view and a very nice room. We loved the friendliness of our hosts, Dzung and his wife. They were always there for us and helped us with everything. The
view was amazing and the homemade breakfast was a nice start of our day.
- Basili (5/5): - Room and beds. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was great. Pictures does not give the feeling of the place. Atmosphere in the hotel was not nice. Hotel is far away from everything and you need bikes for everything.
- Tingzhu (10/5): Amazing location and even better hosts, it’s where we would stay again if we came back! - Amazing location and the perfect base for us to explore the area. I can’t recommend the location enough there is great views from every room. The host and his wife are incredibly kind and helped us plan and coordinate everything we wanted to do in the area. Gave great recommendations for where to eat as well. Trust them! Nothing really, everything was better or above expectations.
- Becky (10/5): This was a really lovely central spot to bike around the area and get a sense of this special part of Vietnam. - We enjoyed this part of our trip so much. While we were very comfortable and well taken care of while we were there, we really enjoyed having conversations and getting to know Dzung and his family. His pride for his home, the area surrounding, and his country is evident and appreciated.
- Rong (10/5): Excellent - The host, Dzung, is very warm and friendly—he enjoys chatting with guests and is always happy to help with any requests. The room is spacious with a beautiful mountain view, and the breakfast is carefully prepared by him and his wife. The rooftop offers a stunning view. The property is also conveniently located just a short distance from the Trung An boat dock.
- James (10/5): The most wonderful hosts that made us feel right at home - Home cooked breakfast everyday was wonderful. Location was in perfect central location. Nothing. Everything was excellent
- Claudia (10/5): Klasse 👍🏻 - Soooooo ein aufmerksamer und netter Gastgeber!!!!
Zimmer mit riesigen Fenstern 😊🥰 Alles war super

- julio sevares (10/5): - muy buen alojamiento en relación al precio, muy limpio y tranquilo. muy buena ubicación, muy buen desayuno, muy buena atención de sus dueños. muy recomendable
- Elise (10/5): Incredible time had, in great comfort, an ideal location for spectacular views, with wonderful hosts - Dzung and his family were the most wonderful hosts!They made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Breakfast each day was great and very filling! The room was very spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. Dzung was so helpful with information about local places and plans, and organised anything we asked him to assist with, so quickly and easily. Location is perfect if you are interested in doing the river boat tours in either Trang An or Tam Coc. Our entire stay was perfect and we highly recommend a stay at Limestone View Homestay. Nothing! We loved our experience here.
- Antoine (10/5): - Accueil très chaleureux avec de bons conseils pour visiter la région !
Très bon petit déjeuner
Très bien situé, prêt de vélos pour la journée
- Helen (10/5): Hosts were amazing and organised absolutely everything for us .. trips, taxis and great restaurants. - Great facilites, great hosts, great location and absolutely loved staying here. The breakfasts were fantastic and everything was spotless clean.
- Lyth (10/5): Lovely area and an entertaining host - Ninh Binh is a fantastic area to stay and our host Dzung made our time at Limestone View very memorable. He made us feel very welcome after a long journey down from north Vietnam and then through Hanoi. We enjoyed 3 very different breakfasts served by Dzung and his wife - pancakes, scrambled eggs & a Full Vietnamese. We were keen to explore the area by bicycle and Dzung was happy to lend us a couple of bikes for our time there. He also provided us with his homemade map of the area and gave us advice about places to visit and the best times to go. He also arranged a taxi to the airport when we had to return to the UK. He is a very entertaining host and we were really glad we met him.
We can't wait to come back to Ninh Binh and spend a bit more time there.

- Nili (10/5): -
- Elisabeth (10/5): - Mr Dzung and his wife are the perfect hosts.
The rooms are nice and clean and the view is spectacular. For breakfast we were served the best pancakes in Vietnam. Highly recommend!
- Antoine (10/5): Excellent accueil - Dzung est absolument charmant et une encyclopédie sur la région, avec beaucoup d’informations pertinentes.
- Bruno (10/5): A lovely stay in an authentic Vietnamese village. The host and his family were friendly and helpful. - I actually don't know where to begin. I stayed at the Limestone View Homestay with my girlfriend and we loved every single day there. The host, Dzung, and his family were extremely friendly and made us feel at home right from the beginning. Every day, Dzung's wife would prepare a tasty and nutritious breakfast with a good selection of fresh fruits, tea/coffee, and proteins. Our room was clean and spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We even had a lovely balcony with a beautiful view over the mountains. We asked for a laundry service and we got our clothes, clean and folded, very quickly. Several bikes are available, all quite sturdy and well maintained. The homestay is well located in the heart of a lovely village. Everything regarding the accommodation was perfect, but what made the experience truly unforgettable was our host and his family, who helped us with lots of information, advices and anecdotes about the surroundings and the beautiful Vietnamese culture. Finally, there are several food options a few minutes walk/bike from the homestay, and it's very easy to catch a taxi and reach every major attractions in the area. Dzung actually helped us organize some of them, which was very nice. Another important note: the area around the accommodation was very quite at night, with very few cars and motorbikes driving by. In the room there is air conditioning. In summary, thank you Dzung & family for everything, we hope to come back soon in the near future! Sometimes in the evening somebody was singing karaoke and the music was a bit loud, but thankfully it would stop late at night and sleeping wasn't an issue.
- Juliette (10/5): Beautiful stay with such a kind family - Everything! It was beautiful and clean and Dzung and his family made the stay so great. We felt totally welcomed, they made us breakfast every morning and helped with everything we could have possibly needed. Can’t recommend staying here enough
- Jennifer (10/5): - Dzung und seine Familie sind super aufmerksamene, freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir konnten schon um 6 Uhr morgens ein paar Stunden in einem Zimmer schlafen und duschen, da unser Bus so früh in Ninh Bin ankam und unser gebuchtes Zimmer noch belegt war. Sie haben uns bei unseren Ausflügen geholfen, uns gute Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt gegeben. Die Zimmer sind groß und mit atemberaubenden Aussicht. Das Frühstück ist super.
- Kyle (10/5): Great local stay, great hosts. - This is a small family run guest house. It’s located in a local village in a quieter area surrounded by incredible scenery. The location is really convenient to get to the different tourist attractions or into Ninh Binh city/Hoa Lu. Lots of restaurants a short walk or cycle away. Our room was huge, it had everything we needed, a big comfortable bed, great shower and a nice balcony with chairs. The place was very clean. There’s also a really nice rooftop with a long swimming pool. The hosts were amazing. They’re genuinely friendly and incredibly helpful. They’re the type of hosts you remember years later. They also make a really nice breakfast and are really flexible with the time so you won’t miss out if you actually want to sleep in a bit on your vacation.
- Xavier N. (9/5): Propriétaires adorables pour une maison confortable et très bien située - Le couple de propriétaires est adorable avec de très bons conseils. Très grande chambre, confortables avec des grands lits. Bon petit déjeuner. L'emplacement est très bien au milieu des pains de sucre de Ninh Binh. Plusieurs restaurants à proximité. RAS
- Jodie (10/5): -
- Nguyen Thi (9/5): - Good location / Very welcoming host / given the location the swimming pool was large enough to do some good swimming laps / personslized & good breakfast
- BRET (10/5): - We had the best time ever and we have been travling for 20 years so to say EVER is quite a statment. THANK YOU we already miss you two cant wait to get back.
- Theresa (10/5): Beste Ninh Binh Unterkunft die man sich wünschen kann - Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt bei Dzung und seiner Familie, wirklich sehr empfehlenswert 😊😊 Es war alles perfekt ♥️
- Marine (10/5): - Le calme du logement et la vue imprenable sur les montagnes
L'hospitalité de Duñg et de sa femme
Le petit déjeuner delicieux
La literie exceptionnelle
- Ramona (9/5): Perfekte Lage, freundliche Familie, Empfehlung für alle Vietnam-Neulinge - Perfekte Lage wenn man nicht mitten drin aber trotzdem nah dran sein will. Alles ist easy mit dem Fahrrad erreichbar. Die Familie ist sehr nett und engagiert, kein Wunsch bleibt unerfüllt und auch das Frühstück mit der tollen Aussicht ist lecker. Auch wenn es für den Pool etwas zu kalt war und Hochzeitsbedingt auch etwas lauter als sonst, habe ich meinen Stop hier sehr genossen. Als Vietnam-Neuling musste ich feststellen, dass ländlich nicht unbedingt ruhig bedeutet. Das gilt aber für alle Unterkünfte, die ich auf meiner Reise hatte. Ohrstöpsel und NC-Kopfhörer sind dein Freund.
- delacre (10/5): - Super emplacement
Gentillesse et accueil des propriétaires
Vue magnifique
Super petit déjeuner
Chambre très grande
- VALERIE (10/5): séjour riche humainement et endroit bien situé pour visiter - Dzung et son épouse sont des hôtes adorables.
Dzung parle quelques mots de français et apprend avec plaisir
le petit déjeuner est excellent pancake fruits frais jus orange frais et café vietnamien Nous n'avons pas tenté le petit déjeuner vietnamien
plein d informations pour visiter ,des vélos à disposition ,possibilité de louer un scooter à la journée
chambre simple lit immense belle vue depuis la chambre attention homstay isolé mais proche de pleins de beaux endroits rien
- Gillian (7/5): Couldn’t fault the owner and his wife, charming and delightful but to be prefectly for the same price there were boutiq - The owner and his wife were delightful.
Free bikes to borrow. The surrounding town wasn’t up to much, the rooms were very basic and the pool area very uninviting.
- Tamara (4/5): Lovely, friendly hosts might compensate for noisy location - Amazing hosts, welcoming, extremely friendly and helpful, you could not expect nicer people. The rooms are very clean, and breakfast is good and served either a lively smile. The property is situated on a busy intersection, which is very noisy at rush hour, especially at 6 in the morning, so don’t expect a quiet late morning. The photos of the property on book g are a little misleading so don’t be surprised when you arrive
- Debbie (8/5): Enjoyed being right amongst the karsts - We loved staying here at Limestone View. We had a stunning view from our room, and I mean stunning! The pool area was very lovely, pool looked spotless. Sadly because of a lot of rain we never ended up using it.
We really liked the location. The little walk across the causeway between the rice fields was a really nice way to get to town, 5-10 minute walk, especially beautiful returning at night. It was nice not to be in the chaos of town but immersed in nature instead.
Breakfast was great and plentiful.
Of course a highlight of the stay was how lovely the sisters who run the place are, always a smile and a little chat. Helpful when needed. The room was quite simple, everything functioned well, clean and comfortable. No problem for us, all the good points outweighed that, but if you are after luxury probably not the place for you.
- Michael (10/5): Wonderful stay in beautiful and serene village with gracious hosts - Limestone View was absolutely perfect in many ways. First, the owner, and his wife, Dep, are gracious and very generous. Dzung provided us with nice bikes to view the area and suggested beautiful routes to ride away from the noise and traffic of Tam Coc. The room was spacious and quiet with serene views. Morning breakfasts were ample with incredible Vietnamese coffee. It was Dzung and his boutique hotel that swayed us to spend another day in this beautiful and serene area. Highly recommend! Perfect location in beautiful village
- Mario (10/5): lovely homestay in ninh binh - it was one of my best stays in vietnam. the host dzung and his wife supported me in any way and made me feel like home. beautiful view, customized breakfast, top location - definitely would come again!
- Pierre (9/5): -
- nadia (10/5): - Great location in the village and to all the great spots including the caves. The hosts were fantastic. For breakfast you could choose Vietnamese or other. Food was fresh and tasty. We rode a bike provided by the home stay around. We had a great time.. I would go back.
- Susana (9/5): -
- 7LeagueBoots (9/5): Very nice place to stay. A little silly in some ways, but great people and location, and it's quiet - Very nice owners and extremely helpful and accommodating. Great location and good views from the rooms.
Breakfast was simple, but good and filling. Large, clean room, nice balcony.
Quiet. The room, while nice, was not very well appointed, especially considering its size, there was a lot of unused open area. The couch was far too small, barely large enough for 2 people to squeeze into. A room that size should have a larger couch, several chairs, and a desk. Aloso, odd choices on where money was spent, as an example, the floors and wall were all tiled in marble, but there were no hooks to hang towels from to dry.
- Olivier (9/5): Super séjour avec un accueil charmant - L’accueil est vraiment adorable un couple charmant et qui veut bien faire! L’emplacement est top et les chambres spacieuses! C’est appréciable d’avoir une piscine
- Cesar64 (10/5): Der viel zu kurze Ausflug nach Ninh Binh war die lange Reise nach Vietnam wert! - Hätten wir vorher gewusst, wie schön und authentisch es in Ninh Binh ist, wären wir so gerne länger geblieben! Wir hatten als Familie ein riesiges Zimmer mit zwei sehr großen kingsize Betten. Die Wände und der Boden aus wunderschönem Marmor. Die Aussicht war fantastisch, es war alles sehr, sehr sauber, die Gastgeber überaus zuvorkommend und freundlich.
Das Frühstück: 2 große Teller frisches Obst und pancakes. Super lecker!!! Ganz herzlichen Dank! Ninh Binh war die Reise nach Vietnam wert!
- Fanny (10/5): - Accueil exceptionnel, gentil, attentionné et de bons conseils. Hotel avec une vue directe sur la nature, des chambres immenses et propres, une piscine agréable et un petit déjeuner excellent ! Encore merci pour ce moment exceptionnel
- chen (10/5): -
- Joel (10/5): Absolute Treat to book this accommodation! - The hosts are superb made me feel like family and explained the area and gave insight for anything and everything needed. The breakfasts and roof top swimming pool was amazing! There is absolutely nothing to dislike about my stay!
- Marie-claude (10/5): Wonderful and special place! - We had the best time at Limestone view homestay! First off, the location is great in between Trang An and Tam Coc. We went to both places by bike. Really nice scenery! The homestay is very comfortable with big rooms. The pool was great after biking in the warm weather. The breakfast is the best with homemade pancakes and loads of fresh fruit and fresh pressed juice. But what made this place extremely special were the owners. Dzung and Dęp are really great host. They gave us a lot of information about the area and they are the sweetest couple. Thank you very much Dzung and Dep! Everything is perfect!
- Tuan (10/5): Kind and caring host - Glad to stay with Mr Dzung and Ms Dep. They went beyond to make sure our stay were enjoyable. The location is perfect as you can bike to most of the attractions such as Mua cave, Trang A boat tour and Tam Coc town and boat tour, breakfast were well prepared. Room was spacious and clean
- Isabel (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely homestay. The host Dzung is so welcoming and his family (who help with running the homestay) are so sweet. When I arrived Dzung talked me through an itinerary for my stay there and what I could realistically do in the time I had, which was super helpful to get my bearings. I ended up going to Trang An boat tour and Hang Mua viewpoint, which were both a short bicycle (which you can borrow from Dzung) ride away. The view from my room was truly stunning, and the room itself was massive and clean. Being marble really helps keep things cool too. Breakfast was included and absolutely delicious. Bear in mind that this is a quieter area, so take that into account if you want to be in the centre of nightlife (though you can get a Grab pretty easily if you just want to drop in one night).
- Christopher (10/5): Our favorite place in all of Vietnam! - In a word, everything. The homestay is located in a quiet part of Ninh Binh that’s very walkable and there are plenty of good local restaurants very close by. The views from the 3rd floor dining area and rooftop deck and pool are spectacular and we loved spending time up there taking in the sites.
The host, Dzung, and his family were so welcoming and hospitable doing everything from cooking delicious breakfast to just saying a friendly hello or goodbye when coming or going from the property. Dzung provided great recommendations for how to best see the different tourist sites in the area, where to get a good local meal, and even suggested a lovely biking route through the rice fields one evening. Providing bikes as well! We had a wonderful stay and wish we could have spent more time there!
- Annonymous (10/5): Exceptional - THE place to stay in Ninh Binh.
Perfect location - close to everything and well connected to the country side, quiet and authentic (unlike Tam Coc).
Big and clean rooms, awesome breakfast, great swimming pool.
Dzung & Dep made us feel at home and are very generous.
They were both super helpful and kind to us, making our visit in Ninh Binh a smooth joyful ride.
Book your stay there - you won't regret :) Nothing, 10/10
- Noel (10/5): Get out of the town and enjoy a local stay with fantastic hosts - A fantastic quiet location away from the city. Amongst the locals and walking distance to restaurants. A rooftop pool for those hot days and an easy cycle to Mua Cave, Lying Dragon climb & Trang A boat tours.
Dzung and his family are lovely people who will do anything to help you organise a great time.
He has free bicycles and organised a well priced private car to Hanoi Airport.
Great pancake breakfasts, fresh fruit and spotlessly clean Hotel. I loved the honesty bar fridge. Nothing
- Frances (9/5): Very nice small hotel, very friendly helpful family - Very nice small hotel, very friendly helpful family who run it. Unlike many properties in this rural area, it doesn’t have a garden area, but it does have a nice small roof terrace
- Alessandro (10/5): Dzung and his family are exceptional hosts. They gave us so many tips, welcomed us in their home, and let us enjoy the T - The hospitality, the tips, and in general the amazing help from Dzung and his family! We really felt welcomed.
- Cerise (10/5): Perfectly located, comfortable stay & amazing hosts - Dzung and his wife are probably the kindest, warmest and liveliest hosts in the whole of Vietnam. In addition to everything they did to make us feel comfortable, Dzung brought me a new bike when I got a flat tire and his wife brought me back a piece of jewellery I had forgotten in the room, all the way to the bus station in a pouring rain.
The room was very very clean, we were provided fresh towels at mid stay and used the laundry service (30.000 VND/kg). Our family room was very spacious with beautiful marbled walls and floors, big confortable beds and efficient AC and fan. We particularly appreciated the beautiful views from our room and the common areas as well as the refreshing roof top swimming pool.
The homestay is ideally located, it is easy to bike to every places of interest and the neighbourhood is in a quieter area than the hyper touristy Tam Coc. Dzung gives great advice on what to visit and when and gave us good recommendations of restaurants that serve local food.
Breakfast is great, we had Dzung’s wife delicious banana pancakes on the first day then Vietnamese food twice –always served with fresh juice and fruits.
Thanks again Dzung & family for this unforgettable stay. Moving to our next location felt like leaving family!
- Keira (10/5): A wonderful homestay, wish we could have stayed longer - We had a wonderful stay with Dzung and his family, he really made us feel at home in his house. The homestay is really close to all of the Trang An sites and free bikes allowed us to ride everywhere. The rooms are spacious and clean and the pool on the roof was perfect after a morning spent cycling. Breakfast was delicious with homemade pancakes and fruit. We couldn’t recommend Dzung’s place more, if you’re in Trang An you must stay here Nothing
- Danny (10/5): This place is absolutely incredible! - Oh my goodness, this place is absolutely incredible! The host and his lovely family at Limestone View Homestay are absolutely top-notch. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay with them is absolutely unforgettable. They communicate so well, and the property is simply fantastic. The host is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us the best insights into the area. He recommended so many amazing restaurants, tourist attractions, and even gave us a glimpse into the local way of life in Ninh Binh. It was an absolute delight!
- Nathan (10/5): Perfect place to stay while exploring the area - Host was very nice and helpful, room far exceeded expectations for a home stay. Everything in the room was new and very comfortable. The stay included a free bike to use, which was great for exploring the town. Breakfast was tasty, fresh local fruit and banana pancakes one day, fruit and eggs the second morning (you get a choice each day). Would definitely stay here again. Nothing I can think of, this place is perfect!
- Clare (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location, Dzung and his family are so welcoming and helpful. We really appreciated everything, thank you.
- Cristina (10/5): Fantastic - Everything. The hosts are great. Nothing
- Eddy (10/5): Friendly hosts and convenient location - Dzung and his family were a special kind of wonderful- very friendly and helpful, and full of tips and stories! The homestay is very well located and provides complimentary bicycles, which was a great way to access the sigjts during the day. Breakfast was made from scratch and really delicious - I especially appreciated the fresh fruit (mango, pomelo, pineapple). Thank you so much for hosting us and letting us peek into your world.
- Kathy (10/5): Great homestay - This is quite a place and I say that in a most positive way. The Dzung family welcomed us into their home and treated us like family. We booked for 2 nights and stayed 4. Huge room, lovely breakfast room and delicious breakfasts. Good location near restaurants and sights. Grab was easy to use. We loved learning more about Vietnam and local life and we would definitely return.
- Connor (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and host
- Joshua (10/5): Exceptional - Dzung and Diep are the most friendliest and most kind people we’ve met in Vietnam.
- Kevin (9/5): Lovely hosts and great breakfast - Big room and bed. Large shower that worked well. Excellent friendly and very helpful hosts. Very good breakfast. Nice view from our bedroom (304). Very clean. No shelf in bathroom for toiletries or mirror in the bedroom.
- Justine (10/5): Exceptional - Mr. Dzung and his wife enthusiastically took care of us from the minute we arrived until the minute we left, from making us a variety of breakfasts to adjusting our bicycle seats (for a family of 9), reheating our restaurant leftovers for lunch, scraping down our shoes after a muddy hike, and arranging our transfer to Hà Nội. We are very grateful for the family's thoughtfulness and warmth.
- Tomasz (10/5): Exceptional -

- John (10/5): Great experience, amazing host, good location - Amazing experience I do recommend this place for other travellers
- Eileen (9/5): Great place to stay near Ninh Binh out of the city hustle and bustle - This property was in an excellent location. We were able to bike (bicycles provided by host) to Trang An and Tam Coc very easily. We also got a real feel for the local area being able to ride around the rice fields and little towns. There are some restaurants nearby in walking distance to enjoy local cuisine. Our host was fabulous. He was very responsive ahead of our stay helping to arrange transportation. He was also very helpful and knowledgeable with things in the area. We had delicious breakfasts prepared by our hostess banana pancakes with local honey and traditional Vietnamese pork and rice dish, which were served in a room with beautiful views of the limestone karsts.
- James (10/5): Great spot to explore Ninh Binh, helper by friendly host. - An ideal location in a peaceful part of Ninh Binh. Dzung bends over backwards to help his guests and is an enthusiastic host. Nothing
- Denise (10/5): Great quiet location to visit Limestone mountain area. - Zhung helped me with everything I needed or wanted to do. Good breakfast of banana pancakes. Good view from balcony and convenient for boat trips in Trang An and Tam Coc as well as National Park and 500 steps at Hàng Mua. Very good experience. Nothing
- Carolyn (10/5): Best hotel experience in my 70 years! - Gorgeous marble and granite walls and floors. Excellent building design. Great use of space. Beautiful views from every angle!
Outstanding hospitality. Super food. Soft linens. Provided bikes to ride and even a ride on their motorbike! Beautiful family! It was all great!
- Shane (10/5): 3 day stay in Ninh Binh - This was a perfect place to stay. Dzung and his wife are so friendly. Showed us all the things to do in the area. Organized rides for us. They really care about their guests. Would recommend anyone to stay here.
- Amber (6/5): Nice hosts but loud location- not relaxing - The hosts here were very kind, and always willing to help with directions or activities. Hot water was excellent and the room was spacious, breakfast was delicious. The location of this spot was not for me- extremely loud 4-6am one morning with a loudspeaker blaring, and neighbors blasting music in the afternoon. It was right on a busy street (which I didn’t realize when booking) and I could hear constant noise, didn’t sleep well. There also weren’t many restaurants within walking distance at nighttime.
- Niccolò (10/5): Best homestay in Vietnam - Everything, from the delicious breakfast to the cozy room with a massive bed, large windows overlooking the surrounding mountains, and marble tiles, was perfect. The homestay is located in a peaceful area, just outside Ninh Binh, 3–4 km from Hoa Lu ancient town. It’s easily accessible by taxi, bike, or scooter (they provide bikes at the homestay). The area is stunning, with many great spots to explore just a few kilometers away.
And, of course, Mr. Dung and his wife were incredibly kind and welcoming, even inviting us to dinner on New Year’s Eve.
If we ever return to Ninh Binh, we’ll stay here again!
- Patricia (9/5): A simple, clean and comfortable homestay with very accomodating owners. We would recommend. - The location is midway between the major attractions and were reachable by push bikes which were provided free of charge. You could order either a Western or Vietnamese breakfast with fresh fruit and fresh juice. The rooms were quiet and clean with comfortable beds. The owner speaks very good English and was forever helpful. There is no TV in the rooms or safe deposit box.
- Florence (8/5): Very good - Warm welcome and explanation of possible activities. Very nice breakfast. Free bikes to go around , we cycled everywhere.
- Sean (10/5): - Amazing hotel! We had such an awesome stay with such a cool view! We were treated with such kindness by Dzung and his wife. They were so gracious, charming and helpful. He provided us so much helpful information about the town and activities, loaned us bikes to use for the day, and they made us a great breakfast every day. Our room was great and we got to explore so much of the town! A huge thanks to Dzung and his wife for facilitating such a great time in their beautiful town. An 11 out of 10!
- Mick (10/5): Exceptional stay in Trang An - Last minute booking, arrived early, welcomed at the door by super friendly and helpful owner. Imparted so much local knowledge, made our two night stay very enjoyable.
- Beau (8/5): Very good - Just delightful. Dzung and his wife couldn’t f do o enough for us. Fabulous position th of everything. Great value.
- Trang (10/5): - Nice people running the place. Clean facilities. Fits if you want an “oldschool” BnB vibe.
Not much in area at night.
- Jon (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, huge room, amazing views, warm and helpful hosts!
- Antoni (10/5): A dream stay - The property is located in an absolutely fantastic location - close to Ninh Binh, Tam Coc as well as Trang An, while overlooking a beautiful limestone. Dzung and his family were fantastic hosts to us, helping us airport transfer, scooter rental and stayed in constant communication with us through Whatsapp. Every morning we were treated to some amazing coffee that came with delicious banana pancakes with lychee honey and a fruit serving. The swimming pool was quiet and overlooking the whole city. We would be absolutely glad to come back. Nothing, it was excellent.
- Myra (10/5): Wonderful stay with a wonderful host. - We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Limestone View Homestay. It had beautiful views and a modern room that was very clean with very comfortable furnishings. The location was great, within walking distance to the Trang An boat ride (which we did 3x) and Mua Cave. Restaurants in town were less than a 10 minute walk. Rooms had excellent noise insulation and was very quiet. The best part of our stay, however, was meeting the owner, Dzung. He was a super wonderful host from the initial greeting to when we said goodbye. We loved his friendly and funny personality. He was able to recommend activities and help with transportation. His wife made fantastic home made breakfasts. We can’t say enough how wonderful Dzung was and how much we loved staying at his vacation rental. We highly recommend this place and will for sure return when we are in the Nihn Bihn area!! Nothing! All was great!
- Kerry (10/5): Perfect location for exploring Ninh Binh. Dzung and his family were very welcoming and extremely helpful. - Perfect location for exploring Ninh Binh.
Dzung and his family were very welcoming and extremely helpful. Nothing!
- Rhonda (10/5): Exceptional - Our hosts Dzung and Deb were the most friendly and helpful people we have had the pleasure of meeting.
Daily breakfasts were a treat.
Dzung gave us an introduction into the local area and some insight into vietnamese history.
We will definitely be back. Nothing.
Even the fact that construction was being carried out didn't spoil our stay .
As our hosts were apologetic, and they were putting in an elevator and repairing some damage from the typhoon.
It is so good to see a small family business striving to be their best.
- Sarah (10/5): - Our family of 4 (includes 2 teenagers) really enjoyed our stay here. Wonderful family run homestyle type hotel. Located in small village surrounded by limestone mountains, the view from balcony is lovely. Old bikes are provided free of charge so we took off exploring the countryside. You can ride to Trang An and Mua Cave and walk to local restaurants at night. There is also a rooftop pool. Rooms are basic but very clean and have everything you need. The family who run it are extremely friendly and helpful.
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Dzung is the best host you can ask for. You literally feel like you are staying with a friend or a relative. He goes above and beyond. Even helped us arranging transportation from Ha Noi and within Ninh Binh. His wife Dep was so wonderful and kind. She makes the best banana pancakes ever. She also helped us with our laundry. His facilities are top notch. Room was extremely spacious with beautiful shower and view. Location is perfect situated between Tam Coc and Trang An so you have access to everything including Ninh Binh. That we only stayed 2 nights there. Definitely could be longer.
- Liam (10/5): Vietnamese hospitality at its finest . So glad we chose this Homestay - This was our first time in Vietnam and our first experience of Vietnamese hospitality ! Dzung and his wife were amazing . Fed us well for breakfast , they were so helpful with everything u needed. Great location with beautiful views of the limestone mountains. Restaurants for lunch and dinner walking distance from the property the people in the village there were lovely . All close by for the local attractions Nothing . We didn’t want to leave ☺️
- Laura (10/5): The most amazing family homestay in Ninh Binh. - We had the most amazing experience at this homestay. Dzung and his wife Dep treated us like we were family from the moment we arrived to the moment we left and made us and our children feel very special. They are truly the friendliest, most beautiful people and we were so grateful for their hospitality during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean and the location was fantastic - easy to get to all the main attractions and some great local restaurants, walking or via grab/taxi. Waking up with the view of the limestone peaks was incredible, it really felt like we were in a different world, and that we were able to experience local life. The breakfast was also so good - amazing banana pancakes and fresh fruit with delicious local honey. And the coffee!! Thank you for hosting us - we had the best time.
- Shirley (10/5): Made us feel welcomed and part of the family. - Location was great. Has a great 18m roof top swimming pool (fourth floor). Host was very welcoming and helpful. Lovely breakfast of pancakes and fresh fruit. Nothing to not like.
- Jane (9/5): Superb -
- Juan (10/5): Extraordinary as being at home - Exclusive and personal service from the owner
- Alex (10/5): Favorite stay in Vietnam - We loved out stay at Limestone View. Everything was exceptional - I can’t imagine coming back to Limestone and not staying with Dzung, Dep and their family. The rooms are spotless clean, the beds were large and comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. The location is great, as you are cycling distance from all of the attractions, but in a nice quite area central to each. For a place so surrounded by nature, we never had any bugs in the room at all — it was so clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great, they did laundry for us, made us various coffees to try in the morning, plus plus plus plus! Just book a stay here if you are looking at options. Everything was great
- Josh (10/5): Was such a relief and reprieve to escape the business and have true hospitality and peace. It’s what I had hoped to find - Amazing customer service. Great pool. Great food. Great breakfast and quiet! Nothing
