Green Mountain Homestay

I loved my stay at Green Mountain. The family are so helpful and arranged transport from the airport and to Hanoi for me. They also give helpful suggestions in a book about day trips. The food is delicious! Great breakfast! It’s a little chilly if you come when it’s raining/wet season but the rooms have stone baths which are so nice to relax in. I had a great stay and the nature and relaxing environment made for a very peaceful visit

Great location, although the place seems quite antisocially designed (as a hostel).

Really nice hotel with really good food! Our friends were jealous that they didn’t book the same one. I would even just go here for the food!

Fab place, lovely hosts and extended family. Nothing was too much trouble, breakfast and stir fry and hot pot meals we had were all delicious and very cheap. Super fresh and quality too. Free bikes are available but for £2 you can rent a mountain bike for the day with shock absorber forks which are handy on rough tracks. It's an easy cycle to Trang An, Dragon Hill, Hong Mua and Tuyet Tinh Coc Our Lodge was fab, large with a high ceiling, comfy bed, very clean and in picturesque surroundings too. A nice bar Garden Bar by the river just along the road served huge cold Hanoi beers in a lovely spot.

This was honestly the nicest, classiest and most serene place I’ve stayed in while traveling through Vietnam and Thailand. Not only was the room beautifully done, but the grounds are just gorgeous. And they charge an amazing price. Outside of Ninh Binh in this area is where you want to be. They have bikes for free and motorbikes right here for inexpensive. I took a bike ride through the countryside along the river and it was so majestic. They have amazing cocktails, wine and beer and the food is amazing. Also the pool is divine. They are so helpful as far as helping with the best places to go. The owner is so cool and speaks English!! I can’t wait to bring my friends back here and we will be staying here for sure!!!

If you are looking for a good location, tranquil natural setting, well appointed clean rooms, delicious food, affordability and genuine staff then the Green Mountain Homestay is your place! My friend and I were so pleased with this place. The included breakfast was fresh and plentiful. We were so blown away by the dinner the first night that we decided to eat there all three nights of our stay! The owner helped us find fun things to do and see in the area. We were happy with our choices of: Trang An (Boat trip/people watching), Thung Nham (boat trip to see birds), Bich Dong (pagoda in caves), Hang Mua (Mau Cave/Dragon Mountain), Van Long (boat trip in wet land preserve). Yes! we did all of that easily in 3 days using Grab for transportation. The owner also arranged transportation for us back to Hanoi.

This is a special place, in a stunning location, run by a lovely family. The views are staggering. It is a little away from Nim Binh, but Grabs are easy to get and you can rent bikes or scooters. The breakfast is particularly good as it is made fresh to order. The family who run the hotel are so kind- they even packed little snacks for my children when we left. My sons really enjoyed the fußball, pool table, chocolate fridge and dogs. The room was clean and comfortable. We wish we'd stayed for longer.

This was one of the best places I've stayed so far in Vietnam, albeit not perfect. Very clean, beautiful bungalows with comfortable beds and mosquito nets. Even a bathtub for cool, wet days. Beautiful setting. The service, breakfast and drinks were superb. The only downside was the food off the menu. A lot of it is deep-fried, including the "grilled" items. No authentic Vietnamese food. It's all watered down tourist food and not cheap. Except for maybe the Vietnamese family style dinner, but you can't order it for a single person. Unfortunately there are not many good restaurants in the area either, they all serve the same fare. This would make it hard to stay longer than a few days. The internet was quite slow at times. But all in all I had a fantastic stay.
