Trang An Mountain View Homestay

Our home away from home! Lu & Bang were so incredibly kind and helpful, they quickly felt like family and made sure we were well accommodated. The interconnecting rooms were large and had a kettle and fridge which made things easier when trying to feed our fussy children. As these are rooms only, there was no ammenities to cook or be self sufficient per se, but we made it work just fine using disposable cutlery and eating out most of the time. The village is beautiful and serene and we were never without support from locals (or Lu) when we needed something. Coming from Hanoi, this place was a welcome break and had such a calming spiritual vibe. We loved getting to know Nam, their son and really

We booked the private family room/suite. We arrived early and were allowed to leave our bags. Upon our return many hours later our room was gone. They did not mention this earlier and had plenty of time to do so, especially given that they sat us down for water to welcome us. The reasons for not providing our room varied, including bad plumbing to no electricity, but based on the conversation I witnessed with an earlier customer, I believe they gave our room away. The other customers had some sort of issue as well. They also booked multiple nights and the hotel likely wanted to accommodate them instead of us with our single night stay. I get that (a bit), but at least provide us the refund. The owners offered us the six person dorm room - without private bathroom. We declined as we did not pay for this and like our privacy, especially when traveling with our kids. Also, the lobby was full of clutter and spider webs, and we had to remove our shoes and wear common sandals to enter. I appreciate not wearing shoes indoors, but prefer my own slippers. Expedia tried contacting the owners, but our request for refund was declined based on the owners feedback. Fortunately we found another place where we enjoyed our stay. I do not recommend booking here if you have to pay in advance as we did.

Perfect location to visit all the tourist attractions in the area; I recommend hiring a bicycle from the homestay and cycling to each one, it is all relatively flat. Lovely owners, amazing views of the mountains from the bedrooms. Property is kept clean.

This is a great family stay right in the middle of town and close to everything. Very helpful and caring people with a son who would be very grateful to learn more English from you.x

This was a gorgeous property with astounding views!! Probably some of the best natural and scenic views from a homestay hotel I've ever had. The owner and his wife were very welcoming, and their two daughters were very lovely and helpful as well. You can order homemade breakfast lunch and dinner from the owners up on the rooftop terrace that is simply delicious and we'll priced! This is a place you want to spend 4 or 5 nights at... There are quite a few activities to do here but relaxing and breathing in the bliss is also wonderful. I could see this being a great place for remote work out for a writer to just get away and be alone but in a gorgeous setting! I will definitely be back!
