Amazing super beautiful location to stay. They have bikes and motorbikes to rent. I would suggest to rent a motorbike to go around. Grab would be a bit difficult to get. The laundry service was great and got it done in one day. Try their omelette for breakfast, it is out of the world!! The staff were nice too.

There were not many breakfast options. If you like coffee with milk, you won't get it as they have only condensed milk. It is not a big deal but just mentioning here to keep in mind to buy your own. The location is in the countryside so there are many roosters around which are very loud the whole night, so make sure to carry some earplugs. It would be the same problem in any hotel in Trang An.

The staff should be teaching every hotel what customer service means. They sent regular WhatsApp updates on the weather/flooding situation as we traveled from Hanoi after the typhoon. They brought meals to our room when the flooding at the hotel was too deep. They cooked for us even though they had to turn the power off to most of the hotel because of the flooding. The location is beautiful! Since you are staying away from most things they do have scooters and bicycles to rent. It is a family run hotel and they are all just the kindest, friendliest, most helpful people that go above and beyond for their guests.

Lovely location set just outside the village. Large rooms and nice swimming pool. Fantastic surrounding scenery and gardens with hammocks. Good food at restaurant with plenty of choice. Staff were happy to let us stay on site long after we checked out.

Website pictures showed TVs in rooms but there don't appear to be any. To be fair, TVs are not listed under room facilities. Black mould around shower could do with a clean.

Really lovely place to stay in Trang An, away from the main road but connected down a dirt track to other homestays and restaurants in a beautifal and lush mountainous valley. It's a quick bike ride to the Trang An riverboats, and just a bit more to the historic Hoa Lu capital site, and there is amazing accessible countryside all around this area. The retreat is just like the pictures, simple clean rooms, a lovely garden ambience, and a good swimming pool. But also the people running it are really kind and genuine and it's fairly easy to socialise with other guests around the pool area if that's what you want to do. Really, it's all very chilled.

It looks like there's development of nearby land, it'd be a shame to see the tranquillity of this place spoiled by over development. And to be honest, the coffee at breakfast is nothing to write home about .....

Having previously stayed at The Tran Am retreat before,my wife and I were aware of how good it is. The location is excellent. A very convenient place to start you walks or cycle around the beautiful landscape that surround the retreat. The rooms are very clean and house keeping of a high standard. The bed comfortable and pillows soft. It is a very peaceful place to stay and as a light sleeper I appreciate that. Staff are friendly and attentive and always ready to assist. If you need to make any travel arrangements,talk to Sam. He will take care of everything at reasonable cost. I cannot praise this establishment enough.We had a fantastic stay. I thank all the staff there for making our visit a very pleasant one.

Nothing at all

Tucked in a perfect location in Trang An. It sits right on the river with a quiet road running in the front of it. They rent mopeds and bicycles, which make exploring Ninh Binh quite convenient. The staff was very kind, welcoming, and helpful. They have a nice booklet with suggestions for the area as well. A lot of cute restaurants within 20 minutes of walking as well. The pool is extremely clean and meticulously kept. The beds are comfortable.

The bathroom was a bit dirty. The mirror was full of smudges and the stainless steel finishes (handles, faucets, etc.) were not clean. The white towels and sheets were a bit stained and could have been removed with some bleach maybe.

We loved the location, the family running the place are very kind. Our room was clean, the breakfast was very nice, my husband loved the pancakes I loved the omelete made fresh. The pool was a little cool. We had the staff order a taxi for a early morning pick up for Hanoi airport, everything went smoothly. We rented a moped from the facility, it was all very easy. The staff made all the local recommendations of things to do. We had a wonderful stay here. Thank you to all the staff . Jen and John:)

This was a family run property. Sam contacted us once we had made a booking with lots of valuable information about transport, trips and meals. He arranged our transport from Ninh Binh and to Phong Nha and a trip to to including going on the boats at Trang An into the caves. We used the bikes to go to Hoa Lu. Lots of choice for the free breakfast. Rooms were large and so was the bathroom. Lots of family run restaurants nearby, we particularly liked the river view restaurant.

Tranquil. Clean. Great service. The above summarises our stat at Trang An Retreat. If you stay in Tam Coc, you will face constant honking. If you stay anywhere else in Trang An, you will not get the service of Trang An Retreat. Our guy was seriously always checking in on us, giving great suggestions, helping us book things. We got stuck in Van Long Wetlands and couldn’t get a ride back. We contacted Trang An Retreat and a driver arrived in 20 minutes, and was 20% cheaper than the Grab rates. That all said, this isn’t a western resort with the softest Sateen sheets and goose feather filled pillows. The bathroom is nice but not resort level. You can’t fill up a bathtub with hot water before the water goes cold. All that should be expected for the price and location. What you do get is an extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent hotel in Trang An. We went there from a motor bike from "Tam Coc ".Very helpful receptionist and the owner of the hotel. Hotel location is very good .It was easy to arrive there because of our bike ,if not you have to go about 01 km in a under construction road. that's no harm ,after go there every thing will go off with the hotel environment. Breakfast was very good ,Set menu, but more choices. Hotel owner offering some other free items for the breakfast. Thank you for all support which you given us .Recommended this hotel for all Trang An travelers.
