Fairy Mountain Retreat

Beautiful setting, close to all attractions in the Ninh Binh area by bike, scooter or car! Pool was welcome after sightseeing and food was great.

Hebergement atypique. Mais la serviette était sale et en plus pas très bien isolé ou entendait tout ce qui se passait dehors et même les voisins.

Heerlijk rustig park, verscholen tussen de heuvels en weg van de drukte. Mooi zwembad, alleen omdat het op natuurlijke manier gezuiverd werd, was het troebel en groenig. En heel warm, maar daar kan het hotel weinig aan doen. Uiterst vriendelijke mensen en lekker eten.

I booked this place on the strength of the rating but I have to admit that I felt really let down. It all started with the poor welcome and reception that we received i.e. left standing outside a closed gate with all our luggage under the hot sun for sometime before the staff eventually arrived and no help offered with our luggage. The safe in the chalet did not work. The waste water from the bathroom basin was emptying directly into the pond (with fish) behind the chalet as the waste pipe had become disconnected. There was a strong sulphuric stench when we started using the water in the bathroom. I suspect that there may be bacterial build up in the water system. The food in the restaurant was disappointing and was really hit and miss on what was served with my orders. I ordered an omelette for breakfast and was served scrambled eggs, ginger tea was served instead of green tea. What was supposed to come with rice noodles came with rice instead. There were 3 power outages during our 2 days stay and no torch provided in the chalet. These last from 30 minutes to nearly 2 hours. No back up generator and communication was really poor. On the plus side, the staff tries their best. They were very helpful and friendly but cannot compensate for the poor amenities. The area around the chalet is lovely but the location is quite remote. It is a drive to get anywhere. Around 15 minutes to Tam Coc.

The property was peaceful and felt out of the way, but access to cars using Grab was always easy and fast, and inexpensive. The hotel was helpful in arranging transportation from Hanoi airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to Hanoi Old Quarter, which was cheaper than four of us taking a bus. The food was good, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Our room was clean, with bottled water added every day. The AC doesn’t run when you aren’t in the room, so it’s hot when you get back after a day out, but the room cooled relatively quickly. The kids wished we could stay longer!

Het team is super vriendelijk, top locatie , tussen de natuur, geiten en eekhoorn zit je vanuit de badkamer,klein keuken maar heel lekker eten. Aan te raden als jij naar Ninh Binh gaan

A truely beautiful place, an eco retreat. The owner has created a little bit of paradise. Our favourite place we stayed. Beautiful self filtering swimming pool. Heavenly. Free bikes to explore the neatby restaurants and tourist activities

I’m traveling from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and originally thought about skipping Ninh Binh — I’m so glad I didn’t. I came across photos of Fairy Mountain Resort and thought, This place looks different from the usual spots I’ve been staying at. And it absolutely was. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I had an early departure, so I settled my bill the night before. As I was getting ready to head back to my room, the owner — who lives on-site — invited me to have a beer with him and his wife. It turned into one of those unforgettable, genuine travel moments. That’s the real magic of traveling: connecting with people, hearing their stories, and sharing a laugh over a cold drink. Next time I’m in Ninh Binh, there’s no question — I’ll be staying here again. Oh — and one more thing: I was out at 4:30 a.m. and having trouble getting a Grab ride back. I texted the resort a picture of my location, and they immediately sent a taxi and made sure I got back safely.

The hotel was lovely, very beautiful grounds, extremely kind people. The only two negatives were there was a mandatory power outage one morning turning off our ac and WiFi and also the shower water pressure was just ok. The beds were comfortable, the food was good. Location is near many of the attractions but outside nihn bihn city center.

Staff are great. Very helpful and they do their best to make your stay as good as possible. Free bikes to hire and local recommendations. Property itself is an amazing area, can be a bit far from places but we always had access to a grab if needed. Would definitely stay again.

Incredible place! The staff are all wonderful, the location is peaceful, and it’s not too far from any of the popular tourist attractions! I will absolutely be staying here again whenever I am traveling in the area again!

Das Hotel liegt sehr schön eingebettet in die Natur und umgeben von den Karstfelsen. Die ganze Familie ist sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Frühstück und die Küche überhaupt sehr lecker. Das Wasser im Pool ist sehr natürlich und angenehm. Die Häuschen sind sehr schön in die Natur eingebunden. Man kann sich Fahrräder und Roller ausleihen und kommt damit sehr gut zur Bootstour. Englische Kommunikation ist super. Transfer wird sehr gut organisiert.Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit im Fairy Mountain und empfehlen es gerne weiter.

Pool was dirty and slimy at the bottom, staff sneezing into hands and washing them in pool, drinking glasses were very dirty in the room, construction happening consistently throughout the day next to the pool, bath was dirty, not in a very convenient location for travelling into the town. Otherwise, the staff were very friendly and catered very well to our very early arrival time - they let us use the spa area from 2am until regular check in time. Many bicycles to use to travel into town, and a very cute dog.

Hotel situated at great location

Excellent location, building works going on and can be noisy. The rooms and bathroom are not clean as expected.

Fantastisk service og god mad

Amazing staff. Beautiful surroundings. Some aspects are a little rustic if that's not your thing but we loved it!

Lovely eco property

What a beautiful and serene place to stay. The cabins are very comfortable and the setting is remarkable as it is ringed with limestone mountains. The food is delicious, the service is excellent. A small piece of parayawaits!

This was an amazing property with friendly and super helpful staff. Chill atmosphere and fantastic food. Truly a magical Fairy location.
