Tam Coc Nam Hoa Hotel & Spa

Out of everywhere we stayed during our two-week trip around Vietnam, Happy Tam Coc Ecolodge was hands down the best. The property is stunning—surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush greenery, it feels peaceful and secluded, yet still super close to everything. Bich Dong Pagoda is just a five-minute walk away, and most tourist spots are only a short scooter ride. What really made the stay special was Lily. She was so kind and helpful the entire time—genuinely one of the nicest hosts I’ve met. You can tell she truly cares about making sure guests have a great experience. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and breakfast was made to order every morning (and really tasty!). We also rented a scooter directly from the ecolodge, which made exploring the area super easy. If you’re heading to Ninh Binh, I can’t recommend this place enough. It was the highlight stay of my whole trip.

Clean, quiet and safe ... plenty of places to eat or have a drink within walking distance.

Great location, friendly staff and very helpful. Would recommend staying here, and really good value for money.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to Tam Coc boat ride. Will stay again.

The property doesn’t have 24-hr reception. I slept on the lobby couch.

Construction at the main entrance made communication with the front desk difficult

Bel hôtel , très bien situé mais la réceptionniste très peu aidante. Elle donnait l’impression de vouloir se débarrasser de nous. On a réservé avec elle un scooter qui est arrivé 30 minutes en retard et le bus (supposément de luxe!)…c’était vraiment n’importe quoi! Nous avons été habitué à beaucoup plus de services dans tous les autres hôtels que nous avons fait depuis 3 semaines au Vietnam.

Nice place for a basic 3 stars hotel even if the price is a little bite high but you pay the location. Room is confortable and spacious. Breakfast is just very basic. However you can enjoy the swimming pool for relaxing. The area around is nice with many restaurants and bars. You can easily visit around.

This hotel is well situated in the town of Tam Coc. Easy access to everything. The staff do their best to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast isn’t the best we’ve had, but gets the job done. We were pleased that they kept our packs all day before the night bus and even offered us a shower that evening. Very kind.

The Nam Hoa in Tam Coc is only 200m from the Tam Coc boat cruise area. I've stayed here twice before and the staff is friendly although only one you man, Dik, speaks English. The breakfast has a wide variety of food from many different types of breads/rolls, eggs, fruit and juices. We had motorbike rides to Hang Mua and Ang Tran and slowly, after doing both areas, we drove through the rice fields to photograph the women working. That was excellent.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location. A little rough around the edges but great value.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived at the hotel before 10am and they gave us a room right away. We booked a triple room and it was very big, with many windows facing the back with a view of beautiful karst mountains. The room had everything we needed except for a safe, but we had no problem keeping our valuables with us. The bathroom door could not be locked but we are a family so just closing it was ok for us. Breakfast buffet was good with different types of bread and fruit, as well as one type of yoghurt and cheese. They also made crepe and fried eggs for us. They had free bikes for their guests and a simple map with direction and distance to various sights. They helped us book tourist bus tickets to Hanoi that picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at Hanoi old quarter for US$5 per ticket. We did not compare ticket prices with other shops as we found $5 reasonable. We had a wonderful time at Tam Coc and Nam Hoa Hotel was one of the highlights of the trip.

Amazing staff with excellent service! Definitely value for money and will recommend anyone to stay in this hotel.

Excellent location and views. Right in central Tam Coc with easy access to boats and many restaurants. The room was super comfortable, the breakfast spread was yummy. The staff was very kind and helpful, even encouraging me to borrow a bicycle (for free) for my trip to Bich Dong Pagoda. Was such a pleasant ride! Thank you so much Nam Hoa for the great service. I love Ninh Binh / Tam Coc and look forward to returning.

- Hotel einfach, aber gut für ein paar Nächte - Serviceteam sehr aufmerksam und freundlich - Englischkenntnisse leider nicht ausreichend (2 von 3 Empfangsmitarbeitern) und erschweren die Kommunikation - Bett bzw. Matratze sehr hart

Hôtel très bien situé avec de belle ballade a faire notamment celle en barque.

Tres bien situé : A deux pas de l'embarcadère principal pour les ballade en barque Service personnel très sympa, parlant français et donnant de bon conseils pour visiter les environs Chambre correct Petit déjeuner moyen

La location d'une voiture avec chauffeur et au prix raisonnable permet de visiter plusieurs sites sans se ruiner en frais de taxis. Le jeune gérant de l'hôtel est très aimable et serviable.

Central location in Tam Coc & easy to get around to places. All the taxi drivers couldn’ miss it. Above average hotel services that have been friendly & supportive.

Nice hotel close to the lake and restaurants. Friendly and pleasant staff. The room we had was a little small but was clean and had nice views. Breakfast was great.
