Amazing peaceful setting which was much needed after a week in Hanoi. Staff were excellent and even though a bit dated you can tell the place was really well designed with framed views of surroundings. Location also great and only a short bike ride to most things. Lots of surrounding cafes and places ...

The receptionist of the Homestay was very friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and had complementary beverages and snacks. Breakfast was included, which was fresh made and delicious. After our visit, we even received some more snacks for our trip back to Hanoi. I can definitely recommend it.

Beautiful area with gorgeous mountains, waterways, and wildlife. But unfortunately, local tourists from Vietnam as well as some foreign tourists litter and damage the ecosystems. Also big problem with burning of trash with plastics causing toxic air.
Go exploring in the smaller roads among the rice paddies. Far fewer tourists, though I didn't find the number of tourists too bad overall. Just go out early and definitely get off the main roads. Very safe and the exact beauty I hoped for in Vietnam.
