This is the type of place that really ties together the whole trip! reading other reviews I saw that I can simply arrive and they can help me take care of any and all I need without need to prebook my whole itinerary with what to see. well, the other reviews were spot on! I got there with nothing arranged and wound up with 3 days of fun adventures! they took care of everything and the person they arranged it with was great!! I did a motorbike tour (as passenger) to see almost every site in the area! safe and way less than if I had booked with a travel company. I loved the experience so much I even stayed an extra night which they accommodated. I could go on and on but if you like the idea of a family being genuinely welcoming and there for anything you need, stay here! they know the area and everyone in it it seems (they arranged a massage in my room last minute for half the cost of one in the local shops for example) and really love to host! also good to know… I was able to pay for the tours and hotel and laundry (yes of course they have laundry… hand them a bag and they return clean clothes in a few hours haha!) all on credit card at checkout. so this helps save your cash! also.. location. never having been to the area I had no idea where is best to stay. this is literally perfect. you are a 2 minute walk to the downtown of tam coc for food and drink everywhere, YET ITS QUIET! its set off the main spot just enough that it’s right there but even with music playing in all the bars you hear none of it.

honestly can’t fault anything here.

the room was comfortable and the breakfast was good. The standard was excellent for the price. situated in the centre of Tam Coc with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The hosts were wonderful so friendly and welcoming and always wanting to make sure we were happy and getting the best from our stay. Very helpful with suggestions for excursions and bicycles were available to rent. Our daughter and her partner joined us for three days and they were also delighted with the hotel. Messi, their little dog was also very friendly.

There was nothing to dislike

Centrally located near the Tam Coc boat tour, and great value for money! Best host you could possibly hope for! Check in accompanied by a map of the area and Mama will take you through location by location and the associated costs. Truly a family experience. When you get home at night Papa would greet us with a homemade rice wine, and Mama will see you off each morning as you depart the hostel. Waving at us down the street as we rode off. Everything you need can be organized by Mama making it an easy place to stay while you focus on seeing the sights.

This is a wonderful independent family place with everything you could hope for in a budget Hotel The thing that really made it were the owners, utterly charming couple and we really became friends over Vietnamese tea & Saki - The breakfast is just Fab, good choices but recommend Scrambled eggs & tomato with warm baguette and fruit, Mango smoothie to round it off Stayed for 3 nights and wish I had time to stay longer ! Trang An boat trip an absolute must and they even have good mopeds to hire to get you about….🏍️ Happy, Happy, Happy 🙏🏻

All good :)

We stayed here for just one night and it was such a great experience! The family who run the place are so warm and welcoming and helped us with everything we needed! We were able to rent bikes for the first day we arrived and then they helped us organise a really awesome day tour for the following day with excellent drivers - we hit all the main tourist attractions including Mua Cave and the Trang An boat tour which were big highlights! We needed to book some trains/ flights along our trip of Vietnam and we were given excellent information regarding this and Mama even booked an affordable taxi to the train station for the night we left too! I also needed to print a visa for later in our trip which they very kindly helped me with. We were able to do our laundry here as well which was a great and affordable service! We were very lucky and had very hot days here and the room was lovely to come back to and had great aircon as well! Breakfast was also included which was great as well with plenty of options and plenty to eat! Overall, everything was very clean and tidy, and this is a beautiful spot to stay in Tam Coc! Big thank you to Mama and her lovely family for a beautiful couple of days!!

Friendly family running the place. The motorbike riders for the whole day tour to 4 places (Trang An, Bai Dinh pagoda, Hoa Lu and Mua Caves) booked through this hotel were good and safe drivers. Each 550K petrol included. For return to Hanoi, better to book the "limousine" (which was a passenger minivan) ride (280k per pax) to Hanoi elsewhere, cos the one this hotel booked for us was supposed to take us to Hoan Kiem lake but they dumped us at Tran Nhan Tong St instead so we took a Grab car to the lake from there cos its too far to walk with luggage, for 42K. The lousy excuse given is that the BUS (which was just a passenger minivan) cannot go into the Old Quarter Hoan Kiem lake area as it is too big. Nonsense! We were picked up by a real bus for the trip to Catba (Catba Express - real good!), and another passenger van by D'car to Sapa (by SST travel) also from Hoan Kiem area. Also, know that there are 2 buses that go from Tam Coc to Hanoi (we found out later) at 200K per pax, one in morn and one in the afternoon. This hotel told us there was only one bus in the morning at 6.45am. That is not the way to induce us to take the limousine service instead. So do check around before u book stuff with this hotel. Try checking transport prices with the younger lady at Tuan Tu Restaurant, good prices. (We found out too late!) She speaks English and Chinese and French too.

From our arrival our host “mama” was basically the sweetest person ever. We arrived super late at night by bus and she enthusiastically greeted us and treated us like her own family. Throughout our stay she and her husband were constantly checking on us, offering us tea, coffee, and other goodies and simply never hesitated to go out of their way to be helpful. They helped us rent a motorbike, bicycles, and our onward transportation (they even offered us a free shower before we left that night and personally walked us to our bus). Of course they are running a business and their homestay is their livelihood but these two are simply genuinely kind people who will treat you with kindness and compassion. Staying here means becoming part of their family and their joy and enthusiasm was infectious! Also, the homestay is super clean and the room was spacious and comfortable! No complains there.

The family were incredibly welcoming and helped us organise cycle hire, motorcycle hire and transport back to Hanoi. The breakfast was delicious and the family were very accommodating as to the timings of breakfast and provided us with some snacks, tea and water when we were at the hotel outside of breakfast times. The location is fantastic, slightly removed from the main road so it feels peaceful, but only a 1 minute walk to the nearest restaurant and minimart. We cannot wait to come back!

Nothing!

Mama was so welcoming, one of the loveliest people you’ll meet! We arrived in the morning before check in and she helped us plan our day to get the most out of our time in Ninh Binh. She booked us a motorbike tour and the drivers turned up within 10 minutes of booking! The tour was incredible, as were our drivers, they were very friendly and helpful! Breakfast in the morning was also delicious, some of the best scrambled eggs we’ve had! Would definitely recommend Tam Coc Family Hotel to those visiting Tam Coc and the surrounding area!

We liked everything

Mama was so friendly and welcomed us at 4 in the morning after our overnight bus trip. The breakfast was really great and the entire family made us feel at home. The beds were very comfortable. Mama helped us with activities and we rented the motorbike which made it very easy to get around the area. She helped us with bus tickets which was great! Thank you! We highly recommend staying at Tam Coc Family Hotel;)

Everything was great!
