10/10 Excellent
"Tam Coc Gardens is truly one of Ninh Binh’s most mesmerizing hidden gems—and an experience I will never forget. What I discovered here far exceeded my expectations. After nearly 2-weeks of traveling through Vietnam, this was the perfect place to end my journey. It was more than a retreat; it was a total reset of my whole being. As a solo traveler, I was initially a little nervous about the secluded location. But once I arrived, I understood the magic. Just minutes from town, yet beautifully tucked away, the lush gardens, water, architecture, tranquility, and warmth of the staff created an atmosphere that felt almost spiritual. My room was absolutely magical and even reminded me of my home in Ghana. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the spacious bed and soothing bedding to the tea, snacks, writing paper, meditation space, fan and AC. The evening turndown, love story card & thoughtful notes were beautiful touches. The food was exceptional—especially the breakfast, which was the best I experienced during my 2-weeks in Vietnam. The fish dishes at dinner were beautifully presented & delicious. The complimentary Garden Eco-Tour & rice-ball class were wonderful, & the spa treatments were pure bliss. A special thank-you to Phuong for his kindness, attentiveness, and wonderful service. Tam Coc Gardens isn’t simply a resort, It is a sanctuary—a place to breathe, reconnect, reflect & simply be. I arrived curious and left restored. I will absolutely return in 2027!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Tam Coc Oasis resort and spa, and didn’t want to leave! The staff were amazing, so friendly and we felt so looked after and like family. Special thanks to Lily, Sophia, Vivianne, Huyen for your smiles and hospitality everyday! 100% recommend this hotel. The food was lovely, the room was so relaxing, clean and comfortable and the bath was a special treat. The air-conditioning worked very well and the view from our balcony was spectacular. I particularly liked watching the dragonflies dance above the pool in the mornings! Thank you again, we hope to be back!"

"This is a little slice of paradise. One of those rare places you feel emotional leaving. Staff was so kind, helpful. We are so glad we decided to stay a little outside the city, Grabs always showed up within 5 min even faster at times. Would soooo recommend this place. The animals on the property are precious and extremely good food at the restaurant. Honestly we had to force ourselves to leave it was so peaceful."
