Travel Tips

Book your room well in advance during peak season (March to May and September to October), when Ninh Bình’s weather is mild and popular tours fill up quickly. Ask the front desk to arrange skip-the-line entry to major attractions for a small service fee. If you plan to explore by bicycle, the homestay provides free maps of quiet backroads that avoid busy tourist thoroughfares. Don’t miss the homemade local breakfast included with your stay, and book a cooking class in advance to learn how to make classic Vietnamese dishes like pho and banh xeo using fresh produce from the homestay’s own garden.
