Travel Tips

Note that the homestay does not offer on-site parking, so if you’re renting a car, ask the front desk to arrange nearby parking for a small fee. If you plan to explore by bicycle (the most popular way to see Ninh Binh), use the homestay’s complimentary bikes to save on rental costs. Book any boat tours or transport through the homestay’s tour desk—staff offer fair prices and can help you skip peak-time crowds at popular attractions. Finally, don’t miss an evening barbecue on the homestay’s outdoor dining terrace: the on-site grill facilities let you cook fresh local caught fish and produce while watching the sun set over distant karsts.
