"Stayed for 1 night. Excellent advance communication to me about check in. Lovely room. Comfortable bed. Very peaceful setting. WiFi not very good. Lovely breakfast and nice hosts. Would stay again, but it is isolated. "

"This family owned hotel is very welcoming and warm! The breakfast was very good and with a good variety of fresh fruits. The bed was comfortable. Take note that some rooms are ground-level and you will only know which room you will have upon arrival. We chose the mountain view but we got our room on the ground level, so from the balcony you can't really see it due to the vegetation. "

"Beautiful spot but the room had mold everywhere (curtains, walls, ceiling) and there was black mold in the shower. Breakfast was ok but nothing was labeled and as a vegetarian I wasn’t sure what had meat or not. We ended up checking out early "

"Beautiful hotel in serene setting, great service, breakfast was outstanding."

"This property was clean and well run. The morning breakfast buffet was delicious and had a lot of variety of different foods. The staff were very friendly. The location was very convenient as it's right down the road from the Bai Dinh Pagoda. I'd happily stay with them again on my next trip to Ninh Binh."

"Comfortable and clean spot. Location is pretty central and convenient. Can walk most places. Staff are very friendly and helpful. "

"Great staff and great property"

"Whoever issues this sort of review request should check carefully before sending it. We were not able to stay at the Retreat because our flights to Vietnam were cancelled because of the war in Iran. We knew that the Retreat booking was not cancellable, but they would not offer us credit towards a future stay if we manage to re-arrange this once in a lifetime holiday. All we can say is that the Retreat was the most expensive of the places we were due to stay on our travels and therefore would hope that it lived up to the cost. We wish them well but are not likely to go there when we finally get to Vietnam. "
