The Wooden Gate

Nice big space, ideal for a family or a group. Relatively simple but all you need. Nice food and lots of free bikes to explore the area. Tours are reasonably priced. Food was a simple but effective mix of popular European and American food and Vietnamese classics and whipped up quickly. Free use of washing machine and dryer. Free WiFi is adequate for most things but slightly patchy

This homestay is a magical place and we loved our stay. The grounds are gorgeous, room was large and comfortable, and it was in a great location. But what truly made this place special was the staff. They were so friendly and made our stay feel so special. We loved that it was a little outside of the main tourist area, but centrally located to many of the activities we wanted to do like the Mua Caves, Ancient Capital, and Trang An boat tour. However we were comfortable renting a motorbike (available on premise) so it was super easy to get around. We loved drinking coffee and fresh juice while our host made us breakfast each morning. It was delicious and on one occasion we had them arrange having dinner delivered from a local restaurant and it was fantastic. The staff even messaged me after we checked out to let me know I’d accidentally left behind my laptop charger and they went above and beyond to have it delivered on one of the taxi busses going to Hanoi. We can’t recommend this place enough! Would go back in a heartbeat!
