Staff was very nice and easy to talk to. They made airport pick up and drop off smooth. The room was not terrible but some weird smells and beds not super comfy. Great location to walk to nearby coffee shops and the lake view is very pretty.

Verified traveler

From the US, it’s expensive to get there, but once there you don’t need a lot to vacation. For US dollars, everything is inexpensive. $50 goes a long way. Rich history there. Some folk are mean like the young men just up to no good. Everyone else ok.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Good fun with an amazingly vibrant feel. You can’t ignore the fact that Vietnam is an emerging market and have to accept it’s a bit crazy on the roads but the people are lovely.

4/5 - Good

The tour we took to Nin Bin was the best part and far away one of the coolest things we did in Vietnam.
