To our impression, the owners here were really friendly and helpful. They always smiled and tried to support us as much as possible. In addition, the room was comfortable and the surroundings were tranquil. We also enjoyed the dinner here that was amazing.  We’ll definitely come back if we have chance

Delightful

My boyfriend and I had a great time at Garden Homestay. The staff made us feel welcome right when we arrived even though it was pretty late at night. The room was comfy with good AC and mattress, plus it was the largest room that we experienced in a place with that decent price. They provide breakfast at any time in the morning as long as you tell them when you'd like to have it in advance. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet, so much better than staying in the city center. Though the room with garden view was close due to renovation, we still loved to see the garden and the pond so they were happy to show us around, plus we had so much fun going fishing there with the owner. 
Also it's very close to many attractions in the area. We just needed to walked to Bai Dinh pagoda, which is about 2 km away, then the next day we rented a motorcycle driving to Trang An and Hoa Lu. Would love to go to Cuc Phuong as well but unfortunately we couldn't afford the time. Will definitely come back.

Fabulous

it's one of those times that tripadvisor comments surprised me about a place... i'm all for small vilages and nature (and we booked this place precisely for these reasouns) but i naturally expect either a comfy stay or a reasonable price. sadly, garden homestay provided neither.

contrary to the name, the place has no garden. it's an ordinary concrete building. the rooms are very basic with shared bathroom and no glass windows. so if it's a breezy or a rainy day, you'll have to shut the wooden curtains and stay in the dark. 

the common area also consists of some tables and plastic chairs on the ground floor. the complimentary breakfast was just one plain bread with omelette and one cup of tea. 

as i said there's nothing wrong with basic accomodation, but the price tags are 360k for the room, 150k for an old chinese bike held together with duct tapes and 100k for a dinner that we had for much less on tourist hotspots around vietnam... how other people justified these prices as "reasonable" is beyond my understanding, but it simply wasn't for us. 

on the positive side, rooms were clean and owners friendly. they were kind enough to comply when we wanted to cancel our booking for the remaining days. 


not our type

This is a good place which near Bai Dinh pagoda. It takes about 5mins to drive from the hotel to the pagoda and about 20mins to Trang An.

We had a very clear instruction from Trang to take the right bus. And the hotel location is kind of very easy to find. We had warm welcome from Trang's mom and dad and we were happy about that. 

The room was kind of cozy and comfortable. We love that!

However, I had a very big confusion about motor renting price of the hotel. Usually we have 24 hours for motor renting which counts a day renting fee. But when I was there, the fee was not charged based on hour but day. We rented a motor from 12am and returned it at 12am in the next day. Then it was charged for 2 days fee. This is not the same when I was in other places in Vietnam.


A good homestay

We didn't meet Trang, as she was in Hanoi for some days. But we were very kindly welcomed by her mum, a very sweet and caring lady. 
The homestay is in Bai Dinh village, approximately 20 min by minibus from Ninh Binh (ask Trang how to catch bus #8, which is fast, cheap and convenient). The homestay is quiet, clean and spacious. 
We rented a scooter with Trang's mum and we drove around the beautiful area. 
On the last day, after check out, we also went around. When we got back, we were all sweaty and sticky, but Trang's mum was so kind to let us shower before letting us travel back to Ninh Binh to catch the sleeper train to Hue. Also, she was ready with some ice cold jasmine tea. 
If you don't want to stay in busy Ninh Binh, then consider this homestay. It requires some travel, but it's worth it. 
Btw, we didn't have dinner with Trang's mum and dad, but I read a lot of good stories about it. Next time, I'd consider that! We went out for ourselves and paid almost the same amount for ok food. Reading the reviews from others, we made the wrong decision. :-)
