Very quiet and beautiful view but very close to main attractions. New property. Great big room. The biggest one that we have stayed in VN. The elevator is a big plus. The owners were most hospitable. Will definitely recommend friends and family

We loved our stay at Limestone. Dzung and Dep were unbelievably friendly and helpful. I left my phone in the Grab, and Dzung was instrumental in getting it back to me within an hour. He and Dep made us a wonderful breakfast and helped us plan our day. Dep did my laundry and had it waiting when we returned from our day of activities. The rooms were AMAZING!! Absolutely huge! And the views from the balconies (we had 2 rooms) were beautiful. I only wish we had stayed longer! Our train ride to Da Nang wasn't until 10pm and because there were no guests using the room that night, he told us to keep it and we could shower and change before our overnight train. Way over and above anything expected. Truly kind people! Book it and stay a few nights. You will be glad you did.

Great stay even in fog

A bit of a downer not to be able to see the promised views, but Dzung and his wife made up for that by the warmth of their welcome and delicious breakfasts. They arranged to have me picked up from the station and driven round during my stay. Highly recommended

Excellent basic accommodation. Mr and

Mr Dzung is fabulous and goes above and beyond to give you everything you might need. We were treated like royalty for our 4 night stay!
His English is good -he gives good advice and can arrange reasonably priced transfers to/from Hanoi. He also arranges scooter hire -though having taken advantage of it, all we can say is that you take your life into your own hands at your peril! Stay local is our advice and avoid having to turn left on main roads.
Bed very comfortable.
Loud Vietnamese music at 5.45am on Sunday morning (!) but Mr Dzung explained it was a funeral for an ex local policeman and Vietnamese have to bury their dead within 24 hours.
Breakfast is when you want it and you have a choice. Can highly recommend the freshly-cooked banana pancakes with local honey and the bun cha quat pork dish. Amazing fresh fruit and fruit juice and he’s justly very proud of his Vietnamese coffee.
Bicycles are in good functioning condition (no gears but unnecessary as flat everywhere).
Excellent location for all local attractions and restaurants/bars in walking distance/cycling distance.
All in all, excellent basic accommodation. Mr and Mrs Dzung and family make it a memorable stay.

The host was epic... Dzung was so friendly and helpful. I honestly rarely leave reviews, but in this case I felt it was worth it.

The experience and time at Dzung property far exceeded our expectations, and his helpful tips made our time on Ninh Binh more than we could have asked for. Highly recommend 👍

Great Service!

Dzung and his family are so friendly and welcoming! He arranged for a private car to bring us from Hanoi and back. He provided us with information about local attractions and restaurants.

We were there during my wife's birthday. We never said anything about it being her birthday. He and his wife brought her a birthday cake, candles and a birthday hat. It made the day very special for her. We were very touched by their gesture.

There are many places to stay in the area, but I am so glad we chose to stay at Limestone View Homestay!

Hospitality to the max

It was an amazing place and good location. I doubt you will find more hospitality and generosity from a hotel than Limestone. They catered to your every need, offer all the needed services of a tourist, and don’t want to charge you for any of it. The price was good to begin with, but then to get all of this friendly services and breakfast for free was over the top. If you come here, you are treated like a member of the family.

From the moment you arrive and Dzung welcomes you, you know you have just become part of the family. We loved our stay at Limstone, even though it was not summer, and too cold for the pool. They went out of their way, to provide every possible guest service, right down to his hand-drawn tourist maps. Easy walking to local restaurants, and amazing views in all directions. He organized a motorbike for us, and we explored everywhere. It's hard to imagine a better host couple. Beware his home brew is not for the faint hearted !

A perfect beautiful homestay hotel run by the most warm, welcoming and helpful couple we've encountered on our trip. The owner's english is excellent and he was so helpful with information on what to do in the area. He lent us free bicycles so we could explore the village and get ourselves to nearby attractions. He arranged a full day driver to take us to the National Park for hiking and exploring. Breakfasts were fantastic. The room's AC and fan were quiet and effective, the views from all windows and balcony simply wonderful. We were even warmly welcomed with breakfast after arriving from the overnight train Sapa to Hanoi. We couldn't have wished for a better way to spend the last 3 days of our trip.

Peaceful Haven with 1 downside

A lovely friendly family homestay in Ninh Binh. Lovely Large room with views over the village and the limestone karst mountains. Dzung & his wife Dep couldn´t do enough for you even coming to find us one night as we could not find out way back in the dark after a day out sightseeing. Breakfast a little limited but did the job. Lovely and peaceful until 4.30/5.00 am in the morning when the village is woken by the loud speakers set in the mountain with the Vietnamese News Broadcast and music that goes on for an hour at least, not the owners fault but should be mentioned. This was the only downside to a very peaceful little haven but be aware if you don´t like early mornings!! Dzung gave us lots of information and arranged motorbike for us for our whole stay which was really worth doing so that we got to enjoy the area as much as we could in our short stay. All in all a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful part of Vietnam. We wish Dzung and his family well with his business. Wifi available in room very good.

This is one of the places you find hard to leave from when you are travelling. Dzung and his family make you feel right at home since the moment you walk in. We stayed at the top floor and the family room (we got upgraded) and the view is simply perfect, literally from the bed you can see the cliffs.

We had dinner a couple of times and it was really tasty, and freshly prepared. They do not have like buffet breakfast but instead they will even ask you the night before what will you want fro breakfast for the next day (and at what time) so we some days we had eggs, some other we had pancakes, or toast...but every day we had fresh juice, bread and fruits.

You can use their free bicycles and it is very easy to get to Trang An (10 mins tops) and other places a bit further out. We decided to take bikes one day to Trang An and rent a motorbike on other days to cover more places and get there faster. You can rent a scooter for 180000 which is not cheap if you compare it to other rentals but he has them right next door (i think Dzung's father is renting them) so it is very convenient.

The room was also clean, very spacious and had a gorgeous view.

Amazing stay in peaceful Trang An

This was such a wonderful place to stay. Dzung and his family are such lovely people - we were provided with hand drawn maps, bikes (free of charge), and lots of useful information on arrival. And we were given as much Vietnamese coffee and homemade wine as we could drink. Dzung speaks very good English, he's incredibly generous and genuine and did everything he could to make us feel welcome and to help us get the most out of his hometown, which he is so fond of.

We were travelling for 5 weeks across four different countries, but our two nights here were a big highlight of our trip. The views from the window are amazing, the area is quiet and friendly and you can see your fair share of buffalo. If you're coming from Hanoi or another busy/touristy part of Vietnam, you should definitely spend some time in this tranquil and beautiful part of the country and I can't imagine anywhere better to stay during your time there than at Limestone View Homestay.

An Enjoyable Stay at Limestone View Homestay

We had a great stay at the Limestome View Homestay. It is reasonably easy to find even for a non-Vietnamese speaker. I believe the Homestay has four rooms available. We stayed in the \"Marble Room\" which has spectacular views of the karst rock formations. The room was very comfortable and had everything that a 4-star hotel would have. The proprietor, his wife, and their children are all very nice. The proprietor takes pride in his Vietnamese coffee and breakfasts--banana crepes and fresh fruit were excellent. We ate at a neighborhood restaurant one night and had dinner served by the proprietor's wife the second night. The food was much better at the hotel at half the price. The proprietor loaned us two bikes to get the Tranh An rock formations located about 2 km from the homestay. It's an easy and enjoyable ride and the Tranh An rock formations and boat trip are fantastic. We were very happy with the whole experience and would be pleased to stay here again. Wifi service was quite good.

Veldig fornøyd med oppholdet, perfekt sted for å utforske Ninh-Binh. Alt er en liten gåtur eller sykkeltur unna med lånesykler (gode restauranter, Mua Cave, An Trang båttur). Vi endte opp med å bli en dag ekstra og tok en dagstur til Cuc Phuong nasjonalpark. Familiedrevet homestay med super verdi for pengene, flotte rom, nydelig frokost og bassenget på taket var luksus etter turer på dagen. Innehaveren Dzung og familien var helt fantastiske, vi kan anbefale på det sterkeste.

Perfect place for my vacation

I stayed with Dzung and his family for 4 night and I loved it. I felt so very welcome, breakfast was amazing, free use of a bike to go exploring by myself. A nice pool to take a plunge in after getting back from a day outside visiting the sights. I cannot recommend the beautiful place and people enough. Also, I really liked the location that was a bit away from the huzzle of Tam Coc area, while it still had good restaurants, and a good spa in the area. Thank you for a great vacation 🙂
