Loved Ly’s Homestay. A friendly/family welcome on arrival with a nice cold homemade mango juice and a platter of cold fruit. Location is perfect. Accommodation perfect. All the family very helpful and wanting your stay to be memorable. They offer bike rental, tour bookings, money exchange and whatever you need they will help. It is lovely and quiet and did I mention a great location. So many eatery options, karaoke clubs and bars with nightlife available within walking distance. The awesome clean pool was a perfect refreshing bonus and breakfast to order was superb. We only stayed for 3 nights but wished it was more. There is so much to see and do in Tam Coc / Ninh Binh, that a longer stay would have been great. It was a very memorable goodbye, where the whole family came to see us off. Kisses, handshakes and hugs galore. Even offered bottled water and fruit to see us on our way. We felt blessed!

Lovely little homestay with inviting pool ran by a lovely family. At breakfast you were given a fruit plate while they freshly cooked your order from the menu.They did my laundry, really good price, booked trips and return trip to Hanoi and provided water and snacks for journey. There are lots of bikes and mopeds to hire if needed. I would definitely recommend this Homestay if you're in Tam Coc.

From the moment we stepped onto the property we were met with warmth and a very friendly attitude. Our rooms were immaculate and very well appointed. The bed was very comfortable and cosy. Our two rooms had everything we needed and included a table and chairs outside our room to enjoy the coolness of the evenings. The daily breakfast was excellent, offering fresh French bread and fruit with every menu option, as well as fruit juices, tea and very good coffee. The pool was a treat especially after exploring all day in the heat. We rented bikes from the site and happily went from place to place, comfortable and confidently.
The family who own/ run the property are absolutely amazing and so kind. They helped us arrange our train transportation to the next stop on our tour of Vietnam and had a wonderful breakfast ready for us when we left early in the morning. We can't say enough about how absolutely amazing this family and their hotel are; definitely a highlight of our trip. We felt as if we were staying with friends or family and can't say enough about our stay at the Lys Homestay. Excellent, friendly, warm and inviting, comfortable and very well located. You need to stay here if you are looking for comfort, cleanliness and care. You won't be disappointed.

This was an incredibly welcoming place to stay. They organized a jeep tour for us which was fabulous and included a boat trip in Trang An. The pool was a God send given the 36 degree heat.
We had an early departure for Ha Long Bay, and they provided us a packed breakfast for the trip. Such a caring and friendly place to stay.

We can’t say enough about the friendly, genuine and reliable service we received at Lys Homestay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, they went over and above our expectations. Unfortunately I fell ill whilst on holiday, however Lys arranged a doctor immediately which put us both at ease. Lys arranged our transport for our medical visit plus all our day trips and for the next trek of our holiday destination. Lys,s local knowledge of the area was super helpful and she was a pleasure to deal with. This service excellence was also felt by all other family members during our stay. Perfectly situated with a short walk to restaurants and shopping.We highly recommend Lys Homestay. We know we will definitely return here on our next stay. Thanks Lys and all the family for making our stay such a memorable one.

The staff is so helpful and arranged everything I needed. I was travelling solo and they organized a motorbike guide to take me to all the sites which was a perfect way to get around. They also offer bicycle rentals, and Hang Mus is a really nice afternoon bike ride away from the home stay.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was great!

Highly recommend staying here and am very grateful for all of the amazing help they provided.

We loved our stay at Lys Homestay, the hosts are very accommodating and considerate and the rooms are very nice. The location is tucked away so it's quieter with less traffic which we appreciated and slept soundly, although the neighboring rooster might wake you up early. Even so, it's in a prime location to walk to plenty of good restaurants and only a 10-20 minute bike ride to activities

At Ly's we rented a motorbike to drive to the Trang An boat tour and Bird garden. This was our first time riding a motorbike and they even took time and taught us how to drive it which was beyond what I expected.

We also took advantage of doing our laundry here and it was ready within the day, neatly folded and warm! They charge the laundry by weight.

When we checked out but still had to stick around town before our late night train to Hue, they stored our luggage for us so we could go out, and they even called the taxi for us to the train station and sent us on our way with two bananas and water bottles and a hug! The best and most wholesome place I've stayed at so far, I would recommend staying here!

We loved our stay here. The service was absolutely excellent. Our host was so helpful and gave us good ideas about where to go. We rented a motor bike from her and it was great. We did bikes the next day and it was also terrific. Our breakfast was delicious. She only charged two dollars a kilogram for laundry and that was great also.

Lovely Place with lovely Owner

Had a lovely stay here; we were a group of 4 so booked 2 out of 3 rooms available. The couple got the downstairs bedroom and myself and friend got the smaller room upstairs initially. After the first night we were asked if we wanted to move to the larger room with separate beds for the subsequent nights.
All beds soft with clean linens and good pillows. Bathrooms are well equipped too, with a wet room set up in the double room, and a screened shower in the family room.
Breakfast was delicious and good options to chose from, also nice to be asked what time we wanted breakfast.
Ly's Homestay is to the right of the lake on the road to the Temple. Very easy walking distance of main strip.
Very helpful in arranging moped hire for my friends and organising a driver for a trip to the bird valley. Gave good advice about attractions etc. We were also able to do laundry for 50,000VND/kg.
Speaks fluent French and Vietnamese and used Google Translate to talk with my friends in English which was lovely. (My french was a bit rusty but we made good)

Le petit déjeuner est bon et vous avez le choix pour commander le plat accompagné de fruits frais.

Déjà, les chambres sont très propres et confortables. La literie est très bonne.
Ensuite, le petit déjeuner était très bon, avec des fruits frais de qualité et un plat à la carte à choisir entre spécialités Vietnamiennes et pancake.
Nous avons adoré la piscine, également très propre.
Enfin, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la propriétaire très attentionnée, qui parle français, avec ses précieux conseils et qui est au petit soin.
Il est aussi extrêmement bien placé, proche du centre. Mais si vous voulez aller plus loin vous pouvez loué scooters et vélo électrique.
