All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, and certain units at the hostel have a patio. At Trang An Freedom Hood the rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

Bai Dinh Temple is 13 km from the hostel, while Phat Diem Cathedral is 35 km away. The nearest airport is Tho Xuan, 87 km from Trang An Freedom Hood, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

Tang An Freedom Hood is a beautiful property with dorms set up for individual comfort, a choice of breakfasts each day as well as a great lunch and dinner menu, free use of bicycles, and a friendly atmosphere provided by Khim, his wife and staff. there is always someone available and ready to help you with whatever need or question you may have. A rooftop patio overlooking a beautiful lake with karsts provided a gorgeous backdrop for my morning yoga, and was a great place to chill in the afternoon. This location is away from the downtown areas of Ninh Binh and/or TamCoc. This was good for me as a solo traveler who is not interested in nightlife beyond swinging in a hammock and watching the moon rise up over the mountains. Serenity was everywhere. Khim helped me plan where to walk and/or bike and his suggestions were spot on. The UNESCO boat tour is an easy walk, or bike there in 5 minutes. Many other beautiful pagodas, ancient cities, and caves are nearby too. They also have scooters to rent which many of the guests were enjoying during my stay. They also have friendly kitties, 2 dogs and a sweet little one year old girl toddling around who provided her own entertainment. I had a fresh towel and bottle of water each day. Clean shared showers and toilets with plenty of hot water. Lots of great sitting areas around the property offered secluded spaces as well as communal tables to chat with other guests.

We had a wonderful homestay experience. The room was clean. The family was very friendly, chatty and helpful. The meals they cooked for us for dinner were extremely delicious and affordable. We even got gifted with snacks and extra water for our little trips around the area and when we left. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Thank you for having us!

(There is another room on the other side of the bathroom, but was also empty at that time) Beds have curtains and socket and lockers. Staff could organize transportation, bus or train. Rent motorbikes or bicycles(good enough to visit all sights around).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Without any doubt it is THE BEST hostel I've stayed in South East Asia, and I stayed in a lot of them through 6 months traveling. The bed! King size super comfy mattress, it feels like you have your own room. Everything is big here, swimming pool, lobby, room, beds, bathroom, varied breakfast. Cheap motor and bicycle rental. Lovely owner and manager. Super clean, short walk to the main road, great value. Exceptional. I want to stay here forever, 6 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Such a lovely family running a very clean, comfortable homestay in a really great location in a quiet village near trang an (but still with restaurants). All the family went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful and didn't get annoyed when we checked in at 5am, kept our bags safe while we borrowed a scooter to go to cuc phuong overnight and even gave us water and bananas for the journey. Also the food was the cheapest around and very tasty and fresh!

    Very nice hosts. Rooms were relatively small but there was a curtain around the bed and a safe. Otherwise the hostel was rather basic, but had everything necessary (don’t expect a luxury hostel with bunk beds though). The host drove me to the Bai Dinh Pagoda and back and organised taxis whenever I needed them. The hostel is outside of the main city, so a perfect place for people who enjoy the calm, not recommended for people who want the bustling sounds of a city around them.

    - location is spot on, just off the main road, but I'm very central tam coc - staff very accommodating and helpful. Offer bus and tour bookings as well as scooter & bike hire. - cheap food and drinks on site - room was a good size and clean. Air con and wifi both worked well - pool is frequently cleaned and a nice add to the hotel - such a cheap price for what it offers, would probably pay more to stay there - Safe luggage storage area Would recommend to other budget travellers

    Honestly the best hostel I've ever been to! Especially for such a cheap price. The dorms were really conveniently built, comfy beds, great hot showers, clean facilities, beautiful pool and common areas. The kitchen is absolutely fantastic and had some of the best meals there. The massage therapist is also really really good. The staff were super helpful and friendly and it was also great to meet other travellers

    Great Location in Tam Coc. About 50m away from the biggest backpackers hostel - close enough to join in at the bar, far enough away to avoid the noise.

    Such a nice place where to stay. Big pool, lots of backpackers around to meet new friends and chill around. Hostel can provide bikes, scooters and help you with tours and information about lots of things. Personall was so kind and helpfull. Locality in middle of tam Coc is perfect and there is also bar and kitchen. Kitchen was very interesting, they cooking also western food pizzas and pasta in very good quality but you need to pay for it. Renting bike was cheap. Chilling aoround in evening is always good.
