  I had a truly wonderful stay at The Goat Boutique Resort. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel completely welcome. Every member of the team was incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely eager to help with anything I needed. They went out of their way to offer local recommendations, arrange transportation, and ensure my stay was comfortable and stress-free. One of our party has an accident on a scooter getting hurt quite badly and the staff went out of their way to assist us with a visit to the hospital and with advice what to do. The atmosphere at the resort is peaceful and beautifully maintained, but what really sets it apart is the exceptional service. The staff always greeted me with a smile and remembered small details that made the experience feel personal. Their kindness and professionalism created such a relaxed and enjoyable environment. If you’re visiting Ninh Binh and want a place where you feel truly cared for, I can’t recommend The Goat Boutique Resort highly enough. The hospitality alone makes it worth the stay.

  Amazing stay in beautiful surroundings We had a great stay here. The food was good, the staff were amazing and so helpful. We arrived late, and even though the kitchen was closed, they prepared food for us, because we were really hungry. The place is beautiful and so relaxing. I also got the hair spa treatment, which was great! As many people report the road to the hotel is bumpy, but honestly what would you expect at a hotel located so far out, and we really didn't think it was so bad as the reviews make it out to be. There is also some reviews also food poisoning, but we did not get anything here, the food was great! They even told me that the ice they use is industrial. After we had left the hotel, they contacted us to let us know that we forgot our luggage. Without any complications they immediately arranged the delivery of it to our next hotel in Hanoi, and at such a good price too! Amazing service. Would have loved to stay some more days. Would come again! Very minor: Cleaning could have been a bit better, the cabin was dusty, but we didn't mind that much. Cabins have very little isolation, so you can hear everything outside, and even from the next cabins. Earplugs came in handy.

  Amazing! A beautiful resort and location. We felt fully relaxed after being in busy cities, it was the perfect chance for us to unwind and not worry about anything. The place is clean, unique and is filled with stunning flowers, plants and wildlife. Not to mention the cute doggies that belong to the resort. It is a very well kept place. Every single person working there is extremely friendly and helpful. They can organise group/private tours and transfers so you don’t have to worry about a thing. We booked onto a group tour and it was so much fun! The tour guide was very entertaining and we got to tick everything off our list. It was well worth the money! They even supply masseuses on site and can book appointments whenever you require. They were 10/10 the best I’ve had since being in Vietnam. I had a full body massage and even went back for a hair wash/head massage. AMAZING! The food at the resort was so yummy and the breakfast was a great spread! The town isn’t too far away and can be reached easily by grab. Would 100% recommend and return!

  This adorable resort has it all for something looking for a relaxing retreat in a stunning and serene setting. The team at this resort are all so welcoming and helpful. And they offer anything you might need - restaurant, bikes to use, motorbikes to rent, they can arrange tours and transportation, spa treatments and laundry service. All of the bungalows are super cute and have everything that you need. This is not a 5 star luxury resort so things might appear to be a little rustic but for the price that you pay and all that they have to offer, it is incredible value for the money. I would like to add a tip about the location - it is definitely more remote that I had been able to imagine. The Ninh Binh area has so much to offer but all of them will need to be reached by a Grab or taxi. But they are all super reasonably priced so not a big deal at all. We did ride bikes to the Trang An Landscape Complex and that was doable but some of the roads were rather busy and I got a little nervous a few times. If you want to be close to everything and walk to restaurants and shops, this is not the resort for you. Find something in Tam Coc. We personally looked at our time in this area as a balance of retreat and exploration. And we were able to make that work from The Goat Boutique. Highly recommend and we would come back here for sure.

  This is a beautiful little resort. The setting is absolutely stunning and the grounds are immaculately maintained. The pool was lovely. The staff are extremely friendly and kind. We ate at the hotel both nights and really enjoyed the food. Their cocktails were great too!

  Stayed her recently for 3 nights. What an amazing little gem. We truely loved it here out of all our accommodation in Vietnam. About 5 min from centre of town in the rice fields ,surrounded by mountains and peace and quiet. I only wish we stayed her last so we could of totally wound down here before we travelled back home. Very comprehensive buffet breakfast. Staff were lovely. Grounds were kept lovely at all times ,pool was clean. Exactly as per Instagram pic.Used one of the free push bikes each day and road around the local roads and rice paddys

  Staff were amazing and the room were lovely. Definitely stay again. My only complaints are 1. The walls are thin so you can hear your neighbours snore. 2. There were two French girls and 3 Germans that decided to party at the pool until 1 in the morning. Were really loud and kept us up. When I finally called the staff, they immediately got on them and it was quiet. My fault I didn’t call sooner. I don’t blame the staff or hotel in anyway. What they could do is when the pool closes, patrol the area for an hour to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

  We loved the goat boutique! It was remote but easy enough to get grab taxis, the location made it lovely and peaceful. The pool was lovely and the views were fabulous. ||The staff were very nice and very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. They helped us to book a day trip and we stored our luggage beyond our check out time. ||Food and drink was great value for money, as was the whole hotel! ||The only downside would be that the lighting was not great in the rooms and there was not enough hot water for showering (would only be hot for the first person for the first 2 mins). Otherwise we loved this place!
