We loved our stay at fairy mountain, very friendly and helpful staff, amazing location with mountain views all around, clean and comfy rooms and a nice pool where we enjoyed watching the mountain goats navigate the cliffs. Highly recommend!
Beautiful and peacefull retreat, the staff was on pointe, the food was excellente the view of the mountain was incredible, the room we add was one of a kind i give it a 10/10 would definitly go back
I had a really wonderful 2 day stay, beautiful area, staff are lovely with good English and ready to help wherever they can. Only downside is the food, breakfast was ok, evening meals were sub par, if stay visit one of the many local restaurants
Loved staying in the huts, the whole place is very pretty with the ponds, mountains and fairy lights. Breakfast was good with multiple options, staff were lovely and helpful, cheap bike rental. Location is a bit further out so did have to use grab & scooter to get around. Offered day tours which we didn’t do

Beautiful area with nice pool and clean room. The individual cabins are quite spacious. Staff is attentive and provide a restaurant on site. A little bit out of the city area but easily accessible by grab.

What a hidden gem! The location is so beautiful. Our “cabin” was a truly unique stay. The views outside our room were stunning. The food was very good. The staff were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to help us. So glad we found this place!

We stayed in the “presidential suite” or the cave suite which was somewhat cool. A few foul smells as you enter and exit the room possibly from sewage. The pool looks beautiful from afar but is rather dirty on the bottom with brown slippery algae. The grounds are quite pretty especially at night and staff were very friendly. The breakfast was just okay….stick to the omelette

I stayed in the mountain view cabin which was lovely. The only negative is the seating areas are bean bags which is not easy to get in or out off when you are older! When we checked in i was so grateful to Lucas who gave us so much information on the area and was great throughout our stay. The pool looked lovely although i didn't use it as i was out most days. The breakfast was good with plenty of variety and dinner was delicious. The peacefulness of the Fairy Mountain Retreat is awesome and so appreciated after being in the cities. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are going to Ninh Binh.
