I had a truly memorable stay at Cọ Retreat. The location is remote but incredibly peaceful – surrounded by mountains, forests, and overlooking the Da River. It's the perfect place to unplug and slow down. The bungalows are cozy, clean, and thoughtfully built with natural materials. I especially loved waking up to the sound of birds and watching the mist roll over the lake in the morning – absolutely magical! Staff were kind and helpful, always making sure we felt comfortable. Meals were simple but delicious, with fresh local ingredients and traditional flavors. If you're looking for a place to relax, read a book, enjoy nature, or just breathe deeply – this is it. A hidden gem worth discovering.

It's definitely a perfect 10/10. Seldom do I submit a review before I leave, but this is an exception as it's an exceptional homestay/hotel with extremely excellent hosts. It feels as if you're good friends (even a relative) rather than a paying guest (not to mention the price is a bargain)...the genuine service is that good and outstanding. It honestly feels like you are staying with family who have decked out their house to not only make your stay comfortable and enjoyable but have catered to avoid their "friends" from getting bored. Now, over my decades of travelling I have stayed in some lavish and very luxurious places (+500 USD per night and beyond), and although the places and services are impeccable, it still feels like you're only a paying guest and the kindness shown is part of their job and associated with the cost. This accommodation property truly does not, and their service, attention, and friendliness are genuine and from the heart. Within sensible reason, they have fitted out and included all the things a guest could want. For example; Covered, tiled large pool (with lights and a fountain) with male/female showering & toilet facilities....even an automatic flushing urinal for the men!! Balconies with cafe style seating. Pool table & ping pong table. A basketball court. An outside, covered, Karaoke lounge area. An enclosed and air-conditioned lounge room with large flatscreen TV & Hi-Fi system....away from the accommodation (for quietness). A sky deck with undercover sitting areas. A water fountain feature. A small playground area for little children. A Foosball table. All this and garden areas, sitting areas and mood lighting too. They have many different types of room to accommodate singles, couples, and families.

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel! We enjoyed the room, and the common areas were excellent. The laundry room was very convenient! There were two stores very close to the hotel.

Gia Trang Heian Hoa Binh is truly an ideal resort, peaceful and relaxing in the middle of nature. My room has a very nice balcony, it looks straight to the river or a lake, I'm not sure but the receptionist here said it was Hoa Binh Lake or Da River. My room is very new, clean, fully equipped with the amenities I need. I tried the grilled fish here, all were delicious and fresh. The receptionist is very enthusiastic, thoughtful, always ready for me during my stay here. This is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty with quality service. I will definitely come back next time!

Clean room with comfortable beds. The hotel is in a quiet street with not a lot of traffic. Quiet in the night and not to loud in the day. Friendly owners and staff. The bathroom is small, but the water pressure is good. Next door is a restaurant and a coffee. Round the corner many more.

We visited Halo Retreat while touring Vietnam on our motorcycles. We had a fantastic stay and are very grateful to our host who guided us to a mechanic to fix an issue with one of our bikes. Our room was clean and modern, the bed was very comfortable, the evening meal we had was delicious and I have high praise for our friendly and helpful hosts. I also enjoyed the location, which was peaceful and close to nature. Many thanks for a rememberable stay.
