What an exceptional setting. The beauty of the surroundings certainly made our stay. Loved the outdoor bathroom set into the cliff face. Staff efficient, friendly and met all our needs. Breakfast was enormous and so much variety. Recommend staying here.

Surprisingly, we were the only couple at their hotel during peak lotus bloom season. The restaurants, bars and shops were empty at night. They planned to be lively at night, but no one was there during our stays. The price of this hotel is quite high when comparing to the price of other hotels in the area.

The property used false photographs to portray itself. In reality, there was nothing "eco" in the lodge: it was in the middle of a very busy tourist spot, and literally, hundreds of people were traipsing thru the property throughout the day. The property's multiple restaurants played very loud music or screamed karaoke so you got headacke just being in the room, with doors and windows closed. Parking was another nightmare since there were dozens of busses and other cars trying to fit into a tiny parking lot. The area, while potentially beautiful, was poorly maintained. The rooms were half the size as they appeared in the photo - one person could barely walk without hitting the furniture. Despite large windows, we had to keep curtains closed because the lodges were set very close to busy pathways full of loud tourists

Review The hotel's selling point is obviously the access to the caves and dragon mountain any time you want. It's not so pleasant however if you go during a big Vietnamese holiday. Local tourists and students trash the area and even attempted to come into our room. If it's low season, it should be tranquil. Having said that, the rooms aren't the cleanest even if housekeeping tried. It's a matter of updating. We were advised to slam the door shut for locking as the only way. The restaurant on site served dishes that tasted like a balloon. The dishes they advertised such as the set wasn't available, and neither was the simple pho bo. They were the more affordable ones as well, so go figure. It also gave us food poisoning which the manager never commented on. So we paid to get sick was his principle. No apologies. They sent breakfast on the go as a gesture but we gave those to the driver instead as they weren't food easily consumed in a car, and it's still food from their restaurant! About airport transfer - they only gave us the most expensive option and the prices changed when my husband and I called in turns to confirm. Later, we found a much cheaper option they had. 2 car changes turned out to be 3. The receptionist failed to pick up for a whole day too. From hindsight, this place is about the scenary, not the service. It doesn't look like management invested in the property anymore, not even on amenities. It's best to stay elsewhere with ethics, and buy the ticket

While the location is prime and beautiful the hotel is severely lacking. The staff was meh at best, but polite so no issues there. Like others have noted there is a lot of construction, but nothing finished so it appears to be a hot mess. We skipped eating at the hotel from reading reviews prior to our arrival and ate at the first restaurant on our left as you come in from the main road called (.... something on the lake). It was good so eat there. Our room was small but not horrid and you can hear everything your neighbors say if you stand in the bathroom which can be amusing and annoying. We liked the idea of FREE entrance to the main attraction but just pay the entrance fee and stay else where.

Mua Cave Ecolodge is a great place to stay if you want to relax and connect with nature. The area is beautiful and it was great to be able to access the dragon Mountain anytime without charge. There isn’t much restaurants or shops around since it stands on a remote area but you can easily get to Tam Coc downtown in about 5 min by motorbike.

You wont get a better location in Tam Coc - stunning area. Loads of tourist but its easy to see why, generally staff were friendly. The rooms do however need renovation and freshening up, as they are quite dated and aged. Apart from this, it was a nice relaxing stay.

Love the location, beautiful quiet setting
Spacious room, though a/c is not very strong enough for the summer heat. Breakfast is simple but decent. There's bike & motor bike rentals facility on site, which we use. Entrance to Mua Cave was included in room rate. It was a long very steep climb to the top in the scorching early morning sun, though the view was fantastic.

Amazing location
The hotel is a cluster of bungalows nestled in the valley below Hang Mua. You’re actually beyond the ticketing access point to the mountain so you can climb it whenever during your stay. The restaurant serves a good meal (we ate both dinner and breakfast). Staff is very friendly and helpful and arranged a great private tour (Tam Coc-Bich Dong-Hoa Lu) for our group of four. Thuy, the guide is the best!

Very friendly helpful staff
Had a good stay here; didn't expect it to be so in the 'wilderness' or directly at the foot of the Dragon mountain; added bonus! Stayed one night expressly to climb mountain, so 12pm check out was appreciated. Dinner was a bit of a shame as the food was good but they were out of stock of quite a few things. Breakfast was good. Rooms are basic with hard beds but very clean. Ours was right near the mountain steps all on its own! Super dark on paths but torches are provided. Our friends had a double room which had an external shower and bath made from the cliff/mountain, pretty amazing (they also had an internal bathroom) The service was very good, with one exceptionally helpful lady. The welcome tea in reception is appreciated.

Stunning scenery!
This hotel could be the most amazing place, the location within the Mua caves is stunning. The restaurant staff could teach the front reception staff some lessons in friendliness though. Through out our travels in Vietnam this has been the least welcome we have felt. We stayed for Four nights in two different rooms as there was a mix up with the booking site. I had booked both Superior rooms but they made us change rooms despite the hotel being empty!?! Our second room which the frosty reception said was a deluxe actually turned out to be nicer anyway! Breakfast was ok but not much variety. The fresh juice was the best! Mua Caves eco resort could be so special with a bit of polish it is a bit roughly finished and a friendlier welcome!

A world of it's own, amongst the rice fields
If you want to get away from the world and into your own cocoon, Mua Cave Eco Lodge might be the best and most scenic place to stay at. It's a 10-12 min ride from the Tac Coc central area, tucked away next to the Mua Cave and temple. After sunset it might take some courage to get onto your scooter and get to town as the road leading to the main road gets really dark as there are no street lights, so bear that in mind. Good thing though that there is a restaurant in the lodge that serves reasonably good food at a reasonable price, phew! Waking up in the morning to amazing views around is the best morning to ask for. Plus you could wake up early and hike up the mountain in the cool weather for amazing 360 degree views of Tam Coc and the surrounding towns. The rooms and washrooms were big, clean and really cozy. We felt really relaxed during our one night stay here :)
