Tripadvisor’s 2025 awards highlighted Vietnamese destinations, hotels and activities. These were separate categories, so the results should not be combined into a single ranking.
The awards draw on traveller reviews and ratings. Best of the Best is a distinct level within the programme, with results organised by category.
This article records selected 2025 results. Current rankings and the details of individual tours or hotels may differ.
Destinations
Hanoi placed seventh in the global destinations list. Its food, historic streets, museums and everyday city life offer many ways to explore.
Hanoi’s railway-side streets; follow all access restrictions.
Hotels
Two Vietnamese properties featured prominently in the global hotel selection:
Grandvrio Ocean Resort Danang, a beachfront resort between Da Nang and Hoi An.
Grandvrio Ocean Resort Danang
La Siesta Classic Ma May, a boutique hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Confirm current room categories and services when booking.
Things to Do
Activity awards relate to specific products and operators, not every tour to the same place.
A full-day Ninh Binh tour from Hanoi topped Tripadvisor’s special 25th-anniversary experiences list. That anniversary recognition was separate from the annual category rankings.
Tourists take a boat ride through Tam Coc, Ninh Binh
Check the named operator’s current itinerary, group size and inclusions if you want to book the award-winning product. A different Ninh Binh tour may follow a different route.
The appeal of the area includes boat journeys, limestone scenery and historic sites, but the experience depends on the programme you choose.
