Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a massage cost in Hanoi?
A reputable 60-minute foot massage runs about 350,000–450,000 VND ($14–18), a full-body traditional massage 450,000–700,000 VND ($18–28), and premium hotel treatments 1,000,000 VND and up. Blind-therapist spas like Omamori and Just Massage offer excellent 60–90 minute massages for around 150,000–500,000 VND.
Do I need to tip?
Tipping isn't mandatory but is appreciated — around 10–20% or 50,000–100,000 VND handed directly to the therapist. The blind-therapist social enterprises (Omamori, Just Massage) have explicit no-tipping policies and welcome donations instead. Hotel spas may add a service charge, so check the bill.
How do I avoid the dodgy 'massage' places?
Stick to spas with transparent pricing, uniformed staff and strong recent Google or TripAdvisor reviews. Avoid anywhere advertising 'B2B' (body-to-body), 'VIP' with suggestive images, or 'happy ending' — these are unregulated and carry scam and theft risks. Booking through your hotel or Klook is the safest route.
Do I need to book ahead?
Budget and mid-range shops in the Old Quarter usually take walk-ins. For premium day spas, hotel spas and weekend slots, book 1–2 days in advance. Hotel spas require a reservation.
Where are the best areas for a spa in Hanoi?
The Old Quarter / Hoan Kiem has the highest density of quality boutique spas and is most convenient for visitors. Tay Ho / West Lake is the expat-favoured area, with quieter, garden settings. Luxury sits in the five-star hotels around Hoan Kiem.
