Satri House: "An oasis of coolness and calm."

Review by: russell p | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Within the bustling tourist hotspot that is Luang Prabang, Satri House is an oasis of coolness and calm. With its beautiful gardens, cool fountains and pools; with its delightful spaces formed between and around the buildings which make up the various parts of the hotel; it is indeed like being in a very special retreat. The most charming and helpful staff create the feeling of being in a grand English Country House and they are both inconspicuous and yet always available to meet your every need, Breakfasts and dining experiences are memorable. A truly wonderful experience. (...) Nevertheless, staying at Satri House is without doubt a fascinating and most enjoyable experience -- albeit an expensive one. Highly recommended."

All the reviews say it all. If you are visiting Chiang Mai and your budget allows this restaurant is a must. Prices are about the same as a good restaurant in the UK. Food is exceptional, very large choice to suit all palettes. Great wine list. The service is very attentive nice touch is that David greets dinners. Wonderful experience.

JL Studio: "Amazing. Just amazing"

Review by: DMS123 | Source: Trip Advisor
Booked through a website called Secret Tables. When I arrived I was escorted to a secret table. Basically a room with a little table just for me. Bit weird. But loved it for that very fact. Staff were brilliant. A lovely candle. Won't spoil it for you. Just admire upon arrival. Highly attentive service. Subtle at the same time. Welcome drink amazing. And more if desired. Then the degustation meal came. Each dish a masterpiece to be admired before consumption and more so upon it. Great thought has been put into the entire experience of dining here. You will be rewarded for going. There will be no regrets. I walked 5km to get there from where I was staying. Not a step back unworthy of what I encountered. Congratulations team. Soon you will have a star or two and they will come. Please change nothing when the deserved success arrives.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Amazing experience"

Review by: management882 | Source: Trip Advisor
"What an amazing experience it was to stay at 4 Rivers floating lodge. I only have positive things to say, starting with the warm welcome at their reception area , to the boat trip, friendly and efficient team ! The tents are extremely comfortable, the attention to details is quiet exceptional !!! The breakfast is gigantic , the food is good. 4 rivers is very much involved in preservation and supporting local community, they raised money to build a school in a small village nearby. It was a very special moment and one of the best accommodation I saw in Cambodia. Will be back for sure !"

Tugu Lombok: "It’s like heaven on earth"

Review by: marianindita | Source: Trip Advisor
"The room is delightful, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is like heaven, and the view is stunning.. We really enjoyed the visit, we stayed in Bhagavad Gita Room with personal pool and spacious bed. All over the hotel has beautiful antique furniture, sculpture, paintings, etc. That makes the hotel very unique and exquisite. The food is quite expensive for local tourists but reasonable for those who come from stronger currencies. We plan to come back for longer stay :)"

The Village House: "An amazing place – absolultely beautiful and run by the loveliest people"

Review by: LaurelG15 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"The Village House is an easy and traffic-free 40-45 minute drive from Kuching at the foot of Mount Santubong. It's absolutely beautiful - it's clear the owners have put tremendous thought and effort into creating a relaxing little oasis, and they've accomplished as much. The grounds are beautiful - very green and very relaxing with a luxury, boutique-y feel - when you see it, you can't believe how little they charge to stay here! The rooms are immaculate with gorgeous four-poster beds and well thought-out décor. The hotel is really, really gorgeous, but the highlight is the service - they went WAY above and beyond anything I've ever experienced. We forgot a backpack, so the owner lent us one - and not only that, but very kindly stocked it with bug spray and band-aids for our climb up Santubong! Then, when we got a little stranded and couldn't get a taxi back, the hotel chef came to pick us up - couldn't believe how helpful they were. We did two activities while we were here (climbed Santubong and a day at Bako) and they organized everything for us at VERY reasonable prices. We spent no time at all making our own arrangements, which made the weekend super enjoyable and relaxing. I couldn't recommend this place more highly. We've been to the Kuching area three times and this is by far and away the best place we've stayed - and in all my travels, the best customer service I've ever received from a hotel! "

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent food, reasonable prices"

Review by: programmer437 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I went on a date here with my (now) fiancee. I have to applaud David's kitchen for its flexibility in food and service - the clientele is a mix of thai nationals, Americans, Australians, Europeans, etc - yet the wait staff seem to be experts at responding to every inquiry. I had a food allergy (can't eat oats), and the wait staff was fast to swap out the bread for us. My fiancee was not a fan of her first soup order, and the staff exchanged it at no cost for another soup, which she liked much more. The actual food I would place at slightly above average. I ordered the strip steak. I can say I've had better steaks in America or Japan, but they were also more expensive. One dish doesn't make a restaurant, though - everything else was five stars: The truffle sauce was perfect. The appetizers were perfect. The chocolate lava cake was absolutely amazing. The cocktails were flawless. A mix of Thai friendliness and western elegance, this is a must for any traveler in Chiang Mai."
