Guest Reviews

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Superb must stay"

"This resort has all of its priorities straight. It has an Eco/ community based focus and customers are at the heart of everything that is done. We loved every minute of being here as the staff are so considerate and keen to please. The food at the restaurant is fabulous and the rooms are very nicely decorated and restful. The Burmese cat project is fantastic and the shop supports local development projects which sell their high quality products here. We believe this is a really special place to stay and we will remember it for a long time to come. Highly recommended! Stayed April 2016, traveled as a couple"

Mathis Retreat: "Séjour enchanteur"

"Le problème c'est qu'il n'y a aucun reproche à faire.tTout est prévu pour un séjour magique. De plus Karine est aux petits soins pour accommoder vos moindres désirs. Les repas sont excellents,le spa aussi. Félicitations aussi au personnel pour sa gentillesse."

Inle Princess Resort: "Loved it"

"I loved this hotel. Our chalets were huge and extremely comfortable, and I much appreciated the free minibar containing soft drinks. There were all the amenities you would expect, and the turn down service and cleaning of the rooms was excellent. The view across the lake was also splendid. We made good use of the spa, which has to have the most enormous treatment rooms anywhere. And the treatments were first class. The only thing that I would criticise are the steps into the bathroom and out to the outdoor shower from the room; the steps are all the same colour and in dim lighting merge into one another, with the result that we both tripped down them. A couple of white outlines on the steps would help enormously. There was a very nice bar area, which was extremely efficient and well-run. And the food in the restaurant was also good."

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Spettacolare"

"Il posto dove abbiamo soggiornato migliore,ottima location, tra le risaie di una bali che sta un po scomparendo,le abitazioni immerse nella foresta ,la privaci che non ha comparazione con altri posti , favoloso anche il cibo del ristorante !!sicuramente 1 notte troppo poco, la prossima volta almeno 2 o 3 giorni per farci coccolare di piu!! ! Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Summertime Villa: "Beautiful Villa, Great Location"

"The villa is absolutely fantastic in terms of decor and amenities. Designed and built by the owners, every artifact in the house has been very carefully selected. It's a a beautiful home best experienced personally as no pictures can do justice to the beauty of the place. It's managed very professionally with very accomodating staff. The location though is the best part, just off main Calangute road with easy access to beaches, restaurants and other fun activities. Kudos to the owner Hans, who is an extremely warm person and knows a lot about hospitality and how to keep his guests comfortable."

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Make reservations way in advance"

I was warned to make reservations in advance (which I did) as the restaurant is small. Boy was I glad. It is a wonderful set menu in an intimate restaurant where the chef actually comes to meet the diners. My 10 y/o daughter did not finish her last dish (but of course she had the dessert) and they charged us only for 5 dishes for her instead of the set 6 dish menu. So very nice of them. Each dish was well presented and was delicious. A must try when in Siem Reap.

Rachamankha: "Zen Hotel"

We loved our stay at Rachamankha. As others said, it felt like you were in a secluded location when you were actually right in the heart of old town Chiang Mai. Paul, the manager, is too good for words. He found out we were on our honeymoon...at our next hotel in Krabi, we had a package waiting for us in our room one night. It was a custom piece of artwork, with both my and my wife's names written in thai, and a personal note from Paul thanking us for staying at the hotel. We would absolutely stay here again without a 2nd thought.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Enchanting stay at Sandat Glamping Tents"

"We stayed only 1 night with friends in suite tents. The place is really what you can see on the website. Just fantastic, no insects, clean place, good food, nice deep private pool not too cold. Will come back when in Bali again"

Nimmu House: "Lovely place, full of charm!"

"We had the chance to stay one night in this wonderful house. It's the perfect place to get used to the altitude on the first days of your stay in the Himalaya or even for resting after a trek. You will definitely appreciate the beauty of the place, the landscapes and the perfect service of the very nice staff. Everything is done to ensure you have the best stay. The food cooked with fresh product from the village is DELICIOUS, especially their homemade apricot jam jar ! The rooms are very charming as well as the tents. The wooden structure makes you feel closer to the nature. The house is full of history and you have to ask the team to tell you. You will learn a lot about the way of living of Ladakhi people. I would recommend to anyone to stop at least for one night in this SURPRISING, RELAXING and AMAZING Nimmu House."

Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "A Foodie Paradise!"

Run - don't walk - to this culinary gem! Tucked away on Soi 7, Blackitch is easy to miss, and but for the recommendation of our Concierge, would never have been on our radar. Thankfully it was. The quirky but inviting dining area only holds three tables, creating a kitchen-table like atmosphere which complements Chef Black's generous and personal approach to cooking for his guests. The 9-course menu changes daily according to the freshest ingredients available that day. Our meal incorporated plants he had foraged at 6 am, deep dark honey he had carried back from Chiang Rai, beef and pork he had fermented for two weeks, and smoked short rice grains collected from the nearby hill tribes. The ice cream was being hand-churned in the gelato lab downstairs when we arrived. Each course is carefully introduced and explained, and as one sips the 2 year-aged plum wine (made by Chef Black of course), it is easy to get lost in the narrative. The food however speaks for itself, as does the warmth and sincerity of our host. A true Chiang Mai "Must"!
