Rachamankha: "Rachamankha Chiang Mai — Perfect Hotel!"

Quaint, quiet, peaceful -- we arrived Christmas night (2017) and had dinner in the open-air/outdoor dining area. There was a beautiful, roaring fire (real fire, not gas!) and a duet playing Christmas songs. Could not have been a more perfect evening. This is a lovely hotel. Service and food was excellent! Located in the center of town -- perfect location.

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"

Muang La Resort: "We Will Go Back"

Set by the river and surrounded by beautiful countryside, this is a lovely place to stop for a few days on a trip round Northern Laos. The resort is extremely well maintained and the staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. The rooms are stylish, well equipped and very clean. The bathrooms are excellent. We went on a couple of trips in the local area while we were there, and although the weather was very wet during our stay, our excellent guide made sure we got the best out of them, which wasn't difficult as the scenery in the area is stunning. As others have said, the food at the resort is very good and the staff, rightly, take a lot of pride in it. In spite of this, they were still very tolerant of of our fussy teenagers and were happy to adapt the five course evening meals to suit them. We organised our transport through the resort, from Luang Prabang and onwards to Luang Namtha. It wasn't cheap, but was well worth it as the road from Luang Prabang to Oudomxai is poor in parts and our driver was excellent. All in all, it's hard to fault this resort, in fact it's quite remarkable to find one of such quality in such an isolated area.

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A gem of a hotel"

Beautiful quiet resort not far from the liveliness of Chaweng. A very personal service from the best staff ever, who used our first names. Great breakfast & fabulous food, especially the set menu on Weds.

Reverie Siam: "Four days in Pay"

Hi I would like to tell you just to book as you will not be disappointed with this hotel. We could of stopped forever in the villa next to the river. The food is excellent and we ate there quite a lot. The only problem I have with my entire stay is that there was not more of a Thai cuisine on the menu. Apart from that absolutely nothing whatsoever to mention. We will be back for a couple of weeks next time. Very helpful staff to.

The Village House: "Best place to stay on the peninsula"

I would echo all the previous reviews. Yes this place is out of the way, and in a completely different spot to the big resorts in Damai. But that is exactly the reason for choosing it, it's very intimate and relaxing, there's no kids around and you feel like you're experiencing something closer to Malaysian culture.

Sukoon Houseboat: "A superbly spiritual and idyllic destination"

This is a houseboat location on Lake Dal, Srinigar. It has been upgraded in the last three years and is an excellent experience for anyone looking for tranquillity in this kind of environment. Recent political disturbances will affect current travellers and will not be recommended by the UK foreign Office but once the troubles settle down again it will still be the perfect Kashmir experience. The service and courtesy is outstanding

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "A fantastic family experience. Thank you Leopard Safaris!"

This was brilliant. It was just 2 nights out of a long trip for our family but definitely one of the absolute highlights. We are a family of 4 with a 13 year old girl and 17 year old boy and we all loved everything about the camp and the game drives. Jeeps were perfect for game viewing and small enough that it was just our family in the jeep with a driver and a guide. We went on 4 game drives and saw heaps - leopard on 2 occasions,crocs, lots of elephant, eagles and so much more. They took us to the uncrowded blocks of the reserve, so you weren't fighting against lots of other jeeps to get to see the animals. It felt very personal, and different. The camp and tents were fab - all the mod cons and very comfortable whilst still giving a feeling of being out in the bush. We had been worried about being a bit bored in the middle of the day but the the game drives take up a large part of the time and the day just flew by. The new swimming pool will be a great addition. All the guides were superb - a fantastic family experience. Thank you Leopard Safaris

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Interesting culinary experience"

"We finally made it to LeDu and were not disappointed. A modern minimalistic designed restaurant and categorizing its cuisine is a bit difficult. It could be defined as Young Creative Cuisine with Thai Roots blended with international flavors You have a choice of a la carte but we went for the tasting menu of 5 courses and loved it. The service staff is very friendly and explain every dish carefully- which sometimes is not easy describing the complex flavor combinations. Its really a unique & interesting dining experience and we will be back"

Manda De Laos: "Lovely food, plenty of choice and great service"

This restaurant was very near our hotel so we went twice. The setting is around a "heritage" lily pond which was beautifully lit at night. There was a fairly extensive menu of both Lao and western dishes. It isn't cheap but everything we tried was very tasty. It is essential to book as this is deservedly a popular spot.
