Sukoon Houseboat: "Lovely experience!"

Review by: fran1171 | Source: Trip Advisor
I've spent 3 nights on Sukoon Houseboat together with my father to start our trip through India and it was a fantastic experience! The houseboat has 5 comfortable rooms, authentic but with all modern comfort and well-equipped bathrooms. We wer lucky to meet the owner, mr Chapri, a very friendly man with whom we had interesting conversations. All stafmembers are very friendly and their service is impecable and of a high level. For diner, let the chef surprise you and you will be overwhelmed! Definetely the best choice for your stay on Dal Lake!

Jing’s Residence: "Beautiful hotel in an ancient Chinese walled city"

Review by: Helen G | Source: Trip Advisor
Loved Pingyao and loved this beautiful hotel. From our gorgeous room with courtyard view to the incredibly attentive staff, our stay here was perfect. It rained a lot during our stay, but we spent a great morning making noodles in a cookery class with Henry (who was very patient), and the beef noodle soup with pickled vegetables for breakfast was one of the best dishes we had in China.

Reverie Siam Pai: "Best couple getaway in Pai"

Review by: jaruprapa | Source: Trip Advisor
This could be one of the best kept secret place in Pai. We stayed in a mountain view suite which is very spacious. The hotel is so lovely and the food at the main restaurant is so good that we were really reluctant to go anywhere. A perfect stay!

Villa Song Saigon: "Calm oasis"

Review by: rachelsO4386LK | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is a calm oasis away from the bustle of the busy city with its thousands of motor cyclists. Friendly helpful staff, a stunning building and a refreshing clean swimming pool, with delicious food (local and international) served in the garden by the river. We liked the tablet computer photos (brought to the table) of the food so we could see before we ordered - a nice touch. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Sea Dance Resort: "An island on the island"

Review by: majaheintze | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed ten days at the sea dance resort and had a perfect time there. The resort is really beautiful, very quiet and charming. And Poy and his team were all so friendly, attentively and helpful that it felt like staying with friends. The food at the restaurant was just excellent, the best we tasted on our Thailand journey. Thank you all so much for the great service, we will defintely come back."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Great location & beautiful property"

Review by: Benedict T | Source: Trip Advisor
Very friendly & helpful staff, including the manager. Decided to give this hotel a try based on some recommendations, and also due to the fact that i had a work appointment nearby. Great location & many interesting local attractions to visit nearby. Food at the Blue Mansion was brilliant.

The Cabochon Hotel: "charming and intimate"

Review by: Judy A | Source: Trip Advisor
My room was very private, comfortable and everything worked well. No fuss and elegant, yet quite different form larger hotels. Very individual. the pool was very nice for a dip at the end of the day. the breakfast in the library is great as is the restaurant. Everything is well done.

sukoon: "Sukoon… Peace of mind"

Review by: Vinod R | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Happened to stay at sukoon for one night. Houseboat is located in one corner of dal lake and it rightfully earns it's name ""sukoon"". All I can hear was birds chirping, occasional ripples of water caused due to shikara and ofcourse my baby girl commenting in her coded language. You will find an amazing team who amongst themselves can communicate in total 10 Indian languages. Give a free hand to chef Anand who can experiment and amaze you with his culinary skills. Try Kashmiri bread with butter and apple cinnamon jam. For travellers who would like to watch TV this place would disappoint you as in principle it's against the theme. For history lovers make sure to read a letter from the office of Neil Armstrong dated 1972. A vote of thanks to tariq, kiran, azad and Anand for their wonderful hospitality. "
