Guest Reviews

Muang La Lodge: "Super get away."

"Great small lodge right on the river Ou. Indeed the swimming pool is on an island in the middle of the river that you get to via a wooden bridge. Lovely big rooms (somewhat like a Lao 'Tudor' look with all white and dark exposed timbers). Super meals ... dinner is a 5 course degustation. There is a natural hot spring that the locals use, and the lodge has permission to pump from the spring into two huge baths on small towers for the use of guests from 4.30.pm when it is still 42C - let it cool into evening a little! Great local market if you want to rise at 5.30am and have a bit of a stroll into the village. Don't miss a trip to the hill tribes. Loved this place."

The Governor’s House: "Oasis of calm"

I have to say, for the first time in many years, all the team at The Governors House made my wife and I feel so welcome, that we did, dab our eyes a little as we left. It really is somewhere special amongst the chaos and mayhem that is Phnom Penh. There was the comfortable room, the excellent restaurant (the best John Dory I have eaten since leaving Europe), the marvels of the wine cellar, the refreshing pool, however, the crowning glory is the human touch, so good that we declined to go anywhere else during our 4 night stay, except for sight seeing. Alain and his team, Francois, Samlot, Mary and Kim and the others all touched our life in a way that is uniquely Cambodian, when we return it is because of them, not because of the amazing temples, fantastic pagodas and jaw dropping scenery. Thank you to you all.

Satri House: "Wonderful Boutique Hotel"

"What a delightful surprise this little hotel was! We had the absolute best stay. The gardens and pools are amazing. The pictures really doesn't do it justice. We spend hours just lazing on the sun loungers ordering drinks. You couldn't ask for a more perfect location. 5 min walk to all the action, yet quiet and secluded from it at the same time. We enjoyed taking the free bicycles available and taking long rides next to the beautiful Mekong. The entire hotel has been tastefully renovated, the decor is sublime. Each element carefully chosen and blends in with nature and the french heritage of the town. The pools look green because they are tiled in little green tiles that mirror the beautiful gardens. I'm going to make a special mention of the warm and caring staff. We truly felt welcome, and cared for. They would arrange anything, give advice on all, and run after us with umbrellas. We'll be back."

Rachamankha: "A superb and authentic boutique hotel"

This place has everything I am looking for in a boutique hotel: charm, character, personality, style, comfort and more. Every single detail has clearly been thought through by someone of great taste and the result projects unpretentious refinement. The location is also excellent as well as the restaurant and service. I will definitely go back and highly recommend this hotel.

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Luxury Eco villa"

"We spent 4 nights here in February 2016 , staying in Bougainvillea Baan and absolutely loved it . The house was almost on the beach with well designed open decking areas , comfortable chairs for lounging in , outdoor shower , mosquito nets , dining area etc , plus a great collection of books and magazines to browse. It had a kitchen and dining table which went unused as we ate at the restaurant each evening . The food, service , and cocktails were excellent ; fresh and delicious every time . The club house and bar were great areas for sitting drinking and watching the sunsets and Happy Hour an absoloute must at 6 pm . The staff were always courteous , helpful and unfailingly polite. Loved the shop too , with a range of authentic and beautifully curated range of clothes , jewellery , glasses , textiles etc : we didn't bother going to the markets as everything we wanted to buy was here... And more ! A truly beautiful and magical place , made so by the people who work , run and manage it , and a special mention for Pena ! Very much intend to return"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "One of the most amazing places we have ever stayed"

"We stayed at Glenburn for a long weekend. It was an unbelievable experience. Set in a truly unique location the estate is immaculately kept. Very nice rooms with magnificent views. The dining room is one very large table where all quests eat together. The food is excellent. The estate arranged various trips for us. They are very accommodating. We took a long walk down hill, several hours through absolutely gorgeous tea plantations. At the bottom Glenburn estate has a little cottage where lunch (with cold beers!) was served. We could have walked back up, but chose to drive back up. Very convenient. its the perfect place to unwind and relax and get a feel for this unique part of India."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Exquisite mountain lodge situated 1000 feet above Pokhara Valley"

Stayed two nights at this marvelous mountain lodge that sits on a hilltop ridge overlooking the Pokhara Valley. Your "room" is actually a very spacious, luxurious, comfortable, hand cut stone bungalow blending naturally into their surroundings and sited to maximize the breathtaking vistas of the valley and Himalayas mountains. Each room has a private verandah and set in private gardens. There is an infinity pool with unmatched views of the mountains. The main lodge with both in and outdoor dining facilities and patios to enjoy the valley and mountain views is very, very nice. Our first night there were just three couples and we enjoyed a lively discussion over dinner. The second night had a large group of 19 guests which didn't "take over the space" since the bungalows are spread out and all very private. Most enjoyable stay here after our three days of trekking. Great place to begin your trekking experience or to recuperate afterwards. Most relaxing and the restaurant offerings are top notch, as is the staff and the manager, Mark. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Tents with style"

We arrives here after a very long drive fro Phnom Penh and how unusual was it? Reception and booking in twenty minutes by boat from the actual hotel ---bliss. Lovely setting in a river that is just magical with staff mostly from the local village being trained up -- loved it. Rooms are posh tents and are comfortable quiet and well equipped. Our welcome was warm and personal and without exception the staff were efficient professional friendly and eager to please. We took the trip to the waterfalls and spent a very pleasant few hours swimming kayaking and generally enjoying the sights of the area. Our guide was superb and made the trip really enjoyable and memorable. Kayaking the best part of half a mile down the river whilst our guide took piccies was really good fun. Thanks to everyone involved in this worthwhile project in a stunning setting

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Wonderful Experience – Hanok in Bukchon"

This beautiful property tucked away in the Bukchon neighborhood of Seoul is an absolute gem! We had the opportunity to spend 3 amazing nites in the Rak Ko Jae, and during our stay we met Winnie, our fabulous and very accommodating host. She prepared amazing breakfastes and was so delightful to chat with. Loved our quaint sleeping quarters and the heated floors. Plus the supercool old school korean tub. So enjoyed just snooping around the amazing complex. I'm running out of superlatives to use! Also, check out the hot sauna, sweating until you cant keep your eyes open (in a good way!). We'll never forget our visit.
