Rachamankha: "Beautiful, boutique hotel, don’t expect 5 bars, a gym & 3 restaurants"

A gem of a hotel, hidden away down a side lane in the old city. No noise, 24hr security & an architectural wonder of Thai design. Rooms with covered walkways are all built round open courtyards with paths, palm & oleander trees & pots, joining them to different areas of the hotel. The pool area is beautifully maintained & the library has an old colonial feel with many interesting subjects to browse, particularly travel & architecture. Our room was quiet, spacious, spotlessly clean, with an excellent shower & lovely Moulton Brown toiletries. Breakfast was taken outside or in, waiter served with choices cooked to order. Very relaxing compared to the pandemonium of buffet breakfasts experienced elsewhere. Restaurant evening meals delicious & beautifully presented. Would definitely return & recommend.

Satri House: "Fantastic boutique hotel"

Great service, well maintained, and smoothly run boutique hotel located just 500m from Luang Prabang downtown. Very friendly and discreet service, rooms in good shape and a fine breakfast restaurant as well as good pool and spa services. We'll be back.

Jings-residence: "A haven of peace"

"We stayed at Jing's Residence for 2 nights and this was really a wonderful experience. After the noise and the crowd of the city , Jing's Residence offers a quiet and peaceful environment, sophisticated yet making you feel like in a friend's or family home. From the rooms and exquisite decoration, to the restaurant and the staff, everything was perfect. We celebrated my father's birthday there and the staff was very kind and thoughtful. I also tested the spa which was a very pleasant moment. This is truly one of our best experience in China."

David’s Kitchen: "More than fine dining.. it was an unforgettable experience"

"To start, I NEVER write reviews.. but David, his staff, and the entire experience altogether surpassed our expectations! We were running thirty minutes late because of the taxi.. not even knowing if our reservation was still held (we didn’t bother getting SIM cards so we weren’t able to call.) As we arrived, we were personally greeted by David, himself! The conversation was far from your typical owner/manager greeting. He shared life stories, genuinely asked about our trip, and even gave us recommendations for the following city we were visiting. This, alone, was enough for us to come back if we were ever in the city again. The table was beautifully set with rose petals and a birthday greeting card. David’s “favorite” table definitely served its justice. I definitely felt special, as there were about four other birthdays that same night. The food was PHENOMENAL and boy, did we order a bunch of food/wine! Surf and turf is to die for!! As for the service, we were catered to like kings and queens. We aren’t very needy people at restaurants but let me tell you... one glance up and the waitress was ready to hurry over to our table! As I reread this paragraph, I realized that words really cannot justify to our exceptional experience. By far the best experience I had with ANY company that I’ve been a customer to. I promise you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you, David and staff!"

Tugu Bali: "One of the best hotels I stayed in"

This is by far one fo the best hotel I've stayed in. The room we had was comfortable and super spacious. The staff is what makes this hotel, they are very attentive and discreet. The pool is great, the food is delicious, the location is wonderful, right next to the beach and the Old Man's restaurant/beach bar. The massages were good too. I would definitely stay there again.

Rahai’i Pangun: "Great crew!"

"This was my first time traveling alone, and I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived for this portion. But I absolutely loved it. The crew was great, the guide Tri was fantastic, and the trip itself was so relaxing and interesting. We saw many orangutans in the forest (including a baby!), visited Dayak villages, and had delicious meals three times a day- and that's coming from someone who considers herself a picky eater. I absolutely recommend this tour group (and especially the boat and staff I had). I'd also suggest you go while you can- you could see gold prospecting in quite a few spots. In order for them to get at the gold, they need to burn the forest down. It also leaves large mounds of white sand along the river. It's very sad, but perhaps with an up-tick in tourism, there will be a greater push for putting a stop to this? I'd like to add while it was disturbing to see, it did not make the trip less enjoyable. Rather, it just makes me want to get more involved."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Un havre de paix au milieu des rizières"

Cet hôtel est absolument magnifique , perdu au milieu des rizières . La vue est juste sublime. Les chambres sont belles et confortables. Le personnel est charmant et très attentif. Le restaurant ne dépare en rien l ensemble, les plats sont beaux , raffinés et excellents.

David’s Kitchen: "Superb! Chiang Mai’s Superior Restaurant"

"Living in Chiang Mai for part of the year, I'd heard about David's. All positive remarks, but really did not understand how truly exceptional this restaurant is. A friend took me to David's for a belated birthday dinner. I was in heaven! The setting and ambience was elegant yet very comfortable. The service impeccable! I suggest their simple field greens salad and then go for the gusto...snails, duck, pork Asian style. And! My favorite desert is Creme Brule ....it was fantastic. Yes, it is more expensive than most restaurants in CM....but we are talking 5 stars here. In my estimation nothing compares to David's ...in Chiang Mai. The Very Best! Make sure you book a day or do in advance."

Amata Lanna: "Peaceful and beautiful"

Absolute gem in the heart of Chiang Mai. Close to everything and yet removed and peaceful. Staff was exceptionally helpful (finding rides, giving restaurant recommendations, giving directions, etc), grounds and room were spotless, beds comfortable. I cannot say enough lovely things about this spot. Breakfast was fantastic and cost was just right! I would absolutely stay here again! Close to a number of great restaurants and the ever so popular night market. A winner all around!

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Relaxing"

"This hotel is excellent, I will certainly return. From the pick up at the airport, tea on route and the well appointed rooms I really can't fault it, the views from anywhere in the hotel are breathtaking, the food, although limited in choice is excellent, if you like walking and enjoy peace and quite this would be a great choice, additionaly the tea plantation and working factory are a great visit. Room Tip: A room with walk in shower is a good choice"
