The River Resort: "Superbe ! Notre plus bel hôtel au Laos"

Review by: Cecile S | Source: Trip Advisor
Superbe : l arrivée en bateau et l accueil, l aménagement paysager du site, la qualité des constructions et la décoration, les 2 douches dans la chambre, le petit déjeuner surtout lorsqu il n y a pas le buffet et que l on peut choisir parmi du salé et du sucré frais et bien cuisiné, les 2 grandes piscines, le personnel discret et efficace, le prêt de vélo (et cerise sur le gâteau l attention parfaite de vous offrir une bouteille d eau fraîche pour votre balade !). Bref après 3 semaines au Laos nous sommes en mesure de comparer : du très très haut niveau, luxueux mais où on se sent bien ! Et la literie parfaite...

Yandabo Home: "A special place"

Review by: FrancesAndLee | Source: Trip Advisor
"Having enjoyed our river cruise from Bagan, we were whisked by a small boat to arrive at Yandabo Home and a warm greeting from the staff group. A real achievement to create this boutique hotel here, off the beaten track. Simple bedroom with a high quality bathroom and products and food well presented. Friendly staff took us to visit the local villages with tea and biscuits on the way on the boat back a nice touch. Thanks to all the team. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Wonderful family holiday"

Review by: CapeGooseberry | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed here for 11 days with 2 small children in April 2017 and were the last to leave before they closed for monsoon season. We were really worried about the weather at this time of year but it was beautiful and couldnt have been more perfect. This is a very private, unspoilt place to enjoy a family holiday. The food was fantastic, and a really good effort was made by the kitchen to keep the menu varied throughout our stay. The little pizza bar run by Gai down at the beach was great too. Massi and the team were outstanding, we really felt like we were in our own private island paradise. We stayed in Metha, which was wonderful.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent Local Cuisine"

Review by: Jason G | Source: Trip Advisor
Great restaurant offering local cuisine in a comfortable & stylish environment. Easy walk from several hotels. We arrived without a reservation & a table was quickly found for us despite it being busy. The service was good & fairly prompt. The menu has a nice variety of meat, fish & veg options. A great choice & good evening.

Tugu Bali: "Beauty in Bali"

Review by: Caroline2357 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a lovely stay here in September, sadly of only 2 nights... We were greeted and welcomed so well when we arrived after a long journey and nothing was too much for the staff. This area of Canggu is near to Echo Beach and a part of Bali that we see has not been spoilt yet... We were told that Seminyak was the place to go but I disagee and would strongly advise this area as it is more pure and real Bali than Seminyak. Our Dedari suite room at the hotel was truly beautiful and an outdoor/indoor bathroom with fish pond! Only downside was that we thought the hotel was on the beach but it isn't although just a few steps away..."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "More than excellent hotel on the lake"

Review by: happypuddie | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel far exceeded expectations. We were drawn to this hotel because of their approach - not for profit organization which provides on-site vocational training to young people in the region providing them a skill set in the ever growing hospitality industry. - Property/rooms nicely designed & well-maintained. - Housekeeping staff great. Rooms thoroughly cleaned. Great turn down service. - Restaurant staff also great. Helpful and had good command of English language. - Breakfast and dinner was delicious. Extra star for breakfast - homemade baked goods and jam! I've had over cooked scrambled eggs in many places. But not here! - Gift shop was great. All their products are from disadvantaged community groups around the area so what you buy goes back to support their livelihood. - Loved the organic vegetable garden growing on property. - Only thing average was massage service. Not sure they are properly trained. Only regret is that we didn't stay longer! I was pleasantly surprised to see the caliber of service from these student trainees we received. To the management - whatever training program you have designed, you have done it extremely well! Please keep up these standards! Stayed March 2016, traveled with family"

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Hidden oasis"

Review by: Steven P | Source: Trip Advisor
We have stayed at Maison Wat Kor for very short time with two couples for relaxing and escapre from the crowded world. Definitely this is a little oasis with a lush garden surrounded. The best part of the place - peaceful environment, quiet in the middle of village in Battambang. Our night for dinner was extremly delightful and also having the best talk with the owners during the dinner time too. The set dinner with red wine in the most beautiful enrionments in their little restaurants. Overall it is a very peaceful little Khmer house and definitely recommended.

Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "An unforgettable experience"

Review by: Cdog125 | Source: Trip Advisor
A truly unique and distinctive experience at Blackitch Artisan Kitchen. Chef Black's philosophy around food and ethics comes through in all his dishes - local, creative, artisan and balanced. His food is innovative, experimental and he has a real flair for flavours. Chef Black explained each of his dishes as they came to the table and the processes - the majority of the food is organic and handmade. I was fascinated to hear about the fermentation processes and work he'd gone through to create the dishes - an unforgettable evening !
