Rachamankha: "A peaceful haven"

Review by: Shenaz B | Source: Trip Advisor
My husband and my self visited Chiangmai in 1997 and stayed at the Rachamankha. The feeling of being transported to another world is really true. This hotel is in the midst of the city but the exquisite lay out of the interior and exterior is pretty hard to beat. We spend our winters in Chiangmai since then and visit Rachamankha every week to simply enjoy the tranquility of this wonderful hotel. The staff is very attentive and very well trained. They almost guess and jump to your needs before you can voice them. The kitchen is a very good a mix of Thai and European cuisine. Good wines. We really consider ourselves fortunate to have discovered this gem. I was impressed by the owners astute insight into the the Thai culture which he has presented in his unique style. We are fans of Rachamanka

RACHAMANKHA: "A wonderful place"

Review by: sungsamuel2016 | Source: tripadvison.com
"Rachamankha Hotel is the best place that I ever had to hold a party of 50 people. The staff were very efficient and friendly. They picked up all my guests from the airport and checked them in to their rooms speedily with no hazels. Rooms are extremely neat, tidy and clean. Everyone said the same thing ""bed was so comfortable and I had an extremely good sleep"". The entire hotel was beautifully decorated with flowers and a collection of beautiful ceramics which are displayed in a well-lit cabinet. The lobby courtyard and the restaurant courtyard provided extra space for pre-dinner drinks and after dinner party. Food was extremely good. The hotel had also arranged the best in town live band and photographer for us. In the morning, the hotel had also installed a big bed of flowers next to the dinning room. Everyone was refreshed and pleased. All of us had a wonderful weekend. I sincerely thank Paul (the manager) for his second to no one organization skills in making my party so successful. Rachamankha, you are unbeatable! "

Bali Jiwa Villa: "the real Bali in a very elegant setting"

Review by: mlefevre | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We have been several times to Bali Jiwa Villas and every time it feels like coming back home. The staff is very professional and attentional, very kind yet very discreet and we love to dine there. The food is super fresh, delicious & beautifully presented without being over the top and we love the Indonesian accents. I particularly love their home made jams, especially the banana one.. so yummy! The fact that they have a surprise menu rather than a la carte is unusual but we both really love to be surprised ( I do not eat meat but Made, the cook always find the perfect dishes!) The villa is spacious and one feels free.. No huge cement walls closing up the space.. on the contrary the serenity of the surroundings with the breathtaking view is always appeasing when we return and we make sure to spend as much time there are possible. It is simply perfect to unwind and reconnect with the surrounding nature. I personally always look forward to the fireflies at night.! They also have a collection of coffee table books about Bali/Indonesia and novels in three languages to borrow from, so I never need to carry much with me. We love to sit in the big salon and read while drinking a delicious ginger tea and nibbling on their home made cookies ( the coconut ones are my favorites!) We love the fact that it is hidden and so quiet but Ubud is only a jump away and the staff was always very accommodating to arrange a transfer for us at any time we wanted to go to watch traditional dances or visit one of the art museums. Will we come back! Definitely. Can we recommend it ? Absolutely."

Samanea Beach Resort: "Good ratio Quality/Price"

Review by: sethan2016 | Source: Trip Advisor
I have liked the Quietness, the outside landscape of the hotel, the kindness of the Khmer staff. Cleanliness of room should be improved. Beach is not really bathing beach as sea water at the beach seems not to be appropriate for bathing

Very beautiful place, very charming, top atmosphere, with 3 very old lotus pounds Patrimoine Mondial de l'Unesco. Food tasty, staff very professional, fair. We had dinner then lunch there, in both case we appreciate! Most recommended! Book in advance.

satri house: "A jewel"

Lovely colonial property with modern facilities. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Interesting rooms and common areas with beautiful antiques. Nice pool and garden, which makes this a perfect oasis to relax. Excellent food, too.

Satri House: "Perfection in Luang Prabang"

Review by: NYCtraveler319 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We recently stayed three nights at the beautiful Satri House and loved every bit of our stay. The hotel seems straight out of a travel magazine as it is decorated very stylishly but simply, without skimping on luxury. It's a quiet oasis to return to after a day of sightseeing - have a beer Lao and a relaxing swim at the beautiful pool! The location is ideal - just a few minutes bike ride to town, and on a quiet street away from the main drag. The staff is wonderful: kind, attentive, and one of the best parts of the stay. They easily made dinner reservations and arranged private excursions; they even went out of their way to get us bubble wrap for things we had bought. No complaints at all about this gem of a hotel in beautiful Luang Prabang - can't wait to return one day!"

Maduzi Hotel: "Favorite hotel in Bangkok"

Review by: Terri C | Source: Trip Advisor
What surprised me about this hotel was how spacious the rooms are, especially compared to others in the area. It was also conveniently located not far from the BTS station. But far and away what set it apart from other hotels was the customer service. Highly recommend!

Yandabo Home: "wonderful facility"

Review by: Lucdu95 | Source: Trip Advisor
Located along the river we were lucky only d.etre overnight. Serenities a bubble in the middle of nowhere. The bungalow is new, spacious beautifully decorated with a large bathroom. The staff is on hand to make this place unique. The restaurant is very good with traditional cuisine. Breakfast is served at the table and croissants come from afar to satisfy customers. Do not miss .
