satrin house: "Beautiful hotel, Great service"

Review by: M H | Source: tripadvison.com
"We've stayed in a suite room for 4 nights here, and this was the main reason for our happy trip in Luangprabang. Everything is great here, great room, great service, great breakfast. It's a good place to chill and let time stop. The only minor draw back is the hotel quite far to walk from walking street (2-3km) even though hotel has a free bicycle for guests to use. I've tried once and found that cars in Luangprabang driving rather hectic (ps. I'm not a good cycling person either). The better choice is to take tuk tuk which was cost 20,000 KIP (sometimes driver called for 30,000 KIP) for one way. "

The Island Lodge: "Peaceful place with great food"

Review by: Steve H | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at the Island Lodge in January 2017 for three nights. A wonderful, peaceful spot with fantastic service and food! We were glad that we chose a riverview room and enjoyed watching life pass us by on the Mekong. The transfer from the airport took about 2 hours. We took a coconut farm tour offered by the lodge that was great, a combo of a boat ride and bicycling through back paths around the island that had little or no traffic. We also had the same guide, Kuy (not sure how he spelled it) take us across the river to the small city of My Tho. We took bikes and visited the Buddhist temple and the fruit market and got a good taste of Vietnam life in an area with few Westerners. The Island Lodge would be a nice stop before or after the chaos of Ho Chi Minh City. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Review by: Oana D | Source: Trip Advisor
"I discovered a wild place, where nature and silence seem like paradise. Large and confortable rooms so well integrated in the nature, without hurting it. My stay was so enjoyable : place is very clean, confortable, and staff so attentive and friendly. I enjoyed relaxation, water, fine food and wines, all these brought together by the kind and competent managers Anna and Valentin, dedicated to their customers. I will return for sure, temptation is not a sin !"

Tugu Lombok: "It’s like heaven on earth"

Review by: marianindita | Source: Trip Advisor
"The room is delightful, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is like heaven, and the view is stunning.. We really enjoyed the visit, we stayed in Bhagavad Gita Room with personal pool and spacious bed. All over the hotel has beautiful antique furniture, sculpture, paintings, etc. That makes the hotel very unique and exquisite. The food is quite expensive for local tourists but reasonable for those who come from stronger currencies. We plan to come back for longer stay :)"

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Beautifully well preserved"

Review by: LauFou63 | Source: tripadvisor.com
This hotel is really special. The building and the rooms are just breathtaking. The attention to detail and the original features really set it apart. I loved the light switches! The location is great, really close to everything yet completely quiet and tranquil as soon as you walk through the gates. The staff is really friendly as well and were always available for whatever we needed. Overall, great value and would definitely stay there again.

Villa Song Saigon: "Compact Asian Luxury.. Absolutely fantastic hotel"

Review by: Nolan A | Source: Trip Advisor
"We booked the same day we were to arrive given our initial hesitation to have Vietnam as destination for our long weekend escapade. We were amazed at the efficiency by which we were accommodated. The suites were booked for the night but a smaller room was instead alloted for us. It was topnotch from the pristine furnitures and fixtures to the vibrant yet impressively balanced art works. The following day we were transferred to the freed up art villa suite with an astonishing den overlooking the saigon river. The breakfast was eat all you can ala carte and the boutique hotel again exceeded our expectations. Personally this is where we had our best ever coffee experience and you can feel there was passion behind the creation of the food they serve. The hotel helped us book with the river sunset cruise. With the weather getting in the way of seeing the sunset, our guide ""Luke"" took us instead to the floating Pagoda and to a coconut drop off point where we had fresh young coconut juice that tastes even more heavenly than the ones we have in our very own beloved Philippines. This was the highlight of the vietnamese cultural education aspect of our trip having been immersed with our superbly fluent local guide who's versed with of course the country's current issues and its vibrant history. The attentive hot staff were promptly alert and each was attentively catering to our every tiny need. If you're after a compact yet very privately intimate vietnamese atmosphere fused with a strong french structural vibe, then you'd certainly feel like you struck gold with Villa Song. It heartfully made our vietnam trip an unforgettable success."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Design und Gastfreundschaft"

Review by: zsimonz | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wir können über die Slow Private Pool Villas nur Gutes berichten. Die Villen sind cool und gemütlich designed, das Frühstück ist wirklich sehr gut und man erhält super Informationen über die Insel und allfällige Aktivitäten. Mit den Slow Villas Fahrrädern (gegen eine angemessene Gebühr) erreicht man sämtliche Punkte auf der Insel in kürzester Zeit und es macht auch Spaß mit dem Rad die Gegend zu erkunden. In der ganzen Woche, in der wir über die Insel gefahren sind, hätten wir keine Unterkunft gesehen, wo wir lieber gewesen wären als in den Slow Villas. Wir hatten eine super Zeit und bedanken uns noch für die super Organisation der Aktivitäten (Snorkling Trip, SUP, Tauchen)."
