David’s Kitchen: "Six star restaurant"

Review by: Maria B | Source: Trip Advisor
"David's Kitchen goes the extra mile plus a dozen miles more. Truly amazing experience from the moment we entered and met David and all the wonderful staff. Being seated at a table with a personalised greeting card and receiving a rose to celebrate your date night are just a few of the things that David's Kitchen do to make your evening truly fantastic and memorable. It's a beautiful place, fancy yet easy going. The staff are meticulously well trained - so professional yet so warm and friendly, just like a big family. And the food is just as wonderful! The veloute of yellow Japanese pumpkin soup was the best we've ever tasted. The duck breast was cooked to perfection and served with the finest mash. Totally recommend the sticky toffee pudding, made with love by David's wife Prom who's the pastry chef in charge of all the desserts. Great wine list at reasonable prices too. Whether you're a foodie or not, this gem is not to be missed. It'll make your time in Chiang Mai that extra bit special."

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Holiday in heaven"

Review by: Tanya B | Source: tripadvison.com
"We have spent a very relaxing and peaceful time at this wonderful hotel. Located along the river and just far enough away from district 1 - Villa Song was the perfect escape from the daily adventures discovering Ho Chi Minh City, Chi Chi tunnels and Mekong delta. Highly recommended. "

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Good way to start our holiday after 11 months of non stop work"

Review by: T K | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed here for 4 nights - after non stop work from January to November this was our first port of call on our Cambodian holiday. For us it was the right choice. Totally calm and relaxing. Staff were brilliant and food overall was great. The only reason we haven't given 5 stars is that we found the b'fast lacking in breadth and diversity. A minor thing overall as we can away refreshed and ready for the rest of our holidays!

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Great stay in a wonderful setting"

Review by: MJanssen1 | Source: Trip Advisor
What a beautiful resort. We had the pleasure of staying here over Khmer New Year and had a wonderful time. The room is very spacious and overlooks the lotus pond. The pool is quite big, considering the size of the resort. The location is about 2km from the city center. As it was Khmer New Year most of the establishment in the center were closed, so we had lunch and dinner at the resort. The daily changing 3-course lunch and 4-course dinner are definitely recommended! The staff is very attentive and friendly and overall I would recommend everyone to stay here when travelling to Battambang.

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"

The Samar: " Something else"

Review by:  Croatia_ZG | Source: Trip Advisor
" Siem Reap itself is something else. You can feel certain peace and tranquility immidiately after you land there. When you check in to hotel Samar Villa & Spa, this feeling of serenity and relaxation comes to it's full power. It is situated just a bit outside of the city centre limits, which is actually great. Tuk tuk is affordable so a 4,5 minute ride to the Siem Reap centre is really not a problem. On a contrary, nice way to cool down after a hot day in Angkor temples, before you step into the Samar swimming pool. Check in procedure is really smooth and relaxing, with nice welcome drinks and towels provided for all. Hotel is not big, so even if they are full, you are almost all the time alone and you feel like you have it all just for yourself. Staff are very nice and provide help but privacy in the same time, which we appreciated highly. Rooms are so nice, in french colonial style, maintained well, decorated with style. Breakfasts were so delicious, there is no buffet, but you can order your daily choice and they will prepare it for you. Very tasty. Some of the comments before were negative (eg maintainance, insect spraying,...). We found them not to be true, and as far as insects are concerned, of course they have to spray, but as the end result you can have nice relaxing evenings without bugs and mosquitos. They do it during the day, when all/most guests are out, exploring temples.... All in all, i really hope me and my family will come back to Cambodia and Siem Reap soon. Then we will stay in Samar again for sure! It is for every recommendation."

Nimmu House: "Un pur moment de bonheur"

Review by: Duchalard | Source: Trip Advisor
A 30-45 mins du centre de Leh, Nimmu House est un petit havre de paix, calme, extrêmement agréable où Manon et toute son équipe souriante et chaleureuse vous accueilleront. Vous serez conquis par la maison principale Ladhaki typique de la région, et les tentes qui sont décorées avec beaucoup de gout. Les petits-déjeuners et dîners sont remarquables, fins et vous goûterez avec plaisir à une cuisine franco-Ladhaki pleine de saveurs. Nous avons confortablement dormi sous tente durant 2 nuits: On sent le souci du détail ainsi que les petites attentions (eau chaude en journée et le soir, grosse couette et petite bouillotte dans le lit la nuit venue, peignoirs en nid d'abeille...). Vous trouverez également quelques produits locaux à acheter sur place pour venir en aide aux familles du village (vente d'huile d'abricot bio, sachet d'abricots secs excellents...) sans oublier le feu de bois la nuit tombée autour duquel vous pourrez discuter balades ou autre en français notamment à moins que vous ne préférez regarder les étoiles dans les hamacs ou transats mis à disposition ! Bref, un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce pur moment de bonheur, de partage et de détente. Nous vous recommandons cette demeure de charme les yeux fermés et ... Longue vie à Nimmu House !

Supanniga Eating Room: "FANTASTIC THAI FOOD"

Review by: llessurtx | Source: Trip Advisor
Found this gem just a few hundred feet from our hotel! From the Mekong cocktails to the deserts and everything in between... AMAZING! Flavors that will knock your socks off! Curry with mussels and pineapple... Crispy fish fried rice... Mushroom salad... Pad Thai with crab! Can't wait to come back!

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent Last Night Out"

Review by: MrsGambino | Source: Trip Advisor
We ate here on our final night in Chiang Mai and what a delicious, memorable experience we had! From the moment you step out of the car you are warmly greeted and treated with first class service. Our waiter, Ton, was very friendly, attentive and really made our night memorable. Even David greeted us at the door, and checked up on us several times during the evening. As for the food, it was delicious. We were looking forward to a break from the standard Thai dishes, and there was a vast Italian/French menu to chose from. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin, and I opted for the pork chop with cherry glaze, and both were excellent, and well cooked. The red wine we chose was outstanding and very reasonably priced. David stated he pays special attention to his wine selections to give his customers great wines, and this was definitely proof of that. Definitely a must go to restaurant to finish off an equally amazing visit in Chiang Mai.
