THE ISLAND LODGE: "Excellent Hotel perfect for relaxation"

Review by: KaymanCH | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This gem is located within Mekong delta and offers piece and quiet, beautiful ambiente and very helpful and friendly staff. There are a few rooms which ensure no mass tourism. Slow food and tranquility, perfect hospitality and harmony are the keywords. We stayed there for 3 days and enjoyed a pre-paradise experience. Especially the spa with different types of massages is a soul-supporting experience. The rooms are clean with the option to use an airconditioning. The bathroom and shower is clean and showing lots of litte details which sum up to a very special hotel. At every step one finds another detail which makes this hotel a personal little home. We felt at home instantly and will return as soon as possible. For our little lady of the age of 9 it was a paradise. The pool is clean (which we did not spot everywhere in even more expensive hotels in South East Asia). The Coconut Smoothie became her favourite drink. :-) We enjoyed boat cruises and a visit at the next town's pagoda with impressive statues. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful - even by Asian standards. The transfer from HCMC to the hotel gave us a good possibilty for a first insight to people and country. We recommend this gem for everyone who seeks piece and quiet in a very special atmosphere within a safe and clean environment. We are looking forward to our next stay at the Island Lodge. "

Satri House: "Ein Ort zum Verweilen"

Review by: Ulrich H | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ein wunderschöner Ort, den wir vier Tage lang genossen haben. Das war nach der langen Reise der ideale Einstieg für Laos. Von hier aus kann man die alte Königsstadt Luang Prabang erkunden - und kehrt gerne wieder zurück. Das historische Haus mit seinem zauberhaften Garten, den Pools, der Bar und dem sehr guten Restaurant ist nach den Besichtigungstagen eine Oase der Entspannung. Sehr freundlicher Service. Alles sehr geschmackvoll, und wir haben den Fernseher nicht vermisst. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

THE ISLAND LODGE: "A great and cosy place to recharge ones batteries"

Review by: kma910 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We had a short stay in The Island Lodge from 8th to 10th of April - I can say, a great finding! It made us extend our stay right after the first three hours on Michels premises. For us, since we were looking for a quiet place away from the busy days in Ho Chi Minh City, it was an excellent option. It was a great experience in all aspect. You will find a very idyllic small road leading to the west-end of Thoi Son island followed by a small path guiding to the entrance of the resort. A beautiful, silent place, which was obviously built and choosen by someone paying a lot of attention to details, will appear. Rooms are very clean and harmonic, the staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive, food and service met our expectations. Overall a very cosy atmosphere - a place to recharge ones batteries :) "

Satri House: "Oasis in Luang Prabang"

Review by: val1053 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Satri House was a welcome relief from airplanes, heat, crowds and all the travails of international travel. Greeted by friendly and efficient staff, stunning and immaculate grounds, the sweet smell of lemongrass and air conditioned room, I felt ready to relax before heading out for 5 days of discovery in Luang Prabang area. If you have time, enjoy a massage in the spa and be sure to look around at all the grounds...a treat for body, mind and spirit. The staff does all they can to make your stay very pleasant! Breakfast was good but a little more variation would have been nice since we were there for several days. This hotel was selected for us by our travel company, so I have not looked into details of price, value, etc. I can only say we did not select the very top hotel package and we're not disappointed at Satri House! Room Tip: I would suggest an upper level room, as the wooden floors seem to be noisey."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "An Amazing Experience"

Review by: Dipa2016 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The most ideal location for relaxation . Situated in a valley surrounded by pristine forests , this tea estate is a jewel . The hotel has eight beautifully done rooms and to find an accommodation during the peak season is difficult . Visiting this place I realised why it is so popular among international tourists as well as domestic travellers . You can relax here with a book or take trekking trips according to your preference . The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. Several cups of the best of teas can be tasted here throughout the day , the iced tea being my favourite . The tea factory tour is a must do. The Kanchenjunga , seen from the estate,with it's snow capped peaks , bathed by the morning sunlight was indeed a treat for the eyes"

Highly recommend , well worth a visit. Deserves its reputation as best restaurant in Bali.
