Babe: "Amazing"
The staff could not do enough for you. The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere and scenery was a delight. Perfect for romantic evenings or meal with friends. Definitely at the top end of the market for luang prabang bit worth every pennyPoring Hot Spring Nature Reserve: "A lot of adventure activity"
"Poring basically has a lot of activities can be done. U can hike in Poring Hot Spring to reach the 2 waterfalls there. Kipungit waterfall can be reach out around 20 minutes from the entrance of the Poring Hot Spring and Lagganan Waterfall can be reach by 2-3 hours. The view and the nature absolutely beautiful. The track consider moderate to difficult to some area but it's really worth it. We can also climbed for a canopy walk in Poring Hot Spring with a very minimal payment and also payment for the camera or gadgets. The canopy walk is a great experience for those who is acrophobic or alto-phobic that want to challenge themselves on the high place. The trail going to the canopy walk quite easy with elevated small steps provided but it's quite challenging for those with knee problems and unfit for it. You need to climb around 500m towards the canopy walk and it took around 20. Consist of 5 canopy walk and each one around 175-200 Meters long and 41-43 Meters in height, which is higher than a 8-floor building. The entrance to Poring Canopy Walkway is about 835 Meters away from park entrance. It is open from 9am to 4pm daily. The walkway is an elastic structure, so it will bounce and swing when we walk on it. Some find this thrilling, while some think it’s scary!!!"Tugu Lombok: "A magical place"
We stayed in Tugu for 5 days, enjoyed our rooms, the decor of the hotel, the amazing decor of the restaurants and bars, the Spa, the beautiful pool, the peace, the wonderful beach, the lovely complimentary tea time with scrumptious patisseries, the service, the smiles. Yes, we loved it and hope to come back again soon!!David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic service"
For my honeymoon I wanted to take my wife to a nice restaurant while in chiang Mai. I was extremely surprised on the amazing service this restaurant offered while we were there. The whole time there was an experience, from their very well enthusiastic staff to David himself catering to our every need. Our table was decorated and had a sign congratulating us on our honeymoon. At the end of our service they gave my wife roses and said it was from me. She was extremely happy that I took her there and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for providing us with A stellar service.Jing’s Residence: "Level of service beyond compare"
We decided to splurge once on our trip to China and this was the place to do it. Imam, the Indonesian general manager, responded promptly to every email, accommodated us with early check in (6 AM) since the room was available (and even upgraded us) which was such a relief after the overnight train from Datong. He and his staff were there to greet us, settle us in and were there at every turn for advice, help and service. We borrowed their (free) bikes and went to the temple out of town and the local market outside the city walls. The restaurant provided delicious breakfasts and dinner. Imam was funny, friendly and made our stay. Highly recommended.Le Calao: "Fabulous dinner"
Everything from food to service was as great as is any 2 star Michelin!! Very creative food, unique minority food offering to discover the sample of local cuisine at its best. Dont be misled by the current rating. The restaurant just reopened and has had yet enough reviews. But for us was the best restaurant in town by a long stretch !Muang La Lodge: "A surreal dream in the midst of rural Laos – and so child-friendly"
"We absolutely LOVED it! Room with river-view was wonderfully serene, the 5-course dinner was thoughtful and delicious (loved their vegetarian versions, so flexible!), and our hearts were warmed by the sincere care and support the whole team - from guard to managers - showed towards (us and) our almost 2-yr-old son. We can whole-heartedly recommend the hotel to other families with small children. Also, we were really astonished by the loving thoughtfulness which was put into every detail of our stay, starting with flowers and a hand-written note for our wedding anniversary and ending with an email to check if our flight really worked out...just amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We´ll come back! Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"Inle Princess Resort: "Juste la perfection"
"Hôtel au charme fou !! Un rêve éveillé ! Cette arrivée moteur coupé avec l'aide d'un pagayeur traditionnel pris au passage à l'approche de l'hôtel ! C juste magique !! Personnel très gentil ! Nous avions un bungalow sur pilotis avec vue sur le lac on recommande fortement !! Nous avons eu la chance d'y passer 4 nuits et le bungalow est du bon côté pour le coucher de soleil donc là pareil de la magie tous les soirs le bonheur !! Hotel à recommander vivement ! Déjà si vous avez la chance de venir au lac inle c déjà top mais dormir au inle princess resort est une grande chance ! Un vrai paradis nous étions enchantés ! Petits déjeuners parfaits comme le reste ! Et là pareil la vue sur le lac en mangeant le matin est un bonheur à l'état pur !! Que de superlatifs !! Les repas le soir sont très bien aussi avec des prix européens ! Nous sommes allés manger un soir en ville mais le taxi coûte 25$ donc au final après nous sommes restés tranquillou à l'hôtel ! Voilà de magnifiques souvenirs allez y !! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"The Governor’s House: "Perfect Bolthole"
"Beautiful colonial boutique hotel. Smiling charming staff, eager to please. Lovely small intimate dining room with excellent food. Would definitely recommend having dinner here. Our trip was for our 40th wedding anniversary, and 'Happy 40th wedding anniversary' was spelt out in flower petals across our bed...a great touch! Bedroom was charming, and bathroom was clean, stylish and well presented. It's easy to hire a ride into city centre and water front to see the sights. A perfect hideaway hotel, good value and highly recommended."Slow Villas and Spa: "Amazing stay in private pool villas"
"The peace in the peaceful Gili Air. We really enjoyed our time in the private pool, the breakfast ""at home"" and the attention to simple details (from the furniture to the kitchen appliances). It was the well-deserved relax after 2 weeks of rumbling around Bali, Lombok and the Gilis. Only remark, it is almost in the center of the island, you have to bike to get to the coast (bikes are avaiable for rent) and at night it is pretty dark."
