Manda De Laos: "My favourite address in Luang Prabang"

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.

Rahai’i Pangun: "Great crew"

"This was my first time traveling alone, and I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived for this portion. But I absolutely loved it. The crew was great, the guide Tri was fantastic, and the trip itself was so relaxing and interesting. We saw many orangutans in the forest (including a baby!), visited Dayak villages, and had delicious meals three times a day- and that's coming from someone who considers herself a picky eater. I absolutely recommend this tour group (and especially the boat and staff I had). I'd also suggest you go while you can- you could see gold prospecting in quite a few spots. In order for them to get at the gold, they need to burn the forest down. It also leaves large mounds of white sand along the river. It's very sad, but perhaps with an up-tick in tourism, there will be a greater push for putting a stop to this? I'd like to add while it was disturbing to see, it did not make the trip less enjoyable. Rather, it just makes me want to get more involved."

Satri House: "Home away from home"

"Close to the most gathering places, quite, peaceful with a warmth & welcome staff members. The design made us feel like home each building has traditional style with beautiful decorations in details. The services are personalize special care not much not less with the touch of Laos. We will absolutely return and spend longer days."

David’s Kitchen: "A Highlight of Our Trip"

Food: Delicious! I ordered an Asian dish (seared tuna with lemon grass) and my friend ordered a European dish (braised meat on potato mash with heavenly gravy), and both were SCRUMMY! We also got the flight of soups -- YUM! The squash soup and the pea soup were especially bright and flavorful -- I say this as someone who usually won't order either on a normal night. The lobster bisque was full of lobster (which is oddly not a given in my experience). David is an expat Brit and a charmer. Lovely man! He stopped by our table throughout the night, extolling stories about the family recipes behind his signature dishes, as well as his own mind-blowing travel experiences. The reservation page is a breeze, and best of all it asks if you'd like transportation to take you to and from the restaurant, which in a click brought a car to our hotel lobby at reservation time and made travel to the restaurant effortless. (We all agree the travel option on the reservation page is brilliant.) We will be back!!

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "A treasure island on the lake"

"My aunt and I stayed there for one night. Our lovely room is clean, well-decorated and luxurious. The staffs, students from the vocational training center, are very friendly, helpful and they make sure that we are having the best stay. The bed is very comfortable. Lodging asides, breakfast was very delicious. Many thanks to our host Ko Min and staffs for the hospitality. I would definitely recommend it to others. Stayed March 2016"

Rachamankha: "Spectacular"

"The four of us decided to splurge a bit on our last four nights on our Southeast Asia tour and reserved a suite at the hotel. Our suite was rooms 24/25 right off the entrance. The suite was spectacular with it's own garden, a very large living area and small kitchen and two large bedrooms with each its own bathroom. We loved the space and it was decorated beautifully. The tub/shower stalls were a bit outdated but everything was clean and worked perfectly although in the other room our friends said the water pressure was poor and they did not have hot water one day. The rooms were incredibly quiet despite the fact that one of the bedrooms had windows facing the front and the parking area. The service was incredible and the staff amazingly helpful even from the pick up at the airport. Lots of helpful info and help in navigating some issues that arose during our stay. The grounds are impeccable and there are lots of little surprises for guests around the property (candies, brandy in the library, etc.) Breakfast was incredible with a great selection of food. The service during breakfast broke down a bit we found due either to language barrier or the fact that multiple people were serving all the tables and therefore sometimes you needed to remind a waiter that you had asked for something or because they didn't write down your order. Nothing serious and is something you encounter all over Asia. The waiters were all very charming and sometimes shy about their English but their English is far superior to my Thai so it all worked! We also ate dinner in their restaurant one evening and it was spectacular and a beautiful setting. There was a Thai instrumentalist that played and with the food all made for a memorable experience. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely hotel or stay again in the future. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

Nimmu House: "Amazing tents! Fresh air and peace"

"This is a great place, an hour or so away from the bustle of Ladakh. The food is fantastic, tents are really comfortable and location is superb. The team were really helpful and well informed. They booked rafting on the Zanskar (awesome for the family including robust young teens) and arranged for a couple of days rent of Royal Enfield's (affordable and in surprisingly good condition!) There is something rather nice about picking apricots and apples straight off the tree and having a few beers around the fire in the evening with other guests. This is also a great location for general Ladakh touring. Ongoing projects to generate more rooms in this wonderfully old building will be well handled by Alex, who clearly knows his stuff and genuinely cares about sympathetic preservation."

Satri House: "Like stepping back in time"

"The whole time we were staying in this hotel we couldn't help but feel we had stepped back into a past colonial era. This place is an original residence of a wealthy family and it has been so well preserved and maintained. The rooms are enormous with separate bath and toilet areas. The furnishings are original antiques mixed with local fabrics and craft wares. Totally divine. The breakfast is served in the quaint restaurant overlooking the Lotus pond and there is a very beautiful spa on site. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the location is brilliant. We were totally impressed with our stay here and when we return to LP we will certainly make this our number one choice for accommodation. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"
