Satri House: "Excellent Place to end our trip of Laos"

"If you are considering a trip to Luang Prabang do yourself a favour and consider this hotel. We spent 4 nights here at the end of a tour of Laos and would thoroughly recommend this Boutique hotel. The grounds are beautiful, including a swimming pool and the rooms elegant, as one would expect from the former royal residence of Prince Souphanouvong. Our junior suite had a large bedroom, wardrobe area, huge bathroom with bath, separate shower and two washbasins and a separate loo. Plus an outside private balcony which overlooked the lilley pond. In the evening the staff would come in, prepare the nets around our four poster bed and put drinking water by the bed. Staff were all polite and service very good. Our package included breakfast served until 10.30 which was cooked freshly to order and of a good standard. Although a choice it is basically eggs, bread, cereal, yoghurt and tea/coffee, or noodle soup. We stayed over New Year where there was a Gala Dinner, including local dancers, floating candles and a small disco, which was very nice and in keeping with the surroundings. Wifi available free in rooms and ok by pool, but found it dropped off in the front courtyard. There is a spa should this be of interest to you. The hotel is situated about 5 minutes walk along the main road to the start of the Night Market and if you want to go to the river it is a 10 minute walk, all very easy, however there was always a Tuk Tuk or taxi outside the gate should you not wish to walk. There are also Bicycles for guest use if you wish. The flight path goes over the hotel so there are a few planes overhead during the daytime, but not that many or that noisy that it interferes with your enjoyment of the stay."

The Governor’s House: "SUPERBE!"

Nice boutique hotel. I just LUVED the colonial style. Hotel is well situated and you can have a tuk tuk or taxi at the hotel. Hotel has a night guard. Lovely people, helpful, good breakfast (healty) and delicious gin (Hendrikx) tonics :-)

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "This is a Must Go To Experience!"

"This Hotel makes you feel so welcome that you almost feel out of place. The rooms are nothing but absolutely beautiful, and you feel like walking into Indonesian palace! This hotel, which specializes in old style Indonesia has lots of old antiques all over the place, and you can probably walk around the premises for several days just mesmerizing over all the decor, statues and never get tired of it. The staff and service is flawless. Henry, and the rest, were nothing but smiling, funny, and incredible nice. They hotel beach is clean and beautiful, and they have an infinity pool just by the restaurant which gives a very relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. The food is impeccably delicious. We also got a complimentary massage, and boy, do those girls do wonders! Magic hands who were able to find every knot and tight muscle, and you left them feeling good and refreshed for hours! All I can say is that we regretfully only got to have one night at this place, but next time it will be for longer. No doubt! 10/10 would visit again!"

Inle Princess Resort: "Relaxing resort with great food"

"We stayed here for 2 nights in February and could have stayed a bit longer to explore the area more. This a lovely resort and the lake villa we had was really comfortable, clean with lovely bathroom and great outside shower. The food was great with lots of local dishes on the menu, using fresh produce. Service was excellent and the position of the restaurant just perfect. We organised a half day tour of the lake through the resort and this was certainly a highlight of our visit. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Satri House: "Amazing"

Couldn’t have loved my stay at Satri House any more than I did!! The grounds and rooms were stunning. The staff members were some of the best I’ve ever encountered. The scent of lemongrass will forever remind me of this special place. We stayed 5 nights and wish we could have stayed longer.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Paradise"

Turning the bend in the river and approaching the floating river camp is magical. There is nothing but jungle enveloping you, sparkling water and perfect tranquility. The welcome on the pontoon is warm, professional and swift. Your chosen tent is suitably luxurious with good sized beds,spotless linen and a spacious bathroom with an enormous wooden barrel bath tub - witty touch. The food was always delicious, especially the snacks we ordered during the day, and dinner was always a treat (the Cambodian dishes in particular). The service was efficient and gracious, from every member of the team, whether young trainees, or the more mature, experienced members. Activities with guides were easy to arrange and well conducted. But for us the great joy was being able to swim in the dark waters of the sparkling river as the sun sank over the horizon. 4 Rivers is an altogether unique experience and highly recommended.

MesaStila: "The best place for alternative vacation for the whole family"

This is my first resort to stay with my family and it was a great place. The atmosphere is excellent in a very quite and peaceful location. The resort offers a lot of activities for the whole family and the staff is very great. All of my kids really enjoying this place and they always remember of a great memory of Mesastila.

The Cabochon Hotel: "A beautiful hotel with so many lovely features"

We were welcomed before we even entered the hotel, with a concierge helping us take our suitcases out of the taxi. We were then escorted to the library and given coconuts to help us cool down. The thoughtful details didn't end there, and our stay was wonderful. We were in a great part of town and given lots of advice about getting around on the skytrain. The rooftop pool was a welcome way to cool down at the end of each day. Highly recommended!

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "One of our favourite experiences in Sri Lanka"

"We were in Sri Lanka for a month and our overnight safari camp with Leopard Safaris was a real highlight of the whole trip. The accommodation was real luxury camping (glamping) with electricity in the tents including a phone, fan, lighting and torches. The toilet and shower tents were clean, the toilet was a western style one and we had hot water for our evening shower. What a treat! The food was delicious – some of the best we ate in Sri Lanka. The staff were excellent and really looked after us. The whole layout of the camp was great with a nice lounge area with drinks and comfortable seating as well as dining area where you could chat to other guests and the staff. We really enjoyed chatting to Saj who was clearly passionate and deeply knowledgable about his work with animals. The safari itself was great fun. We had bad weather while there but still managed to see an array of wildlife including a leopard. We had two game drives during our stay with a ranger and a driver in the car to help us spot wildlife. Excellent experience all round. Thoroughly recommended. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"
