Maison Polanka: "One of the best hotels we have stayed in"

This small hotel is almost perfect. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, the pool is spotless and inviting, and the dining area/bar beside the pool is delightful. The staff are professional but also very friendly, a sign of a very well managed hotel. The free use of their vintage bikes is a nice touch.

Mie Cafe: "Amazing"

This hidden gem is amazing. Ribs you can cut with a fork and the coconut ginger ice cream are must haves.

Sukoon Houseboat: "Unforgettable Memories"

Its just chance to find this House boat in dul lake. It was amazing experience to stay there. This house boat is not like other traditional house boats in dul lake. It is like a five star hotel. You experienced a class on this house boat. Room size and interior is very good. Bathroom is USP of the room. Food quality and verity was very good. The chef was master in his profession. It has a Roof top restaurant where you can spend whole day to viewing beauty of dul lake and mountains. Staff was well trained and very much polite. Services was level of a five star hotel. They have water treatment facility so you don't bother about hygiene. They have a suite Room also.If you want to relax this can be one of best option in srinagar.

Inle Princess Resort: "Beautiful, calm location"

We stayed in lake side room for 2 nights. As everyone has said it is a lovely hotel. The rooms are spacious and well maintained, the food good with local dishes, the swimming pool an unexpected bonus, kind staff. It is an enjoyable boat journey to teach the resort, being off the main water ways means it is very quiet. Very highly recommended.

Inle Princess Resort: "Unique Location, Fantastic Accommodation and Service"

My wife and I spent two most enjoyable nights at this resort. Starting from the arrival by boat, and the gorgeous location, we were thoroughly impressed with what they had to offer. Accommodation is in individual chalet/cottage type units, that are very luxurious. Ours faced the Lotus Pond and the Lake. No motorized vehicles, by road or by water, are allowed in the area of the property where the guests are accommodated. The dining room faces the lake, and we were fortunate to be able to enjoy our meals on the patio. This is a resort not to be missed if one is visiting Inle Lake. Thank you all for making our stay in Myanmar most memorable. Wish our stay was longer!

Maison Polanka: "Wow….Spectacular"

We stayed at the Maison Polanka with 2 families recently. The owner Kathy and her staff were outstanding. This place is basically 1 acre property with a 4 bedroom homestead on it as well as a 1 bedroom homestead. We were fortunate enough to have the run of the place for 4 nights which meant we had our own staff whenever we need them. Lovely place to stay, really enjoyed the tranquility of the property.

Satri House: "Wonderful hotel"

Satri House is simply a very special place. My husband and I stayed there three nights right before Christmas and couldn't have been happier. The hotel staff is very welcoming and warm; the property is gorgeous with amazing antique furniture, two pools and a very special design. The food in the restaurant is also excellent served in a patio like setting overlooking lush vegetation. Of all hotels we stayed at during our two week trip, Satri House was our favorite. Thank you!!

Misool Eco Resort: "Wow"

This place was amazing. It's truly hard to describe the beauty of this place, and what they went through to make it available to the (discerning) masses. Everything was perfect, from the check-in, to the food, to the rooms, to the scuba-diving / snorkeling. I couldn't dive due to a lung issue, but trust me, I saw and experienced just as much. Even got to see some manta rays at the top of an underwater mountain. Calvin, who headed up the diving / snorkeling trips / PADI courses, and has a marine biology degree... very helpful and great instructor, with the added benefit that he's an actual scientist. Even gave a preso on his work with the manta rays. And I'd like to give a shout-out to my snorkeling guide (Nelson i.e. "Son") as well. He's a local, and used to live on a pearl farm... he dove down seemingly without effort 20-30 feet deep to search out cool things to see. I'm not even sure the guy needs scuba equipment. And the reefs in their 1000 km square "no take" zone were in amazing health (which is surprising given all the press about the decline of reefs in other parts of the world right now) - we saw tons of stuff. My favorites were the nudibranches - I saw about 5 or 6 kinds. We also saw a herd of "bumpheads" that apparently National Geographic was trying to get pics / videos of a few weeks before but couldn't find. The amount of biodiversity is truly astounding... the fish stocks and schools were absolutely amazing. Corals too. I also liked the "eco" theme of the resort - they really take it to heart. Our room had air conditioning, but it was only within the mosquito netting above our bed - I thought this was a clever and very energy efficient way to do it, because you really only want it at night when you're sleeping anyway. Also, they're trying to figure out how to do solar, just working through the details right now. One piece of advice: Just bring adequate cash to tip with (preferably IDR, but they can exchange USD or Australian $$ pretty easily) - and not because they expect tips (they don't) but you'll want to tip everyone when you're done, just because of how well they treat you.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Great thai food in an amazing retro location"

"The restaurant is settled in a white house - hotel at the end of Soi 41. All menu is based on small portions (non as small as tapas but that allow you to try more dishes from menu, based on the isaan northern cuisine. Fish was very good and tender, we had a seabass and a squid, plus papaya salad (typical isaan) was amazing as well. beyond that we had some chicken in coconut milk, grilled chicken and vegetables. Prices are also fair enough to allow you to take more than one or two dishes per person. (160-400 thb depending on the ingredients)"

Satri House: "Excellent 4 day stay"

Lovely 4 day stay here in May 2017. We had a lovely twin rooms, which was very well maintained. The staff was very good and very good at organising tours, restaurants etc. Breakfast was very nice, as was dinner. Excellent spa as well.
