Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Extremely Delicious Dishes"
I love tasting menus, and Le Du’s really stood out for me. While there are usually a dish or two that are just “good”, Le Du’s tasting was consistent throughout; excellent. There were a number of dishes I wished would not end! I loved Le Du, and hope to be back, and yes, it’s a little difficult to find.4 rivers: "A hidden gem"
We only stayed two nights at 4 Rivers Lodge but it was totally worth it and stunning! We have been very much happy with this experience! it's the best way to relax and be in contact with the nature: no wifi, phone, no TV, no computer. We spent our days cooling off in the Tatai River, phishing, kayaking, having a massage, discovering the little island in front of the resort and trying out the excellent fresh food available at the restaurant. All the tents are very private and comfortable. The shower is a gem! It was simply an amazing experience that we'll never forget! we are happy we chose this place for our honeymoon trip! so peaceful and immersed in the wildest nature of Cambodia! Also, the staff is very friendly and nice! An amazing experience!The Apsara Rive Droite: "ideal location, lovely rooms"
"One of the first truly boutique hotels to open on the middle of the old UNESCO quarter of Luang Prabang, it is still going very strong. I was welcomed by a nice basket of fruit. Staff was genuinely happy to see me again. Rooms are very large and decorated in a very Indochine style with a twist of modernity. A lovely place to relax and to use as a base to explore this charming small town. Breakfast is included and is lovely. A choice of Asian or Western with fresh fruit and orange juice. Has a very good restaurant, one of the best in Luang Prabang. Prices are very easonable. Stayed April 2017, traveled solo"Jing’s Residence: "Delightful hidden gem"
A very special place, very comfortable, beautiful courtyards and stylish rooms and lots of little extras. We ate in both nights and food was very good. The staff were very welcoming and the breakfast was varied and good. There was afternoon tea provided. A very good experience.Heritage Suites Hotel: "Fantastic hotel with wonder staff!"
"We cannot praise this beautiful hotel enough. We were there celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the hotel gave us a lovely bottle of prosecco and flowers. They also upgraded us to a lovely bungalow, which was amazing. The staff were so attentive always opening doors for us, bringing out an umbrella when we get out the taxi in the rain; it made us feel very spoilt. It was a little way from the main area for eating in the evenings, around Pub Street, but a tuk tuk was very cheap at only $3. If you want to stay in a boutique hotel with the very personal touch then this is a definite."Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Make reservations way in advance"
I was warned to make reservations in advance (which I did) as the restaurant is small. Boy was I glad. It is a wonderful set menu in an intimate restaurant where the chef actually comes to meet the diners. My 10 y/o daughter did not finish her last dish (but of course she had the dessert) and they charged us only for 5 dishes for her instead of the set 6 dish menu. So very nice of them. Each dish was well presented and was delicious. A must try when in Siem Reap.Poring Hot Spring Nature Reserve: "Gorgeous Lodge"
"We stayed in the River lodge. OK, so the small water tank doesn't enable you to have a deep bath, but that didn't bother us. 2 great bedrooms, 2 enormous bathrooms, 3 sitting decks, 2 separate sittings areas, good air con and cable TV. Right next to river and entrance to the nature reserve. No internet but there is some at the resort restaurant (although not fast). Better wifi at Round Inn cafe near the car park (2min walk away). Staff were very professional and friendly. Additional service offered to see Rafflesia flower if one is blooming nearby. A guide drove us less than 10 mins to see one on a local fruit farm. RM30 each is a bit steep but it's a rare opportunity and hopefully it encourages the locals to nurture these amazing flowers."Maison Polanka: "Excellent Boutique Hotel in Siem Reap"
Maison Polanka is an excellent choice for a small boutique hotel in Siem Reap. The very spacious grounds provide an oasis from the bustling town outside the walled compound. We stayed for 3 nights. I chose the wonderful Khmer House, which is beautifully decorated and provides a very unique experience, which is well worth the extra expense. It has a large bedroom and living area, a large balcony with chairs, a spacious bathroom and closet, and a tiled sitting area below the house. Our son had one of the rooms in the main house, and was upgraded on arrival. We had breakfasts here and one lunch and one dinner. The food is excellent. The pool is very nice. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and helped with restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend Maison Polanka to anyone staying in Siem Reap.Villa Song: "Wonderful Christmas break"
We stayed 4 days at the end of December at the hotel. It was a very pleasant experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the free boat shuttle to district one. A nice way to avoid traffic and a great view on the skyline.Nimmu House: "Une pause à Nimmu House au retour d’un trek au Zanskar"
"Faire une halte de 2 nuits à Nimmu House au retour d'un trek est un vrai moment de douceur. Non seulement vous profitez d'un des plus beaux panoramas de la vallée de l'Indus, mais vous entrez là dans un petit joyau de l'architecture ladakhie niché au creux d'un fabuleux jardin. Un personnel adorable, attentif, aux petits soins pour vous-qu'il s'agisse de vous concocter d'excellents repas aux senteurs locales ou de vous soulager avec une préparation ""maison"" aux huiles essentielles, tout y est pour que vous vous sentiez chez vous dans ce cadre magique et si l'aventure ne nous avait pas appelés plus loin, sûr que nous y serions encore! Un hébergement de charme un peu hors du temps à ne surtout pas manquer si vous passez par là-bas."
