Pindaya Farm House: "Just Wonderful!"
"We completely endorse all previous comments. Having driven thro a patchwork of colourful fields in rolling hills, we were warmly welcomed. You can hear the silence here. Very comfortable beds, excellent bedding (warm too luckily, it hit freezing at night!) and high class shower and bathroom fittings. Midday saw us sitting on our balcony in the sunshine drinking in the view. The owners can arrange all sorts of trips and treks, but don't miss the weaver in the village up the road. Our only small criticism, which didn't bother us too much, or detract from our enjoyment, is that the sound insulation between us and our neighbour was not very good. It certainly helped us get to know, and make friends with them quickly! We hope it improved trans Atlantic relations"Satri House: "Excellent, charming, classy"
Satri House is a tranquil, beautiful boutique hotel that oozes the charm of a property with a place in history - it has texture and character in a way that many other luxury hotel chain offerings at several times the price tag don't get close to. The staff are very friendly and the food had some real hits, as well. It is the rare breed that hits a sweet spot between price and feel, and so comes highly recommended from this humble traveler. (Protip - go across the street out back and eat at Manda de Laos, a fantastic new restaurant no one seems to know about)Cuisine Wat Damnak: "One of my top choice in Siem Reap"
"It is a must to visit Cuisine Wat Damnak during your stay in Siem Reap! The food was great, a mixture of local and french style. The atmosphere was stunning, we sat on the first floor and enjoyed our meal. We were supposed to sit near the window, enjoying the moonlight and clear sky in Siem Reap. The waiter helped us to change the seats while it suddenly started to rain and a few drops started coming from the roof top. We wanted to visit for our next trip in Siem Reap, sadly find out it's closed in coming April. Maybe the chef need to go for vocation as well."Mume: "Similar to Raw"
"Came here for a meal with overseas friends They don't have set meals, only a la carte. And the menu is short. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 80% of the menu. Almost every dish was spectacular - liver brulee, butter with beef fat, oysters, prawn with cheese, beef, fish etc. Service was friendly and excellent Overall similar to RAW , with slightly less hype and fame Will return"Reverie Siam: "Absolutely charming"
It is difficult to overpraise this hotel. The location, looking up at the mountains behind, is great. My room was spacious, very quiet and showed attention to detail in every respect. It looked out on what seemed to be my own private garden winding into the distance. The free shuttle is not at a fixed schedule, but comes to pick you up when you call. Great service attitude of the staff. The only criticism I could find is that the wifi is a bit weak. Stay here!Nimmu House: "Un vrai paradis"
Très belle découverte que cette magnifique maison ancienne, et ces tentes raffinées au milieu d'un verger. Escale parfaite pour s'acclimater à l'altitude avant un trek, où se détendre après! Toute l'équipe aux petits soins, une cuisine variée et délicieuse. Magique!Cuca: "Fabulous"
Best food and staff . Great interior or watch kitchen working and eat . Very professional went three timesPindaya Farm House: "Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast with extraordinary views of Pindaya"
This is a lovely working farm and small hotel. The owners are delightful people who accommodated our needs, and fed us extremely well. We had heard that this part of the country is called the Tuscany of Myanmar, and it is absolutely true. The hills surround the valley, and the red earth is reminiscent of Italy. The organic produce is spectacular, and the preparation of the food at Thahara Pindaya was simple and delicious. The rooms are comfortable and capacious, while simple, and the views from the decks are splendid whether in the early morning, middle of the day, or evening.Manda De Laos: "Great food fabulous setting"
The Manda de Laos is set among several lotus ponds. Our hotel had made a reservation for us and we had a table positioned to enjoy the sunset. That was our only disappointment of the night as the clouds rolled in at the wrong time. Everything else was perfect. My buffalo was tender as and my wife's duck fabulous. This is not a cheap eat but worth every cent.Jing’s Residence: "Maybe the nicest hotel I have ever been to"
"This is a wonderful hotel in a magically preserved town in China, only 3 hours forty minutes from Beijing by bullet train. A UNESCO site. The hotel is superb. You will be treated as a friend,served wonderful food, welcomed in every way. With only 16 glorious rooms (and a spa), this will be the highlight of any trip. I have been to China a number of times, and have always enjoyed the friendly nature of the people, but this hotel took that to a new level. I think it is the best, and unquestionably the nicest, hotel I have ever stayed in. Ms. Yang Jing makes you feel as though she personally invited you. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the warmth of its staff is amazing. Stay a few days and just enjoy"
