Manda De Laos: "Very best in luang prabang"

Review by: ddmmBelgium | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is the very best restaurant in Luang Prabang for Lao food. We strongly suggest the signaturen menu. The taste is wonderful, soft , sophisticated dishes. Although iT was 1000000 Kip that is only 70 euro. Do make a reservation. The setting is wonderful, nearly outside on a beautiful pond and very quiet."

Villa Song: "New Years Eve Dinner"

Review by: Liesa29 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had Dinner at Villa Song on New Years Eve. The Building is beautiful and when you arrive and walk down the way to the entrance, it looks very enchanting. Everything was lit up with light chains. The table setting was nice and the waiters were very attentive. The special menu for this evening sounded promising and did not disappoint. If I had to say which dish I liked the most I couldn‘t because every single course was delicious and beautifully arranged. The dinner was accompanied by live music and later by traditional vietnamese music. We didn‘t stay overnight this time but it’s definitely on our list."

Tugu Bali: "Beautiful Old Bali Style"

Review by: Lucia G | Source: Trip Advisor
"I had spend a couple of night's at the Tugu over Nyepi (Balinese day of silence) and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms are stunning, full of little details that make your stay pleasant and also very unique - you feel in Bali, not like this could be any resort around the world. The staff is very sweet and friendly and the location is unbeatable, walking distance from the beach. "

The Island Lodge: "Excellent stay"

Review by: Michel S | Source: Trip Advisor
"When searching for a good hotel for a weekend in-between business meetings in Manila and Hanoi, I found the Island Lodge, conveniently near HCMC where I needed to change flights anyhow on my travel to Hanoi. The hotel arranged for transport and I arrived after a 2hr drive from HCMC airport. The lodge is situated on the ""Unicorn Island"" in the Mekong Delta. Owner/manager Michel and team made sure I received a good welcome and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The lodge is in a quiet area with great, comfortable and well equipped rooms. There is a large swimming pool overlooking the river. The restaurant (also used for breakfast) is designed with great care and offers a very good choice of food, both Vietnamese and French. It is a great place to relax for several days or a (long) weekend. I also enjoyed a boat tour to My Tho, a city about 20 mins away from the hotel. The second day of my stay I took a 4 island boat tour which offered a great impression of the Mekong area and islands. In one word: excellent! Will try to visit again soon! Room Tip: There are also 2 bungalows with 2 bedrooms suitable for families"

Reverie Siam: "An experience to remember"

Review by: SWats47 | Source: tripadvisor.com
Reverie Siam will always be a very special place for my mother and I. As soon as we arrived we were transported, this place is so much more than a hotel. Every detail has been thought about, the staff were always one step ahead of us. A special thank you to Mr Sabastian for making each night so lovely, we thank you for your talent and experience. To Toffy for your humor and care, we looked forward to seeing you every morning. There is no doubt we will be back to visit you again and will recommend this oasis to all the special people in our lives. Thank you!

Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful Hotel"

Review by: nigelwelch | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a great stay here. The best bed we have ever had in a hotel.A lovely tranquil place on the river. Very friendly staff, nice rooms and public areas. Excellent breakfast and dinner. In district 2 about 30 mins from the centre of town. Regular free boat service in to town. A perfect place to stay just a little way from a very busy, noisy and bustling city. Would love to go back "

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Wonderful hotel in Can Tho"

Review by: SteveMLOndon | Source: Trip Advisor
Great hotel with lots of character. We stayed in the Nam Bo Suite which was enormous, comfortable and well equipped. Staff very helpful. We only stayed for one night - but wish it could have been longer.

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "“Maison Wat Kor – Peaceful, beautiful, welcoming”"

Review by: RichWallace | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a small, simple hotel, where the emphasis is on the setting, the lake, the garden, the service rather than in-room facilities. The rooms are quite simple, but perfectly comfortable, with all the facilities you reasonably need, and mostly look over a wonderful little lake with waterlilies and all kinds of flowers. There is a small restaurant serving simple but beautifully prepared food, and offering three set breakfasts - all very well judged. The most notable thing, however, is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - they really make you feel as if you were in your own home. We cannot recommend if highly enough - we really didn't want to leave!

Rachamankha: "Beautiful boutique hotel"

Review by: Randi F | Source: Trip Advisor
An oasis in Chiang Mai. Amid the noisy traffic Rachamankha feels secluded. It’s a small property with personal attention. We accidentally booked two nights separately and then discovered that they were different types of rooms, with the second night being an upgrade from the first. The staff seamlessly moved our luggage to the second room. The thing is, I like both rooms equally. While the second has an absolutely fabulous bed, the first had a much larger shower with enough water pressure to feel like I was being power washed. The second has a sofa but the first had plenty of space to move around and organize our belongings. We stay here again on our last night of the vacation and I don’t know which type of room I booked, nor do I care. I will be pleased regardless.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Paradise"

Review by: Catalise | Source: tripadvisor.com
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.
