Satri House: "One of the best"

Review by: 2fromaus | Source: Trip Advisor
We really loved this hotel and definitely one of the best we've ever visited. From the staff, to the rooms, to the gardens, to the food, to the amenities... They were really polished in every aspect. We can easily imagine spending a relaxing month pottering about the town and surrounds of Luang Prabang and staying at Satri House. There is a lap pool and a main pool which is a very calm and cool place to enjoy a book and a snack or a beer. The room was a suite (4.2.1) which was beautifully appointed and very spacious overlooking the main pool. There was plenty of storage, a sitting area, a large bathroom, desk, etc and good wifi. We wondered if it might be a throwback to 1920s Indochine.

Reverie Siam: "Beautiful hotel"

Review by: Mayasolo | Source: Trip Advisor
The hotel was stuning and the room with the stand alone bath tab (river view) was amazing! The gardens, the lobby and of course the rooms were just gorgeous and very relaxing! The only minus was the restaurant- although it had a great tasety food it was all tiny so if you are hungry it's problematic to eat there. However breakfast was nice and the staff brought us more bread, and juice when needed. The staff were also very kind, and overall I would recommand this beautiful place to friends! P.s- it is 5 min from the walking streets of Pai but the hotel runs a shuttle that will take you whenever you want until 11pm, which was great for us!

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Surpasses all expectations"

Review by: leeds29 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at the Glenburn after a week travelling around Sikkim and it was the perfect end to the trip. We received a warm welcome on arrival from Faye and Will the management team and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. We were offered refreshments throughout the day (fantastic teas) and found everyone very friendly. The rooms are lovely, each bedroom is different and in a colonial style and the food was excellent with a different theme each evening which we loved. Our stay was relaxing - we enjoyed the walk down to the river where we had lunch, exploring the tea plantation and reading on the veranda admiring the views. Just what we were looking for in a tea plantation. Thanks to Faye and Will and their team for making our visit so memorable It was a few days of luxury that I would highly recommend."

Supanniga Cruise: "Unforgettable experience"

Review by: Sally9763 | Source: Trip Advisor
As a frequent single traveller to Bangkok, and a hard customer to please I highly recommend this dinner cruise , not a fan of the large cruise boats I decided to try the. dinner experience and I am so glad I did. Service was exceptional and the food was amazing, 7 courses consisting of small portions, super to try different dishes. The manger was superb, nothing was to much trouble a credit to the company. The views from the boat were lovely and even when it started to rain kind of added to an already lovely atmosphere.

Muang La Lodge: "Its a long way from anything but so worth the trip"

Review by: Captain B | Source: Trip Advisor
"We booked this hotel some time ago, aided in no small part by a series of excellent reviews on this site. It was then with some consternation, that we read a couple of rather damning verdicts that were just posted prior to our arrival. Had we made a big mistake? Had something gone wrong? Reading these reviews a second time, one got the impression that one in particular was blaming the hotel for just about everything that was occurring in the world, so we carried on regardless. We are glad we did because this is a wonderful hotel, in great settings, much attention to detail, superb food, and lovely staff. I very rarely give out 5* on a review, saving it for a truly lovely experience, and this was one of them (...). The hotel itself is small, only 10 rooms, set in beautiful grounds next to a fast moving , but shallow river, the sound of which makes a lovely background and soothing effect. It is also situated next to a natural hot spring which they have used for 2 hotel use only hot tubs and another which is shared with the locals. We witnessed Monks and local children turning up in the evening for a soak which was wonderful to see. The hotel is very focused on using as many local provisions as possible, which again we liked, as it shows commitment to the environment. They bottle water from the river for drinking use too. (...) The staff are super friendly, and of course only a few speak English, but there was never a problem because of that. As for niggles and improvements , of course there are always some, which I have suggested to the management so as not to be misunderstood by readers as complaints, because I have none really. I only wish I was rich enough to afford a helicopter for the trip here, because I would visit often. Its a beautiful experience and I cannot recommend it enough."

Reverie Siam Pai: "Best of the best"

Review by: TannatTan27 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have been to Reverie Siam for dinner every time I went to Pai. And, this time I decided to stay overnight with my family in 2 rooms. That is NOT disappointing at all. I love the place, staff, service and food. My father is in wheelchair and it is convenient for us to get to the room and restaurant. Even there is step at entrance to the restaurant, staff always offered help to carry our wheelchair when my father went up/down the steps. Staff were friendly and genuine. Service is 5-star. The guestroom is spacious, nice decorated and comfortable. There are plenty of rooms for you to put your stuff. The bathroom is spacious, they have shower room and bath tub in separate areas. Water pressure of shower is very good and temperature is stable. They don't have iron for you to borrow. But they offer to iron your cloth for free and it will be done in 5 minutes and delivered to your room. We had dinner at Silhouette restaurant that was lovely as always. The gentleman who runs the restaurant greeted us and recommended food & drinks. Food was delicious and tasty. After dinner, we went to the walking street by hotel's shuttle tuk tuk that was very convenient and when returned, driver came to pick us up on time as per their schedule. I love everything at this hotel and will definitely return for longer stay really soon."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "THE BEST"

Review by: Andrew G | Source: Trip Advisor
"Just returned from my sixth visit and again it was just perfect. This probably explains why 10 out of 15 bungalows were occupied by repeat visitors. The surroundings are beautiful. The rooms are well appointed. The housekeeping is first class. The Spa experience is focussed on you. The complimentary yoga is a great start to any day. The food is memorable. But it's the people who really make it just perfect. They are friendly, caring, pleased that you have chosen to visit them and totally focused on making everyone's visit perfect. Thank you."
