Customer reviews and what they say

The most important thing we can do to improve our service is listen to what our customers have to say, which is why you can now read their comments unedited on our website.

Upon returning from Southeast Asia all our clients are sent a review form and here you can see what they are saying about their experience of travel to the region and of the service we offered both during the trip planning process and in the build-up to the trip.

Sam was brilliant throughout the process - even when things didn't quite go to plan (airlines suddenly changing their booking deadlines is not great but she handled this well with us!).

From the initial contact to the actual holiday itself, the service provided was impeccable. Everything was as described and as a family with two young children - we had the most incredible tailor-made holiday.

Liam Koehler

Liam provided an outstanding service from the outset - he took the time to listen to what we wanted from our holiday and provided a couple of options, with very honest views on what we could expect. Based on his experiences, we were able to plan an absolutely incredible holiday in Borneo, travelling to different parts of the country, and really experiencing life in Borneo.

Accommodation
★★★★

Pullman Kuching - Excellent location and amazing views. The rooms could have been cleaned slightly better - but the hotel addressed any issued really well.
Nanga Sumpa Lodge - Incredible, basic facilities but exactly as described.
Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa - Beautiful resort in the most stunning setting.
Shangri-La Rasa Ria - Amazing hotel with exceptional facilities. Staff were lovely but the service didn't always feel '5' star e.g. had to queue for the buffet dinner to be seated. Overall really nice.

The trip is great overall, but with just a few misunderstanding. 1st the driver for pick up made a mistake on getting to the wrong terminal. 2nd, the hotel at check in did not understand I got a welcome package and wifi devices, but they apologized when I spoke to the emergency number. The tour guide that was arranged was great and prompt. The guide gave interesting stories and animated. They made up for the trouble by giving me a free lunch. The train tickets were detailed. 20K won of t money card is great overall, but at least 25K could be better. The food BBQ tour is great. The hotel location is awesome near the subway. If I were to do it again, I would choose inside asia. A big thanks to grant for putting together this trip.

Liam Koehler

Liam assisted us to plan a truly memorable trip. His knowledge and his understanding of our interests were evident in every aspect of our travels, from carefully chosen accommodation to suggested places to visit (and avoid) and how long to spend there including the best time of day and the best months to avoid crowds.

Accommodation

We particularly enjoyed our time staying at Avana Retreat in Mai Chau and Phum Baitang in Siem Reap - both were peaceful locations that were working closely with local communities and taking considerable care with the surrounding environment.

I think the choice of hotel in Tokyo could be improved (the breakfast was by far the poorest of the trip). I also think the L7 in Gangnam Seoul was not up to the standard of the Ryse Seoul

Our trip went off without any problems. From the drivers to all the people we interacted with, everyone was professional and always on time. We had a great family vacation due to your detailed planning and some outstanding guides. Thank you.

Excellent communication, available, and always listened to our wants/desires.

Accommodation
★★★★

The PJ Hotel in Seoul was a disappointing stay. As I mentioned to Karin directly, it is quite run down and the rooms were barely clean and the ac didn't work properly. After asking for maintenance, they still couldn't fix the problem. It was quite warm during our nights there and we felt like it wasn't up to the standards most people traveling on this trip would accept. Compared to the The Gate Hotel stays in Japan, there is a huge difference in the quality. I know PJ is centrally located, but surely there are other nicer hotels centrally located, even if more expensive. I think most of your customers would expect a higher class of hotel service.

The experience with Inside Asia was perfectly planned and executed. We had multiple stops in Vietnam and Cambodia and each handover from one city to another was seamless as was the transportation, hotels and tours.

Liam understood exactly what we wanted to get out of our trip and provided suggestions that we would never have thought of, which turned into highlights. He also suggested that we go in May instead of January, when it would be quieter and we benefitted from good weather.
