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.

Search the reviews, check the image gallery and see for yourself how our clients rate the InsideAsia experience.

The Anantara at Hoi an has poor rooms. They have no aspect. The opposite end to entry is entirely taken up with the WC/bathroom therefore, there is no window (making the room dark) and no balcony. Also, too much noise transmits from the rooms above and to the side.The Chen Sea villa, Phu Quoc, was eclectic to say the least. The restaurant cuisine there was v unexciting and should have been far better.The Metropole, Hanoi was generally a far too cold hotel (the common parts et al) especially the room (the air conditioning thermostat was incorrect) and generally a fine hotel that has lost the ability to focus on the details 9something that is critical for hotels).The Caravlle in Saigon was by far the best hotel and one of the best we have ever stayed at (and we say that as extensive travellers + hotel stayers).

The trip was well organized and we were very pleased with the ultimate itinerary. The guides provided were overall excellent, had a good grasp of the language and were very knowledgeable. The places chosen fit the kind of itinerary we were looking for, yet they were very flexible when we wanted to make changes to it.

I'm sick to death of the standard commercial offering & perception of what the tourist wants from travel agents - this was a very pleasant change - from inception to conclusion.

Generally Enfy was very helpful in her advice. She gave me hte impression that she had been to the places we were discussing which adds immense value & reassurance.

Fabulous locations but the Hotel in Siem Ream didn't forfill its potential. See e-mail to Enfys.

The service was very good, well organised, we had a great holiday and not one single hick up or problem. Thank you. We do understand it becomes more and more difficult to organise a 'different' trip from other organisations. Maybe that could be more elaborated?

Present, pro-active. Thanks for the birthday wishes, delicious meal and the attention we received in the hotel. Also thanks for the immediate follow up and changes in schedule while Halong Bay was hit by a storm.

Every one handpicked! Thank you! Especially Maison Dalabua, Luang Prabang. (Only negative is that we thought Cham Island didn't offer a 'homestay'.)
