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.

Dylan Westwood

Dylan put together a perfect tailor made trip which incorporated all our chosen trips and activities. Helped us achieve a balance programme of city / countryside and jungle.

Accommodation
★★★★★

All were excellent, particularly the Ancient house Hoi An and the Silverland Charner Hoi chi min city. Forest floor lodge was a bit jaded and a face lift would quickly bring it back to “ luxury “

All was excellent but there was a small inaccuracy in the Trip Info Pack: The Day 4 visit to Pha Tad Ke Botanical Gardens was complete by approximately 1500 (possibly because we had an early start that got us to the Pak Ou Caves before everybody else) and there is no sunset return cruise to Luang Prabang.

We had great service before and throughout our holiday. All arrangements ran like clockwork, I can't believe how smoothly it all went with the various logistics during the holiday - we just had to turn up at the stated time and enjoy the trip! And what fantastic trips we had.

Liam was very efficient and knowledgeable and quick to come back with suggestions and answers to any queries we had whilst putting our itinerary together. He gave us a great varied itinerary with a bit of activity, which was just what we were looking for - and what a memorable holiday he gave us, thank you Liam!

Accommodation

Accommodation choices were great and ideally located for easy walking to explore local attractions or restaurants. All hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and food choices for breakfast were plentiful. 2 of our party had birthdays whilst we were away (in 2 different hotels) and they both received cake, flowers and balloons!

Available, reactive and patient. Very helpful and proactive when I explained that the first day of visit was actually shortened.

Accommodation

Beau Rivage in Vientiane very well located with very nice staff with even pop-up restaurants along the river just in front of the hotel. Perfect when you don't want to walk far for dinner.The Sanctuary was also really pretty, very well located and nice staff. But our room was really humid and kept that humidity smell all the time. The cleaners didn't say Hi or replied to us but the staff in general was really kind.The River resort in Champasak was beautiful but we felt stuck especially for eating. Breakfast was really good over there but the dinner was not that great without being bad and we didn't want to go back there as it is actually pricey for Laos. Also being quite tired we did not want to get out of the bungalow to go up to the restaurant especially by fear of mosquitoes.
