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.

Our Indo China experience was exceptional. From planning to delivery we cannot fault the service we received.

Charlotte's attention to detail is praiseworthy. She organised a packed itinerary covering the three countries which suited us all.

Accommodation
★★★★★

All accommodation was exceptional. Superb accommodation, excellent food and very attentive service wherever we stayed.The only adverse comment we feel we should make concerns the Sofitel Plaza, Saigon. After driving back from the Mekong Delta we were all looking forward to spending some time relaxing around the roof top pool before our evening Vespa tour. Disappointingly, the pool being used for a 'private party' which, to us, was incomprehensible. Surely, as part of the service being offered by this hotel the pool should be open to all of its residents at all times. The response from the hotel management to our resulting complaint also left a lot to be desired.

Had a great balcony room in Kalaw and staff at the hotel fetched local food for breakfast (Shan noodles) at the request of our guide. Loved the Bagan King hotel and Thazin Garden.

Vicky was excellent throughout as in the case of our Japan trip we particularly appreciated the courtesy contact in Siem Reap.

Accommodation
★★★★

The hotel in Battambang, La Villa Battambang, was marvellous. We especially like the eccentric manageress, she was wonderful. We were also particularly pleased with the hotel in Siem Reap because it was close enough to the the centre that we could walk in at night and eat in the Red Piano (recommended by Vicky).

Very friendly and helpful.... We did change things quite a few times during the planning of the trip - getting to the Death Railway, changing our booking at the Golden Rock,adding another night at Hpa An, adding the giant reclining buddah near Mawlymayne etc etc and all these requests were handled brilliantly. We realise we must have been frustrating changing stuff a lot but it was all processed quickly and in a very friendly way. Many thanks - appreciate your help with all our requests. It was worth it as every change worked out brilliantly.

Accommodation
★★★★★

We were generally pleasantly surprised with the standard of accomodation - better than we expected. None would change Sterling and on a couple of occasions when Credit Card machine didnt work we were almost a bit stuck.... The Hotel Bagan King publish pictures of all their guests on their Facebook page which is possibly a bit odd - but it was a great hotel nevertheless.

We felt that Almanity Hoi An was not as good as other hotels on the trip. It lacxked a certain comfort and the hard sell to use their recommended partners was unwelcome.

Really great, loved Charlotte's enthusiasm, sound advice and solid recommendations tailored to my areas of interest

Accommodation
★★★★

As per my note above, I was a little disappointed by the replacement / changed accommodation in Luang Prabang due predominantly a lack of a swimming pool and not great bar / restaurant. By contrast the Champasak River Resort was exceptional and I loved it. Siem Reap Wat Bo Residence was a gem of a find.
