"The only thing I saw at the hotel was a brouchure laying on the reception desk.
Nobody told me anything about the program above.
Well... I didn't ask them either. You can't ask for something you don't know or aren't informed, I guess..."

"The breakfast was very limited, it would be good to expand your menu or improve the quality of the meals, there are some great food ideas on the main street, that it would be worth including."

"thanks for your service and thanks for the suggestion. Merry Lao-Swiss was not on my short list, so we would not have stayed there without your recommendation. And, thanks for the information regarding tours in the area. I hope you can successfully promote the guesthouses in Luang Prabang, since they are a nice niche between hotels and hostels."

"WHL was great. They worked with me, produced a booking with no advance payment that was actually waiting for me when I arrived, and represented the choices on the website thoroughly and, in the case of my hotel, accurately. I appreciated corresponding with Lee, who I began to think I knew personally. Thanks for such excellent service!"
