Tugu Lombok: "Amazing food!"

Review by: ronsaw | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were staying at a nearby hotel and thought it would be a nice change to eat somewhere different considering we were quite secluded and this place did not disappoint! Amazing food, great service and quick. Even though they were almost fully booked, they managed to get the food out quick while keeping a high standard. It is a bit pricey but it is a resort but it's definitely worth it!"

Maisons Wat Kor: "A Small Piece of Paradise"

Review by: DKJPUS | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Due to a relative which had stayed here last year, we decided to stay at Maisons Wat Kor during our 3 day visit to Battambang. What an excellent choice. It is located on the outskirts of Battambang in a quite neighborhood. If you need/want to go to down town it is only a 5 min. tuk tuk ride, but that said, there is no comparison to the experience at this gem of a place versus the hotels in the busier part of town. The hotel is a couple of years old and comprises only 12 rooms. The property is replete with beautiful plants and shrubs. The garden is incredible. We enjoyed nightly swims in their clean, comfortable pool. The rooms were well furnished. The bed was very firm, but comfortable. The staff was very attentive and helpful. They quickly attended to our every need. They arranged for bike rentals (great idea to see the local neighborhoods) and transportation to Phnom Penh Meals were served in the main house with the dining area being open to the garden area. The food was fresh and good and very nicely presented. This small hotel is intimate and charming, and a perfect place to stay."

Mume: "Inventive cuisine at reasonable prices"

Review by: Gryphon1403 | Source: Trip Advisor
Managed to get a 830pm seating here on a trip to Taipei. It's not a fine dining restaurant where you have no option but to take a degustation menu. Instead you get a pretty decent sized menu to choose a la carte options and almost everything we had was really good. Highly recommend the chicken liver, beef tartare, barley porridge. Though the menu might be different next time you go. It's definitely a bit on the higher price range of food options in Taipei but the same quality of food would cost almost double in Singapore or Hong Kong. So overall it was great value for money.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Wonderful property with a few tiny misses"

Review by: Luke D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Walking into the Blue Mansion really does take your breath away. It's a beautiful property with a sense of serene grandeur that photos don't *quite* do justice. Every courtyard, corridor, staircase and room just looked beautiful. The feeling of tranquility was such a contrast to the hustle and bustle of George Town. There is a new pool that is opening in January apparently. We could see it through a window and it looks AMAZING. The 3 daily tours (don't go into guest wings) gave a great historical background to the property, walking through the building afterwards you could feel the echoes of past inhabitants. Overall Would definitely stay here again, serene, relaxing, historical, photogenic! Room We stayed in a Liang room - Towkay. Liang is the base room type, but it is very big and spacious. Comfortable and appropriately decorated in keeping with the mansion. Snacks and juices were provided daily. The room was really welcoming and relaxing to come back to after a humid day of urban hiking and eating! Some other reviews mentioned mosquitos, we didn't have any problem. We were staying in the quiet wing, away from the hawker centre next door. That side has some decorative pools, so maybe an issue on that side, but we didn't have any problem at all with mosquitos or noise. Breakfast The breakfast is served in the central courtyard and was fine. Good coffee, fruits toasts, DELICIOUS spreads. There is also an a la carte menu of around 6 choices of local and western cooked breakfasts, which were good also. Not spectacular, but good. We didn't eat lunch or dinner there. The staff could sometimes take a looonng time to acknowledge you and the cooked breakfast could take it's time. Coffee was good :) Location Great. Walking distance to everything you need. Close to a hop on hop off bus stop if that takes your fancy. Service Good by Malaysian standards. Calls to the front desk were dealt with promptly, friendly and cheerful at all times. Tiny Misses The wifi in the room was great on the first day and then terrible for the next day or two. Really, really frustrating when using to research things to do and book tours etc. When we asked if it was being fixed, we were offered a pocket wifi to use out and about and in the room. This may have been mentioned in the room booklet, but we didn't notice it until our last day! We arranged an airport transfer, and understand that this is always going to cost way more than a taxi or uber. Pick up was good, in a nice car. Return trip they put us in a taxi that I think was waiting for someone else, the driver put the meter on when we sat down and had no idea that it was paid for by the hotel and had to go back in and check. I don't think they actually booked the return trip. We could have got a taxi ourselves and paid half the price we did. PS. Uber is so super cheap in Penang! Nice Touches Juices, treats most afternoons, and some nice soaps as Christmas presents (we were there on Christmas day), friendly front desk staff. Room Tip: Ask for rooms away from the Red Garden hawker centre. Ask for pocket wifi on arrival!"

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Fantastic! A must to be here"

Review by: Langzimmer | Source: Trip Advisor
This camp is one of my best experience during my journey in Sri Lanka. I can really recommend this place. Everything is very good organized, everyone from staff is very friendly and the food is fantastic! Best food ever in whole Sri Lanka. Price is absolute justified. Safari trip was very nice too, staff is very competent, even on safari are drinks and snacks organised!

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "A little slice of heaven in bustling Bangkok"

A small hotel providing 2 and 3 bedroom self catering apartments, appropriate for small families. Very friendly staff and very good service. Located close to shopping facilities and the BTS train services.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Rice paddy paradise"

Review by: anysroad | Source: Trip Advisor
"I had a wonderful 2 night stay a Sandat and it was a welcome change after the hustle of Ubud. I love what they have done and how the concept of the place works, especially the green philosophy. My tent was super secluded and really breeze, something I was scared of with no aircon. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful at all times and the shuttles to go to and from town easily organized. My one and only tiny remark is that the food good be better. They have a great selection of cocktails and local wines and the food is okay. I just think don't think it is up to par with the rest of the experience which is truly magical."
