Tugu Bali: "Amazing Experience. I love the TUGU!"

"I had a wonderful time during my short stay last week at Tugu Bali. When I return to, I'll certainly be staying again, and this time longer. Tugu Bali a beautiful and authentic hotel with a wonderful staff. I was traveling alone on this trip and I was truly sad my wife didn't get to experience this special hotel with me. From amazing breakfast to even better sunsets, if you're headed to Canggu Bali you want to go here. The experience was truly exceptional and one I will take with me forever... or at least until I return to Tugu."

GLENBURN TEA ESTATE: "Mrs"

"Our adventure was with our two best friends & our four children. Be prepared for a bumpy ride to get to Glenburn but once you make it, it's like your very own piece of Eden! The bedrooms are exquisitely decorated with beautiful Indian material & very comfortable all with electric blankets & glorious white cotton sheets. We stayed in the Planters suite which boasts a huge four-poster bed as well as a single bed for our 3 year old daughter & Glenburn provided a travel cot for our younger daughter. We were all very comfortable & warm during our 3 night stay. The staff are exceptional & will stop at nothing to help make your stay the best it can be. They are charming & polite & were fantastic with our children. We even managed a child free day when we did the 2 hour walk to the river & stayed for a leisurely lunch while the children were looked after by the team. On our return they were all happily exhausted from a day of outside playing & two very content couples had a peaceful night! The food is utterly delicious, with lots of it grown from the beautifully kept Glenburn garden - I definitely put on weight over my 3 night stay! One of Glenburns other charms is being able to enjoy a delectable 3 course dinner in the lovely dining room in the company of the other guests who are from all over the world. It is so interesting sharing travelling stories & hearing others different experiences. All in all I cannot rate Glenburn more highly & hope very much that I will return again. Many thanks to you all at Glenburn for making our stay such a happy one - we all loved it! "

Rachamankha: "Amazing- loved it"

Stayed here for my 30th bday weekend with some friends. Beautiful Hotel, centrally located, amazing pool. Friendly and very helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious and complimentary. I will definitely be coming back here! All my friends loved it too. Ask for Paul the GM- he will make sure you have the best weekend ever and will advice you where to go and what to do and send you to the non tourist trap places.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "nice experience in the 1920s…."

"First time to stay in a hotel with 1920s' French style, the place is elegant and feel like home. So different from Bangkok , feel like a secret garden. Like the desk lamp design in room and wooden floor is nice.."

Maison Polanka: "Natural luxury"

I recently stayed at Maison Polanka, it was such a welcome change and surprise to what I am used to staying; This Resort really is your home away from home; the staff welcome you like family, the intimacy of this place really has such a warm charm that makes you feel immediately at home; The team headed by General Manager Cathy, were exceptional, they were so attentive, friendly and could do enough to make our stay most memorable; I stayed in the Green room, which had an amazing balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens and the perfect retreat to relax, read a book with a gin & Tonic. They made all the arrangements for a private guide to Angkor Wat, where we went for the Sunrise, what a Magical experience, followed by a picnic on the river bank; this truly was one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had. If you are looking for a relaxing, cosy place to stay I highly recommend Maison Polanka.

Tugu Bali: "One of the Most Romantic Hotels in the World"

It is amazing that within 10 days on this property we barely saw no other guests and the only people were part of the army of helping hands that are around every corner. It is a little patch of heaven. In here. We were living in the villa in the middle of the lotus pond, bridges connecting to our house. We wanted to take a batch and suddenly the bathtub was prepared and orchids swimming on the water. Our private swimming pool was maintained throughout the day, and we didn't even recognize how and by whom. It feels that the helping hands are hidden behind every door and will make every of your wishes come true. It is truly amazing.

Satri House: "Such attention to detail"

Fabulous hotel, charming, immaculate throughout. Loved the landscaping, gardens, artwork and superbly comfortable bedrooms. Great base to explore one of SE Asia’s most delightful towns. The restaurant serves excellent food with friendly staff.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "WOW!! THE BEST HOTEL I’VE EVER STAYED IN!"

"Well what can I say, it was such an amazing experience I cried I was that overwhelmed. What beautiful, kind and caring people who actually meant it. Tengo the manager was by far my favourite who was so kind he made me cry at breakfast, I gave him the biggest hug when we left :) We was sadly only here for 3 days :( and had so much booked we didn't spend as much time at the hotel as we would of liked. I say hotel because it's far too lovely to be called glamping :) I had a yoga lesson first thing in the morning which was breath taking over looking the rice fields and a great teacher who corrected you when you were out of place. I also had a massage in my room which was the best massage I've ever had. We ate here twice and both times the food was superb along with their cocktails and wine and such a stunning setting, the owner really does have amazing taste, shabby chic but with immense attention to detail. The waitress's were also lovely and so sweet, would do anything for you. People moan about the location, but it clearly states it's not in the centre and offers a free shuttle bus which is basically a private taxi to 2 drop off points so really no need to moan there. We had a lovely driver one day who took us to the waterfall, holy temple and coffee plantation which I'd highly recommend. We got the shuttle to the monkey forest one day, if you're not scared do try and buy some bananas to feed them, it's a great experience when they jump on your shoulders, amazing creatures. The hotel offered to book the mount batur trip for us which is a MUST but i'd advise booking in the town, it's a quarter of the price and you get to do this with a group which is much more fun, keep in mind you have to be quite fit and there are no loos once you start climbing, but one of the best experiences of my life, incredible and breath taking views. Breakfast was beautifully laid out and they will cook you any eggs you like, omelette, pancakes, scrambled etc, some great healthy options too including bee polen for your cereal. Now if you are scared of creatures this place is not for you and they state that on their site, I loved it and really enjoyed the frogs hopping around and beautiful geckos, but they will be in your bathroom and may even visit at dinner, but hey this is why this is called glamping, you're in with nature and I think it's fantastic but like I said if if you're scared it's not for you. The rooms are out of this world with stunning furniture and outside bathroom and your pool which is shared or your own depending what you book is right outside your room which is great. I honestly can't express to you enough what an unbelievable experience this really was and was a sad moment to leave such a unique and beautiful place, I will defiantly return as Ubud completely stole a piece of my heart!"

Tugu Malang: "great hotel with delicious local food"

"banyak orang bilang ini adalah hotel yang seram tetapi buat saya malah sebaliknya saya sangat nyaman dan menikmati tinggal 3 malam di hotel ini , tepatnya di kamar 208 hotel ini usianya memang sudah cukup tua berada di pusat kota malang , tepatnya di lingkaran dengan sebuah tugu, maka dari itu bernama hotel tugu. kalau tampak dari jalan hotel ini tertutup rimbun nya pohon-pohon besar suasana lobby dan lingkungan hotel banyak sekali barang-barang antik serta arca-arca lama, koleksi photo serta lukisan , yang paling favorit tentu saja lukisan Oei Hui Lan seorang perempuan kaya raya dengan rambut panjang nya saya senang sekedar membaca sejarah barang-barang ini,kebetulan saya memang pecinta sejarah. suasana kamar hotel juga bernuansa antik dan klasik, kamar saya menghadap kolam renang di bagian tengah. selalu sempatkan untuk sarapan atau memesan makanan local, masakannya sangat enak, saya memesan nasi Bu, pisang goreng bertabur gula merah nya lezat dan malam hari di jam 11 karena lapar saya sempat memesan sop buntut yang juga sangat enak. sempatkan juga sore hari ada kue kue kecil serta minuman jahe dan kopi di lantai 2 petugas disini cukup responsive dan terima kasih saya mendapatkan oleh-oleh sebungkus kopi hotel yang sangat baik, dan saya akan kembali menginap disini apabila saya ke malang."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "In the Lap of the Gods"

"My father used to say that the third cup of tea put you in the lap of the gods. Glenburn epitomizes hospitality, beauty, quiet, rest combined with hosts who are enthusiastic and caring, facilities that are beautiful, food that is delicious and views that are incomparable. Our visit was the beginning of three weeks planned to see numbers of our 'bucket list' of hard to reach, but must see places. Glenburn is one of the top. Yes, the road to get there is a Thrill and an adventure but the deep comfort and sheer beauty soon make one not even think about it. The recent strike, which shut down the estate, made the tour of the processing plant quiet and dust free but still very educational. Would that we could return often. Shabash our Dhanyabhad!"
