Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "An unforgettable experience"

A truly unique and distinctive experience at Blackitch Artisan Kitchen. Chef Black's philosophy around food and ethics comes through in all his dishes - local, creative, artisan and balanced. His food is innovative, experimental and he has a real flair for flavours. Chef Black explained each of his dishes as they came to the table and the processes - the majority of the food is organic and handmade. I was fascinated to hear about the fermentation processes and work he'd gone through to create the dishes - an unforgettable evening !

Goldhen Budha: "Our happy place"

"We have spent 6 days at Golden Buddha in December 2015 and it has been one of the best Holiday experiences so far. The location is fantastic, the staff and the management are very friendly and the whole atmosphere is very familiar and relaxed. Food, drinks and services (e.g. Thai Massage) are great and our Baan was also stunning. Hopefully we can come back one day."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "A real highlight of our trip"

"What they are doing at the Inle Heritage should be used as an example for the rest of Myanmar and for other hotels in emerging markets. Service was fantastic, at first we felt a little overwhelmed with all of the greetings and personal care from the staff.. given that there are 4 times as many staff as guests you may understand why it may feel like this, but after a short while we realised that they are all genuinely lovely, friendly staff that are eager to please and interact with you.. We embraced it. We visited during a very heavy storm and a very large piece of bamboo was hitting against the side of our room, we only mentioned it briefly to a junior member of staff on the way to breakfast and by the time we returned from our day trip it had been cut back.. A huge bamboo tree that would need some serious work.. We were extremely impressed with the effort. Food was excellent and the setting beautiful. Thanks Inle Heritage and keep up your efforts! Stayed January 2016, traveled as a couple"

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "A little bit of paradise"

"Staff are extremely welcoming and could not do enough to make our stay a real pleasure. Rooms were comfortable and grounds well looked after Breakfast was really nice and other meals were tasty and economical. It is a little out of the main town area , we had access to a guide and driver thru Exo travel which made it say to get around. Thanks to the staff and management."

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Excellent, an example for culinary experiences"

"This is my second visit to the Seeds. The garden enchants me again and again, especially the sunset at the lake is simply a feast for the eyes. Culinary, Felix cooks at a high Level. His well-balanced dishes are professionally served by proud and motivated staff. Accompanied by the evening we were by the charming Lucia. Her courteous and friendly manner as well as her hosting abilities fulfilled every wish. All these people are united as a strong team, creating an atmosphere that invites you to linger and enjoy. Lucia and Felix are great examples for staff management in the hospitality industry. This is immediately noticeable as a guest. It will definitely not have been my last visit to the Seeds. Kind regards Urs Auchter Working for development aid as Swiss Master Chef in Yangon."

Locavore: "One of the best restaurants in Bali"

In short, Locavore is one of the best restaurants in Bali and in Indonesia. Just fantastic on every level and it offers some unique dining experiences. It really is a fun and interesting restaurant with a cool atmosphere. The food is delicious and it manages to tickle all your senses and taste buds. The only option here is the tasting menu (5 or 7 dishes) as there is no a la carte menu as far as I know. All the dishes were unique and creative and combined modern cooking with local and traditional cuisines. I think my favourite was the “Let’s call it a ceviche” fish dish and the “Into the sawah” duck egg dish. Both looked so beautiful and tasted terrific. In short, we all very much enjoyed our dinner here. The only thing that disappointed me was a cocktail that I had ordered, because I think it contained too much bitters. I couldn’t finish it. The food and presentation was amazing though. So, I think I’ll be back when they change their menu.

MesaStila: "Leisure"

Was my second time to visited this Mesastila. They have great view and great staff! They have 22 hectare land. 11 hectare is for coffee plantation, and the rest is for villas. They have 22 rooms. The price for villas is quite expensive but I think it's valuable including coffee plantation tour.

David’s Kitchen: "Wow, what a fabulous French cuisine restaurant. Food and service excellent"

Visited David's Kitchen with friends and was pleasantly surprised at the ambience of the restaurant. You could not get any better food and service in Paris itself. This restaurant is a must if you are visiting Chiang Mai.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Highly recommended as excellent accommodation for Kep and Kampot"

Our stay was six nights in the junior suite overlooking the pool and the water. The grounds are wonderful, peaceful, secluded and private. The rooms are high quality although a few small maintenance issues could have made them excellent plus upgrade to delux bathroom towels. Outside shower and bath with privacy and nature. Onsite is Chankiri Restaurant providing exception meals and the best cocktails. For those travellers that value privacy, nature and quiet. Highly recommended.

Jings-residence: "Perfect in every way"

Jing's Residence was a perfect experience: a rare combination of a hotel that reaches both the high standards of any world class hotel, combined with the charm, intimacy, and uniqueness of a small operation. It is exactly what a boutique hotel should be. Imam and his staff cared for our every need. The hotel was beautiful and historic, yet modern and comfortable. I cannot recommend Jing's Residence enough.
