Mathis Retreat: "Very relaxing stay – very good value for money"

"We stayed 4 nights in April with a 2 years old, it was our second stay and we enjoyed it again very much. Scenery and landscape of the hotel are just fantastic, the personalized service very enjoyable. Karine the Manager had great tour suggestions and recommended a very nice and competent guy. A special mention for the restaurant of the hotel (Terra cotta), where all the food there was very good every time (try the desserts!) and the service top level. Definitely a very good value for money. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Tandjung Sari: "Bali dreaming"

So greatfull that our friends recommended this gem. It was not too far from airport as I had an early flight the next day, however I was able to be in that old style Bail atmosphere for one night only. Nice cocktails, good food and comfortable spacious villa. Canopy bed to rest peacefully in. I even had a midnight swim!

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Very cool"

Great location, great service and a really nice,quaint hotel room. The people are very attentive, When we arrived they took plenty of time to be sure we were comfortable and settled. They set us up with a tour of the floating markets and the best cycle tour of the Mekong Delta area. The bike tour was one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip,

Reverie Siam: "Must Stay while in Pai"

"Booked Reverie Siam without hesitation when I learned this resort is one member of secret retreats, where I used to had exceptional stay at Rachamankha in Chiang Mai in 2014. I'm not very clear what's the background of the secret retreats organisation, seems it's a collection of small boutique hotel in the world. I'm so happy that this decision was absolutely right, we had again an outstanding stay here at Reverie Siam, and I definitely recommend to all TripAdvisor reviewer who going to visit Pai. We took mini van from Chiang Mai ends up at Pai Bus terminal, called to the resort and been told they could pick us up, within 10 minutes the hotel TuTu is already here. Smooth check in and we were been showed to our Deluxe Garden View room, the resort only have 20 rooms in total, however it occupied a huge piece of land, with plenty of plantation offers absolute privacy. Spacious room decorated classic antique and made us a calm mood. Toiletries were all handmade local ingredients, strong rain shower clear our tiredness away. Swimming pool also surrounded by trees and flowers and butterflies are everywhere, we are enjoyed the mountain view from the pool, and as only 20 rooms, so not often met other guest, so when the time we visited, became our private pool. What a wonder land! Breakfast is amazing! After so many hotel I stayed, I tend to love a la carte menu rather than international full spread buffet, as for buffet, so much similarity among different hotels, I cam remember the list of buffet items, that's really boring, but an a la carte menu are different, it is carefully selected item with sincerity from chef and it certainly delicately presented to please my appetite. This time I had egg benedict and transitional Thai porridge, both are delicious! Only one little thing could improve will be the wifi connection a bit slow or certain area no signal, I understand the land is big it may occur sometime. Hotel TuTu is frequently available when you need to go Pai walking street or come back to hotel, just give them a call. After we check out, staff were so nice, still send us to next hotel in Pai. My strongest recommendation to stay Reverie Siam if you are here."

Tugu Malang: "prachtig hotel in koloniale stijl"

"mooie schone luxe kamers aan een vijver. Ontbijt heerlijk en uitgebreid. Theetijd moet je zeker meemaken; koekjes en dawet waren erg lekker. Hotel ligt in het centrum aan een groot plein. Fietstocht met John was een succes vooral het gekleurde dorpje aan de rivier Brantas sungei. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam Alle ruimtes waren smaakvol ingericht en een aanrader voor iedereen."

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Fine dining in Siem Reap"

This restaurant was recommended in a Sunday newspaper article in the UK so we booked online well in advance. The restaurant kept in touch by email to confirm our booking. We were originally booked to eat upstairs where the ventilation is by fan rather than air conditioning but as the was a table in the courtyard we opted to eat there. We were met at the gate by the chef Joannes Riviere who made us welcome and was very attentive to his guests. There is a choice of two tasting menus which change on a regular basis and we had a wonderful selection of dishes. We drank the house white wine which was a French sauvignon blanc and good value. Altogether a memorable experience.

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "A nice respite from a busy life and city"

Rak Ko Jae was truly a peaceful respite after a long day of travel to South Korea. I had read lots of reviews and expected the experience to be a little more... interactive perhaps? Really, this was a pretty solitary experience as we seemed to be the only ones there and only had contact with the staff at meal times. The hanok was smaller than I expected and very quaint. I woke up at 5am and actually WANTED to get out of bed and go outside and just sit and breathe the fresh air and listen to the sparrows sing and fly around me. It was so peaceful and quiet and still. (...) I highly recommend Rak Ko Jae, but I would also say to expect a very quiet and somewhat uneventful experience while you stay. The uneventfulness of our stay was a treat, and we didn't leave once between check-in and check-out! They even reminded us that check-out was 15 minutes away... we were aware, just trying to soak up every bit of our time there.

Tugu Malang: "Pleasant Surprise"

Spent Christmas and New Year at the Tugu and was not sure what to expect as the hotel was fully booked. However, we received excellent service from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. The staff remembered our names and made a genuine effort to make us feel welcome. Despite the size of the hotel it retains a boutique feel. The sheer quantity and quality of the antiques warrant visiting the hotel for the guided tour even if you're not resident. The complimentary afternoon tea is a great experience. The downside is, because it is popular, it gets busy and seats aren't always available. Great looking spa, never got to use it though. Will definitely stay again - off season next time though.

Pindaya Farm House: "Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast with extraordinary views of Pindaya"

This is a lovely working farm and small hotel. The owners are delightful people who accommodated our needs, and fed us extremely well. We had heard that this part of the country is called the Tuscany of Myanmar, and it is absolutely true. The hills surround the valley, and the red earth is reminiscent of Italy. The organic produce is spectacular, and the preparation of the food at Thahara Pindaya was simple and delicious. The rooms are comfortable and capacious, while simple, and the views from the decks are splendid whether in the early morning, middle of the day, or evening.

Nimmu House: "Un pur moment de bonheur"

A 30-45 mins du centre de Leh, Nimmu House est un petit havre de paix, calme, extrêmement agréable où Manon et toute son équipe souriante et chaleureuse vous accueilleront. Vous serez conquis par la maison principale Ladhaki typique de la région, et les tentes qui sont décorées avec beaucoup de gout. Les petits-déjeuners et dîners sont remarquables, fins et vous goûterez avec plaisir à une cuisine franco-Ladhaki pleine de saveurs. Nous avons confortablement dormi sous tente durant 2 nuits: On sent le souci du détail ainsi que les petites attentions (eau chaude en journée et le soir, grosse couette et petite bouillotte dans le lit la nuit venue, peignoirs en nid d'abeille...). Vous trouverez également quelques produits locaux à acheter sur place pour venir en aide aux familles du village (vente d'huile d'abricot bio, sachet d'abricots secs excellents...) sans oublier le feu de bois la nuit tombée autour duquel vous pourrez discuter balades ou autre en français notamment à moins que vous ne préférez regarder les étoiles dans les hamacs ou transats mis à disposition ! Bref, un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce pur moment de bonheur, de partage et de détente. Nous vous recommandons cette demeure de charme les yeux fermés et ... Longue vie à Nimmu House !
