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!

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Stunning"

Magnificently well restored 19th century Chinese Mansion, with a museum area. We could stay for four days, only. Could have stayed for weeks, it was such a good experience. Staff were super friendly, helpful, and it was as if they felt priveliged to be at the Blue Mansion. Shiro at reception was a standout with her advice and info about the Mansion. Breakfast was impressive it was so good, served in a beautiful location. The rooms were amazing. The most comfortable bed in a hotel I have ever found. Bathroom worked well. Pool was smallish, but most appreciated. The Indigo Restaurant, beautifully decorated, was definately worth while, at least once. We had a great dinner there. Guided tours several times a day. The tour we joined was run by a highly knowledgable Hakka Lady. A must do if you are staying. Will be back !

The Island Lodge: "Peaceful visit"

We stayed here after a day on the Mekong Delta. The staff are really attentive and go out of their way to welcome you and look after you while you are there. The pool is brilliant, the gardens are exquisite and we really enjoyed the beautiful French food.

Satri House: "Best Hotel Ever!"

"Perfect hotel for who want very private & relaxing place. You will feel that you're perfectly cared by entire hotel associates and that will surely make you big fan of Satri. I would give 10 Stars Satri if I could! ^_^ Perfect room condition. Tasteful foods. Relaxing garden. Satri is not large but it has everything perfect."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Amazingly relaxing holiday"

"We stayed one week at Slow Private Pool villas and had the most amazing and relaxing time; just what we needed. The staff went out of there way to help us. Slow has the most helpful and accommodating staff. The Slow Spa is wonderful. Gili Air itself is already a perfect island getaway with a tranquil vibe and Slow Villas only enhances that feeling. Fabulous holiday! We will certainly come back."

The Cabochon Hotel: "Lovely boutique hotel, very personal staff"

"We had an excellent stay here. From the moment we arrived we felt totally taken care of. For example, on our last day we had an early check out and had to go catch a flight, and our luggage was loaded into a cab and we were given bags of breakfast to go. The staff here was incredibly friendly and they made our stay very special. The building itself is very thoughtfully decorated, and you can tell that a lot of attention went into the small details. The pool on the roof offers a lovely respite from the heat, as does the gin and tonic bar at happy hour. The neighborhood is also quite nice. There are a lot of really nice places nearby to eat, and for all budgets. (One of the fanciest is called Bo.Lan and it is amazing.) The public transportation is also quite close, so in our short stay we were able to do some of the main tourist attractions as well. It was nice to come back to a lively neighborhood for dinner and drinks, and have so many options near the hotel. We had a great time on our honeymoon here! Highly recommended!"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "A peaceful magical getaway"

"We were 4 families that stayed in Glenburn Tea Estate for 4 days from 26 th Dec to 30th Dec 2015. It was a SUPERB holiday. The property is awesome... Both the colonial bungalows are tastefully furnished.....we were blessed with clear skies on all the days and thus we were awed by the magnificent views of the Himalayas, of course the highlight being the Kanchenjunga....you feel one with nature here... The rooms are spotlessly clean and spacious. They've retained their old world charm. The food was great with a different cuisine being served everyday. Breakfast and lunch in the outdoors and dinner in a beautiful dining room. They even organised a lovely bonfire for us one evening! Faye and Will are lovely hosts. The staff which includes their guides, drivers, cooks, housekeeping staff... Just about everyone are fabulous. The personal attention to detail was impressive. The service faultless!!!! We spent our days hiking, fishing and just languishing on the verandah or the gardens absorbing the gorgeous view and the tranquility of Glenburn. Both our hikes, one to the suspension bridge to Sikkim and the other to the campsite at the river followed by a barbecue lunch and a game of cricket were great. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners Anshuman and Husna Tara Prakash while we were in residence. They are a super couple and their all round supervision and dedication to maintaining the high standards is evident when one talks to them. The roads to and around the tea estate are bumpy but once there it is PARADISE ON EARTH. We are all looking forward to returning to Glenburn soon. A must visit for families, friends, couples or even solo travellers. Stayed December 2015, traveled with friends"

Tugu Bali: "Amazing property"

Very unique experience staying in this hotel. Quick walk to the surf breaks at Batu Balong, Old Man's and Echo Beach/Pererenan from the lovely beach area on the property. Food in the restaurant is a bit more expensive than other options in the area but well worth the price.

Mathis Retreat: "Big nice room and pool by rice fields"

Very nice boutique hotel in Ubud. The room is very nice, clean, and the bed very comfortable. The swimming pool by the rice field is a superb way to chill in the afternoon. Free shuttle to Ubud center is a plus:)

Satri House: "An amazing experience"

From the moment we arrived we were awe-struck by this beautiful property. Gianni and his team do a superb job looking after the guests' every need, from organising tours to arranging airport transportation. All of the staff are very friendly but our favourite was Peng at the pool bar. An absolute delight, he attended us thoughtfully and unobtrusively over our four days at Satri House. We were very sorry to leave. We would definitely stay there again!!
