Sandat Glamping Tents: "Exceptionnal"

Review by: Aijki | Source: Trip Advisor
Eco hotel, peacefull. You feel the passion of the owners in every corner. Far from excessive touristic part of ubud, relax and enjoy the nature. Amazing architecture made mainly with bamboo. Limited menu but tasty and fresh. Only 8 room guaranty privacy. An unique expérience...

MesaStila Resort and Spa: "TRULY STUNNING IN EVERY WAY"

Review by: Debbie K | Source: Trip Advisor
"We are a family of four from Australia, includng two young daughters. We stayed here for three nights. Firstly, all the staff are welcoming, friendly and wonderful. We had dinner here for the three nights and each meal was absolutely delicious. Great cocktails too! The breakfast is also amazing. My two daughters and I did yoga in the morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is so much to do and enjoy, so many activities. Great for children. Nothing is too much trouble with the staff. The surroundings are beautiful as is the atmosphere. We enjoyed afternoon tea on the verandah each day. We had a family day at the spa, with my daughters getting a hair cut and style, whilst I enjoyed a manicure. Words cannot describe this beautiful place, seeing is believing. "

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Superb location, lovely property but terrible access"

Review by: Powerbyte | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is not your usual hotel experience. This is different - not in Darjeeling but about 45min drive from Darjeeling, boutique hotel in a tea garden estate, handful of rooms with mostly foreigners as guests, different cuisine and a unique experience. It is not cheap though but if you want different experience then you need to come here. The only problem is access road that leads you to here. Final stretch of 30min is simply horrible as road is unpaved and full of uneven ride. Your vehicle will not be able to go beyond 10-15kmph. No wonder, all Glenburn package include two way transportation in their own vehicle. You have an option to spend a night in log cabin down the hill next to river Rangit. Fully equipped log cabin offers all basic comforts with hospitality from Glenburn that includes welcome drink, tea/coffee snacks, campfire & barbeque dinner all done by their team for you to relax and enjoy. Next day morning you can hike and go to village Majhitar and come back. River Rangit divides West Bengal and Sikkim. The hike from Glenburn to loghouse and to Majhitar (which is Sikkim) can be about 12kms but it's a fun walk fully escorted by their team. The only negative point is wifi internet access is weak and unsteady. This needs to be addressed by Genburn team though. We welcomed that rooms do not have even TV but communication via social media is a necessity today."

Anopura: "Comfort and luxury in compact"

Review by: Leo_arun_kumar | Source: Trip Advisor
"I was there at Anopura on 23rd March. I got down at Jaipur and took a road drive to Anopura and I was really wondering on where am I going.. After 2 hrs of drive unknown roads, without any signboards and no destination found in GPS, I was really hard.. But just as the name states, it's a part of secret resorts, it's locations is indeed a real secret. After all that long and wague journey, there awaited a lovely home away from home ""Anopura"" Excellent place for family and friends outing.. Excellent service, great ambience and good food.. Spotting few wildlife around the place is an added advantage. We spot few foxes.. I cannot finish my review without mentioning about ""Lathika"" they have.. A real smart, friendly and loving dog.. Lathika just took us for a morning trekk, without any staff assistance. Se even opens the door for us.. Humm.. A must stay place if you are traveling to Jaipur.."

MesaStila: "Simply Paradise"

Review by: Stephanie F | Source: Trip Advisor
Surrounded by nature you reside in beautiful and authentic houses that just invite you to dream. The service is great, everybody is very friendly, the food is incredible and we felt truly spoiled. Start your day with a tasty breakfast and a healthy juice from the medicine lady (we just loved her), then visit the coffee plantation with a very charming guide and enjoy some hot bananas and end the day by chosing a tasty meal at the restaurant. Make sure you leave room for dessert. Furthermore, the guide from the hotel that accompanied us to Semarang guaranteed for a perfect day outside the hotel. We had a wonderful time and could really relax. It is also worthwile to book a spa session. The Hamam is incredible and the place is so lovely decorated. All I can say is that this place is truly Paradise.

tugu malang: "Quite charming and well worth a visit"

Review by: Tamutoscana | Source: tripadvisor.com
This is a lovely little bijou hotel, filled with Indonesian and Chinese antiques and art, conveniently situated right in the heart of the old town facing a pleasant open square. The architecture, like the rest of the hotel, is slightly idiosyncratic and charmingly individual, which differentiates it from the usual run-of-the-mill ‘international’ hotels. The staff in reception, housekeeping and the restaurant are exceptionally efficient and helpful in a relaxed, friendly way. The restaurant has a wide selection of cuisine – Indonesian, Chinese and international – which often spells trouble, because it is difficult to keep such a range of ingredients fresh. However everything we ate in a week-long stay was fresh, delicious and cooked to a every high standard. If you visit Malang, I would definitely recommend this as a most enjoyable place to stay.

Locavore: "Awesome set menu"

Review by: mariocbernardo | Source: Trip Advisor
Very fine place to lunch or dinner. Reservation by phone quite hard, but female staff more helpful when you come to booking. However, the set menu is amazing. You will happy to spend two hours meal. 😆😙👍

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Simply amazing and unforgettable"

Review by: Melsy1 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed in tent 6 north for 2 nights...we do have regrets about our stay. And that is basically the fact that we didn't stay longer. This place is beautiful. A friendly welcome on arrival as we then took a boat ride to the resort. Having just come from Phnom Penh the first thing that hits you is the calmness. A further friendly and informative welcome once we reached the resort. We arrived mid afternoon and took advantage of the wonderful food and sipped a couple of beers on the deck in front of our superb accommodation. The sheer size of the tents and the comfort factor and ammenities available are fantastic. I loved the fact you could unzip the tent to allow you to see the beautiful surroundings at all times. As well as allowing a subtle breeze. The fans provided help with the heat and humidity and the bed is large and comfortable. I love how EVERYTHING moves with the flow of boats passing or people walking on the walkways. Dinner choices are required in advance where you can choose the set menu of the day or simply pick what you like from the standard menu. Breakfast choices are also required in advance. The food is very tasty and the restaurant staff very polite and efficient. We enjoyed a trip to the waterfall. Our 2 guides and boat driver were very good and also great fun. Very interesting to hear how they now have jobs at the resort having been poachers. We arrived prior to anyone else and it was great. The water is warm to swim and the scenery gorgeous. Butterflies everywhere and of course the flowing falls. Fried rice cooked fresh on boar for lunch which was delicious. A thunderstorm started upon our return boat trip..I'm not good with lighting and I'll never forget the guides 'ducking' and 'cowaring' with each lightning strike...when I saw what damage the lightning strikes had caused to their coconut trees you'd understand why. Thankfully after watching the rain fall with such force into the river as we arrived back it stopped. We went on the free trip to see the fire flies. Stunning and so bizarre that they all congregate to one tree..it flashes like a Christmas tree...but it much more beautiful...and the stars...in such darkness the stars are so bright. We were off to Kep after here and were so glad to be given the choice of when we departed. 8am 10am or 12pm. We went with the later time so to optimise our time. Using this to take a leisurely breakfast and to take the kayaks out for a paddle round the island. We saw rhinoceros hornbills and archer fish. Highly recommend 4 rivers. Long may it stay exactly as it is"

Reverie Siam Pai: "A distinguished retreat amongst the charm of Pai"

Review by: Adam P | Source: Trip Advisor
"An excellently laid out design and interior, which evokes an aristocratic air of elegance. A few friends and I came here mid afternoon after a little sightseeing and were treated with great care and attention by the staff. After feasting over a few shared Chef and Mediterranean Vegetable boards, we all left in the highest of spirits."

Review by: Best127 | Source: Trip Advisor
