Villa Song Saigon: "Luxury and serenity with wonderful service"

Review by: EmmaCM_71 | Source: tripadvisor.com
I can't say enough good things about this small luxury hotel. I wanted a short break at a boutique hotel and Villa Song Saigon surpassed my expectations. From the moment I arrived where I was upgraded to the Imperial Suite (with two private terraces, one overlooking the Saigon River and the other, a beautiful pool) to the spa (fabulous hot stone massage by Duyen) to the amazing and friendly service from every member of the hotel staff I encountered to the superb breakfasts on the banks of the Saigon River, afternoon cheese platters and great dinners, I spent four idyllic days here. The hotel is in District 2 so a little way out of the crazy bustle of Ho Chi Minh City centre but very easy to get to either by a frequently running shuttle bus from the hotel or taxi. But once you get to the hotel it is quite hard to tear yourself away. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have music in the spa if guests want it. I highly recommend Villa Song Saigon and if I come back to Ho Chi Minh City I will definitely stay here again.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Very tranquil visit"

Review by: Sarah O | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a great time at 4 Rivers Koh Kong. There is no air conditioning or wifi here, but they had enough fans in the room that it really wasn't much of an issue. They did not provide lotion in their toiletries. When I asked if they had any, they let me borrow some of the staffs personal lotion for my skin. The resort is very remote and charming. One of the chairs and the umbrella were broken on our patio, but it didn't hamper our stay. We really enjoyed our tours with Robbie and Wee, many of the guides are local and still learning English, so it was fun to talk with them! Everyone was so friendly! They had a good selection of food options. The food ranged from average, to good, but nothing was exceptional. My only disappointment was that they have so many local fruits, but only offered orange juice from a box for breakfast. I think that if they had a juicer and could offer an option of local fruit juices that would be a nice touch. I'd highly recommend spending 2-3 days here and just enjoying the beautiful sunsets, and swimming in the river and just being ""off the grid"". The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Rahai'i Pangun Wildlife River Cruises: "We had a super time on this river cruise — don’t miss it"

Review by: MikeHSFO | Source: Trip Advisor
Great boat with plenty of room, great staff and trip leader and very interesting way to see orangutans. In addition to seeing these interesting animals, we also had two very interesting village tours and went to the BOSF foundation to learn more about their goal of saving as many orangutans and other endangered animals (and their habitats) as possible. We think this trip was the highlight of our trip to Borneo!

Maduzi Hotel: "Actually 6 Stars"

Review by: StephaneHug | Source: Trip Advisor
"I feel that normally tripadvisor contributors are too generous with giving away 5 stars. This hotel however, deserves even 6 stars! Good price, very nice and spacious rooms, fantastic kitchen by Japanese chef. Delicious breakfast with many choices you don't see anywhere else. Very nice and attentive staff. Flexible check in / check out times. Free wifi Free minibar and free coffee/tea room service. You rarely see a hotel like this!"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Stop Searching….Seadance is PERFECT"

Review by: shaycat | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed here for 4 nights in March 2017. From our pick-up by Tum at Samui airport to drop-off by Poy at the ferry, everything was five star. Poy, Faith, Tum and all the Seadance team are true professionals of the hospitality trade. Seadance has luxurious beachfront villas, amenities are excellent with a great infinity pool which has a swim-up bar. Food here is top class and is very reasonably priced as are drinks. Beautiful and secluded coral beach with real crystal clear water. You should book this resort. I would definitely stay here again. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Sukoon Houseboat: "A special and memorable experience"

Review by: Chris B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Even before we stepped aboard people we met were in awe of Sukoon. It is held in such high regard. The staff are exceptional and go out of their way to please and cater for your every need. We relaxed upstairs on the roof where tea and delicious homemade biscuits were served. Once you have pre-ordered the choice for dinner, it is bought locally and cooked to order in the evening. Delicious. The rooms were extraordinary with their rich wood carving and offered every modern convenience. A most memorable and special experience."

Review by: carambar14 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Accueil chaleureux, personnel souriant et attentif. Nous sommes restés 4 nuits dans ce magnifique hôtel intimiste ou la zenitude est le maître mot. Restau un peu cher mais très bon. Petit bémol pas de navette après 17h vers Ubud. Les massages sont excellents pour un prix doux. N'hésitez pas à profiter des bon conseils de Karine la directrice très sympathique, pour des excursions inoubliables. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

tugu malang: "Luxury and services are beyond expectation"

Review by: AdFiaSasongko | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I was there only for a day and wish to come back soon. The room was impecable, perfect with a touch of personal welcome in a card. Our room facing the front hotel but not noisy at all. The bedsheet was super clean and it was a standard five hotel services and facility. The amenities was not much but enough. Small pool but convenient enough for children. Good selection of breakfast with some a la carte menu. The hospitality is unbelievably super friendly. A typical warm small size five star hotel that you would never experience in a big busy hotel. This hotel was beautiful in a an outdated way, and you may find it quite spooky at the back part, but for some, it may be the point of attraction. "
