Sukoon Houseboat: "Harsh1111"

"It was my first time in Kashmir so houseboat was one of the top attractions in my mind. Whilst searching online i encountered this beautiful piece of art and realised how beautiful and perfectly suitable it was for family and a comfortable five star houseboat stay. Upon arrival we were greeted by welcome drink kahwa and a very soft scarf. After that thw fun starts. Beautiful rooms,fresh linen, Kama ayurveda toiletries and not to forget a very courteous and supporting staff. Aashiq Bashir Pannnag Bela Rashid These five made our stay an unforgettable experience and stood all our needs within decent time. Sukoon has its own boat that completes too and fro from the boat ghat 19A to the Sukoon houseboat as a complementary service. Wifi is available roand the clock. It is highly recommended to go for Sukoon houseboat in case one is looking for a houseboat experience."

Villa Song Saigon: "Compact Asian Luxury.. Absolutely fantastic hotel"

"We booked the same day we were to arrive given our initial hesitation to have Vietnam as destination for our long weekend escapade. We were amazed at the efficiency by which we were accommodated. The suites were booked for the night but a smaller room was instead alloted for us. It was topnotch from the pristine furnitures and fixtures to the vibrant yet impressively balanced art works. The following day we were transferred to the freed up art villa suite with an astonishing den overlooking the saigon river. The breakfast was eat all you can ala carte and the boutique hotel again exceeded our expectations. Personally this is where we had our best ever coffee experience and you can feel there was passion behind the creation of the food they serve. The hotel helped us book with the river sunset cruise. With the weather getting in the way of seeing the sunset, our guide ""Luke"" took us instead to the floating Pagoda and to a coconut drop off point where we had fresh young coconut juice that tastes even more heavenly than the ones we have in our very own beloved Philippines. This was the highlight of the vietnamese cultural education aspect of our trip having been immersed with our superbly fluent local guide who's versed with of course the country's current issues and its vibrant history. The attentive hot staff were promptly alert and each was attentively catering to our every tiny need. If you're after a compact yet very privately intimate vietnamese atmosphere fused with a strong french structural vibe, then you'd certainly feel like you struck gold with Villa Song. It heartfully made our vietnam trip an unforgettable success."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Exceptional as ever"

"Our third visit and this time for a full week, which didn't seem a minute too long. The hotel certainly deserves all the many awards that it gathers. The formula is very well tuned to demanding Western tastes but there is always a willingness to tweak that formula to make everything totally perfect for individual quirks and preferences. Sasi the food and beverage manager is a modest, unassuming man but he runs one of the slickest operations of this kind in any part of the world.. He exudes genuine care about his guests and that attitude filters down through his team. (Particular thanks to Melbin, Sharoon, Libin and Kiran.) The food is outstanding from breakfast through lunch to dinner. The beach is almost deserted, the pool delightful (although a little more zeal in tidying up the vacated sunbeds would be welcome - that's about the only fault I can find!). Some good low-key outings are possible to fish markets, Theyyam festivals etc to enliven the general chill-out experience Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

Satri House: "Oasis in Luang Prabang"

"The Satri House was a welcome relief from airplanes, heat, crowds and all the travails of international travel. Greeted by friendly and efficient staff, stunning and immaculate grounds, the sweet smell of lemongrass and air conditioned room, I felt ready to relax before heading out for 5 days of discovery in Luang Prabang area. If you have time, enjoy a massage in the spa and be sure to look around at all the grounds...a treat for body, mind and spirit. The staff does all they can to make your stay very pleasant! Breakfast was good but a little more variation would have been nice since we were there for several days. This hotel was selected for us by our travel company, so I have not looked into details of price, value, etc. I can only say we did not select the very top hotel package and we're not disappointed at Satri House! Room Tip: I would suggest an upper level room, as the wooden floors seem to be noisey."

Anopura: "Still wonderful"

"We returned to Anopura after three years, and enjoyed it just as much as before. The remote setting is wonderful, the accommodation is excellent, and Ishwar and his team provide a wonderful service. Breakfast by the pool, lunch in the shade and dinner under the stars are all delightful, with fresh local ingredients. On a walk with Ishwar we got to meet some of the producers of the food we'd eaten in the days before. After five hectic weeks in Rajasthan this was a marvellous way to finish our trip. We would love to return again. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tandjung Sari: "Fantastic"

We stayed in the village bungalows with our two sons. Room was fantastic, hotel exceptional and staff amazing. Well worth the money. Great position in sanur. Beds amazingly comfortable and the feel of the hotel is one of classic old style bali. Truly enjoyed our experience here and will return. Jacky Fidler Darwin

Inle Princess Resort: "Beautiful hotel on the water"

We absolutely loved our time at the Princess Beautiful and large room with a fire lit each night. Stunning view over the lake. Excellent spa treatments. Restaurant was rather disappointing as lacking atmosphere after 8pm. Definitely a 60+ resort Stay here or the Aureum

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"

Mie Cafe: "Delicious food inspired by cambodians best ingredients"

"We dined here on the last day of our stay in Siem Reap and it was a perfect conclusion. The food was super tasty and delicious. We are real foodies and we were very lucky to have found this place. Also, the service and atmosphere of the place were super nice! If we ever go back to Siem Reap we will for sure return to this beautiful restaurant!"
