4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Speechless"

"Words cannot describe how amazing this hotel is. The service is unparalleled. Everyone is so attentive and friendly. I felt so special to each one of them. They really go above and beyond to make your stay excellent. The ""tents"" are fabulous. They are quaint, clean and quiet. The barrel tub is super cute and fun to use. There are lots of exertions you can experience or just relax. It truly is the most relaxing place I've ever experienced. Once you get over the initial shock of no internet, it was magical how much of the world you connect with. We chatted with the other guests, the staff and each other. We just sat and enjoyed the tranquility of the place. It's the most peaceful place we've ever seen. In addition, we went hiking (with Rovie guiding us), kayaking, and the waterfall trip. The fireflies are so pretty also, and after a day of all this relaxing, we had the best meals. Every plate would impress Martha Stewart and the quality is even better. It is the perfect way to end an exciting and busy trip to Cambodia. Thanks to everyone for making this the most memorable experience! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "total relaxation"

Staff is great !! Stayed here with my sister who uses a wheelchair. From the moment I inquired about accesability, they helped us with solutions for possible difficulties. The resort is small, with lovely cottages, a nice pool area and a pleasant restaurant. The food is another big plus ! Fresh products from their own garden. It's very quiet and not far from Chaweng or Bophut. Would definately stay here again.

Tugu Lombok: "Fantastic"

"This has to be one of the best places we have ever been. So relaxing & looked after with great surroundings with also plenty of things to do with the kids. That is what a holiday is all about. The beach is so clear and perfect for kids as is not too deep! The architecture in this resort is breathtaking and the rooms are luxuries. When you walk in you will be amazed! Plus the food is very good, love the breakfast and everything is so fresh! We will be back! Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Peace and tranquility"

Beautiful, beautiful, rural location. You feel completely out of touch of the modern world and utterly in touch with nature and your surroundings. Amazing spa, best massages of my life and beautiful products to be bought here. As a real yogi I loved the yoga on the beach every morning free of charge! The food was delicious and the staff were so accommodating to my slightly poorly stomach (from previously in my trip) and made me food of the menu to keep me perky!

Jing’s Residence: "Pingyao’s Best Hotel"

The best location in old Pingyao. The hotel is a quiet oasis in the heart of Pingyao. It's rooms are well appointed and very clean and tidy. The hotel facilities are well laid out with a lovely restaurant, bar, spa and quiet reading areas. Its sensitive use of the ancient architecture is a pleasure to relax in, either inside or outside in one of the quiet courtyards. The staff are always there when you need help, but never intrusive or overly attentive. The style is friendly and welcoming. I will recommend this wonderful boutique hotel to all my friends.

THE SAMAR: "Perfect sanctuary after seeing the temples"

I've traveled through Siem Reap visiting Angkor Wat a few times now and know that even if you don't spend a lot of time in your hotel, after a long day of exploring the temples it's feels really nice to come back to a special space to relax and recharge. After the temple crowds, I loved The Samar's quiet charm and tranquility. I also really appreciated the Khmer-inspired architecture and free facial -- such a perk!

Tugu Bali: "Romantic Stay!"

"Tugu was such a unique experience! I loved eating breakfast overlooking the ocean each morning as well as being steps from the beach! The room was nice and the service was excellent! I really love the coconut milk lattes in the morning! So good!! Tugu's service is 5 star! Even the driver has fresh fruit for you and water as you commute to the hotel. Way to go Tugu!"

MesaStila: "A peaceful sanctuary"

"MesaStila Resort and Spa is very serene and quiet; it is lovely for a getaway to do some writing, reading and relaxing. Our room (Aroum Villa) also had an outdoor day bed area which had the view of Mt Andong which was terrific. The room came with a bath tub which was nice to soak in and just while the time away. The room also had all the necessary amenities to make it a comfortable stay. The staff also made our bed and refilled the water twice a day. We also had complimentary fruits, and desserts in the evening. I would definitely recommend this to friends who are intending to have a short getaway, and I must say the staff at the resort made the stay very comfortable; they were attentive to our needs, and made us feel at home. We had a cycling trip to Candi Umbul and Grabag market, and our guide Nur made the experience very worthwhile. We also had a Sunrise tour at Borobodur and it was breathtaking. The tour guide, Latiff, provided many insights into the culture and philosophy of the Buddhists, and shared information about Indonesia as well. My friend and I didn't manage to try the Hammond spa (which was award-winning) and we would love to do so when we next visit MesaStila. One minor quip I had was how the menu was the same for the 4 days we were there; if there could be more variety, it would have made the resort experience perfect. My friend and I particularly liked the Indonesia dishes (at dinner) and the breakfast menu - A recommended dish would be the Nasi Goreng (fried rice). You can choose either red or white rice for the said dish, and we had the red rice option; I must say, it was a pleasant surprise! I particularly liked the muesli at breakfast - the breakfast was hearty and kept us filled for the day. I can go on about how lovely our experience at MesaStila was, but I'm afraid my words would not do justice to it; you would just have to experience it. They have thought out activities to keep their guests occupied (as the resort is situated rather far away from the city area) and have gone the extra mile to make the experience unforgettable for their guests. Lastly, I would recommend having tea at the Club House; it is calming and relaxing and the pastries went well with their wide selection of teas (and coffee). I truly had a reinvigorating time at the resort; I invite you to experience the same."

Satri House: "Beautiful"

"When planning a visit to Luang Prabang you can get a little blown away by the accommodation on offer, there are many beautiful properties to consider all offering their own style. After much thought we plumped for here and stayed in a Satri House Suite. The original historic house in which we stayed was delightful. A lovely bathroom, huge bedroom with a very comfortable mattress and a separate sitting room area. The rest of the little complex of rooms are well set out in the grounds and not at all crowded, everything has been very tastefully done and to a ver high standard. The location is away from the main centre a little, a normal paced walk probably not more than 30mins to the far end of the town, we enjoyed walking into the centre, traffic is not a problem at all, and to be honest we appreciated the little district where the hotel is located, very pleasant streets around. We also used the complimentary bikes to have a little venture further to edges of town. A little Lao whiskey nightcap with a quick read of the local paper became a pleasant regular evening stop. Walking around town with a keen eye on the other places we considered, Villa Santi, Busari, 3 Nagas etc amongst many more we firmly decided we had made the right choice and not once did I have a regret of our choice. We did not eat a main meal here, but breakfast was more than adequate, the home jams delicious. If I had a tiny gripe it would be that the staff, which in every other way were delightful and really attentive could pay a little more attention to used towels around the pool, thats not much as the only grumble of any kind though. Beautiful place, I understand this is pretty much the main heritage hotel in the city, I am not surprised."

Villa Song Saigon: "Amazing stay"

"We had quite an amazing stay at Villa Song in the beautiful Artists Suite. We travelled with our two little boys & the room allowed us to spread out with ease & the boys slept in the separated dining area which was great. There was a huge terrace in our room overlooked the Saigon & we spent the later part of the evenings drinking the complementary bottles of Merlot & watching the various boats pass by. Breakfast was sumptuous, fresh fruit, eggs Benedict & pancakes to name but a few. We also had a delicious dinner on our first evening, a fusion set menu with delightful cocktails all within the beautifully lit terrace overlooking the river. Lots to do & see, one of the highlights for us was a visit to Cu Chu tunnels, which the boys loved. The hotel is a little out of town but with plentiful cheap taxis & a boat shuttle it really is a little paradise in Ho Chi Minh. Huge thanks to the Manager & staff for making us feel so welcome & recommending great restaurants in the City. 3 nights was simply not enough, go you won't regret it! "
