Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing 1 night stay."

Review by: Yodyut | Source: Trip Advisor
"We booked to stay at Sea Dance resort for 1 night in December. We stayed in a Sea Shell pool villa and ee could not have asked for a better stay. From the warm welcome and delicious dinner to the large clean room and pool, everything was perfect. Upon booking we mentioned that we were on our honeymoon and the hotel very kindly decorated our room with flowers and there was also a bottle of bubbles on ice waiting for us. These small details really made this an extra special treat for us. Thank you to Pay and his team."

Villa Song Saigon: "Worth every penny"

Review by: Matilda A | Source: Trip Advisor
"What an incredible stay at Villa Song. From the moment we arrived the staff ensured everything was 100% perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. The area is amazing, lots of cool bars and restaurants. It's about a 20 min drive from the city, but the hotel has a boat that takes you right in and brings you right back in about 10 mins max. The rooms were beautiful as was the pool area. We also had the best cocktail we've ever had here. Bar was superb. Can't recommend this place enough - will never stay anywhere else in Ho Chi Minh. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

The Hue House: "Possibly best meal in Vietnam"

Review by: Dominique D | Source: Trip Advisor
Came here on our last night in Vietnam. Hidden gem: the restaurant was a bit hard to find. Didn't quite realise it was a rooftop restaurant, the building it is in looks like an office building and there was no signage at the bottom of the building and cafes next door did not know the place either. Anyways, we found it and were incredibly impressed. All dishes were really good, had a mix of noodle and rice dishes and appetisers, lots of flavour, beautiful tastes. If I'd have to call out one dish: rice pancakes w shrimp were fantastic. Possibly the best meal we have had in our fortnight in Vietnam.

Jing’s Residence: "Old world charm in total comfort"

Review by: Claire C | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is a lovely hotel in the historic city of Pingyao. The owner has spared no expense to create a comfortable hotel but you definitely know that you are in China. It is located in the center of the small town so it is convenient for sightseeing and walking. The staff was personally trained by the owner and they are always attentive. It is a very special place. "

Rachamankha: "Classic gem if you are into classics"

Review by: Hongche | Source: Trip Advisor
"Positives: extra comfortable bedding, in a quiet and nice alley away from busy traffic, professional and helpful staff, pool having the cleanest water I have seen (reminds me of Pissin Molitor in The Life of Pi), lush and immaculate landscaping, included breakfast is delicious, and delicately prepared. Negatives: internet works only half the time, limiting my ability to upload photos and book tours for the next days; room door, bathroom door and shower door are all narrow or half openable, really inconvenient."

Villa Song Saigon: "A beautiful haven"

Tugu Malang: "A most wonderful hotel"

Review by: martin w | Source: Trip Advisor
I can really recommend this hotel. Although only 25 years old it is built in the dutch colonial style. The staff are very attentive and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food in the restaurant is excellent and cheap by english standards. The rooms are comfortable and perfectly adequate. Part of the hotel is a museum and the staff give an escorted tour. The is even the possibility of a cycle tour in the morning avoiding the traffic, This is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at and I doubt if there is a better one in Malang. An extensive tea with indonesian delicacies is available free to all the guests.

Villa Song Saigon: "Elegant hotel on the Saigon River"

Review by: Mellona | Source: Trip Advisor
"We started our vacation in Vietnam in this elegant hotel. It looks and feels like British colonial times. We ate our breakfasts on the banks of the Saigon river and had delicious food there. Our room was on the third floor and there are no elevators. We never carried our suitcases - the service was wonderful. We were looking for a place to eat and the staff told us where locally they went to eat and we had a delicious lunch there. We took their water taxi into the city and it was a treat to ride on the river in that way. The pool there is lovely and staff are around to take care of your every need. We couldn't have had a better start to a fabulous two weeks in Vietnam. "

Reverie Siam Pai: "Faultless"

Review by: Samphire16 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My partner and I stayed at this establishment for 4 nights in October and I am so happy that we chose to come here. This was the end of trip through Vietnam and Cambodia and we both agree that this hotel was one of our highlights. We initially chose the hotel as it is slightly out of Pai which suited as it meant we could dip in and out of the town when we wanted. We had a mountain view room which was gorgeous. The room is decorated in such a way that you feel comfortable straight away and we loved the eccentric little pieces dotted around and attention to detail. The shower was amazing! The actual ground were also amazing and so lovely to walk round. The hidden pavilion is lovely in the daytime to sit by the river, and lit up by fairy lights in the evening it is a beautiful and romantic retreat. But the real thanks must go to the staff. The girls that served our meals were so polite as friendly, they really would go out of their way to help you. The boys that drove the shuttle into town always had a smile on their faces. And without a doubt a huge thank you to the cocktail mixologist boys who made out stay. Their signature cocktails are absolutely amazing and the effort they put into them is second to none. They deserve an award for their skills! Thank you Reverie for a truly memorable stay. And if you are considering whether to stay here all I can say is just book it, you won't regret it."
