Mie Cafe: "Charming, Delicious and Pretty"

We had a wonderful dinner here. Glad we made reservations as people were turned away. I had the vegetarian price fixe. It was perfect. Nice flavors and charming setting. we sat outside and could still see the prep work in the kitchen. I would highly recommend.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Delightful Glamping"

"If you like a very mild degree of roughing it, this is a fabulous place to stay. The tents are very roomy and comfortable, the restaurant is delicious, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the setting -- well, look at the pictures! And yes, you can swim right from your tent! But make no mistake: it's not a hotel. If your tent is too hot, there's no AC -- you have to go around back and open up the flaps to let some breeze in."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Magical stay!"

"We spent 2 nights at Tiger Mountain but it could have been much more. Superb stay from our first pick up and welcome to our goodbye. From Pokhara it is about 40 min drive up the mountain on a typical Nepali road but then you arrive in an tranquil oasis where you will only hear the birds. Lodge is located on a mountain with sweeping views over Pokhara valley on both sides. Rooms have amazing views towards the Himalayas, perfect for sunrise watching (they will serve coffee/tea and cookies at about 5.30 in your room to accompany the sunrise) Upon our arrival, the lunch table was set on the terrace with a view to the Himalayas and we were served delicious Nepali dishes. Tea was served in the afternoon with home made snacks. Followed by happy hour at 6 and diner around 7.30. Again with delicious Nepali dishes. Had amazing jackfruit curry, some sort of stir fried ferns, spinach dish, home made chutneys, water buffalo curries. I think I would have exploded after a week at the lodge as I had to finish everything. Quality of the food is fantastic, all organic, grown in the area, fresh and everything home made. Even the herbal tea came from their own garden. In the morning there was home made yoghurt with homemade muesli, homemade jams & preserves, honey from Pokhara, homemade bread. Yummy. The lodge offers guides to take you for walks according to your liking. We did a village walk around the hotel and the next day a ridge walk where we had beautiful views over the rice terraces, villages and Himalayas. The guide took us through villages and explained about village life. Staff at the lodge is fantastic: friendly, helpful and offering great service. There is a swimming pool with again magical views, certainly in the early morning you can see the Himalayas reflected in the water. It is a shame it is so far away from Hong Kong otherwise I would be back for a relaxing long weekend. And there is only wifi in the lobby (if it is working, this is Nepal) so relaxing is really good as you can't connect to the outside world!

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Only one word: OUTSTANDING! A 5-star experience in Myanmar"

"After our trekking trip from Kalaw to Inle, we desperately needed some comfort, nice food and a good night sleep....and we couldn't have asked for more during our stay at Inle Heritage! This was - by far - the best hotel we have stayed in during our 2-week trip in Myanmar. The rooms are spacious and furnished with great taste and top standards, the view on the lake is stunning. There are only 6 rooms in the complex and the staff is extremely lovely and super-attentive. Importantly...the food is absolutely STUNNING: we had 2 dinners and breakfasts during our stay and everything we ordered was outstanding - I don't think you can find a restaurant with such high quality anywhere else in the country. Vegetables are taken directly from several lovely gardens cultivated by the staff and you can really feel the freshness of every ingredient. There are several other ""luxury"" accommodations on the lake, but none of them offers such a high level of hospitality and food - combined. We would choose Inle Heritage again and again!!! Yes, while in the room, you can hear the noise of boats passing by, but this didn't disturb us at all and the noise significantly decreases after 8-9pm in the evening. The hotel also offers complementary ear plugs so we could sleep like babies during both our nights. Last but not least, Inle Heritage is a non-profit organisation that looks after the cultural and natural heritage of the Inle Region, aiming at developing tourism while maintaining the original Burmese culture and way of life, and respecting nature. Given how quickly the lake is developing (with both pros and cons...) we were very happy to stay in a place that is run in a sustainable way and under these grate values. Don't miss it!!!

Satri House: "Souvenirs d’Indochine"

"Hôtel de charme à 10 minutes à pieds du centre. Idéal pour retrouver le calme après une journée de visites. Très bon petit déjeuner, piscine calme, à l'abris du soleil, personnel attentionné. Grandes chambres, déco de l'hôtel et des chambres dans le style, sans fausse note, jusque dans les parfums subtils. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song Saigon: "Love the restaurant"

"Even when you don't stay in the hotel you still can come here for food and drink. The advantage when enjoy meals here is that you are served with 5 stars hotel level. Staff are very polite, well trained and pay attention to small details to satisfy you. About the view, this hotel owns the best view of Sai Gon river. Decorations are very well to make it different from restaurants around with full of green but not surrounded by mosquitoes as most of other river side restaurant. Breakfast, lunch or dinner here are equally good. But each moment has different beauty. When I want to enjoy my romantic relationship with my hubby, Villa Song always my first choice."

Sukoon Houseboat: "Perfect place to unwind"

I visited the Sukoon houseboat during the current difficulties. We had been hesitant to go but decided to go for it and I am really glad we did as we had an amazing time. We were collected from the airport and taken straight to the houseboat: the streets were deserted and there was a soldier presence but once you get to Dal Lake, which is quite a way from the old city, everything was brilliant. The boat is beautiful and the staff are amazing. The food is fantastic. We went out on a shikara ride on the lake, visited gardens and went walking in the hills near the lake: our guide was excellent. There were a few things we couldn't do because of the difficulties but this didn't impact on the overall enjoyment of the trip. The lake is just as beautiful as I had imagined. We really enjoyed ourselves and I would highly recommend it.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "3 days and 2 night, it wasn’t enough"

"The early morning of May 26, so excited to skip school days for 2 days. I feel butterflies inside my belly, feeling feverish for the activities during the trip. Everything goes so perfect, no traffic and the weather was just, cool. Even tho it was a long drive, but I didn't get bored, i was enjoying all the amazing view of mother nature along the way to Koh kong. Sitting, looking the window, with the sound of rain dancing, I actually fell asleep, I suddenly woke up after many, many hours of sleeping. Guess what? I arrived! To the wonderful 4rivers floating lodge. The boat cruise to the hotel made me hype already. It was 1 and half hour to arrive and get check in. Along the way, it feels like me in the Amazon forest, all around are forest. When we arrived our destination, we get into each of our room according to our group. The staff, is just so friendly and kind. The look so professional and they served us the best! They also gave us a presentation about the hotel and how thing would goes. The tent made was just so cool, it made me feel so safe. I love how the inside was decorated. It's not just clean, but it makes me wanna lay on it all day. It was flawlessly designed, and provides all the things we need. Not just the room, even the restroom, i feel like i wanna sleep in there. It's so clean. The structure of the hotel does not only care about our safety, but also the environment.They don't just provide to get our attention, but they also care for our health; water was made by a long process, and soap was naturally made. Now lets get to the best part of the trip. Its kayaking!!!! It was nice exploring and it was raining as well. More interesting, isn't it??? After hours and hours of kayaking , dinner time has arrived. Ughhhhh.... can't explain how good was the food, just so finger- licking, i ate more than my parents cooked for me. At night, i have many choices u can do beside, boring social media, there was a nice library and a bunch of movie series where we can watch overnight. Though i slept early because i need to get my energy for my adventure. Overall, I really love 4 rivers floating lodge,best quality, best of serving, best of caring. Room, breakfast, lunch, dinner, it was perfectly done. Make this place as a place u should visit before any others. I guarantee, not regret of visiting, because it's not like any other hotel you'll know. I hope it visit it once again as soon as i can ."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "A real highlight of our trip"

"What they are doing at the Inle Heritage should be used as an example for the rest of Myanmar and for other hotels in emerging markets. Service was fantastic, at first we felt a little overwhelmed with all of the greetings and personal care from the staff.. given that there are 4 times as many staff as guests you may understand why it may feel like this, but after a short while we realised that they are all genuinely lovely, friendly staff that are eager to please and interact with you.. We embraced it. We visited during a very heavy storm and a very large piece of bamboo was hitting against the side of our room, we only mentioned it briefly to a junior member of staff on the way to breakfast and by the time we returned from our day trip it had been cut back.. A huge bamboo tree that would need some serious work.. We were extremely impressed with the effort. Food was excellent and the setting beautiful. Thanks Inle Heritage and keep up your efforts!

Talabgaon Castle: "Lovely secluded heritage hotel"

"Stayed for a night at the Talabgaon Castle with my husband. It was intended to be a night stop-over to break our road trip from Ranthambore to Delhi. But, to our surprise, it turned out to be so much more than comfortable beds and clean sheets. Although a little ways off the main highway (a few miles on a narrow village road), it was certainly worth the detour. A beautifully and functionally restored Rajasthani heritage property, the Talabgaon castle has comfortable and well appointed rooms and bathrooms. Large gardens with intimate seating areas (and, the main garden/lawn has a resident emu.....along with a few peacocks passing through), a nice swimming pool with ample sunbeds and a seating area, and a restaurant, offering both indoor and al fresco courtyard dining. Dinner was good with plenty of variety on the menu. The only two letdowns were the very limited choice and and taste of breakfast, and the TV (it was a small box TV with no channels). But, given the location and alternative ways to spend our time, we did not really miss the TV too much. And, are happy to give this property a 5 star rating and a recommendation of ""do visit""."
