NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Leopard Safaris sure live up to their name!"

Review by: verve64 | Source: tripadvisor,com
"We saw a leopard! What an amazing experience that was. Having slept in one of the most luxurious ""tents"" Ive ever stayed in, we wined and dined under the stars, had our own personal safari with a fantastic guide. He really knew his stuff and we saw beautiful birds and many other creatures. He showed respect to the animals by keeping back and not 'chasing' them in the jeep like we saw others do. The jeep was great fun and comfortable considering the terrain. The food was fantastic as well. Thank you so much for a wonderful morning and night safari and for the fabulous experience of ""glamping"". "

Review by: Miguel_Lec | Source: Trip Advisor
We went with my wife for a long weekend (4 days) and it was just perfect. Starting from the booking experience, it was done both very professionally and with a lot of kindness. All required information properly provided. Then you get to the place and it is just very nice and everyone is ready to help for you to have a nice moment. Well done Tugu Hotel, hope to come back anytime soon.

MesaStila: "Head Over Heels In Love with This Place"

Review by: NetIsmail | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I just fell head over heels in love with this place. It's a hidden gem. Totally underrated. Breathtaking views of the mountains and sunset, personalized service and true Javanese hospitality. We got a villa with a mountain view and it was worth paying a bit more for it. We enjoyed the tour of the property's coffee plantation and the spa. My eight-year-old son enjoyed horse riding through the village surrounding the resort. I also went trail running with by their awesome fitness manager. It's one of my most memorable experiences going up and down slopes through the property's coffee plantation, on jungle trails, past beautiful paddy terraces as the local villagers greeted us. Would I go back? It's a definite yes."

Villa Song: "Villa Song Excels"

Review by: Murray Y | Source: Trip Advisor
It is not at all surprising that former patrons of Villa Song are so enthusiastic about this boutique hotel. It is located in a quiet part of Saigon and has river frontage. The hotel is very well appointed, with friendly staff and very good food. A private (free) water taxi can quickly take you to the heart of Saigon thus avoiding the crazy city traffic. The rooms are large and our bed was very comfortable. My only concern was the steep spiral stair case to the top (3rd) floor bedrooms. This can be a bit of a challenge with those with knee/hip issues, as there is no lift. Do not miss the large swimming pool that is located at the rear of the hotel. If you are wanting a boutique quality hotel in Saigon, then this is it.

Jings Residence: "Fabulous peaceful retreat in Pingyao"

Review by: Westedge2004 | Source: tripadvisor.com
A superb hotel - with attentive staff, very well appointed rooms and food second to none. The traditionally laid out courtyard, with room off it, provides a serene haven for recovery after a long journey (you must have travelled a long way to get to PIngyao!). The staff - led by Imam - are quietly attentive seeing to all of your needs. The room are well appointed and comfortable. If you can, eat in - the standard of food is the very highest. I wish there were more places like this!

Villa Song Saigon: "Out of town"

Review by: NicholasFFisher | Source: Trip Advisor
"Away from the bustle of down town and a complimentary boat ride into town. Great view of the river, Very welcoming with some great food. Very helpful and friendly staff. Take the hotel's recommended tour to the Cu Chi tunnels by boat from the Villa! Booked at the last minute - I'm coming back that's for sure. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Six-star service"

Review by: ashleyllee | Source: Trip Advisor
"I've stayed at a lot of hotels, and have never experienced service at the level of what I experienced at the Apsara River Droit. Mr. Han and the rest of the staff will go above and beyond - and even further - to ensure that you have an amazing time in Luang Prabang. I stayed at the hotel from 28 April to 2 May, and was a solo traveler. An example: when I wanted to go to fabric village Ban Xieng Man at 1 pm in sweltering 37 degree weather, and the hotel couldn't find a tuk tuk, they dispatched one of the hotel workers to take me for a 10-minute motorbike ride there. Another example: I left my chargers in my hotel room, and the receptionist drove to the airport terminal so that I could have them before my flight. The rooms are spacious and have every expected amenity (coffee, tea, hair dryer), but the real standout is the balcony. It has both two chairs and a daybed; it was great to sit on the daybed during the extremely hot afternoons. I would highly recommend the second-floor river view rooms; I stayed in room three. I had great views of the garden, the pool and the Nam Khan river. The breakfast was also very generous; the highlight was the three fresh jams (papaya, pineapple and mango). As for the river, it's very easy to call the boat back and forth across the river. It's a 1 minute ride, and I never had to wait. Just as a warning - the stairs on the Luang Prabang side can be quite steep. And be prepared to climb stairs! (Not just at this hotel, but throughout the city). If I had to suggest anything for this hotel - and it would be minor - it would be to have mosquito spray available in rooms! The mosquitos throughout Luang Prabang are vicious, and I would have spent a lot more time on the balcony if it had been readily available. Although, on second thought, I'm sure it would have been readily available had I asked."
