VILLA SONG SAIGON: "An Oasis on the Saigon Riverbank"

"We stay at Villa Song Saigon only for one night but we got a late check-out since our flight depart late in the evening. The shuttle boat is fabulous. You could book the schedule and enjoy a 20-min ride to the city center which avoid the bustling traffic on the road and feel like a celebrity. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and we have a variety of local flavor and western style to choose from. You could also enjoy the pool, whether swim or do nothing. Villa Song Saigon really is a romantic boutique hotel embodying the beauty of Saigon. "

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "A genuine oasis in bkk"

"Myself and my friend stayed for 4 nights in cabochon hotel, bkk from 27th October to 31st October 2017. The hotel is a true oasis in the busy city of Bangkok. We had a twin room, and upgraded to a queen suite, as we wanted a balcony. The bed was supremely comfortable and pillows /linen was good quality, we slept really good. Usual amenities, but they was in large bottles not silly little bottles, making it easier, big thumbs up for that. Safe, hairdryer, robes and slippers. AC was excellent in the heat and humidity. We had breakfast and an evening meal which was lovely. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, agreed to allow us to leave big cases there whilst we have come to Phuket for 6 nights. No worries. Really helpful for us. The cabochon is a beautiful place with a rooftop pool quiet and big enough to take a dip, even swim. You won't be disappointed if you choose cabochon Hotel, I would definitely recommend it and would be happy to stay again. Thanks for a great start to our time in Thailand."

Tugu Bali: "Amazing fabulous decor"

We had a lovely dinner at this charming Oriental/Chinese/Asian art inspired restaurant serving Japanese food. Quality of the food was quite good although the staff really need more training with the menu. They weren't sure about the dishes when we asked them and served us a couple of dishes which needed to b changed as it wasn't what we ordered. Overall though it's a really nice restaurant to take friends to for the charming decor and experience.

Mie Cafe: "Fancy, delicious and still good value for money"

"I had the gourmet menu and was very satisfied with my choice. It was fun to try oxtail and the first starter with shrimp and avocado was amazing. The chocolate fondant for desert was perfect. Would recommend this place to anyone. Even if you're on a tight budget, it's worth a visit and 24 dollars well spent. Staff was very friendly and attentive too. Food was served quickly. We took a tuktuk here from the night market for USD3 and decided to walk back (halv an hour)."

The Island Lodge: "Best"

Best hotel we stayed in in our 14 day travel. Delicious food and a nice staff would've been improved if there had been more people but that's a natural effect of not being in season. The breakfast was good for Europeans it's like a European island...great managers

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Excellent Modern Thai"

Tucked away a little the restaurant is in a side street in the bottom floor of an apartment building. Friendly staffed showed us in and made sure we got the menu's with 3 choices, A la carte, a fixed price 4 course menu choosing from the menu or the 6 course tasting menu. We choose the 6 course menu and enjoyed the journey through some amazing Thai dishes that had some modern touches or tastes. Each course allowed you to enjoy the Thai flavours but with a twist or addition. One of the best 'Thai' meals I have eaten. So an excellent range of dishes, friendly service and a nice comfortable ambiance to wrap up an amazing meal.

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Amazing!"

I've travelled a lot and this is one of THE best places I've ever stayed. It's truly beautiful and the staff are so friendly and helpful, and particularly Brian. We stayed in the bamboo hut, it's stunning and romantic. The grounds are peaceful and tranquil and are a little piece of paradise. They have gorgeous dogs that make you feel at home. A couple of downsides was we found the food a little repetitive so opted to eat out in the evening and you are a 30 min drive to Moalboal. However it's totally worth the effort, we were diving every day so we went in each day and the driver was reliable and on time and it was cost effective. I love this place and will be back. Highly recommend

Jing’s Residence: "Home away form Home but nicer"

"I spent a weekend here in this historical town. This accommodation is great value for the comfort and luxury it offers. It has a homely Chinese feel that is comfortable but not austere or hostile as the life around it appears. The bullet train from Beijing was interesting. Everything is in close walking proximity in this town. I recommend arranging a pickup from the train station arranged through the hotel. It began the weekend calmly and smoothly (not always the way in China) Iman is a delightful staff member who leads a friendly team of hotel staff and the owner was a genuine delight and low key. They tend and anticipate to all your needs. It was truly impressive and not something you always receive in China. The simple afternoon teas served upstairs in the cozy area with art, books and calligraphy on a freezing cold day was welcome. The room and bed was warm and comfortable (not always the case in China) and a delightful gift added was a treat. Honestly you could stay here and not leave to see anything else. There was a great sense of history in the architecture as well as the food. We were taken to see some really interesting historical buildings, an opportunity you would not get in the mainstream. There are activities offered and they were lovely. We did noodle and dumpling making. The shopping and souvenirs were much cheaper here than in other places so worth purchasing. They love to barter so do your best to get a great deal! In this part of China this accommodation offers a genuine great time away without the corporate schmoozing. Families are catered quite well here without disturbing others."

Babe: "Amazing"

The staff could not do enough for you. The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere and scenery was a delight. Perfect for romantic evenings or meal with friends. Definitely at the top end of the market for luang prabang bit worth every penny

Maduzi Hotel: "Favourite Hotel"

Their service is always impeccable. They revamped their breakfast menu and it's amazing. Apart from healthy options, they added fancy options like truffle quiche. You must try their freshly baked croissant too... you will not regret it. It is literally the best croissant I've ever had. I've stayed in Maduzi for my last three trips to bkk and I plan to come back for my future trips.
