Talabgaon Castle: "Royal Rajputana Hospitality"

Guaranteed Royal Rajputana Hospitality... SUPERB place to relax with added bonus for horse and Polo lovers... Recommended as must visit for luxury lovers looking for an out of the box destination. Just 1.5 hrs away from Jaipur, you can make this your break journey to Ranthambore.

Satri House: "Wish I could stay longer"

"I was really looking forward to staying here having looked at the hotel website before leaving home. Sometimes the reality can be a bit of a let down but at Satri House my expectations were exceeded. The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are lush and well cared for and the decor just perfect. I adore old colonial styling and Satri House really delivers. The rooms are exquisitely decorated, tastefully furnished, clean and comfortably, and have all the amenities you require. There is no in room TV but that would not fit the ambience of Satri House and as we all know there is never anything worth watching anyway. Since we all travel with smart phones and tablets this is not a problem and there is wifi in the rooms. The staff are all very friendly, particularly at the poolside bar where we were well looked after by Ban. Breakfast is a la carte, which makes a nice change from having to keep going up to a buffet, with a good selection of dishes on offer. I particularly liked having a decent sized pot of tea in the morning. As the title of the review says , I wish I were staying longer. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Malang: "Such a wonderful place"

"During a round trip in Java we passed Malang and had arranged to stay at Hotel Tugu based on a recommendation from our Indonesian travel agent - and we were not disappointed!! Upon arrival we were greeted by the smiling and very friendly staff in the reception. We immediately felt welcome and 'at home'. At the same time we received a voucher for 15 minutes of (free) massage and an invitation for afternoon tea. The rooms are not large but large enough, with a nice bed and beautiful decorations ... especially the bathroom with the hand-hammered stainless steel bathtub impressed me. Even before we started unpacking we were seated in the museum-like lobby and had both Java tea and Java coffee served alongside the wonderful selection of small cakes ... in light of the easy access to coconut, the only thing I missed was the Danish 'kokos-toppe' (coconut tops) :-) Later we had dinner in the restaurant and after recommendation from the staff we had some excellent meals. In the morning we experienced the same eagerness to help and we ended up trying a number of both local and Indonesian breakfast dishes. A final observation ... all hotel managers - listen and learn ... when we checked out we got a small farewell present; - a package of the coffee used for the Java coffee, - we got a big smile and - a 'think of us when you have your next coffee'. This is so good thinking compared to other hotels which e.g. gives a Danish family 20% discount on airport transfer and a free membership of the Family Club if we come back to Indonesia with the family before Christmas. If I'm ever back in Malang I would not dream of staying anywhere else. Thank you"

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Excellent location and atmosphere"

We are a family of 4 and enjoyed the Apsara very much. Fantastic pool (only allowed at this side of the river) and genuine service of the caring staff. Price quality for room, facilities, service and location is excellent!

David’s Kitchen: "Exceptional from start to finish."

"I can say without a doubt that Davids Kitchen has been the best dining experience of my life. I had not read the reviews, I only heard of DK from a friends email when Trip advisor nominated his restaurant in the top 10 of the world, therefore I was intrigued as I live in Chiang Mai. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled around the world and eaten in many fine dining restaurants and there has been nothing that comes close to the quality and professional service that we enjoyed at David's Kitchen. The ambience, staff and food was exceptional from booking online until we finished and left very impressed and satisfied. The food was really exquisite and I sadly did not have enough room for Sticky Toffy Pudding which I will avenge with my next visit. The Staff were so friendly and helpful in every way. Professional. David was not there, which I did not know the significance of until I received an email from him the following morning apologizing for his absence taking a well deserved holiday with his family. Incredible and well received. That personal care and attention to detail exemplifies the quality of his restaurant, food and staff even in his absence. DK is something I will be talking about for a very long time. I look forward to my next visit and meet the man who makes his restaurant what it is. An unforgettable and magic dining experience which I would like to say from us, Thanks so much and see you next time. Please do go. you will not regret it."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Perfect oasis in Bangkok"

"I had a wonderful time staying at Chakrabongse Villas. I had hoped for a leafy enclave to get away from the bustle and pollution of Bangkok whilst still being well located to explore the city. It was that and much more. The private complex has an interesting history, and the setting gives views of the Grand Palace right across from its own section of the river bank. There is a traditional longboat and speedboat available for guests' use, whilst the Garden suite is well equipped with a very comfortable bed, and incense burning outside! The staff, however, made the trip for me. They were charming and friendly and made me feel completely looked after. I very much hope to return - thank you again to the team at Chakrabongse Villas."

Villa Song Saigon: "Wonderful place"

"Everything is just perfect! The hotel is beautiful and nicely decorated. The shuttle boat takes you in historical center of Saigon in 15 mins and when coming back at night you enjoy the lights of the skyline and are really happy to escape noise and pollution. The restaurant is very good (we had dinner and breakfast) with direct view on the river. The swimming pool is as big as on photos and very quiet. All the staff is specially nice and helpful and they all speak English well. Late check out most appreciated. I strongly recommend this place where I would be happy to come again!"

Hotel Tugu Malang: "one of the best hotels I have stayed in!"

I stayed here twice, both for business. The first one was in June and the second one was in September. Both experiences were amazing, it's like this hotel is flawless! All of the food I had there was scrumptious and presented tastefully. It's close to a nice bakery and great coffee shops, and just 3 minutes away from the train station! I am definitely staying at Tugu the next time I am in Malang .

Manda De Laos: "My favourite address in Luang Prabang"

Very beautiful place, very charming, top atmosphere, with 3 very old lotus pounds Patrimoine Mondial de l'Unesco. Food tasty, staff very professional, fair. We had dinner then lunch there, in both case we appreciate! Most recommended! Book in advance.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Most memorable experience"

From the moment we arrived here, we knew we'd be experiencing something very special. We felt privileged to be staying in such a sensitively preserved example of 19th century local architecture and absorbed as much as we could of the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful decor. We felt warmly welcomed by staff throughout our stay and they were so helpful in communicating with us and returning items we’d left behind in our haste to catch a flight. Personal touches to our rooms were a delight and looking back at our trip to Malaysia this summer, we all agreed our stay in Georgetown – and indeed the Cheong Fatt Tze (Blue) Mansion – was the highlight to our holiday.
