Villa Song Saigon: "Wonderful! Keep Up The Great Work"

Stunning boutique property in district 2 of the city yet feels and looks like you are far more rural. We stayed here twice and were given a very warm and typical Vietnamese welcome each time. Service was impeccable and attentive without being intrusive. All seemed to have a very genuine interest in how we were and what we had done each day. Great sized lovely pool for the number of guests accommodated, chilled to exactly the right temperature! To the rear of the hotel is a beautiful garden, bar and indoor/outdoor restaurant overlooking the river and across to the fields. Chilled music adds to the very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out by the river with a drink (or two) each evening! An excellent menu and wine list provide great choice and all of the food was beautifully presented and absolutely superb. The hotels speed boat provides a courtesy shuttle service between the hotel and centre of the city in just 15 minutes, far quicker than going by road! Exceptional service from a clearly dedicated, highly trained and competent team. Nothing is too much trouble. We hope to return soon...

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "A luxurious and peaceful escape from the bustle of the city"

"Our first two nights in Vietnam were spent at Villa Song. This was the most idyllic way to kickstart our holiday. The location beside the river is specatular. We had the suite on the top floor with the little parlour. Our two girls slept in the parlour which worked perfectly - leaving us in the four poster bed. This is a very romantic, charming hotel - the furnishings and fittings are beautiful. But the key for us was that it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The first day we were collected by tour company Les Rives to take us by boat to the Chi Chi Tunnels – this was perfect because they could simply collect us and drop us back at the hotel’s private pier. The restaurant is fabulous – a beautiful al fresco location for dinner and breakfast. "

Villa Song Saigon: "A haven in Saigon"

A great quiet riverside property in district 3 only a short boat ride (complimentary) to the centre. Great attentive service and great food all round. Breakfast was inclusive a la carte and available all day which we thought was a really nice touch. We really liked our room (206) with its terrace and views. We would definately recommend and stay here again.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "All you need to know about tea"

A fantastic three night stay on the Glenburn Tea Estate. Amazing, sumptuous suite with fabulous views of Kanchanjunga, Sikkim and Darjeeling. Delightful guide lead walks around the tea plantations and a very interesting tour of the tea factory complete with tea tasting.The food was exquisite, the setting dreamlike and the service second to none. The 40 minute jeep drive from the main road down a very bumpy, twisty track descending 3000 ft is not for the feint hearted, but for others it may add to the adventure. The drivers were marvellous. We never fealt unsafe.

Sea Dance Resort: "Excellent service, perfect atmosphere and great food."

"- Great food (even has their own home grown vegetables) - Perfect service! - Excellent atmosphere! We came to the restaurant at a Wednesday night by accident, and we immediately felt very welcome. We decided to stay despite the fact that my girlfriend doesn't even like Thai food and there was a Thai buffet that night. We didn't regret it!! The Thai buffet was delicious and so was my girlfriends club sandwich (they made it possible for her to order from the a la carte menu, even though it was buffet only that night, and there was a big buffet prepared for the guests)! Very service minded We were there after told that we were welcome to come use their great facilities anytime during our stay at Koh Samui. We did that and we went back there for four days in a row because of the pool, kayaking/SUP-boards and especially the food. Had we only known how wonderful this place is we would have stayed here for sure! There was an English girl working in the restaurant, who'm was one of the nicest waiters I've ever encountered. She meant a lot to the place and if I was the owner I would make sure she would never leave her job Her and the rest of the excellent staff makes you feel at home instantly. "

Maduzi Hotel: "Good, Privacy, Clean Hotel, Friendly & Helpful Staffs"

"I was there fron 6 to 10 May 2016. We got 2 rooms for myself and my family. We were there for 4 nights. Both rooms have different layout. We were given upgraded rooms. My girls loves the rooms, bed and of cause the bath tub... especially after a long hot day.. From BTS Asok, you can walk along the shelter linkway or from MRT Sukhumvit exit 2, walk into Interchange 21 to 2 or 3 level up, walk along the same linkway into Exchange Tower and escalator down to the lobby. From Exchange Tower to hotel is just 1 to 2 minutes under the sun. Pros... - Gate closed 24 hours except for taxi to come in to pick the guests. - Rooms are big. - Beds are big and comfortable. - The staffs are friendly and helpful. - 1 welcome drink at bar each.. - Free flow of coffee and tea at the bar. - Coffee machine in each room, mini bar snacks and drinking water are free too. - If you need hot water, a small water kettle can be asked and send to the room. - Late check-out is FOC. Cons.. - The lifts are warm as mentioned by others. - Breakfast sets are fixed throughout our stay but very nice.. But when we had 4 sets each day and having the same for 4 days, by the 3rd morning, we were tired on the menu. If you are staying there for 1 or 2 nights, I recommend to take their breakfast but when you are staying longer, you may want to just take 2 days and the rest of the days, eat out. - Some TV programmes / channels in one of the rooms are not clear. As this hotel has privacy, is small and cozy.. I will recommend couples and families to stay.. I will stay there again when I am back in Bangkok."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Not to be missed"

The greeting at the front door at the beginning of the tour was terrific. The best guide I have ever experienced. The mansion was amazing with its the history the architecture and the family who lived there were well explained by our excellent guide. Looked a wonderful place to stay.. photography allowed

The Village House: "Amazing retreat"

"We stayed at the Village House on 9th July for 3 nights. What can I say about this place, everything was great. The layout and decor is first grade and has the real feel of a relaxing yoga retreat. If you want 2 or 3 days simply to unwind and kick back in a rural setting with the soothing sounds of running water lapping over the pool then this is the place for you. We both fell asleep within minutes of arriving due to the relaxing ambience of the place. The food was excellent. Every one of our meals was delicious. The staff were very attentive and helpful in booking excursions or transport. There are a few good places to visit nearby. The Wetlands national park and Sarawak Cultural Village are on the doorstep and both well worth a visit. One thing to note though is that the hotel stands very much on its own without any restaurants or shops nearby (not that it matters with the good food on offer) so this is definitely a short stay place to recharge the batteries."

The Village House: "Vacation"

Very beautiful, warm and pleasant ambience. Very friendly staffs especially ALIFAH - thank you so much for your great service! The only thing that I wld like to suggest is the Food of you could provide Halal Food for the Muslim guests☺ Thank you v much

Mie Cafe: "Sophisticated dining"

This charming restaurant ticks all the boxes. Service is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable, the food is local but with a modern twist, and beautifully presented, and the setting is in a pretty garden. The tonle sap fish salad, and the frozen lime pie were particularly good.
