Villa Song Saigon: "Best customer service EVER"

Review by: abhilasha s | Source: Trip Advisor
Easily one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. They have a free breakfast meal which you can eat anytime of the day. And the breakfast includes a wide range of options beyond the obvious breakfast dishes. They have a free refillable mini bar in the room (wine, beer, juice, iced tea). The rooms are quite fabulous, try to stay in one that overlooks the river. The pool is quiet and stunning but right near the main entrance so you'll see visitors coming in and out a lot. If you're using Uber to move in and around the city, you can ask the concierge to help in translation. By far the service at this hotel is par excellence.

A must try when in Taipei, friendly staff and food cooked and presented to perfection! Was impressed on the execution of techniques, blend of flavours and its casual atmosphere.

Joannie32: "Wonderfully Relaxing"

Review by: Joannie32 | Source: Trip Advisor
My sister and I stayed in Maisons Wat Kor for 3 days in early November. It is a beautiful and tranquil hotel set in a charming village, a short tuk tuk ride away from Battambang. The hotel is an oasis of peace and calm with spacious clean rooms, delicious food and a saltwater pool which was very much appreciated after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel organised trips on the Bamboo train as well as to the Phare Circus, both of which we would highly recommend. All of the staff were wonderful but we would like to say a big thank you to Mr Phadkey who made every effort to ensure that our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Very highly recommended!

The River Resort: "Luxury retreat on the Mekong river."

Review by: CO0KIE_M0NST | Source: Trip Advisor
Lovely peaceful resort style hotel. The location is right on the banks of the Mekong with most rooms looking directly across the river. The rooms are very spacious, clean and very well laid out. The restaurant caters to both western and local cuisines with lots of choices, all very good. The spa is good although our massages were not consistent. There are two nice pools to choose between. The staff were exceptional. The wifi was also good.

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Wonderful stay"

Review by: AnneandMark | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a wonderful hotel to stay at - staff are superb and friendly. Food is excellent - very tasty (the best food we had in Laos) and just the right sized portions. Room is very good and the only criticism we had is that there was no shower screen but it really didn't need one. Shame about the pool being out of action whilst we were there but Raphael compensated us well for that problem.

Tugu Malang: "Flawless and one of a kind."

Review by: Brendan R | Source: Trip Advisor
"Tugu is absolutely soaked in colonial era charm. It comes through in the way they support you throughout the visit. It's in the architecture and extensive art collection. It's all through the menu in the restaurant. It's in the amazing choices of furniture and design. We were given the exact suite we asked for. The tub was beautiful and nicely proportioned. The linens are really comfortable, and high-slung bed is interesting. We spent a lot of time relaxing at the hotel, because it was just that nice. (...) By all means, stay at the Tugu and really explore the place. It's got all kinds of interesting nooks and crannies. Check out Mount Bromo too - and bring your warmest clothes... it's really chilly up there in the morning. Tugu has fast internet, which is good too! Of all the great things which could be said about the hotel -- it really is the wonderful people that make the place great. Friendly and genuine."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Amazing"

Review by: barryswain75 | Source: Trip Advisor
Tiger Mountain Lodge is amazing. Though access may be slightly problematic for the less agile such as myself, any efforts are certainly worthwhile. My room (7) had breathtaking views over the mountains and (very kindly ) the weather Gods lifted the clouds enabling the magnificent scene to unfold. Though this reality was obviously outside the control of the lodge management , the friendly and efficient care that was delivered throughout the stay at the lodge. My food requirements are unusual to say the least, but an understanding staff managed to accommodate those peculiarities very efficiently. All aspect of care lived up to or exceeded expectations and Grateful thanks are due to a very efficient team.

Rachamankha: "Breathtaking Buildings and Grounds"

Review by: Brishenv | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Rachamankha Hotel is the most beautifully designed hotel at which we have ever stayed - an architecture and design lover’s dream. People are literally taken aback when they drive through the gates and see the front entranceway with a huge fabric panel flapping in the wind. We stayed in a ground floor room with incredibly high ceilings, a huge bathroom, and big, stylish dark wooden furniture and doors. Rachamanhka has all your modern amenities but each detail is tied beautifully together by its historic Chinese and Thai aesthetic. In the courtyard just outside our room, the welcoming seating area as well as the plants, paths and pieces of art, worked together to make us feel calm and relaxed. This is the only time we’ve ever stayed in and ordered drinks just to hang out in a hotel’s courtyard! The pool was beautiful and perfect for cooling off after a long day in the sun. Or you can just lay in the poolside chairs and have a drink with a book in hand. It’s easy to walk to many things, or just grab a tuk-tuk for a quick ride. Highly recommend staying here if you want a relaxing, luxurious time in Chiang Mai. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Fantastic – book ahead"

Review by: smclagan | Source: Trip Advisor
"Booked on what I read here and was not disappointed at all. Great options and flavours. Two of us - we had one of the tasting menus each so we could try many dishes. Lots of great things, each dish was well thought out and presented. Well worth a go. Wine list good and priced well. Highly recommended."
