Les Maisons d’Itac: "A peaceful place"

Review by: Anna S | Source: Trip Advisor
"A good place to stay with friends or a family. I lived in the house for 6-8 guests. Rooms are airy. A peaceful and very quiet hotel for a relaxing vacation. Nice food, wide list of beverages. Comfortable bed. Private water pool, CCTV cameras. There are no TV, hair dryer. WI-FI is slowly. I would be happy to live there again! Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"

Went here one weekend for lunch and to stroll around the place. The moment walked in I fell in love with the beauty and serenity of this place. Food was also good and well cooked. Everything about this hotel is lovely. Perfect for a quiet get away.

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing stay at Tugu Lombok"

Review by: Krishna V | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We spent a memorable 10 days in Tugu Lombok. Everything about the hotel was incredible. From the fireworks on the beach, to world class massages and cuisine. The hotel staff went out of there way to ensure a luxurious a stay as possible - including our nighttime beach barbecue under the stars. The food is delicious. We have had bbq fish all over south east asia, but Tugu Lombok really pushed the boundaries, blending traditional flavours, with the freshest seafood. We had a nightmare on the day we were leaving whereby our boats were cancelled, but hotel Tugu pulled out all the stops at the last minute, to find us an alternative Particular mentions to Hanny, Elly, Henry, Januar - but frankly the entire team were incredibly attentive. We very much look forward to revisiting Be Lucky!"

Tugu Malang: "Enchanting visit."

Review by: Jack B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wow, what an amazing hotel! Booked the room for two nights based on reviews from Trip Advisor. The stay greatly exceeded expectations. It really is like staying in a museum. The dining was outstanding with over 200 items on the menu. We booked the Romantic Mt. Bromo tour package through the hotel and it was a trip of a lifetime. The staff was incredible. Nita great and Mr. Smile gave us a personal tour of the property. Wayou and our tour leaders to the volcano made it a most memorable experience. Room Tip: Second floor interior with pool view away from the street noise."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A royal and magical experience at the blue mansion"

Review by: colouringmymap | Source: Trip Advisor
"Cheong Fatt Tze mansion was on top of my to do list when I was doing my Georgetown itinerary. And I thought why not stay there. I agree it's a bit pricey. But if you want to get the real feel of the jewel of Kedah i.e. our beloved Georgetown, you should stay for one night and you will definitely not regret it. I stayed in a room called Chang Yu. It was my fairy tale come true day. I won't say that the room and amenities are very fancy and royal but the feeling one get is amazing. You get a free tour of the mansion as a plus."

Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful place, thoroughly recommend"

Review by: LondonCymruambyth | Source: Trip Advisor
Set on the river in an expat area, gorgeous French villa with giant pool and lively restaurant, service is great, but unobtrusive - shuttle bus into town and lots of staff information and where to eat/shop. Did a Chu chi tunnels tour with Les rives and they pick you up at the jetty - loved the place!

Satri House: "Such attention to detail"

Review by: TMPL_MC | Source: Trip Advisor
Fabulous hotel, charming, immaculate throughout. Loved the landscaping, gardens, artwork and superbly comfortable bedrooms. Great base to explore one of SE Asia’s most delightful towns. The restaurant serves excellent food with friendly staff.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Best lodging ever"

Review by: Sonia F | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Inle Heritage Stilt Houses lie in picturesque Innpawkhon, an hour away from Nyaung Shwe. Accessible only by boat, the friendly staff welcome you with big smiles and open arms. Such hospitality is not a coincidence. Since 2014, Inle Heritage is also a successful vocational center providing free training to eligible youth from the region and beyond. A registered NGO, it currently has 46 students aged 17 to 24 years old, living and learning on site for 10 months. But that's not all. Inle Heritage Stilt Houses also runs an exciting cat breeding project aimed at reintroducing the long lost Burmese cat to the country. Guests can visit the happy purrers at the 'cat village', an area adjacent to the IHH aquarium where endangered and threatened species of local fish and turtles were saved from over-fishing and decreasing water quality. The Stilt Houses bungalows have a fairy tale like quality, offering comfort, beauty and serenity to those looking for the ideal escape from the city. Kitchen staff will treat you to a wide range of breakfast options from traditional Shan noodles to Burmese pancakes and continental delicacies. As a provider of education, community support and nature preservation projects, the Inle Heritage Hotel is difficult to fault. And with plans to extend from 6 bungalows to 10, IHH will remain a perfect safe haven for travelers for years to come. Book yourself in soon before this well kept secret is no longer!"

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

Review by: Hanum T | Source: Trip Advisor
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 .
