Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Felt like home away from home"

"We stayed at Neeleshwar Hermitage last month (Spetember 2015) and it was an awesome experience. We arrived at the place in the evening after a long and tiresome drive from Mangalore Airport. With two young and cranky kids..we were exhausted. But the traditional and warm reception we got at the Reception hall certainly cheered our grumpy lot quite a bit. First thing, I noticed at this place was, how Eco-concious they are. They have a no plastic policy, they do not use garbage churning stuff. Their restrooms have cloth towels rather than paper ones. All fresh and white. Their place has so much of greenery. Lovely Hibiscus all around. They make generous use of the flowers to decorate the premises including their spacious beautiful rooms. When we reached our room, we were greeted by the mild fragrance of incense and flowers. Soooo relaxing.. (...) My younger 3 year old got sick one night and they made sure that we got the medicine we required, even during night with short notice. They made sure we got a see a Paediatrician early next morning. I am truly grateful for their help. Not to forget, at my request they gave me some Hibiscus cuttings to carry back home and plant. Overall, an awesome place. Will go again with friends and family. "

Maison Polanka: "Intimate boutique hotel"

"This hotel is small only 6 guest rooms I believe. We booked the Khmer House which was huge. We felt like we had our own house which we did. Ground floor is an outside seating area with massage tables. Room had so much character with unique pieces of furniture and even an old gramophone. Service was attentive and they were very helpful in booking our tours. Great pool to cool off after a sweaty day of sightseeing. This hotel is about 10mins from Pub street and the markets. Not much else nearby but that makes it all the more a beautiful sanctuary. "

Jings-residence: "A haven of peace"

"We stayed at Jing's Residence for 2 nights and this was really a wonderful experience. After the noise and the crowd of the city , Jing's Residence offers a quiet and peaceful environment, sophisticated yet making you feel like in a friend's or family home. From the rooms and exquisite decoration, to the restaurant and the staff, everything was perfect. We celebrated my father's birthday there and the staff was very kind and thoughtful. I also tested the spa which was a very pleasant moment. This is truly one of our best experience in China."

The Island Lodge: "Lovely Resort and Location in Mekong Delta"

Glad we did find this beautiful place in Mekong for a relaxing week end. Location is overlooking Mekong, the Resort itself is welcoming, well decorated with a colonial feel. The Owners are french and run as well the operation with a lot of passion and kindness. Staff are well trained and genuinely smiley. We will be back :).

The Samar: "Intimate and excellent"

"I've been at SAMAR four nights in July 2015. Overall experience was marvellous. Hotel has 8 rooms only, large and comfortable, designed in colonial style with abudant use of timber and coupled with walking wardrobe and huge bathroom. Pool is always silent and ideal for resting after sunset. Staff is welcoming, pleasant end ready. SPA, satellite TV, fast wi-fi connection everywhere, room safe, english language all available. During my stay I never met more than 3 other guests together, I got a residential feel almost, as being guest at somebody place. Location is conveniently located near archeologic sites and away from noisy and busy msrket/pub area. Highly recommended."

MesaStila: "Best Start to 2017"

"MesaStila really IS a wonderful place to stay in. My husband and I came for a short 2 nights 3 days break on the Escapism package and it was just heavenly. We live in Jakarta and coming here for a break from the city was just magical. A quick flight to Semarang from the new terminal 3 and we were met by the MesaStila car and driver at the airport. We were soon at the Resort and what a change from what we had left in in Jakarta. The air is clean, the scenery beautiful (constantly changing landscape on the days we were there with blue sky and white clouds, sometimes early mist, a brief lightning storm) and the grounds of the resort are so peaceful. We felt close to nature and yet pampered by the staff and the facilities. The Spa treatments were the best we have ever had and the attention to detail to the decor and the therapy rooms ensures a thoroughly relaxing experience. We stayed in room 204 which was a quaint villa. Styled perfectly, with a fourposter bed, plenty of seating options, a verandah to relax outside with a book, stained glass windows, old fashioned bathroom yet all the modern needs you would expect in a hotel room. We ate all our meals at MesaStila and the selection is amazing. The food was fresh, presented beautifully and so tasty. The quality was 5 star! We even managed to squeeze in a sunrise tour to Borobudur arranged by the staff. There is a long list of options of tours you can take which the reception staff will arrange for you. Thank you to the staff and management for ensuring we had a great mini vacation. We will be planning a return trip before the end of the year. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

mudanwan villa: "Tranquil and GREAT hot spring facilities!"

"I have stayed in Mudanwan for 2 night with my family. We got a big room on the ground floor with our own hot spring pool and swimming pool in the back yard (privacy guaranteed), a large bathroom with another indoor hot spring pool, two king size beds, and it was just fabulous!!! We went for a full board package and the food was just gorgeous and fresh! There's a 24 hr juice/snack bar too. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the services were just great. We really had a fantastic time there. Although the location is really in the middle of nowhere, they do offer a nice shuttle service. "

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Lake view"

Relaxing atmosphere in front of the lake and very service.... Enjoyed a great dinner alfresco with high quality food

Rahai’i Pangun: "3D/2N River cruise"

"My wife and I took a 3D/2N river cruise with Wow Borneo in February 2017. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had the superior cabin, which included a double bed and private bathroom. All the guest cabins were air conditioned. 3 meals a day were served on the main deck. The chef aboard was excellent! We certainly never went away hungry. The crew and guide were excellent. Our guide spoke excellent English, which was a major help since we speak very little Bahasa Indonesia. She was also very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and also the local culture. She had a really sharp eye for spotting animals on the shore as we passed. Of course the main attraction was the chance to see Orangutans. We were not disappointed. We say them every day of the cruise, and at one point saw 6 in one location. There were also numerous monkeys and birds. This was the best tour we have been on in our year in Indonesia. I highly recommend it."
