Muang La Resort: "Outstanding world class in Both of Laos"

"Stayed he with my wife on 6th and 7th December. What a joy! Fabulous welcome by the manager and his assistant. Setting on riverside is wonderful. Food truely outstanding. Dinner was five courses but not over heavy. Waiting staff delightful. The hot tubs are files from local high springs and are very relaxing. Massage was one of the best I have ever had too. W also to a day trek to waterfall and local villages which was most enjoyable and interesting. Thoroughly recommended"

Tugu Bali: "Amazing hotel, local feel in a very touristy zone"

Loved this hotel. The location is great, across the lawn you've got the beach, the pool is lovely, set in a magical garden. The hotel food is fantastic, highly recommend you take a cooking class, I loved it and learnt a lot. Our room was so romantic, the "open air" bathroom was an unique experience, even during monsoon season. The hotel history and decor are stunning and the whole experience, great staff, was really worthwhile.

David’s Kitchen: "Great place"

The reason David's Kitchen is so great is because of the passion and attention to detail that has been put into the restaurant. David, his wife and their staff are lovely. No stone is left unturned. The food is really good.

The Village House: "Rustic with a touch of luxury"

"Definitely a place to consider when travelling to Kuching. It's 40minutes away from town so do consider renting a car to get about. The staff were friendly and helpful. They even went out of their way to drop us off at the foothills of santubong mountain which is 5minutes away. There's no 24hr concierge but if you inform them on time they will stay up to greet you and even prepare meals if you pre-order. Accommodation is clean. Nice rooms and bathrooms and clean sheets and towels. Breakfast isn't fantastic but there's a variety to fill you up. The others meals at the restaurant were really good."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Just perfect!"

"On our 3 weeks roundtrip through Bali and Lombok my girlfriend and me have stayed 3 nights at Slow Private Pool Villas and it was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. To shorten the story: The Slow was even better than expected! Our private villa was surrounded by a huge and nicely planted garden. The pool was just awesome - perfectly clean and bigger than expected. Furniture, tapware and decoration were beautiful and definitely chosen with a huge amount of passion for the details. The staff was always friendly and helpful - no matter if we wanted to go diving, book a snorkeling trip or had some other questions: there's nothing they can't help you with in order to have the perfect time at Gili Air. The breakfast is definitely another highlight. It's getting served at your Villa at your preferred time and tastes delicious! We can't wait to come back next year! But then for longer than 3 nights. :)"

RACHAMANKHA: "A wonderful place"

"Rachamankha Hotel is the best place that I ever had to hold a party of 50 people. The staff were very efficient and friendly. They picked up all my guests from the airport and checked them in to their rooms speedily with no hazels. Rooms are extremely neat, tidy and clean. Everyone said the same thing ""bed was so comfortable and I had an extremely good sleep"". The entire hotel was beautifully decorated with flowers and a collection of beautiful ceramics which are displayed in a well-lit cabinet. The lobby courtyard and the restaurant courtyard provided extra space for pre-dinner drinks and after dinner party. Food was extremely good. The hotel had also arranged the best in town live band and photographer for us. In the morning, the hotel had also installed a big bed of flowers next to the dinning room. Everyone was refreshed and pleased. All of us had a wonderful weekend. I sincerely thank Paul (the manager) for his second to no one organization skills in making my party so successful. Rachamankha, you are unbeatable! "

Reverie Siam Pai: "Best hotel ever!!"

"Best hotel with extreme good personal service I have ever visited!! Ok, a little bit out of the touristic rush. But the free golfcar shuttles you twice an hour to the center of Pai. And picks you up as well. The oase, the more than friendly staff, the high servicelevel and the good restaurant make me feel like a queen in her own castle! We really regret we could not stay longer. This hotel is a reason on its own to come to Thailand."

Hotel Tugu Malang: "Amazing hotel amazing staff"

"Our stay at Tugu owned hotel in Blitar was our first introduction to the chain. Knowing little about the area prior to our arrival in Indonesia we thought we might as well stick with the same chain for our subsequent Malang visit and we are happy we did. We were utterly impressed by the quality which we think deserves some publicity for others to experience themselves, especially for travellers who seek out low key (read: reasonably priced) and independently owned boutique accommodation. From the moment we arrived until the time we departed friendly staff were around to ensure our comfort. Tugu hotels contain local history. But what stood out for us is how they made us feel comfortable. An early morning incident exemplified why our praise of the chain. Unbeknownst to the staff the team of a visiting official had a very loud sound system test at 3 in the morning across from the hotel. Upon inquiry staff was immediately on hand to relocate us to another room for a few hours of quiet rest. This was followed by numerous apologies by different staff we encountered next day in each corner of the premise. The ultimate apology was when we were upgraded to an incredible suite for our second night despite our assurance that we were alright in our original room. We travel extensively and stay at many different hotel/Airbnb accommodations. Such a response stands out and is cherished. And one more thing. On top of the great service they offer afternoon tea offering local tea and coffee and assortments of local sweets and treats. To us that’s what sweet memories are made of."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A fab place to hang boots and watch the change of light across mountains…."

This is a truly wonderful place to arrive at after a week of trekking (with sometimes hilarious hospitality conditions!). Or indeed just to arrive at after the hurly burly of Kathmandu! Marcus oversees a superb hotel with glorious views, beautiful lodge-style rooms and simple home-cooking. It is with some reluctance that I left, and to my disappointment now back home, there is no thoughtfully placed hot water bottle in bed at the end of the day, or mosquito net drawn to envelop me and my dreams.

Samuay & Sons: "best modern Thai experience"

Thank you to chef who was very kind to open the door half n hour before the time, interior and exterior was very local. But food technique wasn't. I was surprised by each dish, ingredient that I already know but in a very different way of cooking. best modern Thai restaurant that can present the real Thai taste. would definitely going back there for a meal.
