Kinabalu Park: "Best place to stay when visiting Kinabalu"

Yes, Sutera is expensive--but in this case, it's worth it. It is by far the nicest accommodation close to the park, and so convenient being inside the park. The rooms are beautiful, with nice views and ample amenities. Breakfast is included, you only have to pay park entry for your first day at the park if you're staying overnight, and wifi is available for in-house guests at Liwagu Restaurant.

Nimmu House: "Amazing retreat, fine food and service"

"This incredible property is the perfect place to base a Ladakh itinerary from. We spent our first 4 days there to acclimatize. Tents are very luxurious and were perfect for our family of four. The property has a 'Provence in Ladakh' feel to it. Very European. All staff were wonderful. It felt like we had forged new friendships that will endure. Food is incredibly fresh and was a real highlight for us. The hotel staff helped to make all arrangements for activities - and there's a lot to do in the area!! I really cant recommend this property high enough. It is one of the best that we have stayed in in many years."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Amazing"

"The Mansion is divided into 3 parts - the boutique hotel, the heritage museum and the restaurant. We stayed there for 2 two nights and totally enjoyed it. Good: 1. Location of the Mansion is inside the UNESCO heritage site and very near other attractions. 2. Complimentary parking is available inside the compound of the Mansion. 3. Complimentary guided tour is available 3 times a day if you stay at the Mansion. 4. Rooms are huge and comfortable. 5. The swimming pool area is so relaxing and it's new! 6. Amenities provided are well thought of and of quality. 7. TV with 11 channels and WiFi in the room also available. 8. Check-in and check-out were easy and fast. 9. Security was good. Visitors not staying at the Mansion are not allowed access to the wings where the rooms are located during their tour of the Mansion. Needs attention/improvement: 1. Mosquitos in the room - mosquito repellant is provided in the room for you to use. 2. Breakfast was late on the day we were leaving. We rushed through breakfast. Additional info: 1. The tour was informative. Our guide mentioned almost everything that was in the book about the Mansion that we purchased from the gift shop after the tour. 2. The Indigo restaurant was really good. We love the food so much and the service was excellent."

Satri House: "Exquisite"

This is a warm and welcoming place that feels like a secret hideaway with attention to detail in all areas. The spotless grounds and beautiful gardens create a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was always ready to make our stay the best possible experience by helping with any and all details from transportation to making sure we had bedside water and fruit in our room every night. This is the place to stay in Luang Prabang if you get the opportunity to visit.

SANAK RETREAT BALI: "Peaceful & magical"

"Stayed as a family (kids 5, 9 & 11) for a long weekend (3 nights). Stayed in a two-story family villa that was spacious and cozy, with beautiful rice paddy views. Kids chased frogs at night with flashlights and splashed in the pool during the day. Playroom above the restaurant and the pétanque court in the back were great additions! Excellent food & service, superb massages - also for kids, which is rare and ours loved it! Did the walking tour in the rice paddies and nearby village, including a swim in the waterfalls - it was wonderful. Also did the trip to Danau Tambligan, which was interesting, and the Munduk waterfalls. The sunsets are amazing, and the peaceful surrounds make for a perfect R&R destination. We will be back! "

Maison Polanka: "Almost perfect."

"The hotel has only a small number of rooms which are situated in superb tropical gardens. We had the first floor yellow room which was comfortable, spacious and with an excellent bathroom. The hotel was uncrowded and relaxing and with a superb swimming pool. Guests were a mix of French and British. The charming staff were very generous to us. There was cake or pancakes and Twinings tea in the afternoon. Breakfasts were a delight sitting outside. Brilliant gin and tonics in the evening. The only downsides were noise from building works at neighbouring properties but the workers looked industrious and pretty advanced so they may have finished by now. It was not a problem. We also had a disturbed night when the local market burnt down but that was hardly the fault of the hotel and very sad. We found the food, at times, disappointing. It could be excellent, but one evening my wife had a dish of fish and raw vegetables which was inedible and my accompanying beef stir fry was as tame as it was tough. Perhaps we were just unlucky. The hotel went out of their way to provide a picnic for us to take to Ankhor Wat and were very good at putting an ice box in my room to store stuff. Would recommend with little hesitation. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Lombok: "WOW"

From the moment we stepped out of the cab my mouth dropped! Tradition, yes and then some! Massive, manicured grounds, Infinity Pools everywhere, your eyes feast from one marvel to another! The staff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating, they all knew my grandchildren's name in one day! If you wanted to have privacy the grounds are so massive you could have a secluded vacation here! Totally restful and awesome time here.

Villa Song Saigon: "Loved it"

"We stayed for two nights, it is a peaceful location and the rooms nicely appointed, the bed was supportive which made for a restful night. The breakfasts were from a menu I had the pho which was very tasty. The evening meals are more western than Vietnamese and beautifully presented and tasty. Being picky, I'd prefer a greater focus on Vietnamese flavours A lovely hotel out of the chaos associated with the central city. The regular boat into city was convenient and when you returned from the city the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel is reinforced."

Dewakan: "Extraordinary Gastronomic Experience"

I have been to this restaurants numerous times; every time when they change their menu. Chef Darren never fail to surprise his diners with natural ingredients sourced locally. The staffs were also very attentive and provide excellent service. The menu was also reasonably priced.

Jing’s Residence: "Wonderful, feel like at home"
