Amata Lanna: "Great place to stay"
the amata Lanna is a lovely boutique hotel with twelve beautifully furnished Lanna Thai rooms around a pool and courtyard. The location is close to the Ping river entertainment district, the Loi Kroh road and the night market. The staff are friendly and helpful and even delivered birthday cake to my room - unbidden - as they had noted the date on my passport when I checked in. Would definitely stay there again.tugu bali: "Beautiful Old Bali Style"
"I had spend a couple of night's at the Tugu over Nyepi (Balinese day of silence) and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms are stunning, full of little details that make your stay pleasant and also very unique - you feel in Bali, not like this could be any resort around the world. The staff is very sweet and friendly and the location is unbeatable, walking distance from the beach. "Muang La Lodge: "Peaceful place with very accommodating staff"
"The staff, premises and rooms make this place wonderful. Staff is extremely accommodating and anticipates every need. You don't ever get ""no"" as an answer. The amount of effort the staff gives is unmatched, especially in such a remote location. Food is great not amazing. They gave me extra portions since I was a big eater which was very kind. The Of Rice and Men excursion was great w an amazing picnic lunch. For our other excursion, Mountain bikes were mediocre but good enough for our ride. Not trails but back dirt roads. We also selected to do a full day hike w a guide. The part we did was great but if you plan on doing a hike make sure you ask some questions and prepare accordingly. We weren't warned until last minute about the potential leeches that would inevitably crawl on us during a certain point in the hike. We ended up not getting that far anyway as we cut our long hike short when we reached an extremely steep area w loose gravel. Getting down would have been too difficult. We are fit and intermediate hikers and it wouldn't have been enjoyable. Overall the Muang La Lodge experience was great. The price is what it is, and I found myself wondering if I could have found a better deal for a similar experience in Laos. Make no mistake, you're definitely in some great hands at the lodge."Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Outstanding Cultural Experience"
Staying at Rakkojae Seoul was incredibly fun. Highly recommended for anyone seeking history & culture vacation. Rakkojae resided in the heart of the Bukchon village, convenience location, great walking neighborhood, steps away from tourism info center, and minutes away from subway station. We stayed for 3 nights in the separate house. The house was well maintained very nice and clean. The staffs were very friendly and helpful especially Mr. Kim the manager. The traditional breakfast serve daily was excellent. Rakkojae brought us an amazing experience in Seoul that one may not get if staying at modern hotel.RACHAMANKHA: "Enchanting hotel"
"We stayed for two nights and loved the peace and tranquility this special hotel provided. It is located in the Old City, and thus is slightly removed from the bustle of central Chiang Mai. Really the attraction here alongside the quiet is the extraordinary architecture. The property's attention to detail in design and decor is one of a kind. If these features are not what you are seeking this may not be the hotel for you but if so it is a special and unique stay. "David’s Kitchen: "Honeymoon Trip"
Made a reservation on a whim after seeing the great review on TripAdvisor - and have to say the David and his staff managed to exceed our expectations! The effort they put into making the experience a personal one is astounding - and the food is fantastic!! I brought my wife here on my honeymoon and needless to say scored a lot of points with her for doing so!Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Idyllic setting, quality accommodation."
We stayed for 6 nights in a delightful room, located in one of the 3 Khmer houses located in a tropical garden, with lotus pond and a fabulous pool. There were plenty of comfortable lounges and sun beds all with sun canopies to shield us from the strong sun. The pool was a perfect temperature. The food was beautifully presented and the set menus were delicious. The breakfast choice was excellent, and served over looking the garden. Tea and coffee was available all day if the dining area, there was plenty of comfortable seating around the lotus pond and in a covered in area out of the sun if preferred. The crockery used was unique and made by Cambodian Artisans. The staff were very attentive and gave us brilliant hints and advice about tours etc. The drivers we had, were arranged by the hotel and drove very safely and we felt relaxed on our drive to Siem Reap airport. All in all a beautiful place to stay in a very friendly atmosphere highly recommendedNoel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Awesome Experience"
Thanks to the whole team at Yala for a great stay & awesome experience. The game drives were fantastic & I'm missing the amazing food already! Well worth it & would highly recommend the experience to anyone else.Mume: "definitely creative and top 10 Taipei"
"It is hard to understand how the restaurant could be rated anything less than 5 stars. The food is definitely creatively presented, ingredients atypical and the flavours wonderful. This all leads to great tasting food in a classy yet casual environment. My favorite was the beef short ribs and the Mume salade terrific. The night before I ate at Le Blanc, which is the sister restaurant for steak frites and lobster. Mume is about double or triple the price of Le Blanc and the food is not necessarily that much better, however Mume is for a more special occasion. Definitely recommend and you are paying full price."JL Studio: "A magician Chef!"
"With the talented creative sense of Chef Jimmy, a beautiful presentation, a deeply researched concept, a friendly team for service, JL Studio has found the magic formula to surprise. Young chef, young team, new place... yet a solid experience that transports us with brio into the imaginary world of the Chef. CONGRATULTIONS!"
