Maison Polanka: "Awesome stay; feels like home :)"

We had such an amazing stay. Thumbs up in everything - sense of place, service, food. They have gone out of their way to make sure our stay was nothing short of excellent. I will go back here ad recommend to friends and family.

Nimmu House: "An amazing place and a friendly team"

We are a family with two children of 9 and 7 . We stayed our first 3 nights in Ladakh at Nimmu House . It is a beautiful quiet place : a well renovated traditional Ladakhi house with a beautiful garden and very confortable tents for the guests. We were staying in one of the tents : they are all beautifully decorated , comfortable and spacious . You get the dinner in the main dining room where you can eat a delicious cuisine . The staff is very friendly and always try to please you. The hotel is eco friendly and in symbiosis with its environment . It is easy to socialise with other guests . Wifi and internet connection like many places in Ladakh can be a challenge . Nevertheless, It was a very pleasant stay and our kids loved it . We strongly recommend Nimmu House . We will surely come back.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "How big, how blue, how beautiful"

"It was a really special experience to stay at this restored turn-of-the-previous-century mansion. There's not a lot more to write about its significance as a building, or the amazing history within its walls that other reviewers have not mentioned, so I'll concentrate on the rooms. Not only is the building an exquisite example of heritage conservation at its finest, the boutique hotel they've managed to operate in this amazing building is tasteful and thoughtfully executed. Comfortable but traditionally designed, the rooms are a true oasis after a day of walking around George Town. Breakfast service was prompt and friendly. The food, while actually not as exciting as the true street fare Penang is famous for, was top quality. Lovely staff, one helped me out big time by lending me a wifi dongle they had for the duration of my stay. I stayed at CFZ Mansion for two nights and I hope that the next time I return, I will be able to stay longer . Stayed December 2016, traveled solo"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Reminiscent of the Raj"

"I visited the Estate in May 2015 for a week with my family. The welcome drink at the airport and Break at a scenic location overlooking the confluence of 2 rivers with tea, muffins, sandwichs served in typical English style were a delight and set tone for a very different vacation. The Estate (1600 Acres, i was told) is nestled on a hill top and the view is just incredible. We managed to see the Kanchanjunga for 15 minutes on the day we came and thereafter, it remained cloudy during our stay The Food is very good, the tea is on demand (u can order any type u want.. n number of times) and the dinner is a formal sit down affair in the dining hall. They have a log house at the riverside .. the drive, fishing and food again is worth the time. For the excursions to city etc, u get a Scorpio with a driver, attendant in proper uniform who takes care of the food, water, logistics, toy train tickets, etc... u dont need to move a finger. Everything taken care of .. professionally. Visit their tea factory .. nice place to see how tea is made. All in all ... a great place to sit back, get pampered, enjoy the view, have tea and realise that you have been drinking apology of a tea all this time. Fantastic place ... great staff. Oh .. yes .. they still use cutlery from England."

Manda De Laos: "Wonderful Location and Cuisine"

"Laotian cuisine is generally nice. I appreciate the taste and variety. But in Manda de Laos, the food taste great add it with amazing presentation. Most recommended dishes are Mok Pa (local fish dish), and Phed Makham (their signature duck dish)! Everything we ordered from starters to dessert are just great. The location is very serene overlooking lily ponds. Just lovely and relaxing."

Manda De Laos: "Exceptional!"

We came for lunch yesterday, and then dinner this evening. After dining here twice, I can confidently say it is an excellent restaurant! First, the setting is beautiful and serene, a true oasis in LPB. The staff are incredibly polite and professional, and go out of their way to make sure you are having a great experience. The food is delicious! A modern spin on traditional Laotian food. Everything we ate for lunch and dinner was really, really good. We were so happy we went back for dinner tonight! Finally, the cost of the meal is maybe slightly more than you would pay for a casual night out in LPB, but really, overall it is an awesome price for what you are getting. Tonight we had two glasses of wine, two soda waters, two appetizers, two mains, one dessert and two espressos, and the total cost was only around $70 USD - incredible! You will love this place!

David’s Kitchen: "Faultless"

"If someone had said before we left the UK that we'd be actively seeking a European restaurant in a country reknowned for having an amazing local cuisine I'd probably have laughed at them. The joke would have been on us if we'd missed this place... I'm not one bit surprised this establishment ranks so highly: the food was superb, the service first rate and I can only count on one hand the number of other restaurants where the owner actually comes out to see if everything is up to standard. My only regret is feeling a bit under the weather otherwise I'd have gone straight to the tasting menu. I have a feeling no matter what you choose from the menu it's not going to disappoint. In short I can't commend this place highly enough. If it wasn't 9000km away we'd be back in a shot."

The Hue House: "Amazing food!"

"The hue house is absolutely amazing restaurant! It is hard to find as it is located on the 10th floor of the bussiness buildig/ hotel and has no advertisement leading you to the restaurant. Due to this, the place is still undiscovered from tourists and there are always available tables( even for big groups). Regarding to the food- it is the best place in saigon to eat viatnameese food! Strongly recomended! Staff is increably polite and friendly and the view from the rooftop is outstanding! If you are in saigon- you should definitely come here to get the hue exerience!"

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Un délicieux séjour"

Living in Asia, we found this hotel through SHANTI Bali who organized our stay on the island. Travel and perfect organization from beginning to end, which ended in Munduk. Frame, home, architecture, room, meals, walks in the rice fields. EVERYTHING is able to Sanak. THE next "wasted away ALL" that the wi-fi jumps and there is no activity around bcp. To do to relax and enjoy the sublime and soothing views, all complete with a hot stone massage very successful. We recommend Shanti Bali travel and hotel Sanak
