Sanak Retreat Bali: "Family vacation"

"What a wonderful stay / experience - We just love Sanak Retreat Bali. After travelling around asia for 2 months We arrived at this wonderful, beautiful and most quiet place at Bali. We had a lovely and warm greeting by the staff / No I Will not Call it staff but the Sanak Family. Due our stay they where all so kind, helpful and aware of every guest. The surroundings are breathtaking and even in rain season this is the perfect place to be for exploring and relaxing. We are looking forward to come back!"

Inle Princess Resort: "A unique and beautiful place to stay"

Set on the majestic, vast and serene Inle Lake, with its floating villages, this beautiful resort is nestled amongst tropical gardens and pods of lily pads. We enjoyed staying in a lovely, spacious lake chalet which had both an indoor and outdoor shower. The service was first class, meals excellent and the pampering spa amazing. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. We hope to return.

The Island Lodge: "Best"

Best hotel we stayed in in our 14 day travel. Delicious food and a nice staff would've been improved if there had been more people but that's a natural effect of not being in season. The breakfast was good for Europeans it's like a European island...great managers

David’s Kitchen: "Girls Holiday"

Disclaimer: this review doesn't even do David's Kitchen justice... We arrived for dinner at David's Kitchen the first night in Chiang Mai, after an underwhelming night in Bangkok. David was at the door to greet us (and all guests). We were taken to our seats where there was a place card with (all of) our names on it. David later came up and asked us about our trip and where we were going. He then invited us back in the kitchen to meet the team and head Chef - and get pictures! The experience alone was outstanding and I haven't even gotten to the food. Everything from the preparation, delivery and first bite was heavenly! Mouthwatering, just the right amount of seasoning and flavor for each dish. It was such and experience to learn about David and how his travels brought him to Chiang Mai. Our experience didn't end after leaving the restaurant. The following day we received a note from David thanking us and wishing us the best of time on the remainder of our trip - yes, he recounted where we were going from there and had remembered from our conversation the night before. You don't find that service in the states and rarely find it in general. Hats off to David and his spectacular team. We will be back for dinner again!

Supanniga Eating Room: "Top Thai ~ without a doubt"

"My only disappointment is that it took me so long to experience this treasure of a restaurant. It’s world class, not only in its delivery of exceptional Thai food but it’s down to earth nature. One for a repeat visit at every opportunity and I’ve been enjoying Thai cuisine for 30 years. Full marks to the owners, a wonderful gastronomic experience. Sorry for the limited images as I was too busy enjoying it all. Authentic Thai"

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Amazing Hanok"

It was our first time to Seoul and my friend and I decided to spend the first 2 nights in a Hanok. We chose this place based on the pictures and reviews people posted here. It turned out to be the best experience ever. We had lots of fun and al Mr.Kim was a lot of help. He helped pointed us to a great restaurant for buddaejjigae. And also helped us with any questions we had. We would totally recommend this Hanok. They cleaned the room everyday and it was well kept. Thanks again Mr. Kim with all your help and hospitality.

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

"We stay 3 nights in the hotel, in a courtyard room (the romantic one) and everything was wonderfull. Rooms are so beautiful, well-equiped, clean and very quiet ! All the staff speak english and can easily help you. The breakfast is so big, with chinese meal and also european meal (try their pancakes !!!). The restaurant is amazing like all the plates. The chief is very good and you can practice with him during a cooking class ! We really appreaciate our stay and will be happy to come back again in Jing's Residence !"

Muang La Lodge: "A hidden paradise"

Wow. We are overwhelmed. A five star luxury hotel with highest quality of food and an outstanding service comparable with international top hotels. A natural and ecological paradise as a secret advice. Highly recommended and the most beautiful environment we ever enjoyed. Dreams come true!

Bali Jiwa Villa: "Heaven on earth"

We have been in Bali Jiwa Villa for 12 days and it was gorgeous. We enjoyed every minute, hearing the concert of frogs (one even lived just up the door to the villa and went for a walk every evening - we loved watching it), the wind in the ricefield and the singing from a distant temple, seeing the morning sun and the stars, smelling the frangipani-flowers...  The staff is extremly helpful, friendly and competent, and it was a pleasure being cared for by them. The villas are tastefully furnished, and the outdoor-bathrooms really beautiful. Breakfast and dinner were very good and served in your private villa, which was pure luxury. Going to Ubud took a 30 minutes drive, with very friendly drivers, so it was no problem at all. Bali Jiwa Villa is an extra-class-hideaway, and we definitly will come again.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Wow!"

This must be one of the finest residences I have ever stayed in. Imagine you are in the centre of Bangkok right by Wat Pho (totally frenetic) but inside the hotels grounds is a sea of calm and tranquility and right in front you have your own deck right on the banks of the Chao Praya river. Fantastic. We also chose to eat at their restaurant one night, for non residents there's a 3 month waiting list. The food and service were superb. The hotel also has its own long tail boat on which we had a 2 hour sunset trip, bumpy but amazing!
