Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A Lodge with a View and so much more"
"This was my second time at TMPL, and for me TMPL is first of all about this magnificent view. The place itself is so beautifully built, that no matter which way you turn, you are always able to enjoy the spectecular view on the Anapurna mountain range and at the same time feel included in nature without being intrusive. A result of the environmentally conscious approach by its owner Marcus Cotton. The rooms are inviting - spacious, comfortable and in decor beyond any short lived fashion, which can at times be overwhelming. So I felt instantly at home. And the food was just delicious, home made from their own organic garden. It was a treat to chose whatever you wanted, because the guest's well being had priority. The staff is very well trained, attentive, efficent in a gentle way, making you feel very welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed Marcus' warm and generous hospitality sprinkled with a lovely sense of british humour. It was a truly wonderful stay for me and I will be back for more as soon as I can. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"Satri House: "Charme fou, service d’exception"
Situé à qq minutes du centre ville, c'est un véritable coup de coeur pour cet endroit plein de charme (bâtiments, décoration, jardins, piscines) avec un personnel aux petits soins pour ses invités. En effet, on se sent plus invités que clients tant les attentions sont multiples et toute la journée. Le restaurant est très bon. De même que le petit déjeuner simple mais raffiné (excellentes confitures maison). Ce lieu mérite d'y rester deux trois jours, pour s'imprégner de la douceur du Laos et se reposer entre deux visites de Luang Pradang. Excellente aide pour l'organisation des visites et des transports entre deux étapes.Villa Mathis: "Au Top"
"Merci, Je suis resté à Bali trois semaines, trois semaines d’extase, trois semaines dans cet hôtel, avec du personnel et des gérants hors norme de part leur gentillesse et leur professionnalisme. Qu’une envie, revenir et peut être ne plus repartir."Tugu Bali: "Hidden gem"
Absolutely beautiful property full of Balinese culture and Indonesian history; you could spend a day itself properly exploring, learning about, and enjoying the hotel itself. Staff were impeccable and went out of their way to meet my very need; super friendly. Easy walk (less than 2min) to the beach where there are excellent waves for surfing right there at Batu Bolong beach (with other excellent breaks nearby). Plenty of excellent and hipster restaurant/Cafe options; Canggu way more laid back and less chaotic than Kuta or Seminyak. Can sometimes be noisy at night given proximity to the some of the most happening bars in Canggu, but if you’re looking for intimate luxury in a super-cool part of Bali, Tugu is your place. Rooftop bar had outstanding views, where I also ate my breakfast every morning to watch surfers catch the morning swell. While I came solo, I would bring my family back here in a heartbeat. Thanks Tugu!Le Passe-Temps: "Back to human values"
"This place is just a little paradise in a busy life time. The hosts are sinceres, human, warm, smiling and dedicated. Their team is their mirror, they make you feel home without being intrusive. A large choice of activities and amenities are offered, you can enjoy the time passes on the beach with book and drink, or a trip in their private boat..... At night you can drink fantastic cocktails and meet your neighbours to share your life, book, movie, emotional experiences. In the ""Passe temps"" the best human behaviors can be rediscovered!"Mie Cafe: "Do not miss this restaurant"
We went here on our first night straight after arriving in Cambodia. We stayed at Le Meridien which is only a 5 min walk. The food was great. Of course had to try the fish Amok - best fish amok I had in Cambodia. All the food is prepared by the kitchen staff with utmost precision which you will notice back in the taste. Half open kitchen and very pleasant staff. The chef came and visit all the tables personally to check if all was good. This restaurant has impressed me - must go to even if you stay a bit further away.Sukoon Houseboat: "Unforgettable Memories"
Its just chance to find this House boat in dul lake. It was amazing experience to stay there. This house boat is not like other traditional house boats in dul lake. It is like a five star hotel. You experienced a class on this house boat. Room size and interior is very good. Bathroom is USP of the room. Food quality and verity was very good. The chef was master in his profession. It has a Roof top restaurant where you can spend whole day to viewing beauty of dul lake and mountains. Staff was well trained and very much polite. Services was level of a five star hotel. They have water treatment facility so you don't bother about hygiene. They have a suite Room also.If you want to relax this can be one of best option in srinagar.MesaStila: "Flavour of true and sweet Indonesia"
High level place, perfectly managed, top level food, wonderful garden and atmosphere, a rare sample of kindness from all the staff. All the forniture of the place is really antique. The pool view on the forest is unique.Thank you Mesastila.Sukoon Houseboat: "Beautiful houseboat on a beautiful lake"
The luxury and service on Sukoon far exceeded any expectations. The lovely carved wood panelling and the comfort of the ensuite bedroom had the feel of a five star hotel. So glad we had opted to stay for five nights to fully enjoy the peace and tranquility of living on board. We were able to sit on the deck where we took delicious meals and where the excellent chef cooked breakfast to our request. The snow capped mountains in the far background completed the scene. The small shikara boats provided a delightful way to explore the lake and take us ashore to explore Srinagar. I cannot recommend Sukoon highly enough over all other houseboats we got to see there. Can't wait to go back.Satri House: "Wonderful stay in a beautiful oasis"
"We loved our 3 night stay at Satri House. Hotel Manager Jacques and his staff were offering free drinks and canapés at the poolside bar on our first night at the hotel which made for a lovely first impression. We found the decor and service perfect throughout our stay. Sure, some staff didn't have perfect English but they made up for it with their friendliness and professionalism. All our requests were dealt with promptly and efficiently. If you're looking for ambience, comfort and tranquility, look no further. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"
