Glenburn Tea Estate: "Absolute gem in the Himalayas"

"My mum and I spent a wonderful, serene few days at Glenburn and we absolutely loved it. Each (huge) room was quaint and charming in old Colonial style, all with their own unique theme - ours was the Rose Room. We went at the recommendation of two friends, who also stayed at Glenburn together with us, and we even made new friends over the communal dinner table. The staff were helpful with everything from making a cup of the delicious home grown tea to organising hikes and day trips. They prepared three meals a day, of various Indian and western cuisines, and even packed delicious picnics that were brought to us on our hikes. They were also very accommodating with food allergies. The surrounding gardens and tea plantations are absolutely exquisite, and it is definitely worth going on hikes around the area, especially the hikes down to the river through Darjeeling's own plantation, and up through the local village to the neighbouring plantations in Kalimpong. There is free wifi but the signal isn't too strong in the rooms - leave the laptop behind and bring a couple of books to read while soaking in the view on the terrace. Be prepared for an extremely bumpy and windy ride from Bagdogra airport. If you are at all prone to motion sickness then I would strongly recommend bringing a motion sickness armband or tablets, and ask the driver to take the calmer road through Darjeeling town rather than the precarious ""highway"" that passes the Bhutanese border."

Cuca: "Glorious food!!"

The taste of the foods is so delicious that you can feel the passion and creative of the chef from each bite. Modern loungy restaurant with great dishes and amazing tastes. Not to mention friendly staff with well demonstrated knowledge and enthusiasm for the food. It is really a great place that you must visit at Bali!!

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "A brilliant stay at the Cabochon Hotel"

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Cabochon Hotel and already cannot wait to return. A 5-10 minute walk from Phrom Phong BTS station off Sukhumvit- the location was ideal. Close to public transport, restaurants and shopping. The hotel is incredibly beautiful and filled with antiques and interesting things to look at. It was wonderful to return to such a calm and quiet space after a busy day out in the city. We stayed in a studio room and found it to be perfectly adequate for our needs. The bed and linen was comfortable, the air conditioning great and the general design of the room and furniture extremely chic. Breakfast is served from 7:00am to 10:00pm and we loved the continental buffet as well as the a la carte choices which included both Asian and Western options. The staff are extremely friendly and couldn't help us enough. They answered all our questions and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We will definitely stay at the Cabochon on our future visits to Bangkok and will be telling all our friends and family about it too!

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Final leg of India tour"

This eco resort is a gem. We've spent two weeks touring Rajasthan and came here for some r&r at the end of the trip. Our bungalow is gorgeous, iPod dock with Bose speakers so we've listened to a lovely bit of jazz every evening before dinner. Enjoyed sunsets, swimming in the sea, watching fishermen and eating fabulous food. We've found prices here to be very reasonable and the resort has a lovely shop which is very good value. Staff can't do enough to make your stay more enjoyable so have made the effort, for once, to give them an excellent review on Trip advisor.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Best view and yummy food"

We booked the table on the email roughly one month before the event. We get the nice table and the food was so fantastically nice, well blend and so smooth. We were so impressed and amused by the view of Arun temple. The price is nice and we get quite satisfy with all!!!

Inle Princess Resort: "Magique"

"Hors du temps, vous arrivez forcément en pirogue dans cet hotel majestueux ou le personnel vous accueille sur un quai devant la réception. C'est Venise en Asie avec moins de touristes et plus de confidentialité. Puis on vous accompagne dans votre villa sur pilotis sur le lac. La chambre est très grande avec un coin salon, une cheminée et un lit immense. Grande salle de bain avec wc séparés, douche a l'exterieur et baignoire a l'intérieur. Petits déjeuners servis en chambre ou au restaurant face au lac Inle. Vue magnifique, excellent choix de mets servis. Restaurant très abordables environ 8€ les plats et d'une grande finesse, les produits viennent du jardin bio de l'hotel. Vous êtes dans l'éco-tourisme ou aucun plastique n'est utilisé. Belle piscine et étonnant Spa au milieu de la végétation et sur pilotis. Personnel très compétant et toujours souriant, disponible et a votre écoute. C'est d'ailleurs lui qui gère tout, car on ne voit jamais personne de la direction... Room service 24/24. Toutes sortes d'excursions possible sur le lac et dans les villages environnants. A ne pas louper si vous voulez passer au Lac Inle. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Village House: "Amazing retreat"

"We stayed at the Village House on 9th July for 3 nights. What can I say about this place, everything was great. The layout and decor is first grade and has the real feel of a relaxing yoga retreat. If you want 2 or 3 days simply to unwind and kick back in a rural setting with the soothing sounds of running water lapping over the pool then this is the place for you. We both fell asleep within minutes of arriving due to the relaxing ambience of the place. The food was excellent. Every one of our meals was delicious. The staff were very attentive and helpful in booking excursions or transport. There are a few good places to visit nearby. The Wetlands national park and Sarawak Cultural Village are on the doorstep and both well worth a visit. One thing to note though is that the hotel stands very much on its own without any restaurants or shops nearby (not that it matters with the good food on offer) so this is definitely a short stay place to recharge the batteries."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Beautiful place on a dream island"

Slow Gili Air is a true blissful place. From check-in tot check-out, the staff makes sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay without interrupting your privacy. The villas are spacious, with a kitchen, and a huge private garden, but the best part is the private pool and the outdoor bathroom! From the resort it's just a short walk to the beaches in the west and north of the island, and the staff gave us a handy map to explore Gili Air. Slow has bicycles for rent, though the quality of those aren't that great. But since Gili Air has many sandy paths and it's a pretty small island, you won't be needing a bicycle anyway. All in all, Slow is highly recommended and we'd love to come back.

Mathis Retreat: "Lo mejor del viaje"

"The site is wonderful, the extra staff helpful and amiable, the room was a small village with great privacy despite being next to the pool and restaurant. Life takes a different pace being there. Rice paddies, duck, peasants tilling the fields, the sunsets ... film. The very new room had every comfort, a spectacular tub and a huge, new shower. Hopefully we can come back some other time. Super recommended! "

Tugu Bali: "The Best Bali Experience"

I've been coming to Bali for 30 years and this is by far the best Hotel I've stayed in. We originally booked for 4 nights and ended up staying for close to 3 weeks? Staff are exceptional, the location is amazing and the rooms are full of character. The X- Large bed is very comfortable and the attention to detail throughout the entire hotel is a reflection of the Management and staffs commitment in providing a memorable experience. Cannot recommend this Hotel more highly.
