Tugu Malang: "Excellent service!!!"

"The Tugu hotel is a hotel, but at the same time it's also a museum. We stayed here for 2 nights and we had an amazing experience. Because of the low season we could choose our room. The staff was incredible. No question was ever too much to answer and everything was arranged with a smile. Every staff member knew our name and the small talks during breakfast and dinner gave our stay a personal touch. When you stay at the hotel you get a free tour of the hotel/museum and a good explanation of all the artifacts. For us this was a nice bonus, because it helps you understanding some of the history of Java. There are spa facilities and we've booked the 4 hour couples retreat. It was very relaxing: massage, bath with fresh rose petals, scrubbing, manicure, pedicure, washing en drying our hair, tea,... and after all that (really took 4 hours) there was a 4 course dinner, again with some personal touches (all included in the price). What can I say about the food? One word: super! There are so many things to choose from for breakfast and dinner. Local food, street food, western food, chinese food,... Last but not least is the Tea Time Experience in the afternoon. Every day between 16pm and 17pm (or 18pm) you can enjoy a nice cup of tea with fresh made Indonesian snacks. If you stay at the hotel you should certainly try it once. Kept all things in mind this hotel is one of our top 3 of all the hotels we've been in the world! I certainly hope to visit this hotel in the future during one of our next journeys. Thanks to the staff for making this a very pleasant stay. Joni & Jens (J&J)"

David’s Kitchen: "Best experience in Chiang Mai"

We went to DK to celebrate our honeymoon... since the beginning the staff was very nice, they set us up a table for "honeymooners" with roses and a special card signed by David and his wife. The food was excellent!!!! Every single plate we ate. David arrived to our table and was very kind and friendly to us, we even took a picture with him!! His wife is very nice too. We highly recommend David's Kitchen

Manda De Laos: "Great food, stunning location"

"This place serves great food, but the view is simply out of this world. Sit by the pool if you can. The staff spoke excellent English and the management is French. Their professionalism shows. This simply is an excellent choice to eat great food and make happy memories."

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "A little slice of heaven in bustling Bangkok"

A small hotel providing 2 and 3 bedroom self catering apartments, appropriate for small families. Very friendly staff and very good service. Located close to shopping facilities and the BTS train services.

Dewakan: "A culinary gem"

Heard about this place from friends n social media so decided to give it a try. Wow! Love love love. From the moment we walked in until we walked out, the experience was memorable. Food was excellent n service was top notch. Only setback is the distance. Truly a culinary gem.

Satri House: "Fabulous hotel, charming and comfortable"

We spent 5 days with our 3 kids aged 10, 12, 14. I prefered Satri to the more expensive 5 stars hotels. Indeed, we found Satri house to be more charming because of the traditional asian style and the tropical garden. The hotel is also very comfortable with good amenities, wifi, and pool. The restaurant has both asian and french and is excellent. Good service also. Some small improvement ideas include mosquito net on the window, a place to dry cloth, more hot waters (only 1 bath capacity now)... but still fantastic hotel, highly recommended

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Loved it!"

This hotel is just a 2 min boat trip across the river from its sister hotel Apsara in the old town. You just drop by at their receptions and tell them you whenever you need to cross. Very convenient. Apsara Rive Droite is a little gem with a pool, a nice garden, beautiful rooms and a pleasant little restaurant and bar. The hotel manager (Hann) is the perfect host with his friendly, yet professional style. Even if the hotel is just two minutes by boat fron the old town, it is located in a less touristy area. I quite enjoyed strolling i this neighbourhood too as it gave glimpses into laotian everyday life. This includes the morning alm cermony that takes place on the road just outside the hotel.

Mume: "Great all around experience"

MUME clearly deserves to be ranked in asia's top 50 restaurants as its creative menu, intimate settings, and enthusiastic staff. The food itself is very reasonable for the quality level and we loved the atmosphere and creative cocktails that were offered up by the top notch staff. Moreover, we found the setting warm and for this level of service they managed to avoid some of the usual pompous pitfalls of other fine dining restaurants in town. In short, it was our best meal in Taipei and I would strongly recommend booking in advance for anyone planning to visit Taiwan

Tugu Lombok: "A truly magical place"

"As someone who seen many many hotels cities, countries and places I can truly say that this hotel left an ever lasting positive impression in my head. A secluded serene place of beauty. Ideal for romantic getaways or personal getaway from noise, crowds and hustle. Extremely attentive staff. Great spa and an overall warm place to reconnect with your inner self."

Talabgaon Castle Heritage Resort: "Lovely stay"

We had a great stay at this property. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the castle itself is quite lovely. The food was enjoyable and dinner was served around the pool area. Each table had a bon fire which added to the atmosphere and was very effective in keeping us warm on a cold winters evening. We enjoyed a walk around the local village in the late afternoon. It was very authentic and the local kids were cute. We didn't see the need to go on the camel ride around the area. The service was extremely attentive, bordering on overbearing. That would be my only (minor) criticism. The staff seemed overly desperate for tips and we felt that there was constant pressure on us to put our hand in our pocket. The rates for this hotel were very high at the time we visited (it was peak season) and we tipped generously but still felt that we hadn't given enough. We wonder what the staff are paid. It made us feel a bit edgy during our stay. Overall though I would recommend a night at this place. It was enjoyable stay and the peace and quiet was a welcome relief from the chaos of Jaipur.
