Guest Reviews

Tugu Bali: "Idyllic"

"This is a serene and gracious hotel, filled with beautiful examples of Indonesian art and culture. So, while we went there for peace and relaxation, we enjoyed an introduction to the history and habits of Indonesia. The entire staff was always accommodating and always smiling -- from the manager Jenny to the welcoming personnel to the dining staff to the massage therapists. They all made us feel special and comfortable and at home. The dining experiences were more than I had expected. Japanese, Chinese, traditional Indonesian dishes were so delicious and beautifully presented. The spa treatments were luxurious and superb! And it seemed the gardens enveloped me in their calm and beauty. This is one of those very special hotels in the world that I will always remember."

Sukoon Houseboa: "Dont Miss it"

"We had heard lots of bad things about stay in HouseBoats and had finally decided to skip this experience. But thanks to our travel agent who forced us book this place. I just have one Word for the houseboat ""AWESOME""!!! The houseboat is extra clean with no foul odor. The service is top notch! The food was excellent (bit slow in serving) They have well trained staff and could feel the difference with the way they treated people. The Deck was nice and had a very good view. We regret staying for only 1 day, and would surely return for a longer stay. Thanks to the staff of Sukoon for making this a pleasurable experience, was truly the best part of our Kashmir trip."

Rachamankha: "Really beautiful hotel in a nice location"

First of all, this hotel really takes me back in time with a Chinese courtyard style layout which oozes culture and character. Sitting in the chairs in the common area, I felt like I was in a different era enjoying a slow afternoon tea. Hidden in a quiet secluded corner of the Chiang Mai old town, it was the perfect place to be after the craziness of Bangkok. The location of hotel is very convenient to all the temples and the night markets. The hotel restaurant offered very tasty breakfast and dinner.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Wonderful hotel with first-class service from friendly staff"

"Everything about the Aspara Rive Droitte is just right. Mr Ai and Mr Hann (the management team) and Mr Ivan (the owner) went out of their way to make our stay wonderful and all the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, with the hotel's dedicated Aspara Queen taking 60 seconds to cross the Nam Khan and deliver you to the heart of Luang Prabang - and, conversely, escape to the more serene side of the Nam Khan. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and breakfast wonderful. The pool is a welcome relief from the heat of Laos, with the bar just a few steps away. After 5 days at this home-from-home, we were sad to leave. We hope to go back"

Mie Cafe: "Chef’s recommendation"

We ended up trying this restaurant from the recommendation of the head chef of Lecuisine Wat Damnak (another review), and we loved it. Cozy fine dining restaurant, where we ended up trying some of the a la carte dishes instead of the degustation menu. Really enjoyed the food (new Khmer dishes) and atmosphere, and even despite a heavy rainstorm, which caused a semi-flood in the outdoor seating area. Made it extra cozy.

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent food, service and atmosphere."

I was visiting Chiang Mai for a short weekend and read about this restaurant online. Reservations were made easily online and followed up by email. The restaurant was easy to find but location change across the river. The restaurant is beautiful inside with a very cozy atmosphere. There was a live piano during my dinner, which was nice. David personally came and greeted every table. He stayed by my table for a bit because I was alone and made me feel at home. The food was exquisite. I had a raw salmon appetizer, lobster bisque, and lamb chops - all of which I would recommend. David suggested a restaurant for lunch the following day and sent me a very detailed and warm thank you email the following morning. Thank you David!

Rak Ko Jae Hahoe: "Best place to immerse in Hahoe culture and to see “Rope fireworks” up close"

This small very well equipped traditional guesthouse in the traditional village is next to the river where we saw the spectacular "Rope fireworks" for the first time in our life. This village can be reached by public bus from Andong or a 30 minute taxi ride. Andong is very well connected to all major cities by excellent non-stop buses. Mr Kim at RakKoJae Reservations helped us a lot with prompt responses during planning. All equipment including WiFi and bathroom fixtures worked perfectly. The attendant was a very helpful lady. Breakfast was great. A small restaurant next door serves sandwich and bear till late. This is in a traditional village where people live, work and attend religious ceremonies. Outside the village there are shops, restaurant, museum and bus stop. JW Marriott from Seoul suggested this great stop on our two week trip to South Korea. We have traveled to many more than one hundred countries. We were fortunate to get a room. This guesthouse has only four rooms. they fill in fast.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "At home in the jungle"

I had an outstanding stay at this Safari camp 2 weeks ago. The staff treated us like royalty, making sure every single detail of my stay was perfection. I had the privilege of being hosted by Noel and Cecile, the owners, and had equally great attention from all of the other staff in their absence. The safari guides, Sanj, Damian and Prameet all went the extra mile to ensure our visits were full of wildlife sightings, all knowledgeable in the flora and fauna seen. The food served at each meal is fantastic and abundant. The accommodations are appropriately rustic and comfortable. Can't wait to go back!

Satri House: "A treasure"

We stayed at the Satri House for 4 nights. It is a former royal residence and one can experience the elegance of the former time. The hotel was recently renovated while in keeping with this charm. Our room was large and well-appointed - the rooms spread out among the beautiful grounds. The overall atmosphere is calming with a lovely dining area and reception rooms . The staff are very helpful and courteous. They genuinely want to be sure that you enjoy your stay.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Hotel with an atmosphere"

"Cabochon Hotel is a hidden gem! A hotel with great service and unique atmosphere!. We spent 4 nights with our 3 young boys and everything was delightful, from check-in to assistance in dealing with activities, to great food. We enjoyed a 2 interconnecting bedroom which was ideal for the family. Swimming pool on the roof is the cherry on the cake and works really well with kids! Thanks again to the whole staff for making our stay in Bangkok a fantastic experience! Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"
