Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Highly Recommended"

Review by: Burd R | Source: Trip Advisor
The resort is located in local village just about 10 mins drive to the famous Bamboo train and downtown. Lush tropical garden with big beautiful lotus pond and the traditional wooden houses made a perfect combination that create a sense of peace and relaxation. The room is very clean, cozy and comfortable. Free high speed WIFI in room and public area. Highly recommended for couple, family and individuals looking for good resort, privacy and cultural experience in Battambong. Will sure to stay there again if we retur

Mathis Retreat: "Lovely boutique hotel – perfect hideaway"

Review by: Sylviaswau | Source: Trip Advisor
"I stayed here for a week and I miss it everyday! For the first part of the week, it was me and a girlfriend who came to Ubud to get away from the city, do a little exploring and do some yoga. We weren't sure if we wanted to stay in Ubud the whole time or go somewhere else in Bali, but after two nights, we extended our stay. One of our favourite things was having breakfast looking at out the private rice fields every morning, it was so relaxing. The pool had the perfect view. The hotel had a really good balance between a tranquil relaxed vibe, without being sleepy, and had some really good tunes throughout the day by the pool too (I ended up asking them for their playlist).The hotel was just a 10 minute scooter ride into town, which meant everything was really accessible without it being crazy all the time. My friend ended up going home early and I stayed on for an extra 2 days. The staff took such good care of me. And as a solo female traveler, safety is extremely important. They was so lovely and even taught me some Indonesian. The GM was super lovely and very hands on, she would come by and chat with the guests, without being intrusive. It was such a wonderful trip and the hotel was a huge part of it. Seriously, great rooms, great resto (really good food!), great view and great staff. I would definitely come back!"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "The perfect break!"

Review by: 192Lynne192 | Source: Trip Advisor
Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge provided the perfect break from the rush, noise and dust in city life in Nepal. From the moment you arrive the staff are attentive and provide helpful information in a non intrusive way. The rooms, each a cottage on its own, are spacious, comfortable and every need is catered for. Early morning views of the mountains are spectacular and visible from each of the rooms. The food is so good at each meal, individual needs having been taken into account, it is worth losing a bit of weight before staying there. A place to be returned to.

villa mathis: "Impeccable service in a stunning location"

Review by: Fred w | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I stayed overnight at Villa Mathis (lombok room). The room is huge and very beautiful. The decor is sumptuous. My room had an office desk, which is perfect for laptop (work). The restaurant and the gardens/houses are interesting : there are statues, curtains, giant chairs and stone chess boards, as well as reading areas. - So much space!! The gardens are impeccably manicured. The staff is experienced but at the same time they are discreet. Breakfast is huge (too much:) and they have decent coffee. The bungalows are in what they call a ""villa""; grouped around a pool and open space living area. And everywhere you look, you can discover museum-like items.I didn't venture into the other areas but I understand that each bungalow is different. I was in an area called ""maison rouge"". Definitely a great romantic hotel. "

The Island Lodge: "A great and cosy place to recharge ones batteries"

Review by: kma910 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a short stay in The Island Lodge from 8th to 10th of April - I can say, a great finding! It made us extend our stay right after the first three hours on Michels premises. For us, since we were looking for a quiet place away from the busy days in Ho Chi Minh City, it was an excellent option. It was a great experience in all aspect. You will find a very idyllic small road leading to the west-end of Thoi Son island followed by a small path guiding to the entrance of the resort. A beautiful, silent place, which was obviously built and choosen by someone paying a lot of attention to details, will appear. Rooms are very clean and harmonic, the staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive, food and service met our expectations. Overall a very cosy atmosphere - a place to recharge ones batteries :)"

Poring Hot Spring Nature Reserve: "Gorgeous Lodge"

Review by: RVESydney_Australia | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed in the River lodge. OK, so the small water tank doesn't enable you to have a deep bath, but that didn't bother us. 2 great bedrooms, 2 enormous bathrooms, 3 sitting decks, 2 separate sittings areas, good air con and cable TV. Right next to river and entrance to the nature reserve. No internet but there is some at the resort restaurant (although not fast). Better wifi at Round Inn cafe near the car park (2min walk away). Staff were very professional and friendly. Additional service offered to see Rafflesia flower if one is blooming nearby. A guide drove us less than 10 mins to see one on a local fruit farm. RM30 each is a bit steep but it's a rare opportunity and hopefully it encourages the locals to nurture these amazing flowers."

Inle Princess Resort: "Très bel Etablissement"

Review by: JLDAUBIGNY | Source: Trip Advisor
Magnifique Etablissement sur le lac Inle... l'arrivée en bateau magique. Le service est impeccable, la chambre très spacieuse avec vue sur le lac était magnifique, confortable voir luxueuse; (normalement nous avions une chambre vue Montagne, mais l'Hôtel n'étant pas complet puisqu'étant en basse saison, nous avons été upgradés en vue sur le lac :-) , ce qui est très commercial.... Le restaurant était excellent avec un personnel aux petits soins (seul bémol: le nuit des pêcheurs braconniers viennent rôder autour de l'hôtel et nous avons été réveillés par une joute entre gardes de sécurité de l'hôtel et braconniers, ce qui nous a fait très peur et nous à empêcher de dormir pour le reste de la nuit)

Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song: a wonderful Art Deco hotel occupying a quiet position on the banks of the Saigon river"

Review by: Richard C | Source: Trip Advisor
Great hotel, great food (apart from breakfast, which was average), fantastic bedroom and really helpful staff. Annoying niggly problems with signing bills and a trainee at breakfast barely understood English. Nice free mini-bar in room, with water, soft drinks and beer.

Review by: nigelwelch | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a great stay here. The best bed we have ever had in a hotel.A lovely tranquil place on the river. Very friendly staff, nice rooms and public areas. Excellent breakfast and dinner. In district 2 about 30 mins from the centre of town. Regular free boat service in to town. A perfect place to stay just a little way from a very busy, noisy and bustling city. Would love to go back "
