Sandat Glamping Tents: "Exceptionnal"

Eco hotel, peacefull. You feel the passion of the owners in every corner. Far from excessive touristic part of ubud, relax and enjoy the nature. Amazing architecture made mainly with bamboo. Limited menu but tasty and fresh. Only 8 room guaranty privacy. An unique expérience...

Dewakan: "A culinary adventure"

"It's definitely a trek to get there but the reward far outweighs the hassle! Finally in Malaysia a restaurant brave enough to march to its own tune. Dewakan embodies everything that Malaysians have always known about with regards to flavours and ingredients but has never been able to harness. Here the true beauty of Malaysian food at its highest standard is served with pride. I can rave about each individual dish but I will let the photos speak in my stead. Speaking to Chef Darren Teoh, the passion and dedication to produce the best is clearly evident. Dewakan is clearly in uncharted waters but its upward trajectory is plainly evident. I look forward to many more meals there."

The Hue House: "Incredible evening on a stormy night"

What a little gem of a rooftop restaurant. Our family of 4 really enjoyed the friendly and attentive service, delicious food and natures sound and light show. Highly recommended.

Mathis Retreat: "Lovely boutique hotel – perfect hideaway"

"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!"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Surreal floating paradise"

"From the first second you round the bend on the boat and 4 Rivers Floating Lodge comes into view, you know you are in for something special! You meet the boat in Tatai and it is a short and tranquil trip to the lodge. Once there you are warmly welcomed by Adonis and a cool drink. There are only 12 tents, 6 on each side of the restaurant area, so it is always peaceful and relaxed. The tents are amazing! I have stayed in many hotels which are no where near as amazing as this! You have your own patio area with a ladder directly into the river. The river it's self is clean and deep, perfect for swimming. The current was not too strong. They have kayak's and tubes if you want to go for a paddle or float. We stayed here for 6 nights and there is plenty to do whether you want to relax or take excursions. (...) There are books available to read and DVD's if you feel like kicking back with a movie in your room. There is no WIFI here, but seriously, you won't miss it! I highly recommend the sunset cruise! The staff at the lodge are amazing, they are always happy to help with anything and are always happy and smiling. We would really like to thank Adonis and all the staff for such a magical stay."

Locavore: "Outstanding"

"We chose to have the 5 course degustation menu with accompanying cocktails for each course. While we may have had some reservation about having cocktails instead of matching wine, they were a revelation! While we were waiting for our meal to begin we were stunned to be served with SEVEN 'amuse bouche' dishes prior to this. All were outstanding and each was described to us in detail by a member of the staff - sometimes a waitress but often one of the cooks - including the head chef. In a similar vein - the 1 dessert course actually ended up being a 'pre-dessert', main dessert, and then about 3 'post desserts'. All the dishes were of a very high standard with interesting combinations and flavours. The open kitchen allows you to observe the staff preparing the food - all in a seemingly tranquil manner. Service was outstanding and we waddled out after almost 3 hours, overwhelmed by the experience. Even though it is reasonably pricey compared to other restaurants in Bali (~US$150pp including drinks), it is well worth it."

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Very enjoyable stay"

We stayed here as we were wanting to stay somewhere environmentally aware & we were very happy with the camp etc. The meals we're fantastic, the chef was really to be commended he did a fabulous job. The one observation I would make is that the safaris are focused on finding leopards as you would expect, so if you are interested in viewing other animals speak up. Overall a great experience.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "bliss"

We arrived at this beautiful place after a bumpy but breathtaking 6 hour drive from sikkim. . Faye, Will and Alex were there on the door step to greet us and we instantly felt like one of the family. The other guests were great fun..... mostly..... and it was really lovely to sit around the group table for dinner and listen to everyones travel stories. The food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. I have a fabulous massage in the little spa and the therapist eased away my aches and pains. Gin and tonics on the terrace overlooking the mountains and it really felt like a scene from Indian Summers. The rooms are gorgeous and after a week of homestays etc the beds were Bliss! There is a lot to do there and the staff are great at organising anything tailormade to suit your requirements. We went on to stay at the Tollygunge in Kolkata that they recommend and that was great in a completely different way. I could not recommend this wonderful hotel highly enough. i felt totally spoilt and loathe to leave Thanks again to Faye and the team for all their help. Room Tip: the one with the spanish wood four poster bed!

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"
