Tugu Malang: "Prachtig hotel met uitstekende voorzieningen en vriendelijk personeel"

Bij aankomst was meteen duidelijk dat dit niet zomaar een hotel is. Door de prachtige decoratie en authentieke inrichting is dit een van de mooiste hotels die we tijdens onze reis bezoeken. De kamers zijn luxueus en ruim. Het personeel is bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een echte aanrader voor de veeleisende vakantieganger. Met name de afternoon tea is erg leuk om wat te snoepen en leuke mensen te ontmoeten om gezellig mee te babbelen

David’s Kitchen: "Outstanding Experience and Service"

"We have never been to a restaurant that sent a car to collect us, whose owner introduced himself, e-mailed us the next day and sent a car to take us back to the hotel. The food itself was superb, modern European with an asian twist which was ambitious without being over pretentious. An interesting and good value wine list. Very tasteful setting with excellent interior design which was fresh and light. We liked the crisp appearance of the attentive and friendly staff. The set menu was good value. They managed a gluten free requirement with no fuss"

The Twelve Hotel: "Très bonne étape"

"Très bon accueil et très bel établissement! Rafraîchissement à l'arrivée, gentillesse et disponibilité en sus! Petit déjeuner extra (baguette, confiture de fruits de la passion et jolie salle) Enjoy"

Villa Song Saigon: "Compact Asian Luxury.. Absolutely fantastic hotel"

"We booked the same day we were to arrive given our initial hesitation to have Vietnam as destination for our long weekend escapade. We were amazed at the efficiency by which we were accommodated. The suites were booked for the night but a smaller room was instead alloted for us. It was topnotch from the pristine furnitures and fixtures to the vibrant yet impressively balanced art works. The following day we were transferred to the freed up art villa suite with an astonishing den overlooking the saigon river. The breakfast was eat all you can ala carte and the boutique hotel again exceeded our expectations. Personally this is where we had our best ever coffee experience and you can feel there was passion behind the creation of the food they serve. The hotel helped us book with the river sunset cruise. With the weather getting in the way of seeing the sunset, our guide ""Luke"" took us instead to the floating Pagoda and to a coconut drop off point where we had fresh young coconut juice that tastes even more heavenly than the ones we have in our very own beloved Philippines. This was the highlight of the vietnamese cultural education aspect of our trip having been immersed with our superbly fluent local guide who's versed with of course the country's current issues and its vibrant history. The attentive hot staff were promptly alert and each was attentively catering to our every tiny need. If you're after a compact yet very privately intimate vietnamese atmosphere fused with a strong french structural vibe, then you'd certainly feel like you struck gold with Villa Song. It heartfully made our vietnam trip an unforgettable success."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Invitation to a Country House"

"Understated elegance, unobtrusive service and superb comfort food using the best of local produce with a focus on the hill cuisines of north east India sums up the Glenburn experience. Glenburn effortlessly creates the ambience of a country house weekend, with the guests mingling easily over evening drinks followed by a communal dinner around a cosy dining table with the conversation flowing easily. I asked Holly (who along with Jemima manages this gem of a hotel with easy efficiency) whether they choose their guests and she replied that the guests choose themselves! This small eight suite boutique hotel near Darjeeling sits on a beautiful site overlooking Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. The suites are cosy and luxurious recreating the life style of the tea planters in their glory days. The estate, a working plantation, continues to produce the best of Darjeeling tea, and I would recommend even the hardiest of coffee drinkers ( I am one as well ) to forgo it while they are here and focus on imbibing some of the exquisite tea's produced by the estate. There are probably places where there may be better cuisine (though I would doubt it), more luxurious digs (I have yet to see them) and maybe a location better than this little piece of heaven; but it is really how everything, including the guests, comes together which makes Glenburn truly special. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

tugu bali: "Great service, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful property"

"Service was outstanding from my arrival until my departure. Wonderful welcome, complimentary welcome drink and afternoon tea with tasty cakes. Stayed in the Dedari suite which had a nice private pool and outdoor shower area, with a separate room for the toilet. Spacious room, comfortable bed, beautiful flowers, and a nice fruit basket. I cannot stress how wonderful and accommodating the staff was! Had plenty of help bringing all my bags to my room and also had a bicycle which I had forgotten was muddy from my long ride that day. I asked if they had a hose where I could wash it and they were kind enough to take it and wash it for me, have never had that type of service anywhere! Food was fabulous! Enjoyed the ""Royal Tugudom"" dinner experience, a ""Grand Ceremonial Dining of the Majapahit Kingdom"" with our own ceremony and huge feast in the ""Bale Puputan"" room. There were only 3 of us so it was way too much food, would have been better for a larger group of people, but what an experience it was! Got treated as royalty and more great service during dinner, was truly a great meal. Breakfast was wherever we wanted it- in our room, on the beach, inside, in the garden, really anywhere. We chose a shady spot in the garden which was perfect and had a nice breeze. Enjoyed the beach afterward and a nice dip in my room pool and the main hotel pool. Lots to enjoy at this hotel! Wish we had more time to explore the area and all the amenities and history of the hotel. To top off our great stay we received a departure fruit basket with water for each of us to enjoy on our drive to the airport. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for a great experience and wonderful stay! Hope to return one day... "

Villa Song Saigon: "Luxury in a crazy city"

We stayed 2 nights on our way to do Son Doong. This is a wonderful boutique hotel full of French charm. The pool, gym and rooms all well equipped. The breakfast by the river was a lovely start to the day you just wonder down anytime you like. We used the free sped boat to the city which we found easy and fun. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and the food was awesome together with fantastic service. My only complaint would be the restaurant just didn't have the same charm as the rest of this beautiful hotel.

THE SAMAR: "Ideal spot for exploring!"

"We stayed here for 5 days two days longer than planned but it was so nice here we stayed a couple of days longer. The room was class, very clean and of high quality good shower. Price wise we got a good deal, you can get cheaper and hunt all day long for the best price but we were very happy in that respect. We ate out a lot, breakfast was good just what we needed, good evening meals too, good local food which is what we are here for! Tuk tuks were easily available and the drivers were a right old laff, took us to all the best places to visit, nothing like a local to show you around the temples better than a guide book! All in all we had a fab time and would highly recommend Samar Villa to anyone, can't wait to come back!"

The River Resort: "Asian paradise"

"Exquisitely decorated with comfy beds, spacious bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower Full range of toiletries ,floor to ceiling windows over Mekong Two large pools with excellent restaurant all with great views Eco concious"

Tugu Bali: "Luxury Getaway Balinese style"

I returned to the Tugu 15 years after my first visit, and it remains a bastian of calm in a sea of tourists who are now expected in Bali. The dark wood and carvings are characteristic of Bali and perfect for someone looking for a Balinese style - not an American hotel. Food and service were top notch and delicious, and I noticed a few private rooms for private functions. We took beautiful pictures on the beach at sunset.
