Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Amazing Brunch"

The Brunch was amazing! Great setting, delicious food and perfect service! It was our second time here on a Sunday. We met locals who come often, and we have learned why. The owner Khun Poy and his team were awesome!

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Restful stay"

"We enjoyed our stay here very much. You can do as much or as little as you like. Our spacious room in the new bungalow faced onto the mountain ranges in the distance, over nearby Sikkim, and we could also look up to Darjeeling way above. We enjoyed our ""Bed"" coffee each morning. We visited Darjeeling, had a guided walk around the tea gardens plus walking there on our own, and a guided walk to the suspension bridge into Sikkim,followed by a very good lunch by the river. The food was very good in general, breakfast and lunch are served outside. We enjoyed the dinners in the old bungalow dining room with its huge table.Though communal dining may not be for everyone. Lovely place to stay, once you have arrived after the grim road trip there! Recommend timing flight in so that the drive doesn't need to be done in the dark. But worth it for a minimum 3 nights perhaps, we stayed for 5. Very much enjoyed our stay, a good end to a busy trip."

David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic meal and service"

"Myself and two friends visited David's kitchen on a Saturday night, we did not have a reservation but David was very happy to accommodate us. He took the time to ask us about our trip and what our plans were, while also giving us advice on other attractions and bars in the area. The food and service was amazing, the best we've eaten on our trip. The staff regulately enquired as to whether we needed anything. The chocolate souffle an tiramisu were the best we've ever had. The staff were all kind and attentive, really setting the experience apart. The personal touches and attentions really made a difference and added to a wonderful evening."

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Une excellente adresse"

In addition to being a beautiful place, everything is perfect with smile on all faces.The country side is beautiful with a lot of activities for kids and adults and places to visit. Make sure you find time to challenge the landlord on pool billard, she is very good !

Hotel Tugu Malang: "Amazing hotel amazing staff"

"Our stay at Tugu owned hotel in Blitar was our first introduction to the chain. Knowing little about the area prior to our arrival in Indonesia we thought we might as well stick with the same chain for our subsequent Malang visit and we are happy we did. We were utterly impressed by the quality which we think deserves some publicity for others to experience themselves, especially for travellers who seek out low key (read: reasonably priced) and independently owned boutique accommodation. From the moment we arrived until the time we departed friendly staff were around to ensure our comfort. Tugu hotels contain local history. But what stood out for us is how they made us feel comfortable. An early morning incident exemplified why our praise of the chain. Unbeknownst to the staff the team of a visiting official had a very loud sound system test at 3 in the morning across from the hotel. Upon inquiry staff was immediately on hand to relocate us to another room for a few hours of quiet rest. This was followed by numerous apologies by different staff we encountered next day in each corner of the premise. The ultimate apology was when we were upgraded to an incredible suite for our second night despite our assurance that we were alright in our original room. We travel extensively and stay at many different hotel/Airbnb accommodations. Such a response stands out and is cherished. And one more thing. On top of the great service they offer afternoon tea offering local tea and coffee and assortments of local sweets and treats. To us that’s what sweet memories are made of."

Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing"

"Very impressive! I had the most amazing stay! I was originally booked in for 2 nights I checked out only to return 2 hours later.. I spent the most idyllic 8 nights at the Seadance, I desperately needed to recharge. The resort is peaceful and calm. Every one knows your name and treats you like a friend not just a hotel guest.. Nothing was too much trouble, any request taken care of! I stay in hotels/resorts at least once a week for business the Sea Dance with its understated elegance out does many! Thank you to Faith, Helen,John and Danny You were all amazing! I very much enjoyed your company. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome, I was so sad to leave. I will be back again soon. Tina"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Superb food in beautiful setting"

I had lunch with friends and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful location, the impressive ambiance and the professional and extremely friendly service. Food was an adventure; beautiful, with surprises that pleased the palate. Not not cheap but worth every penny.

Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic"

In January, we stayed for two weeks at Villa Song, and to be honest, it was the best holiday we've had in years ! Of course, Saigon is a beautiful and interesting city, but staying at Villa Song was the cherry on te cake. Never have we seen such friendly staff who did way more than just their job to make our stay memorable. From reception to housekeeping, everyone always had a smile on their face and was eager to help. A special "thumbs up" for the ladies (and gentleman) at reception - you were great ! We love you ! Above that, the hotel itself is a little gem : beautiful, calm, impeccably clean and ideally located in the nice Thao Dien district, away from the noisy and busy city centre. A complementary boat shuttle made going for a stroll and visiting the old town centre super easy. And last but not least : the hotel also has a fantastic restaurant with great food - definitely worth a visit ! Villa Song will be seeing us again :-) ! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple

Reverie Siam Pai: "Impeccable service with Kind thoughts from Management"

"The location is situated with quiet surrounding beside the river with a brilliant idea to have a pouch with lots of cushions to rest and wild away your time. The rooms are very clean and concept is cleverly designed with lots of space. Bed is high up and very comfortable get to the town, there are shuttle buggies service so convenient for guests. Breakfast is very good except its should have more varieties like local food instead of western menu.Staffs have provided impeccable service and knows what you want most of the time and always ready to provide a service. But the most most impressive and remarkable intiative that the hotel have provided is their kind thoughts and consideration for the the guests. I have a very unfortunate bike accident coming up to Pai with my wife and this is the first time I do this and unfamiliar with the poor condition of the dangerous and 762 curves. The first thing I checked in at this hotel, the staff at reception asked me whether i need to go to the hospital and will provide transport anytime to my convenienences. My wife and me were so miserable as our holidays was ruined by my stupidity act of this accident and left us unable to ride and go to place of interests. Our low morals is lightened up when the hotel reception staff told us that the Management is willing to provide us a one day tour of places of interest that we wish to go. Such kind thoughts from the management have sincerely touch of heart and we are so lucky in this way that we have no regrets chose to stay in this hotel. My Wife and I wishes the Management and all staff good health and prosperity."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A place to die for!"

"Marcus, I said that and more in your guest book. It's very difficult to put into words what an absolutely spectacular place to spend a few days. Would have preferred the six. Wonderful welcome from all. Tea with home baking on arrival is a very good start. Pampering at best. Nothing was any bother. We didn't feel as though staying at a hotel. I know we were lucky weather wise. Breakfast with that view, oh boy, plus homemade bread. Cannot go wrong. My wildlife pics are thanks to Hari rather than me. He has good eyesight. My fellow travelers have the same opinion. We are still swapping pics. I said I would be back and I will. Perhaps not with the same tour operator as, yes, itinerary has changed. Very many thanks to you and the boys. Also my cake and pressie"
