Mathis Retreat: "Stunning"

We only had two nights in Ubud at the end of our two week Bali holiday but I wish we had longer at Kenanga. What a beautiful peaceful hotel. Amazing rooms, helpful staff and such a nice private location. Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The Island Lodge: "A quaint oasis in the Mekong Delta"

We booked to stay at The Island Lodge for 4 nights in May 2016. After travelling through Vietnam from Hanoi and the North, and steadily heading south, we spent a couple of days in Saigon before going to the Mekong. Michel kindly arranged transfers for us from Saigon well before we left for our trip, and all went to plan. We drove down but you can get there by boat as well. It was just the perfect relax-a vous place after the hectic touring of cities. Our room overlooking the pool was excellent, and the staff were lovely, and tree so hard to please us, even though their English was not perfect- however much more perfect than our Vietnamese! It's a charming small resort, and we went on a personal tour with Michel on bikes along some amazing tracks we'd never find on our own, for around 3 hours, on the Ferry and through little villages with everyone saying hello along the way. It was a really unique and bespoke tour and Michel was the perfect host along the way. Food was great and we couldn't have been better looked after. If you are into small hotels which are well run, but offer something deferent to the big internationals, you'll love this place. It only has 12 rooms, so that'll give you an idea of how boutique it is.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "outstanding"

A peaceful, comforatble place in which to be restored. A wonderful beach and a great sea of small, and very warm, waves for the children to bound in. The food here is the best of India, the servants unobtrusive but caring. The tailor in the shop makes excellent clothes in a night. One of the best places we have found.

Rachamankha: "A haven of peace and tranquillity"

"Simply stunning hotel - design, decoration and the gardens. All these coupled with the good service made our experience an exceptional one. Breakfast at the beautiful courtyard was a great start to each day. And dinner at the hotel restaurant was accompanied by live lanna music - soothing and relaxing. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wishes to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will be back!"

MAISONS WAT KOR: "Relax and enjoy"

Spacious Cambodian style rooms with excellent amenities set in lush tropical gardens. Staff could not have been more helpful. A little out of town, but no problems with arranging transport. Nice pool. Good breakfast. Nice to sit out on the balcony of the room and enjoy the setting.

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "First Class Food"

Great restaurant in Siem Reap. World class food. just excellent. highly recommended. if you are in SR you should def go here.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Amazing and relaxing stay"

"Slow Private Pool Villas was amazing. Service is stupendous from our luggage to in villa breakfast. Loved our stay. We were relaxed and didn't want to leave our villa. They offer to do everything for you including ordering food to their bike rentals onsite. The spa is amazing! Well worth it. We ended up doing a 2.5 hour massage and facial and it was glorious. Everything was very relaxing. The only thing I would recommend would be their manicure service. They did my manicure right out there in the front lobby of the spa. There is no dedicated / relaxing room used for the manicures so that was a bummer. Another con is that it's not as close to the beach as other accommodations. It's about a 10 min walk but being far from the beach has its advantages to a peaceful getaway. Room is fabulous. Outdoor showers which are amazing. Decor is lovely. Bed faces the outdoor pool. Large sliding doors that you can open all the way so that it feels as if the bedroom is one with the outdoor pool. Otherwise, lovely stay. We would come back! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Sukoon Houseboat: "Splendid, luxurious, perfect spot to start travel through North of India"

"A couple of days on Sukoon prepared us for an extraordinary trip through Kashmir, Zanskar and Ladakh. Fine, not too spicy high cuisine, served on the roof... Ideal place to get a rest after the heat of Srinagar and surrounding visits. Very helpful, friendly crew, treating the guests like royalties. For us, travellers with the group of Explore the Himalaya, this place meant the changeover from a stressed mind to a first feeling of piece of mind. If I had been into yoga, I would have found a terrific spot in the early mornings... Instead, I enjoyed the coffee(s) on the covered roof terrace with some members of the group to chill out to let all impressions of the day sink (and be checked on my camera). If there is one thing I regretted, it's the fact you cannot swim in the lake as it is not safe for us and somewhat polluted(although that is being worked at I read). To conclude, this is the best spot to stay over while visiting this area, wether by boat, taxi or hiking! Enjoy! "

Sukoon Houseboat: "Sukoon… Peace of mind"

"Happened to stay at sukoon for one night. Houseboat is located in one corner of dal lake and it rightfully earns it's name ""sukoon"". All I can hear was birds chirping, occasional ripples of water caused due to shikara and ofcourse my baby girl commenting in her coded language. You will find an amazing team who amongst themselves can communicate in total 10 Indian languages. Give a free hand to chef Anand who can experiment and amaze you with his culinary skills. Try Kashmiri bread with butter and apple cinnamon jam. For travellers who would like to watch TV this place would disappoint you as in principle it's against the theme. For history lovers make sure to read a letter from the office of Neil Armstrong dated 1972. A vote of thanks to tariq, kiran, azad and Anand for their wonderful hospitality. "

The Hue House: "Amazing and Excellent Value"

"We look for a restaurant Close to our hotel and this was one of 6. It had excellent reviews and we wholly endorse that view. We were warmly greeted and looked after by friendly smiling staff. Who were keen to serve but not over attentive in doing so, just as we preferred. The choice of food was traditional/regional Vietnamese and was superb. Excellent appetisers and main courses This is a little gem and not that busy probably because it is accessed via a main office building reception. Located on the 10th floor it enjoys commanding views over the city. Highly recommended."
