4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Amazing ,seculded art of the world"

Review by: Jo T T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Unique part of our holiday - the team service, smiles and activities are exceptional The glam-tents accomdation provide a location that is remote and provides eceptional insight into a ruggedly beautiful art of Cambodia. We highly recommend a minimum night stay to breath in and be art of this secial environment - Cambodia has so much more to offer in terms of natural beauty and environment luxury and Uniqueness than Angor Wat"

Maison Polanka: "Our favourite place ever!"

Review by: JB_and_MB_in_L | Source: Trip Advisor
We have never enjoyed a place to stay - anywhere we have travelled - more than Maison Polanka. This is like staying in someone's home - or the home you might dream about having one day. With large, beautiful gardens and an elegant swimming pool, but only a handful of rooms so it's very peaceful never feels crowded even with other guests around. We also had the best Cambodian food of our trip in their restaurant, which is really just a few tables outside by the pool, but outshone anywhere else we ate. Off menu, they were kind enough to make a special noodle soup (nom banh chok) one day for us for lunch - it was delicious and worth making a special request for (in advance). We stayed in the Khmer House as a treat, and it was beautiful and spacious, though I think anyone would be happy with any of the rooms they have. But the best part of Maison Polanka are the people who work there who are warm, welcoming and willing to help with everything, from tour planning, surprise afternoon cakes by the pool, and a wonderfully memorable trip to the Road 60 night market for a dinner of insects, stuffed frogs and other more familiar foods! Our thanks in particular to Cathy, Chan, and Vong! Don't bother looking anywhere else in Siem Reap, just stay here!

Villa Song Saigon: "Great stay"

Review by: Francois W | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a very pleasurable stay at the Villa Song. The hotel is beautiful and clean, located in the quieter district 2, by the Saigon river. Staff is more than helpful (restaurant booking and recommendation, helped us a lot on various occasion, if possible they will let you have early check-in and late check-out, etc). Breakfast in the garden by the river is delicious, great choice of dishes. Last but not least, the boat shuttle to downtown Saigon is an amazing experience, gives you kind of a James Bond feeling cruising on the river. Highly recommended stay!

Tugu Bali: "Authentic Bali"

Review by: astridfashion | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hidden juwel is decorated with the most beautiful antiques from Ancient Indonesia, lots of lush greens and an extremely helpfull staff, and the best in room dining experience - really amazing - order the nasi campur, and you will be happy. I stayed in a small villa with a private pool and was happy."

Mathis Retreat: "Wonderful place"

Review by: 749alexandre | Source: Trip Advisor
Spent 3 nights with my wife at Mathis Ubud. The view of the rice field is wonderful. They also have ducks just in front of the restaurant which makes the scenery alive. This place reflect the true Bali. The rooms are big and very well maintained, very quiet as well. If back in Ubud I would go back there for sure. If you are looking to see the real Bali, this is the place where to go.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Made our honeymoon memorable"

Review by: Daniella A | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 5 days of our honeymoon here and enjoyed every second! The staff were super helpful and friendly, providing detailed maps with places to go and eat - they even packed us a lunchbox for a day trip to Lombok. The room itself is very clean, bed comfy and all amenities great - loved the outdoor shower! Being able to hire bikes is a great idea (although I think this should be a free service). The breakfasts are amazing! So much choice and was delicious (those crepes!), and room service/delivery for those rainy days was handy. Overall we can't fault Slow Villas in any way. I would definitely stay again when visiting Gili Air. Thank you!"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Was beyond anything I couldve hoped for"

Review by: Olivia C | Source: Trip Advisor
Of the many places I have stayed I have never come across such helpful, friendly staff who are always smiling. The owner has picked some great people to work here. The accomodation is amazing. The location is beyond amazing. While we stayed it was my partners 30th birthday and the team arranged a fantastic private dinner. They even baked a cake! They went above and beyond. The food is great, the cocktails are delicious and the excursions are awesome if you can bring yourself to leave the lodge. I cannot recommend this place enough, go!

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Beautiful Hotel in a Beautiful Land"

Review by: DrFWM | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is an absolute haven. Mrauk U is an incredible destination but can leave the traveller feeling a little worn, dusty and disorientated. The Mrauk U Princess Resort provides a calm, orderly and natural space to gather your thoughts and feel gently pampered. The food is very good and given the difficulties in sourcing ingredients such as wheat and coffee, provides an almost miraculous feat of delivering crispy, fresh croissants for breakfast every morning (make sure your come after 7.20am when they come out of the oven) with excellent coffee. Local food is also good, with delicious soup noodles for breakfast, and good salads and curries at night. The rooms are large and comfortable. I had a very small accident, entirely my own fault, but the hotel staff were responsive and professional, providing very good, simple but thorough medical care. One of the more remarkable experiences was hearing the wealth of sounds through the night as the environment is very natural and not subjected to the chemical exposure that many tropical resorts use. The result is a nighttime symphony of frogs, crickets, and cicadas.

Villa Song Saigon: "Elegant hotel on the Saigon River"

Review by: Mellona | Source: Trip Advisor
"We started our vacation in Vietnam in this elegant hotel. It looks and feels like British colonial times. We ate our breakfasts on the banks of the Saigon river and had delicious food there. Our room was on the third floor and there are no elevators. We never carried our suitcases - the service was wonderful. We were looking for a place to eat and the staff told us where locally they went to eat and we had a delicious lunch there. We took their water taxi into the city and it was a treat to ride on the river in that way. The pool there is lovely and staff are around to take care of your every need. We couldn't have had a better start to a fabulous two weeks in Vietnam. "
