Villa Song Saigon: "A fabulous treat"

Review by: susie n | Source: tripadvisor.com
We spent one night at Villa Song - it was a real treat. The place is beautiful, it feels generous with a free boat shuttle and minibar. The pool is a secluded gem in the garden. Watching the world go by overlooking the Saigon River is hard to beat and even harder while sipping coconut milk from a fresh coconut. We would have stayed longer but it was fully booked. The area is where all the international schools and the expat community live so it is not the place to pop out for local colour or street food but you can access those by taking the boat shuttle into town.

The Island Lodge: "Amazing stay in this hotel !"

Review by: Laurent P | Source: Trip Advisor
We spend 5 nights in this hotel, everything was perfect : rooms are nice and full furnished, very quiet environment ! And the owners of this paradise Françoise and Michel are so nice and helpful. The restaurant is also amazing (you have test quiche lorraine and fondant chocolat). I warmly recommend this place if you want a fantastic stay in Vietnam.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Excellent location and atmosphere"

Review by: Willem U | Source: Trip Advisor
We are a family of 4 and enjoyed the Apsara very much. Fantastic pool (only allowed at this side of the river) and genuine service of the caring staff. Price quality for room, facilities, service and location is excellent!

Talabgaon Castle: "Calm and serene !!"

Review by: SmitaMundra | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Just one and a half hour drive from jaipur, this hotel is a gem, a beautifully converted 'haveli'. We stayed in the heritage suit which was upto the mark and tastefully done. Since we ( me, my husband and two sons) were the only guests at that time, the service was impeccable. The staff is very humble and courteous and always ready to assist. The grounds are vast and spacious with plenty of space to walk around. The food is also very good. The place has a calm and serene environment. It is a perfect destination for short relaxing and quite holiday. Highly recommend it."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Fantastic stay"

Review by: maja_za_2 | Source: Trip Advisor
Beautiful peaceful oasis in the middle of noisy Bangkok. We feel lucky to have found this place and can recommend it to everyone, especially those who like to have a more genuine experience of this unique city rather than staying in the big chain hotels. Very clean, neat and pleasant place.

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Consistent fine quality"

Review by: Claude P | Source: Trip Advisor
Over the last few years we have dined several times at Le Du. This time we took some friends there and again the fusion food was tasty with Thai flavors, imaginative and beautifully presented by friendly staff. We accompanied the dishes by a decently prized crispy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. For me this restaurant is star quality even though the recently published Michelin guide of Bangkok restaurants did not give them this rating.

Maison Polanka: "Spoil yourself"

Review by: Mike P | Source: Trip Advisor
"This place was top notch. It was beautiful and quiet and the rooms were perfect. But what makes it top notch was all of the detail and the way the staff anticipate your needs. For example, we mentioned we might take their free bicycles into town so when we later left our room we noticed they had set out two bikes but also put cold water and a map in the baskets for us. You can book drivers/tuk tuks/guides through the hotel for temple visits and they always sent water and cold towels with the drivers- much appreciated in that heat! The hotel food was the best we had in the city. There are only five rooms so it feels personal but still offers plenty of privacy. The pool is the perfect place to hang out in the hot afternoons (or any time) and the entire compound makes you feel like you are in an oasis. The staff could not have been friendlier or more thorough. This place was worth every penny. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Island Lodge: "Get off the busy life"

Review by: Thi Hoang Anh N | Source: Trip Advisor
Niche and charming hotel. Warm welcome and cheerful staffs. Great feeling with bird sound around you in the morning. This is also the place you can get around nicely with the bicycle and feel the fresh air with a lot of green in the afternoon!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Too bad there are no 6 star ratings"

Review by: MarieLgx | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at 4 Rivers for a week, and wish we could have stayed for a month. As the boat arrives and the machine is turned off, you look around and you know you are going to spend an incredible time. This place is like no other: not only it has reached perfection in service, style, cleanliness and comfort, but also it allows you to rest and relax while appreciating all the beauties of the region. Yet the most exceptional thing about this resort is the staff. They have been caring, extraordinary helpful from the beginning until the very last moments. We cannot thank you enough for what you've done… but we'll try ;) First, thank you Bona for giving us the warmest greeting, making sure to explain everything, and taking on board with us to the resort (plus, your cocktails are delicious). Then, a big thanks to the tour guides, Vy, Sambo and Naren, you are great people and the funniest guys. Thank you to the restaurant team, Kenneth and E-J, you were adorable and always smiling. Thank you Adonis for your constant good mood, your big smile and your fun personality. Last but not least, thank you Anna for your precious time and for being the most amazing encounter we had in Cambodia. Keep doing what you do for the local children, for the biodiversity and for your team!! We will definitely come back... Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

Satri House: "Fantastic stay"

"Lovely hotel with great rooms, pool and restaurant. Only a 10 minute walk to the centre of town and the hotel allows you to borrow bikes for free, such fun! What made our stay really great was the attentive, kind, friendly staff. Highly recommended. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"
