Muang La Lodge: "A little peace of paradise in northern Laos"

It takes a bit of effort to get there, but its secludeness is also part of its charm. The staff of this beautiful resort with only ten rooms does everything to make your stay pleasant and memorable. There are no strict rules, except for enjoying yourself as much as possible. If you would like to stay in a tranquil, beautiful and comfortable resort and value quality over quantity, this is the place to be. Especially the five course dinner which combines the best of French and Asian cuisine is worth mentioning. If you prefer an easy getaway with all standard 5-star hotel facilities and an all-you-can-eat buffet, this is not the place for you.

Tugu Lombok: "Beautiful Hotel Tugu Lombok where you can relax, destress and be pampered"

Hotel Tugu Lombok's hotel rooms are filled with amazing antiques, yet modern with a huge TV and free wifi. Our bathroom was indoor/outdoor and I must say it was a uniquely wonderful experience to take a shower outdoors in a mosaic tub. The open air restaurant serves delicious meals and overlooks the common pool and a view of the ocean. The 15 minute welcome massage was so wonderful that I booked a one hour massage. Along their beach Hotel Tugu has strategically placed double beds (yes beds) complete with sheets, thrown pillows and a food tray. The perfect spot to relax, have drinks, snacks, dinner and when it becomes dusk, candles are lit around the beds. It was so relaxing to lie back and hear the crash of the waves and enjoy star gazing. During my stay I booked a car tour of Lombok and I saw people and places that most tourists did not. If you are looking for a more in depth look of Lombok and its people you will not be disappointed in this tour. I was fortunate to have had my tour with Budi. His English is extremely good and he is a courteous and gracious guide. Hotel Tugu Lombok is what every vacation live up to.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Geweldige glamping ervaring!"

De accommodatie ligt iets uit het centrum van Ubud tussen de prachtige rijstvelden. Overdag tot 22:00 is er een gratis shuttle service naar het centrum. Perfect geregeld. De hutjes zijn super mooi en ruim. We zijn zelfs 1 nacht in een luxe tent verbleven met een prive zwembad die uitzicht heeft op de jungle! Heel gaaf! Ontbijt is top! Service is uitstekend! Heerlijk verblijf gehad! Echt aan te raden!! Neem ook een yoga lesje met uitzicht op de rijstvelden. Heerlijk!!

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Best meal I’ve ever had"

I'm telling you what I told my wife when we were there - "this meal is the best meal I've ever had". Also, the price is very reasonable relative to the quality of the food and cocktails. Definitely a great choice for a classy (relative for Siem reap) dinner!

Amata Lanna: "BEAUTIFUL JEWEL IN CHIANG MAI"

Small boutique hotel near the old town. Comfortable beds with quality linens. Large bathroom with shower & separate tub. Staff is very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was included. I would definitely stay here again.

Satri House: "Great Service lovely Hotel"

I booked this hotel for my daughter who was backpacking around Asia because I needed an important document signed and the Hotel said they could arrange everything from downloading the document, printing it and after signing DHL it back to the UK. Well not only did they do this but my daughter had a fantastic stay at the hotel, she loved the bedrooms (very comfy mattress apparently) and loved the service. What more can you ask for. Thank you Phommaly TEVAMITH (Mr), great service!

Tugu Bali: "Best ever!!!"

"A true oasis in Bali!!! This hotel is amazing!!! Staff was fabulous!!!! They could not have been more accommodating Grounds are beautiful! We stayed here at the end of a long trip. It was truly an amazing end to our trip before the long trek home. "

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Fantastic retreat in the mountains"

Having read the reviews, we were not looking forward to the road transfer from the airport up to Glenburn but it really wasn't too bad at all and definitely worth it. We were warmly greeted by Will & Faye and they continued to look after us very well during our 4 night stay. We enjoyed the communal meals and we met some very interesting guests. The location was perfect, amazing views and our room lovely. The food was good and every effort was made to accommodate special requests (we had scones and specially made Portuguese tarts) We did a couple of the escorted walks which we really enjoyed. We also took much advantage of the free laundry service! A faboulous property and we had a wonderful time.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Perfection!"

"I can't believe I left my visit to Glenburn (and Darjeeling) to the end of my time in India. I definitely would have returned if I'd been earlier in my tour. The overall experience is fabulous, though there are adjustments that could be made to the property to make it out of this world. The property may not be as fancy as some five star resorts but the experience is everything you could hope for, largely thanks to the wonderful efforts of caretakers Will and Faye (and Alex, who is helping for a few months). They went out of their way to make the it memorable, warm and welcoming. The views and the grounds of the estate are lovely. The tea fields are interesting for a few hours. A lot of guests loved the trek to the Ranjeet River. I preferred whiling away the hours on the front verandah, which really is the perfect antidote to the chaos and dirt of most Indian cities. The catering is superb - kudos to the kitchen staff. If you like kitsch, it's worth the visit to the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway - though much of its journey is through town centres, cheek by jowl with people and their homes. The Shimla toy train may be better. Was lucky to catch a glimpse of Kanchenjunga on my last day but many don't get that lucky. It's still beautiful with or without that experience. The rooms are gorgeously quaint and the attention to detail with the decor is lovely. I loved all the butterfly touches in the Butterfly Room. But the owners may want to consider upgrading the sealing of rooms and electricity given the rates are in the higher bracket for the region. Post monsoon, I found a lot of creepy crawlies were making their way inside through gaps in the windows and an external door that couldn't close/lock. Also plugging in and using the hairdryer could get a bit buzzy given the old electrics. An upgrade to smooth the road to the property also wouldn't go astray. There is bumpy and there is feeling like you're in a washing machine. It's manageable if you don't get car sick but would be horrible if you do - I think the driver also makes a big difference. I did the road with two fabulous drivers and a less careful one as I was leaving and I noticed the difference. Despite those quibbles, I'd go again in a heart beat. Really loved the place. I was lucky to get a late room over the Dusshera/Durga Pooja holiday but apparently it books up fast."

SANDAT GLAMPING TENTS: "No words"
