Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Lost in Paradise"

This is not a hotel but Paradise. So beautiful with a nice garden. Room is very very big with simple decoration but very convenient. We love the scenery around the hotel, it is wonderful. Sitting at the middle of the nature, reading a good book and drinking a cocktail. It was the most relaxing moment in my life

Samanea Beach Resort: "expat hangout"

kep and nearby Kampot are wonderful places to visit. Samanea Resort is set up totally to be by yourself, lovely pool and great view. it does however lack a bar. I like to sit in a bar area, not just be served

Muang La Lodge: "Unforgettable!"

"Our 3 nights in this timeless place were absolutely fantastic! The place is magic. The staff is incredibly professional and attentive and services went over our expectations. Breakfast is absolutely gorgeous. Croissant, Pain au Chocolat, Bread, Eggs, Homemade Jam, Fresh fruits...we enjoyed everything! The lunch is also very good. Simple and very tasteful dishes. Dinner is a bit more fancy. The taste and the presentation were much more subtle. You should try their cocktails! Especially one made with passion fruit, basil and Lao Lao, a traditional alcohol. We really enjoyed the food and the service. For our last dinner they even prepared an isolated table just for us! Thank you again for this very kind attention! The room was very clean and well furnished. The view on the river was very pleasant! We were very impressed by the discretion and level of professionalism of the housekeeping team. The swimming pool and the pool bar has been the place where we were spending our last minutes of sun everyday. Definitely a place where we were astonished by the beauty of the scenery. In short, our experience has been much more surprising than expected...This place made us aware of the incredible moments we were living. Priceless."

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "So unique"

If you ever have the chance to visit Lombok for honeymoon occasion, consider staying at Tugu as it has the most romantic beach in the North part of the island. A beautiful white sandy beach combined with breathtaking view is too good to be missed. They offer lots of activities such as golfing, snorkelling to Gili, and some recommended tours. There are not many choices for food outside the hotel though. The service is excellent in many ways. Our stay was the most memorable one as the staff always paid attention to every small detail. It was a truly unique experience

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Beautiful and Serene"

"This place surpassed our already high expectations ! Some of things that took our breath away - A vast secluded CLEAN beach, Clean sea water, Dolphins swimming. Even the interiors of the resort are beautiful. The rooms are rustic on the outside and modern and comfortable comparable to any 5-7 star property. The bathrooms are beautiful beyond imagination. The resort uses plastic minimally and lives up to its green promise. Infinity pool is gorgeous (...) The library deserves a special mention. Its not some randomly put together library but cleverly chosen selection of literature. It would have been great to have some Indian books for young readers as this resort attracts a lot of family crowd as per our experience. Staff deserves special mention as they were generous and friendly but same time non intrusive. We can't wait to go back as we already feel drawn towards the place once again."

Tugu Bali: "Hotel Tugu 11/17"

"What can I say about Hotel Tugu other than it’s the most enchanting friendly and amazing hotel we stayed at while on Bali. From the minute you enter driveway you will be welcomed with a friendly greeting and the first of many incredible historic relics from the island. From the minute we walked in my wife and I felt like family and were always taken well care of…upon leaving we were provided a fruit basket and a gift for staying at the hotel…we stayed at much more costly and higher rated villas during our stay but did not receive any kind of sendoff like we had at Tugu… PROS – You will not stay in another hotel like this in Bali – trust me – we stayed at much higher end hotels and did not have near the experience we had while at Tugu. Free Balinese dance show every Thursday night where dinner is served – can’t miss this if you have the chance. The beach (although a 100 meter walk from the hotel) is filled with plenty of friendly locals and surfers from around the world. If you ever wanted to surf, this is a great place to learn with the easy rolling waves. Finally the town surrounding the hotel is a lot of fun and gives you a chance to get out of the hotel and mingle. CONS – Bed is not very frim – I am used to a really firm mattress so I might just be complaining for no reason – also there is no gym which is quite common in Bali hotels… Honestly there was nothing wrong with this hotel and I promise if you give it a shot, you will not be disappointed. FYI the price for pickup from the airport (246,000) is better than any driver will give you upon arrival…It’s a 45-60 minute ride from Denpasar…"

Amata Lanna: "Relaxing and Extremely Friendly Staff"

"A very nice spot for any kind of trip to Chiang Mai. Very clean and the best staff you could find to always make sure you are happy. We always felt welcome and felt like we were family. The rooms are decorated very nicely and has a nice Thai style and the courtyard is a small oasis like setting that is very pleasant. Overall very impressed with the Amata Lana."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "A gem in the middle of the rice fields"

We got to the Sanak Retreat after leaving the busy streets of Seminyak, arriving by foot through the rice fields in the late afternoon, because of a broken down truck on the ‘main’ road... What a feeling and what a view!... we absolutely loved the place - the restaurant is good (but not cheap), staff is helpful and welcoming, swimming pool is great. And do go for a walk in the fields around the place at sunset or sunrise. The most memorable place we stayed in during our 3 weeks’ trip in Bali and would strongly recommend.

Inle Princess Resort: "A beautiful, peaceful place to stay"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had a garden room rather than a lake room, but still beautiful. There's no tv in the rooms, but who needs that? It was just so peaceful. Great pool, bar and restaurant too and the staff were more than ready to help out with anything. I have coeliacs and the restaurant staff were happy to make something special for me, although that wasn't required as the food on their daily changing menu gave me lots of options. We were there late January and most of the other guests (and the staff) seemed to think the mornings and evenings were cold. Not for us. While the temperature was a little more temperate than other parts of Myanmar, we were perfectly comfortable without long sleeves and scarves, but I suppose that's a subjective experience. Room Tip: You could probably pay more and get a lake view room, but it's not necessary."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Historic hotel in Georgetown"

Lovely example of a restored historic building. Now a boutique hotel. It feels like you have stepped back in time. Rooms lovely, staff friendly and helpful and little touches make the difference. Well priced, good greakfast included. Great location for exploring Georgetown. Thoroughly recommended.
