VILLA SONG SAIGON: "A luxurious and peaceful escape from the bustle of the city"

"Our first two nights in Vietnam were spent at Villa Song. This was the most idyllic way to kickstart our holiday. The location beside the river is specatular. We had the suite on the top floor with the little parlour. Our two girls slept in the parlour which worked perfectly - leaving us in the four poster bed. This is a very romantic, charming hotel - the furnishings and fittings are beautiful. But the key for us was that it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The first day we were collected by tour company Les Rives to take us by boat to the Chi Chi Tunnels – this was perfect because they could simply collect us and drop us back at the hotel’s private pier. The restaurant is fabulous – a beautiful al fresco location for dinner and breakfast. "

Amata Lanna: "Amazing"

It's like stepping into a hidden oasis. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is withing a few minute walk of the night market amd many restaurants. Every recommendation they provided was perfect. They will be on my list of places to visit again. Thank you for making our honeymoon stay such a memorable experience.

Akame: "Superb Taiwan native style grill"

"Hidden in the mountain of Pingdong Taiwan The chefs are well experienced with several famous bistros and finally got back home for their native town Hard to imagine there's such delicate high end grill restaurant in such country side of south Taiwan. Menu differs everyday, planned by chef according to the very fresh materials Grilled bbq food is superb! Every dish are delicious, I like the pork-type, and fresh seafood fish Their signature dessert is the cinnamon sticks, It's on pricey side, but definitely worth the money, Not taking any drop in guests, and it's Super difficult to make reservation; usually takes a month or so in advance; Service is superb, they also provide some combination of wine; A must go restaurant, it's very far, but you will find it worth the journey"

Yandabo Home: "Great! Wonderful! Brilliant!"

"This is a small hotel right on the river. It's nestled among trees which does mean the inevitable wildlife around you (although we didn't see mosquitos!). The room we had was huge and wonderfully well equipped. The terrace area was comfortable and peaceful. The staff were very helpful and friendly (not always visible but never very far away). For a two night stay to see the villages it is a great base."

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Perfect escape"

This hotel was the perfect way to end our trip in Thailand. The hotel was even better than described/pictured. It is in a great area, close to the sky train but secluded and peaceful. Definitely a beautiful boutique hotel with amazing service. I only wish we had stayed longer to take advantage of the pool and the restaurant, but the bar and breakfast were wonderful! Our room was picturesque (in addition to the rest of the hotel). We will definitely be back and would recommend the Cabochon to anyone!

The Village House: "Love The Village House!"

"We have been to the Village House a few times. We keep going back because it is the perfect place to take in the Sarawak vibe. Beautiful rooms, great food (must try the Taste of Borneo tasting menu), but most of all a great group of people that run the place. We always feel at home and amongst friends while we are there. They can help you plan a day trip or a major excursion up the river to a long house. All in all, The Village House is a 10 out of 10. "

MesaStila: "Excellent, Friendly Resort"

"It's a village so it's not in the middle of town but absolutely worth finding. From the time you check in, until you finally have to hand back the key, MesaStila pampers you up & down, in & out. The staff at the resort were the friendliest has we ever encountered. Everyone from the greeter at the gate, the check in staff, restaurant wait staff and spa/pool staff were so welcoming. Up and down the hills, the team will help you get around in their activities. Hiking, coffee plantation, yoga and various activities are available to tire you out. Go ahead and get tired. The room was beautiful, clean and very comfortable Room amenities include the robes and sundries you'd expect in a property of this calibre so it ends up being the staff that makes MesaStila such a great place to stay. It was a very relaxing trip and we will definitely be back! cheers!"

THE ISLAND LODGE: "Scherer"

"The Island Lodge is a marvellous place! An oasis in the middle of a special place almost a junge beside the river. The view is historic, peaceful and really unique. There is nothing to compare with the Island Lodge in the area! The owner Michel and his wife Francoise are exceptional hosts not because of a necessity but because of a natural true passion to receive their guests with warmth and friendliness. It is a really comfortable feeling after traveling down from the chaos and noise of Ho Chi Minh! Breakfast is á la carte, it is slow and easy going just like the Mekong. Dinner is more or less the same. Lots of choice and lots of taste and just so comfortable. One of the best parts of this residence has to be the interior design. Michel did almost everything himself and if he ever gives up the Hotel business he could certainly try his hand at ID!! He has taste and style which is very seldom in a hotel of this size. Usually boutique hotels get a little Kitsch over load. Not here the attention to detail is impressive and highly soothing just before a early afternoon nap! The pool is big and super practical! And make sure you go with Michel on a bike tour. Probably something that will stay with me for ever for all the right reasons! Don't bother looking at any other place if you want to stay a few days in the Delta "

Villa Song Saigon: "Amazing"

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. From the food to the great staff, I couldn't ask for a better experience. We were greeted by the manager and staff with the utmost charm and led to an incredible room. The pool and the restaurant were amazing as well. If you're looking for a place to stay that is quiet and beautiful, choose Villa Song.

Villa Song Saigon: "Peaceful retreat by the river"

"We stayed for one night but wish we had stayed for longer. The setting, history and design of the hotel are stunning. After a day exploring district 1 it was the perfect spot to come back to, to enjoy a glass of wine sat beside the river. The hotel offers a speedboat shuttle into the centre, which takes about 15 minutes - otherwise it took about 20 minutes off-peak to come back by taxi. The service was very good - we were delighted to be able to check into our room on arrival at 9am. The breakfast was a la carte and excellent - sat right next to the river - what a wonderful start to the day! Our room was quite small - but had a lovely balcony with river views. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"
