Satri House: "Excellent 4 day stay"

Lovely 4 day stay here in May 2017. We had a lovely twin rooms, which was very well maintained. The staff was very good and very good at organising tours, restaurants etc. Breakfast was very nice, as was dinner. Excellent spa as well.

Reverie Siam: "Gem"

"This place is simply put great. Very much enjoyed the open/ lofty lobby and restaurant with a more tapas style cuisine and a really decent wine selection. Check the daily specials that are not on the menu. Very friendly staff. Live music at night or jazz through sound system. Rooms/houses are comfy, the outdoor space nicely done. Pool uses no chlorine, consequently the water looks greenish but your eyes don't burn after a swim. Would certainly come back again."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Luxus inmitten von Reisfeldern"

"Das Sanak Retreat ist unsere absolute Empfehlung für Zentralbali. Wir wurden sehr nett begrüßt und erhielten im Restaurant einen tollen Willkommensdrink in Form einer ganzen Kokusnuss. Die ""Hütten"" haben eine große Terrasse und einen wunderbaren Schlafraum, dessen bodentiefe Fenster sich komplett öffnen lassen. So kann man direkt in der Natur schlafen. Was uns im Sanak Retreat sehr gut gefallen hat: - hervorragendes Restaurant (tolle angerichtete Teller, sehr gute Qualität) - kleine, fast familiäre Hotelanlage - Umweltschutz und soziale Aspekte - tolle Massage zu einem fairen Preis Einzig die laut quakenden Frösche rauben einem den Schlaf."

The Island Lodge: "Excellent"

"We really enjoyed our stay at The Island Lodge. We went in December for our holidays, and our experience was by far the best. We can't say thank you enough for your immaculate service, and very beautiful hotel. The food was delicious, good cuisine with a french touch, mixed with the traditional Vietnamese gastronomy. We recommend The Island Loge 100%. You will certainly enjoy your stay there, I know we did! Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Bali: "A Balinese beauty"

From the moment we were collected at the airport our holiday at Hotel Tugu Bali was perfection itself. The hotel and grounds are beautiful, a striking reception and lounge area greet you. When you step outside you are able to stroll through the tranquil and well established grounds full of plants and flowers and listen to the wonderful sounds of the sea and bird song. In addition to this, at every turn you will find a different and beautiful cultural artefact to intrigue you. Our suite, a Rejang suite was just as wonderful, with a sunken bath and spa area, a four poster bed and a wonderful garden and ocean view which provided us with a view of the sunset every evening. There is something magical about the whole place which brings a sense of relaxation and mindfulness. The staff add to the magical moments by their obvious pleasure in ensuring you are well cared for and happy as a guest, the flowers in the room, settings at breakfast and dinner which are personalised and the delicious meals can be eaten anywhere you choose, nothing is too much trouble. A good location adds to the whole experience and a perfect holiday.

Heritage Suites: "Wonderful stay"

Our trip started off in style with the airport pickup in the old Mercedes. The staff were welcoming from the start with cold towels, water, and a welcome cocktail when we arrived. They weren't full during our stay so they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a Bungalow Suite. It was a very nice room and we'd happily pay for the extra charge to have this suite again. We liked that the hotel is a more intimate size than much of what you see around Siem Reap and that it was part of its neighborhood. They let us know when we arrived that there was a festival going on and we might hear monks chanting early in the morning from the temple nearby. When waking up before sunrise to head to the temples one morning we heard the very beautiful chanting, apparently they had started at 4 AM but we didn't hear them at all from our room. We had breakfast at the hotel daily which we enjoyed very much, but didn't try the restaurant at other times as we were out exploring Siem Reap. We booked a guide to visit temples and the Tonle Sap via their companion company Heritage Adventures who we would highly recommend. A great visit and we hope to be back again soon!

Tugu Lombok: "Fantastic"

"I left Tugu hotel today and I must say it beat all expectations. The Rooms are beautiful, the food is amazing and service unbeatable. I was not expecting anything like this. There are 35 rooms, I think 22 were occupied when I was there but it felt like the hotel was empty (which is great). They organised a lovely snorkelling trip for us and a visit to the waterfalls. Unfortunately words can't do justice to the impeccable service and beautiful setting. If you are looking for a party hotel this is not it. But if you are looking for peace and quiet, there is nowhere else to go. "

David’s Kitchen: "Exceptional service and attention to detail"

"From the moment we (my husband, adult daughter, friend and myself) were collected from our accommodation, greeted warmly on arrival and chauffeured back to our hotel, our experience at David's Kitchen will be remembered as a highlight of our holiday. The staff were attentive but discreet. David's hospitality was much appreciated as was his advice on matching wines with menu choices. And the meal did not disappoint - exceeded all expectations. The food presentation was only excelled by the amazing flavours and textures of each course. I have no hesitation in recommending David's Kitchen for those visiting Chiang Mai who are looking for a very special dining experience."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Service and charm in a beautiful oasis!"

We are a family of 4 adults and we stayed at Chakrabongse Villas for 5 nights and fell in love with the beauty and charm of this wonderful residence. We usually stay at one of the top 5* hotels in Bangkok but are so thrilled to have found this gem. It was fully booked while we were there and, while there are only 6 or so rooms, we never saw another guest the whole time. From waking up in the early morning to walk around the palace walls or giving alms with the lovely Ms Atom to dipping in the pool to cool down after a long day of exploring, we felt so at home and taken care of at the beautiful villas. The breakfasts on the river were a wonderful start to the day and our dinner was an experience in Thai cuisine that we will never forget. I have seldom stayed at any hotel where I have felt that the staff genuinely care for their guests in the way that we experienced at Chakrabongse. Thank you Ms Atom for making our stay and experience to remember, we can't wait to see you again!

Bassac Cruises: "Relaxing way to see the countryside and river"

"We booked a one night cruise and struck lucky as we were the only passengers on board. Even the 4 hour transfer on the first day was soon forgotten when we had lunch on board and cruised along the river and canals. In the afternoon we had a walk around the countryside and sampled some fruit. Everything was explained perfectly by An who gave us a lesson in everything Vietnamese, history, economy, education, social services, you name it, she explained it all to us. Back on board we had a drink followed by dinner. After a nightcap we retired to the small but comfortable a air conditioned cabin with ensuite. Early to rise, we had breakfast on board before transferring to a smaller boat for the final tours of local sugar factory, floating market and rice cake making. Again, expertly explained by An, we sadly said our goodbyes to face the 2 1/2 hour transfer back to Saigon. This was a great way to get to know a piece of the real Vietnam."
