4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Good way to start our holiday after 11 months of non stop work"
Stayed here for 4 nights - after non stop work from January to November this was our first port of call on our Cambodian holiday. For us it was the right choice. Totally calm and relaxing. Staff were brilliant and food overall was great. The only reason we haven't given 5 stars is that we found the b'fast lacking in breadth and diversity. A minor thing overall as we can away refreshed and ready for the rest of our holidays!Samanea Beach Resort: "Great place"
The pier is the star attraction, best place in Kep to experience sunset and because of the small amount of rooms available the resort is never crowded, there are always available beds around the pool. All in all affording a feeling of exclusivity rarely experienced at larger resorts.Villa Song Saigon: "Amazing stay"
"No more to say. Just stay there. The location is a bit far away from the hustle, but that's what we wanted. The nice thing is the hotel provides a free shuttle to the downtown area, which is great because you can come back and retreat to a more chill location and enjoy an afternoon by the pool. Not cheap, but worth the price. We were very happy with Villa Song."Rahai’i Pangun: "Great crew!"
"This was my first time traveling alone, and I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived for this portion. But I absolutely loved it. The crew was great, the guide Tri was fantastic, and the trip itself was so relaxing and interesting. We saw many orangutans in the forest (including a baby!), visited Dayak villages, and had delicious meals three times a day- and that's coming from someone who considers herself a picky eater. I absolutely recommend this tour group (and especially the boat and staff I had). I'd also suggest you go while you can- you could see gold prospecting in quite a few spots. In order for them to get at the gold, they need to burn the forest down. It also leaves large mounds of white sand along the river. It's very sad, but perhaps with an up-tick in tourism, there will be a greater push for putting a stop to this? I'd like to add while it was disturbing to see, it did not make the trip less enjoyable. Rather, it just makes me want to get more involved."Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Simply the BEST"
"Rarely does one find a jewel like this, where staff and owner are welcoming, friendly and nothing is too much. Marcus and his team really go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable, relaxing, rejuvenating. Then comes the view : simply breathtaking. And the cozy rooms in chalets built of local materials, all conscious of the environment and preserving it. And the delicious food : you can have just about anything you feel like, and much of it comes form their own organic garden, simply delicious! Thank you TMPL for a most relaxing holiday, without noise pollution! I will be back for sure."Locavore: "A must in Ubud"
Amazing detail to local dishes. We would recommend to anyone travelling to Ubud. Both meat and vege options were incredible. Also great value for money.The Apsara Rive Droite: "Excellent location and atmosphere"
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!Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Elegant food and service"
"My wife and I enjoyed a dinner here as part of our honeymoon this week. I had the 6 course vegetarian menu, and my wife had one of the six course omnivorous options (including a frogs legs option!). All courses were simply superb. Beautiful balanced flavours were supported by technical flair. Service was perfect, warm yet unobtrusive. The decor was subtle and the atmosphere calm. Truly, this was one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. Thank you!"Reverie Siam Pai: "Truly wonderful"
"We visited his little paradise, and were amazed by the beauty of the hotel, the surroundings and the friendliness of staff. If you need a retreat and a calm place to stay, you have definitely found the right place. The bathrooms are just unbelievably beautiful. Will be back, without a doubt."Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Lovely hotel and fantastic young staff"
You would be surprised to find that this a training school for young people, funded by the owner of the other luxury hotel Inle Princess Resort. The hotel is nicely appointed and built as stilt houses on water. There are only a few rooms so it is very private and exclusive. The young staff are well trained and helpful so service is on par with any luxury hotel. Food is great. Highlight of the day for us was having a beer at the bar and watched the sun set. Out of this world.
