Rahai’i Pangun: "Easily the best escape from Jakarta"

Review by: Anwar L | Source: Trip Advisor
"Out of the city - straight into the jungle ! I just finished my third trip with Wow Borneo. Its so great to have a guarenteed chance to see the Orangutans. The service was excellent and it was a breeze to communicate with Gaye and her crew. This is the kind of professional service I expect from Holiday destinations here in Indonesia."

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Honeymoon"

Review by: Andrea C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Resort immerso nelle risaie, semplice ma raffinato e accogliete. Il personale tutto indonesiano è gentilissimo e ben preparato sul tipo di soggiorno e con l'inglese. La camera/capanna è confortevolissima, e dotata di aria condizionata e piccolo balconcino (nel nostro caso poiché eravamo nelle lombok a due piani). Abbiamo cenato tutte le 4 sere in cui ci siamo fermati a Bali, il menù fisso prevede piatti italiani, indonesiani e internazionali (hamburger), in oltre propongono dei piatti del giorno tipici. Il tutto è molto curato nell'impiattamento ma soprattutto molto buono! I prezzi sono moderati e adeguati al posto in cui si soggiorna. Esperienza davvero positiva"

"Enchanting - beyond excellent. Wonderful staff and food; special thanks to George Ranjan and Luna. Only slight disappointment was that the mountains were obscured by mist for most of the time, unusually for November."

Review by: Jennifer R | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were staying next door at the Ahimsa Villas and popped in here for last minute dinner before we flew home I wish we had more time - it was amazing - tapas type dishes - all superbly presented. They recommended 3 dishes per person which was about right We followed the advice of the staffer our selection of dishes Highly recommended"

Tugu Malang: "I didn’t stay here but had 1 lunch, 1 dinner, and the hotel tour with Ibu Poppy"

Review by: bankergirl1016 | Source: Trip Advisor
"If there's one regret I had in my Malang trip is NOT booking this hotel. It is Super amazing. You see, I've travelled in Indonesia extensively for work and play and one of my woes is the lack of seamless service beyond Bali. Well, Hotel Tugu Malang meets superb global standards and more. The minute I stepped in (flabbergasted from the icky Rumah Makn Inggil) I was warmly welcomed by Ibu Poppy. Even if I wasn't staying she warmly invited me in to the lunch area. I took photos around the beautiful hotel and she volunteered to give me a tour of the hotel and tea after! Everyone speaks impeccable English. Food arrives fast. Yes this is a big deal in Indonesia!!!! If you have been here Long enough you'll understand my delight. Thank you so much for everyone's warm hospitality, the reasonably priced yummy meals, the free tour and tea. Malang is not easy to get to from where I live, but if I go back to Malang - it's Tugu Malang or nothing!"

Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful hotel"

Review by: Gregory G | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed one night in this hotel. This hotel is really beautiful. It is authentic and well located in the city. I would definitely recommend it. The room is huge and you have a large terrace. The breakfast is really good and can be served on the terrace as well. The staff speaks a very good English and are very helpful. This hotel would be a bit more expensive than other hotels that we did in Bangkok but it is definitely worth it. We hope to come back in Bangkok and stayed there. Thank you again for the Thailand flag :)"

The Tiger’s Eye: "Excellent unique food made with passion and great care + Fantastic service"

Review by: serina2000 | Source: Trip Advisor
"After being recommended to attend the restaurant, I was impressed at the outset with the customer service from my phone communications with Timothy (chef) and Nick (manager). As a vegetarian with the exception of chicken, I wasn't impressed with the dinner menu, but after being lured there for dinner I was amazed with the food I ate. It was the first posh restaurant I have experienced in my life where the small quantities of food actually filled me up, making the price great value for money. I also loved how non-exciting menu descriptions resulted in explosions of flavour in my mouth making it a very unique eating experience. I had a starter, main and dessert. The carefulness in thought of what to have in each dish was very evident from the moment each dish I received came with a detailed explanation of what was in it. Myself and my guests were equally surprised with how great everything tasted, particularly when we were reluctant to try non traditional desserts. Each dish we ordered came in a different designed plate, contributing to the clear message that all aspects of the dining experience have been carefully thought. Similarly, the drinks also exceeded expectations. I loved the smoothies and my guests, who requested cocktails to be conjured up based on their preferred tastes, loved what they received. Each drink we ordered came in a different vessel, adding to the excitement of experiencing the unknown. I'm told the dinner menu will change each week, making this a place to visit regularly if it is within one's budget. I also went for brunch a few days later and enjoyed their pancakes. If you love North American pancakes, then it is a dish worth checking out. If I had to give any criticism, it would be to provide a greater selection of vegetarian and chicken dishes for the dinner menu. But, overall, I'm really really glad I went here despite my initial reluctance, and I know my guests had an amazing time too."
