Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Incredibly outstanding, as always!"

The owners Carole and Johannes are incredible. The staff incredibly professional. The food... Mind blowing and completely unlike anywhere else in the world! Extremely innovative menu. If you find yourself in Siem Reap, do yourself a favour and book in here (in advance due to its understandable popularity). The best meals I have eaten in all of Asia!

Mathis Retreat: "Small and personal, out of the way of the hustle and bustle"

This small boutique hotel is just a short car ride away for the busy Ubud area. The service is impeccable from the minute you arrive. If you are interested in seeing the sites guided the hotel manager is happy to arrange a private guide. The rooms while nothing over the top fancy are quite large and have a wonderful view of the rice paddies that surround it and are very clean and well maintained. The infinity pool while we were there was quite cool but that is to be expected for November. The restaurant on site is an open air area with a roof, with a nice of the area. The menu while not large has excellent food choices which are all quite good. We did not have a bad meal here. Prices were reasonable for the restaurant, rooms and the spa facilities. There has been a change in ownership which was happening about the time we were staying there, my hope is that it has been a seamless change as it truly is a little piece of paradise.

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing food!"

"We were staying at a nearby hotel and thought it would be a nice change to eat somewhere different considering we were quite secluded and this place did not disappoint! Amazing food, great service and quick. Even though they were almost fully booked, they managed to get the food out quick while keeping a high standard. It is a bit pricey but it is a resort but it's definitely worth it!"

Talabgaon Castle: "Very unique and relaxing"

"My family and I stayed at the castle for three nights and spent Christmas there this year. It was wonderful, and a great place to slow down in between more hectic Indian stops. We entirely enjoyed the brief camel wagon ride to a small and under-visited Indian village. A great stop in between crazy and hectic Jaipur. Breakfast on the terrace and dinner next to the fireplace on the cool December nights were charming. We even had a local music group perform for us on Christmas Eve. It will certainly be a highlight of our time in India. My son even tried the pool even as it was only 50° outside"

SUMMERTIME VILLA: "Nice Place"

"Ive been to Goa several times but I had the most Luxurious time while visiting Summertime. . . . . Spacious rooms & a pool to die for…"

Sea Dance Resort: "Outstanding service, gorgeous resort."

"We have just spent 7 nights at the magical Seadance Resort and it was superb. We originally booked for 3 nights and fell in love with the place, so we decided to stay for longer. Even after a week, we didn't want to leave. A huge thank you to Poy, the lovely owner, Faith, Helen, Guy and all of the wonderful staff at Seadance for making our last week in Thailand so special. The staff are incredible, so helpful, so friendly and they are what truly makes this Resort stand out from anywhere else we have ever stayed. The accomodation is fantastic, we were lucky enough to stay in Villa 5. The views were beautiful and it was so private and peaceful. Seasalt Restaurant at Seadance is incredible, the food is first class, with a huge choice of Thai and western cuisines. The cocktail list is very extensive and they sure know how to make them. They also have a very impressive array of high quality gin, and thanks to Poy, we are now converts. The breakfast was really yummy, a perfect amount to choose from and they make the best cappuccinos we had in Thailand. The resort is only a 10 minute drive away from busy Chaweng beach, if you feel the need for nightlife and crowds. The big Buddha pier is only a short drive away and a 30 minute boat ride to Ko Phangan. We highly recommend Seadance and we can't wait to return. Thank you again to the beautiful staff, you guys are awesome!!"

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "One of our favourite experiences in Sri Lanka"

"We were in Sri Lanka for a month and our overnight safari camp with Leopard Safaris was a real highlight of the whole trip. The accommodation was real luxury camping (glamping) with electricity in the tents including a phone, fan, lighting and torches. The toilet and shower tents were clean, the toilet was a western style one and we had hot water for our evening shower. What a treat! The food was delicious – some of the best we ate in Sri Lanka. The staff were excellent and really looked after us. The whole layout of the camp was great with a nice lounge area with drinks and comfortable seating as well as dining area where you could chat to other guests and the staff. We really enjoyed chatting to Saj who was clearly passionate and deeply knowledgable about his work with animals. The safari itself was great fun. We had bad weather while there but still managed to see an array of wildlife including a leopard. We had two game drives during our stay with a ranger and a driver in the car to help us spot wildlife. Excellent experience all round. Thoroughly recommended. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Mathis Retreat: "Great views, great staff, great stay"

"Spent 5 nights here with our two kids (aged 2.5 and 9months) and thoroughly recommend it. Spacious rooms, beautiful views overlooking the rice fields, great pool, good food. Far enough away from downtown Ubud, but close enough to get there when needed. Staff couldn't have been nicer, and were more than happy to whisk our kids away to play - allowing us to relax at the end of meals. Thoroughly recommended. "

Tugu Malang: "A stunning boutique hotel"

"This is my favourite hotel in this city, come here around 3-4 times. Full with antique items (like poteki puppet dolls, or old chinese porcelain etc), the hotel even provide a free tour for guest to visit their biggest suite and another romantic spot in hotel ground. And the rooms in hotel have different theme (only the basic one that don't have that kind perk) Breakfast is indonesian cuisine also afternoon tea also, blended with traditional snack. It comes with a price tag, not heavy for western standard, but yes higher than the rest of the other hotel in malang. "

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Incredible experience"

During the New Year break my boyfriend and I stayed at Sandat Glamping Tents for 2 nights. We currently live in Singapore and although it wasn't our first trip to Bali it was our first visit to Ubud. On arrival we were instantly blown away by what Sandat had to offer. The architecture is just incredible! We stayed in Lumbung Legong and I can honestly say it was the best hotel room I have ever stayed in. There was so much attention to detail and the place was spotlessly clean. Not only is the bedroom spacious and comfortable but you also get a large area downstairs to lounge around in or escape the sun in the afternoons. It is also very private. The bathroom is outside which makes for a wonderful and unique experience. Breakfast was fantastic (and I am very picky!) and we enjoyed a wonderful massage one afternoon by our room. The best thing about the whole experience is that you really feel like you are in paradise. The staff don't disturb you or fuss over you yet they cater for all your needs. It's a small resort therefore you feel extremely well looked after (...) A truly incredible and unique experience. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks!
