Villa Song Saigon: "the very best"
We stayed for two nights recently ... and wow. Two nights were not enough. This is one of the very best places I have stayed, period. The facilities and service are top-notch. Not to mention the up-and-coming coolness of the environs, and the experience of taking the free evening boat shuttle blazing down the Saigon River after a long hot day downtown. This is an experience not to be missed in HCMC.Inle Princess Resort: "A little piece of heaven"
Fantastic experience - rooms, location and staff. Many sightseeing and cultural experiences right at the door. Spent three nights at this hidden gem. Resort set around the lake and an internal lagoon. Tropical paradise.Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Amazing Hanok"
It was our first time to Seoul and my friend and I decided to spend the first 2 nights in a Hanok. We chose this place based on the pictures and reviews people posted here. It turned out to be the best experience ever. We had lots of fun and al Mr.Kim was a lot of help. He helped pointed us to a great restaurant for buddaejjigae. And also helped us with any questions we had. We would totally recommend this Hanok. They cleaned the room everyday and it was well kept. Thanks again Mr. Kim with all your help and hospitality.

"Manda was recommended to me,and i am very thankfull. It is without any doubt the best and most beautifull place to have diner in Laos( not only Luang Prabang) The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere,the food is FANTASTIC. We tried the top 5 on tripadvisor and believe me this place is on a different level. Definatelly no1 ++++"Locavore: "Incredible food experience!"
We went to this restaurant for our wedding anniversary, and it was an incredibly good experience. Everything was perfect, starting with the really nice staff, the place itself and obviously the food. Talking about the latter, we saw people complaining about it, this place is intended to be a really slow food experience, with 7 or 5 main dishes and roughly 10 complementary other small snacks, all together it takes over 3 hours, not for everyone. But the composition of the dishes is simply awesome, recommended for the lover of the good food!Villa Song Saigon: "Out of town"
"Away from the bustle of down town and a complimentary boat ride into town. Great view of the river, Very welcoming with some great food. Very helpful and friendly staff. Take the hotel's recommended tour to the Cu Chi tunnels by boat from the Villa! Booked at the last minute - I'm coming back that's for sure. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Best in Mrauk-U"
"Excellent rustic hotel in Mrauk U. The hotel has its own jetty that takes about 4:30 hours from Sittwe airport. Sunrise breakfast charge 150 for 5 people to watch the sunrise in the the mountain and have breakfast there. Bicycles are available for rent for $5 for full day and $3 for half day. The pool in the middle of the lotus flower lake is great but the water is cold. Breakfast is included; for other meals the restaurant has a vast menu priced in USD. Can't go wrong with the curry, coconut rice (not found on the menu) and the lentil soup . The Internet rarely works but then again who cares when you are immersed in history. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Holiday in heaven"
"We have spent a very relaxing and peaceful time at this wonderful hotel. Located along the river and just far enough away from district 1 - Villa Song was the perfect escape from the daily adventures discovering Ho Chi Minh City, Chi Chi tunnels and Mekong delta. Highly recommended. "Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song January 17"
"We have stayed at Villa Song 4 times now and each visit has been excellent. The Management and staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is worth getting up for. I always enjoy my stay here due to the extremely comfortable beds and pillows. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Jing’s Residence: "Superb accommodation, sensational food and Imam is the best!"
"Jing's Residence is sensational in every respect. Imam who is the resident manager is a wonderful fellow who greets you in a personal and intimate manner every time you see him.....he makes you think that you are the only person/people staying there and he is there just for you.....and yes he also possesses a great sense of humour. Upon check in you are provided with all the information that you need and are served a cool ginger tea with dates.....what a great way to be welcomed. Nothing is too much for him or his team! Breakfast was scrumptious with their cappuccino nice and hot. Dinner was 1st class, we chose two dishes with rice and the duck with seasonal fruit (duck is my favourite) was actually bettered by the chicken with preserved ginger. We finished up with their handmade apple turnover which is a house delicacy and was outrageously good! The afternoon tea ceremony is not to be missed, it's served upstairs in the lounge area and the little tray of delicacies that are served with your choice of tea were yummy. Dates, bananas, apricots, a free mini bar with chocolate, soft drinks, beer, orange juice that was replenished everyday and the toiletries provided are a nice touch. The little gift left the night before was a surprise and then the addition of red Chinese tags on your luggage is a good reminder of your visit to this beautiful restored courtyard property. We had Imam and three of the team come out and wave us goodbye.....sigh I will miss staying there, it's a long way from Australia to China for a long weekend! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g325575-d1536016-r376919666-Jing_s_Residence-Pingyao_County_Shanxi.html#"Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
