Babe: "Wonderful"

"Probably our favourite restaurant during our travels in Vietnam and Laos. Beautiful setting, it is as attractive as it looks on the photos! Excellent service and fantastic food. We went for dinner and enjoyed it so much that we returned for our last lunch before embarking on our home ward journey. We had a la carte, great sausage and pork balls for starters and good chicken curry and stir fried buffalo. Also had one of the set tasting menus which was delicious. Interesting cocktails! Definitely the best in Luang Prabang. It's a little way from the centre of the town, but well worth the journey."

Cuca: "Fav restaurant in Bali"

"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"

Tandjung Sari: "Balinese beauty and hospitality"

For those seeking a Balinese experience of art, architecture, lovely gardens, delicious menu offerings, the sound of surf during breakfast, birds chirping a morning wake up, all held together by the warmth and graciousness of the staff, come to Tnadjung Sari. Spacious suites nestled in a private garden offer comfortable beds and light cotton nightshirts, a table set with a welcome bowl of tropical fruit, low loungey sofa, enormous bathtub and outdoors a shower. Each garden has a lounging pavilion begging you to take a nap or catch up on reading a good book. A beach boardwalk is convenient for strolling and great for people watching during breakfast. Convenient to all the street activities, I enjoyed coming back each time from shopping or trying one of the neighboring eateries to walk down the long landscaped private entry and knew I had comfort and bliss waiting for me. If you need bright lights and a lot of action, there are plenty in the area. Tandjung Sari offers the grace of the Balinese in a stellar setting.

Maison Polanka: "Luxury and pracefulness"

My wife and I visited in March and stayed in the separate room beside the dining and pool area. The service was excellent, as were the facilities. The staff were always helpful and we always felt we were returning to a luxurious retreat every time we came back from a day of temples and walking in the heat. We would happily stay again.

Tugu Malang: "Exquisite"

"Treat yourself and stay here. The team is professional, the food is excellent, the facilities are first rate, but all that aside.... this hotel is all about the ambiance. Consistent with the Tugu group's Jakarta restaurants, the hotel is completely filled with historical treasures, all in their signature charming-quirky-spooky-fascinating-yet-luxurious way. my only complaint is that I wanted to learn about all the pieces, but there was no way to- i reckon little description cards next to everything there would totally ruin the aesthetic. And if you are going to stay here, i reco you go all the way: We stayed in the Zamrud suite - such a treat to climb UP into your four poster bed after a bath in that gigantic tub (you can't not). and if not occupied, make sure you get a tour of the luxury rooms- they are beautifully and very creatively designed. great location too for Bromo tours and all kinds of city exploring- Malang is a lovely city- enjoy!"

Slow Villas and Spa: "Design und Gastfreundschaft"

"Wir können über die Slow Private Pool Villas nur Gutes berichten. Die Villen sind cool und gemütlich designed, das Frühstück ist wirklich sehr gut und man erhält super Informationen über die Insel und allfällige Aktivitäten. Mit den Slow Villas Fahrrädern (gegen eine angemessene Gebühr) erreicht man sämtliche Punkte auf der Insel in kürzester Zeit und es macht auch Spaß mit dem Rad die Gegend zu erkunden. In der ganzen Woche, in der wir über die Insel gefahren sind, hätten wir keine Unterkunft gesehen, wo wir lieber gewesen wären als in den Slow Villas. Wir hatten eine super Zeit und bedanken uns noch für die super Organisation der Aktivitäten (Snorkling Trip, SUP, Tauchen)."

Reverie Siam: "Loved it and will definitely come back"

"This hotel came strongly recommended by a friend and I wasn't disappointed. Though it's not far from the relatively busy center of Pai (the resort provides a free shuttle service), the Reverie Siam feels like a different world. It's perfectly peaceful, with nothing but mountains and green fields as far as the eye can see. There's a lovely colonial aesthetic to the place and an attention to detail that I really enjoyed (books left open to specific passages in rooms, benches engraved with quotes). The staff honestly couldn't have been more thoughtful. From arranging a dinner reservation and dropping me at the restaurant to purchasing bus tickets and making sure I got a good seat for my return journey, they definitely went the extra mile to make my time more enjoyable. The breakfast, which comes with options like cappuccino French toast with caramelized mango, is also a big plus. I'm looking forward to coming back here. It's the perfect spot to curl up for a weekend and I'd happily recommend it to anyone."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quaint Resort"

Wonderful resort with picturesque view...away from city noise and busy life, you enjoy beauty of nature. On the shore of Arabian Sea the resort is very peaceful... spacious rooms with open courtyard bathroom , overlooking sea what else one can ask for. Cordial, friendly and efficient staff ... always smiling and ready to serve you . Variety of food not much but what they give you is all fresh, healthy and tasty. They have infinity pool almost connected with beach. Lot of greenery and different variety of flowers keep you happy. Onam festival was near so they did amazing flower decoration. If someone wants calm holiday then this is the perfect choice.

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "A very special place"

I would echo Meredith, Dan and others who have given this a rating of five - or more. We enjoyed every minute of our time at Muang La Lodge and would have stayed longer if we could have. From the moment we walked through the gates, we felt well cared for and knew we were in good hands at a very special location. The care they take, not only with their guests but with the local villagers, is palpable. We had a room overlooking the river - and the "public" hot springs used the the villagers (which the hotel built for them in exchange for the villagers allowing the hotel to use water from the hot springs). While I was initially concerned upon hearing this, it ended up being a great thing to watch villagers young and old come and use it in the later afternoon. Staff was incredible and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well cared for. Both breakfast and dinner were fabulous. The grounds were beautiful and well cared for. Our room was well appointed and very comfortable. The quality of sleep was wonderful: the bed was great with high-quality pillows, and the room was quiet with only a hint of sound from the river outside, which made it even easier to sleep. What are you waiting for - book now!
