Mathis Retreat: "Un seul mot…fabuleux"

"We fell in love with this intimate hotel with magnificent views of a rice field ... The rooms are spacious and very clean and are limited in number which gives its charme.a hotel. Breakfasts are hearty and fresh. We had dinner every night at the hotel restaurant and the Terracotta entire card is excellent. We recommend the tuna tataki input a killer! The Mathis offers a free shuttle to downtown. Very friendly staff and very caring. In the evening we are surrounded by the sound of crickets and frogs ... the morning woken by birds .. the dream :-) "

Mie Cafe: "Wonderful discovery for Khmer fusion food"

We have been living in Cambodia for 20 months now and have tried a lot on the evolving Top Ten restaurant must-try. Now here is one quiet, unassuming restaurant off the tourist spots in Siem Reap that we found to be REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Chef Pola is Khmer and very creative with local cuisine plus his talent and training abroad makes it world class gourmet. What can I say.. I even tried the red ants and eggs on the menu and liked the entire dish. Just give the tuktuk driver the address and he can bring you there.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A space for nature"

"Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge manages to knit together the very best in comfort, service and food, whilst making space for nature. A difficult feat to achieve, but one that I and my mother very much appreciated. There is no forced planting of exotic, introduced flowers and tightly strimmed grass, which seems to have become the standard everywhere around the world in boutique hotels and lodges. Instead, the focus is on allowing the smaller but essential things in life to flourish, such as butterflies and solitary bees, without the average guest even knowing these wonderful insects are there. Marcus and his team recognise the importance and value of these pollinators (we would have no coffee or chocolate if it was not for insects pollinating the flowers of these plant species!) and have cleverly crafted and created an environment that allows space for all. This is an ideal place for birding, but even better if you are interested in Lepidoptera. The team's knowledge and enthusiasm is nothing short of incredible, and I am truly in awe that so much time and effort is invested in compiling inventories of what they have found there. It is clear that this is not just a passing interest, or an attempt at green-wash to enhance visitor numbers, but a genuine desire to accurately record the diversity of the lodge. Many congratulations to you all. You have achieved the trickiest of things by providing first class accommodation, food and service without compromising the location. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Inle Princess Resort: "Amazing hotel."

"Stayed at Inle princess for 2 nights on a family holiday to Burma. We had 3 rooms in total and unfortunately we didn't get the front river rooms but even the standard rooms are quite unique and special in their design and construction. It was cold in the month of February especially in the evenings and night but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The bathroom got much colder but it was manageable. We travelled by boat throughout our two days in inle- which was also an amazing experience. Service at the hotel was excellent. We usually ate our lunches in the market, but had all the dinners in the hotel itself as it's not possible to travel out at night. Every avocado dish was outstanding. We also got a 60 mins couple massage at the hotel which was ok. Disappointed that they didn't have the option to take a steam included with the message as this was priced separately and the amenities/ facilities didn't seem worth the extra cost. Overall a great stay, beautiful hotel, highly recommend!"

The River Resort: "Great place to relax"

I was in search of a place that I could relax and do some writing and this place could not have served the purpose better. I initially booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 10 nights, the surrounding is exquisite, the staff is on top of their game and the sunsets are stunning. Every evening during the rainy season there is an amazing chorus of crickets - its like an orchestra playing. If you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and clear your mind this place is it. The rooms are super clean with an inside and outside shower, the bed is super comfy and there are two infinity swimming pools but the river. I miss this place and would definitely go back there again.

David’s Kitchen: "Great food prepared with love"

We ate at David's kitchen twice in a week. Discovering David's Kitchen was a wonderful treat! Lovely food and great service! Thank you David to you and your staff for a great culinary experience .

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Love Tugu Bali"

We stayed in Puri Le Mayeur and we were blown away. It is such a magic place that I chose here to propose to my girlfriend. She was not at all disappointed. We had our own private pool and dining area and the bathroom was amazing with your own private fish pond!

Samanea Beach Resort: "Outstanding hotel!"

"his was our second stay in 2015 at the Samanea Beach Resort. And once again we were not dissapointed. This stay was for six days in December 2015, and what a time we had!! The Samanea is by far the best choice in Kep, also compared to the fancy more downtown place. Here at Samanea Beach you get our own individual house in a lush tropical garden. Our house was again VERY comfortable. Huge king bed, sofa arrangement, dresser, wardrobe and in general very spacious living. All amenities from a 4-5 star hotel. The bath room is almost the best part. It's situated en suite but outdoors in your own totally private yard. Very nice, romantic and comfortable. Restaurant, pool area, private beach, private pier - hey just look at the pictures. It's just a WONDERFUL place. The staff is great. Especially the guys working in the restaurant are just fantastic! Only hickup: the wifi could be better!"

Villa Song Saigon: "Away from the hustle and bustle"

"I am so pleased I chose this hotel after reading previous reviews. It is in district 2 but the hotel provided a taxi boat to the centre of Saigon and it was lovely to get back to serenity after a full day of sightseeing. The bedroom we had was huge! The pool area was lovely. There is no set time for breakfast! You can have it anytime when you get up, I wish more hotels would do this. The staff are very professional and nothing is too much of a problem. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Mie Cafe: "Amazing dinner in Cambodia-Siem Reap"

Excellent Chef! What a great and wonderful surprise! I strongly recommend! The food was superb and the service is top. Best dinner in Cambodia! It would be a successful restaurant in Europe!
