Yandabo Home: "A special place"

"Having enjoyed our river cruise from Bagan, we were whisked by a small boat to arrive at Yandabo Home and a warm greeting from the staff group. A real achievement to create this boutique hotel here, off the beaten track. Simple bedroom with a high quality bathroom and products and food well presented. Friendly staff took us to visit the local villages with tea and biscuits on the way on the boat back a nice touch. Thanks to all the team. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Island Lodge: "Perfect….except for the kids"

"From the moment you arrive until you leave you will be delighted with your stay here. The reception is a really nice touch especially with the owners both greeting you and welcoming you to the hotel. The rooms are spotless and the facilities very good. We had a river view double which has a great view of both the pool and the river. By far the highlight has to be the food. It is exceptional and very reasonably priced considering the isolated nature of the hotel. The hotel offers it's own various boat trips on the river for a variety of lengths and budgets and the your guide provided is very good. We had a massage on our last night which was by far the best we had during our holiday in Vietnam. Our only issue was that this sort of tranquil place should be adults only. There were a few kids staying during our stay who were quite annoying. In my opinion it's just not the sort of place where you expect to get hit by a ball from the pool when trying to relax. If children are of the age where all they want to do is play with a ball in the pool I don't understand why a parent would insist on dragging them around the world to do that when Benidorm or Tenerfie would be more suitable. It's not exactly as if they are taking in the local culture. The staff did approach the parents which calmed them down for a bit. I understand it must be difficult to turn away custom but I think the hotel would benefit long term by having a minimum age limit. Regardless, we loved this hotel and the owners and all the staff are great and I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting South Vietnam and the Mekong Delta."

Tandjung Sari: "best place in Sanur"

"All the positive reviews are true. This is a very nice hotel. We had two large connecting rooms. Lots of privacy. The pool and the dining area is beautiful. The breakfast is amazing (beware for additional kilograms). OK, it is rather expensive, but comparing with other hotels next door (we stayed earlier in Respari and Taverna as well), it is worth it. The spot on the beach is great. Lots of restaurants and activity, while remaining the relaxed Sanur."

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing 2 day safari"

We had such a brilliant time with Noel and his staff at Leopard Safari. We were 2 families with 4 kids aged 7 to 11 years old. The campsite (or glampsite) was beyond my expectation. Everything is provided (including your own flushing toilet!). The food was the best I had in Sri Lanka and the staff were very helpful. There was even a pool to cool down and a lounge/bar area to have a pre-dinner drink and meet fellow guests. The actual safari trips were wonderful. It's not like Africa where the animals are everywhere, but it was so much fun and we saw a lot of them. We saw spotted deer, water buffalo, monkey's, wild boar, elephants, land monitors, wild chickens, many many beautiful birds, crocodiles and 3 leopards. I would highly recommend this safari.

Tugu Lombok: "WOW"

From the moment we stepped out of the cab my mouth dropped! Tradition, yes and then some! Massive, manicured grounds, Infinity Pools everywhere, your eyes feast from one marvel to another! The staff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating, they all knew my grandchildren's name in one day! If you wanted to have privacy the grounds are so massive you could have a secluded vacation here! Totally restful and awesome time here.

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "wonderful stay"

Lovely room, friendly staff. Much sightseeing in surrounding area. Sights that you would not see elsewhere. Six hour trip up the river from SIttwe was relaxing and very interesting. Stayed three nights. Not your average location but you get a terrific glimpse of the country

The Governor’s House: "An oasis in Phnom Penh"

"Went to Phnom Penh for 3 nights on a business trip. This was my second trip to the city and checked into The Governor's House. Initially somewhat difficult to locate which caused some distress. However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Tucked away just off a main thoroughfare, it is an oasis from the mad traffic of Phnom Penh. The establishment has only 12 rooms. After all it was a residence. And it certainly retained that warm homely feel. Once inside gate, one would enter into an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity - save for the play school next door. One may be deceived to think that this is an isolated location. There is a local market within a few minutes walk which offers a very interesting insight into the local life. I would recommend a morning visit. The establishment staff are warm and friendly adding to the homely atmosphere. While The Governor's House lacks the upscale look of other establishments near the tourist area closer to the river and palace, the warmth and tranquillity of this establishment more than make up for it. I will be coming back to The Governor's House again, soon."

Tugu Lombok: "Urlaub"

"Das Tugu Hotel ist ein Traum und ganz besonders für einen romantischen Urlaub zu empfehlen .In diesem Hotel stimmt alles!! Jeder Wunsch wird einem von den Augen abgelesen! Man fühlt sich wie in einer geborgen Familie, da es ein kleines ganz besonders liebevoll gepflegtes Hotel ist. Das Frühstück sensationell! Allerdings sehr einsam und abgelegen. Für Ruhesuchende Personen das perfekte Hotel. Stayed January 2017, traveled solo"

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Charming boutique hotel"

Great design, excellent food quiet. Lovely spot. I will definitely go back if I am in bkk again. Rooftop pool is added bonus. Helpful and friendly staff. I need to fill in 200 characters. So still writing.

Inle Princess Resort: "Wonderful resort"

This place has simply gotten things right. The service is amazing - staff constantly surprised us with their foresight and attention to details we sometimes forgot eg offering bottled water for our bike ride, calling ahead re our flights, farewell gifts, organising and accompanying us on our trips out, closing our window shutters in the evening, offering blankets when it got cold dining outside. It goes without saying that the resort is beautiful with spectacular views of the lake and the furnishings and design are tasteful. Decent selection for breakfast with something new each day. Homemade yoghurt was delicious. Dinner and lunch menus were also different each day - food was all tasty but wholesome and clean. The rooms are huge and comfortable. Only regret is we should have booked a lake view room, well worth the extra dollars!
