Pindaya Farm House: "Amazing stay at the farmhouse"
Had an unforgettable one night with my family of 5 adults and 2 kids several weeks ago. Amazing serenity surrounded by beautiful mountainview and farm, in which the property host raises various kinds of fresh veggies and herbs. The rooms were equipped with comfortable beds, and the modern style shower was a pleasant surprise! My favorite part of the property...SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Awesome !"
Lucia and Felix Eppiser have built a beautiful , tastefully done restaurant and are excellent hosts ! Service is personalized and efficient . Will go back again Sid from Shangri-laNeeleshwar Hermitage: "One of India’s best boutique beach resorts"
"Just 18 bungalows/rooms, each beautifully and comfortably furnished with their own semi-outdoor bathrooms. Efficient air conditioning. Spa with a range of treatments and massages. An endless white sand beach. Good sized pool although more sunloungers might be a good idea. Yoga centre. Two restaurants to choose from: one on the beach which is especially fabulous at breakfast. Fresh seafood and lots of local dishes too. And everything is set in beautiful gardens. A truly relaxing place to stay. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Fantastic place !"
"A really place, quite ans sophisticated in a very quite area, next to Battambang, Beautiful décoration in traditional khmer houses. The atmosphère in the evening with the small lac illuminated is Wonderfull. Also we loved the restaurant : very good and cheap. It is better to stay there than to go to Battambang. Can be good for a long stay to enjoy the area."Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Excellent"
"Beautiful setting. Less than 20 cottages spread out over a fairly large area so privacy is virtually guaranteed. Rooms are well appointed including a semi open bathroom in the garden view room we stayed in. Good dining options with the beachside restaurant our favourite. The beach itself is amazing running in both directions as far as the eye can see with not a soul in sight. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended."Cuca: "Pengalaman Makan Siang yang sangat berkesan & menarik"

"I heard about how good Mesastila is since their name was still Losari. I have been dreaming to come here for a very long time and finally my wish do come true and every single one in our group were so impressed by Mesastila's grace and charm. 22 hectars of land divided into two areas. Each 11 hectares. One area for coffee plantation and the other for only 23 villas. If full booked, this giant space is only want to accommodate 60 guests !!!! Now that is LUXURY ! The more you know about this place the more you will feel your money is well spent. The view is also absolutely beautiful ... Bring your whole family here and just let Mesastila take care of you."Jing’s Residence: "Old world charm in total comfort"
"This is a lovely hotel in the historic city of Pingyao. The owner has spared no expense to create a comfortable hotel but you definitely know that you are in China. It is located in the center of the small town so it is convenient for sightseeing and walking. The staff was personally trained by the owner and they are always attentive. It is a very special place. "The Cabochon Hotel: "This is a true boutique accommodation – wish we hadn’t left"
"We easily found the Cabochon (using transit on our first morning in Bangkok). We were greeted by the staff who took care of our luggage, got us inside for an instant check-in and took us to the little library for a refreshing coconut water drink. We were able to enter our room early with no charge because it was clean and ready. When we travel we prefer to stay in unusual accomodations. We chose well selecting the Cabochon Hotel for our first trip to Bangkok. The Cabochon is like an old mansion from before the war. You enter a quiet world of reduced light, and cool marble floors and steps. Vintage wood furniture and objets everywhere. Lovely people working hard to make you feel comfortable during your stay with them. This hotel is a labor of love. We enjoyed having our breakfast outside on the front veranda under the trees. There is a breakfast area as well as a little restaurant. You can stop by the bar for a drink or a latte. Our room was a nice size - not huge because we're in another era here but not cramped like Japan - with dark wood floors, old style windows, vintage style white tiled bathroom and crisp well made beds. You could see the care the housekeeper had put into making the room nice. We were only steps off busy Sukhumvit Road but couldn't hear it or smell the exhaust. The rooms aren't smoked in so you're spared that too. While we enjoyed being out and about we also needed a refuge to replenish ourselves. I hope this review helps someone find their way to the Cabochon. If you prefer a big sterile room and a hotel with a noisy bar/karaoke/disco scene don't come here. If you want the experience of being a traveler from another time yet with modern comfort you'll love it. This is the place to be. Room Tip: There are no ice machines or noisy people in the halls here. It wasn't too hot when we stayed s...

"The only downside to our stay is it wasn't long enough. Jing's Residence surpassed our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived we felt like we had walked into a dream. The hotel is beautiful and full of history. Even though you are in the centre of the walled old city of Pingyao it is quite and peaceful. The staff is amazing and made us feel so welcome. Our room was beautiful and spacious with seating outside in the courtyard, a perfect place to start your night and end your night. Make sure to eat here!!! The food is wonderful and fresh. My favorite was the local oat noodles, so much so I had it twice. I am a picky eater, because of dietary restrictions and was very well taken care of at Jing's Residence Restaurant. I did the paper cutting class, while my husband went out in the rain to walk the wall, and it was worth every penny to learn something new and to meet Deng Cui Ying. Please don't make the mistake we did and only stay one night. The small village of Old Pingyao is lovely and a day and a night is enough time to visit, but the extra night will let you truly relax and embrace the hotel. I can not thank Imam and his staff enough for the warm hospitality. Our stay with you was the best we had in China."
