Amata Lanna: "A quiet gem in the heart of Chiang Mai"

What a great find, quiet, clean and comfortable, and more than I was expecting. Thank you Yu for all your help, you were the perfect host. This hotel is very close to the night bazaar and restaurants. There are loads of travel shops advertising trips, but we used the nearest one just around the corner and had a great trip with them. The White Palace and the Black House are a must to see as they are so unique. On a rainy day we went to the 3D art exhibition at Art in Paradise, it was such good fun, and far more than an exhibition.

Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Amazing scenery and gorgeous dinner"

Nightscape of Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun featuring great dinner and music. Especially wonderful and kind service.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Sounds like a cliche but this really is a hidden gem"

"Really great characterful and classy colonial style hotel. Very comfortable, friendly helpful staff and a very good Thai restaurant. Somebody with a lot of money and style has set this hotel up. Lots of lounge areas with interesting trinkets and there's a full shared kitchen on the second floor. A short walk from the sky train so easy to get to other parts of the city."

Tugu Lombok: "Sehnsuchtsort"

"Wir hatten 4 wunderschöne Tage im Tugu auf Lombok in der Bagavatgita-Suite. Der direkte Zugang zum Strand ist toll und auch das nächtliche Bad im eigenen Pool. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und romantisch. Trotzdem waren unsere beiden kleinen Kinder immer überall willkommen. Ausgezeichnetes Essen. Herzlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Vielen Dank an das ganze Team. Ein Highlight für die Weiterfahrt war das Übersetzen nach Gili T mit dem hauseigenen Holzboot. Stayed August 2016, traveled with family"

Heritage Suites Hotel: "Far from the tourist crowd"

We had a Bungalow Suite in this lovely hotel, a very roomy option. This is a small hotel that definitely lives up to the information on the web site. The hotel is in a residential area many blocks away from the tourist hype, which made it quite relaxing. The staff was extremely attentive to our every need. While it is possible to take a tuk tuk to any area restaurant, the hotel's kitchen is excellent, so a nice alternative after a tiring day of visiting sites. (Note that the better restaurants in Siem Reap require reservations, which the hotel staff were happy to make.) The whole Siem Reap area operates on U.S. dollars, and the hotel had a ready supply of the small bills needed for many purchases.

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Amazing food, peerless produce, great service"

"The food was amazing - I work in a Michelin star kitchen and it baffles me how CWD has yet to get at least one Michelin star. We chose Tasting Menu 2: Amuse Bouche Duck Confit with Crispy Rice Steamed Mekong Langoustine Tonle Sap Croaker Fish Angkor Stout Pulled Pork Green & Ripe Mango Tart Fresh Seasonal Fruit Platter We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the eating the last bites of the each dish made me so sad, knowing that the experience would soon be over. For 31usd per pax, excluding drinks - I thought we got more than a fair deal for the amount and the quality of the food. Chef Joannès Rivière was also kind enough to oblige us when we requested to take a photo with him at the end of the meal, which truly was the cherry on the cake. Merci Chef! & thank you Carole, for helping out with the birthday surprise! If we ever make the visit to Siem Reap again, it'd definitely be just for Cuisine Wat Damnak. "

Tugu Bali: "The Best Bali Experience"

I've been coming to Bali for 30 years and this is by far the best Hotel I've stayed in. We originally booked for 4 nights and ended up staying for close to 3 weeks? Staff are exceptional, the location is amazing and the rooms are full of character. The X- Large bed is very comfortable and the attention to detail throughout the entire hotel is a reflection of the Management and staffs commitment in providing a memorable experience. Cannot recommend this Hotel more highly.

Tugu Lombok: "Pure delight"

"We stayed 5 nights to end our honeymoon. The staff goes the extra mile. The grounds are spectacular. Our room felt like a luxury adventure in itself, outdoor shower, giant bed, Balinese art everywhere. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, especially couples who want a low key and relaxing getaway. The staff set up several tours and all were incredible. Tiu Kelep waterfall is a must."

Rachamankha: "Slice of heaven in Chiang Mai"

This hotel was absolutely beautiful and a refuge to come home to after a day strolling the busy streets of Chiang Mai. There is always a wonderful aroma of incense around the property...I think it was Sandalwood, but nevertheless was just delicious. The rooms were spacious and the bed was so comfortable, again after a long day. The lounges that surround the property are also delightful and I just wish I had had more time to sit and read and enjoy a drink while enjoying the decor. It is an elegant property, yet not stuffy and very welcoming.

THE SAMAR: "THE SAMAR"

" Siem Reap itself is something else. You can feel certain peace and tranquility immidiately after you land there. When you check in to hotel Samar Villa & Spa, this feeling of serenity and relaxation comes to it's full power. It is situated just a bit outside of the city centre limits, which is actually great. Tuk tuk is affordable so a 4,5 minute ride to the Siem Reap centre is really not a problem. On a contrary, nice way to cool down after a hot day in Angkor temples, before you step into the Samar swimming pool. Check in procedure is really smooth and relaxing, with nice welcome drinks and towels provided for all. Hotel is not big, so even if they are full, you are almost all the time alone and you feel like you have it all just for yourself. Staff are very nice and provide help but privacy in the same time, which we appreciated highly. Rooms are so nice, in french colonial style, maintained well, decorated with style. Breakfasts were so delicious, there is no buffet, but you can order your daily choice and they will prepare it for you. Very tasty. Some of the comments before were negative (eg maintainance, insect spraying,...). We found them not to be true, and as far as insects are concerned, of course they have to spray, but as the end result you can have nice relaxing evenings without bugs and mosquitos. They do it during the day, when all/most guests are out, exploring temples.... All in all, i really hope me and my family will come back to Cambodia and Siem Reap soon. Then we will stay in Samar again for sure! It is for every recommendation."
