Glenburn Tea Estate: "Paradise"

Review by: Charlotte H | Source: Trip Advisor
We had been told that Glenburn was a special place by others that had stayed, but that goes a little way to describe the experience that myself and my partner had... it's a truly magical destination. Our room Rangeet was stunning, as is the rest of the estate, so beautifully maintained by the meticulous staff and gardeners. We loved the communal dinners, especially the tea themed night which was extremely tasty. The staff throughout our stay were always very helpful and friendly, there is always someone around too. We decided to take the hike down to the river and have lunch there, which was beautiful, as again the food exceptional! I would also really recommend having a massage, one of the best I have ever had... We were lucky enough to see an extraordinary sunset one evening, I don't think there can be another view like it anywhere in Darjeeling. The whole place, and our stay felt so serene and relaxed that a special shout out must go to Jemima and Holly who manage the place and are obviously making sure things run so smoothly - thanks you two! My only complaint would be the road, lucky for Glenburn they have some of the best drivers in the world! Can't wait to go back.

Villa Mathis: "Excellent"

Review by: Thierry42300 | Source: Trip Advisor
Accueil, service, propreté, rien à dire sinon que tout est parfait, le restaurant est digne d'un 3 étoiles aux normes française. De plus, cet etablisement est géré par un français ce qui facilite le dialogue et les conseils sur les visites à réaliser sont d'autant plus appréciables. Nous conseillons cet etablisement aux charmes hors du commun. Attention toutefois si vous avez des enfants jeunes. Le nombre de points d'eau, piscines, ruisseaux font de cet établissement un endroit où 'il ne faut pas laisser vos enfants sans surveillances.

Cuca: "Wonderful Experience"

Review by: bilka | Source: Trip Advisor
We were a group of 7. We started with drinks out in the beautifully presented and very large garden then moved inside for dinner. We partook of the degustation menu and spent 3 hours marveling at the tastes of each dish. The kitchen is open to the view of all restaurant patrons. It was a wonderful experience.

Anopura: "Amazing creation in middle of nowhere"

Review by: VishvVijaeS | Source: Trip Advisor
"After reading trip advisor review, i booked this smallest luxury Oasis in middle of nowhere. There were no signages, google map was unable to assist you with direction, there was no signage outside the hotel and even the last patch of road was not in existence...... despite all this i just loved this property. I loved it for its tranquility, isolation and the creation of its maker. Anopura is very tastefully made and very professionally managed with limited people hanging on your head. The food was amazing and the dog 'Latika' was the best companion you could expect at a property like it, very well trained and joyful. Having just two rooms adds the charm to the place as it give you lot of privacy. This is simply great for couples looking for intimate and quality time with each other. Property has a beautiful square swimming pool made of black stone. There common place, kind of ‘baithak’, is very well planned and has comfortable seating, one can see 4/5 kind of mosquito repellants placed here as its an open area. I can keep telling all goodies about this place as my list in endless. Finally I will conclude that I fall in love with this place, will surely come again."

MesaStila: "Wonderful and different"

Review by: Debbie C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Just left beautiful Mesastila Hotel. In the middle of a coffee plantation surrounded by jungle. We stayed in a typical Javanese villa, like nothing I have stayed in before. It had lovely furniture and antiques and was huge. And as for the terrace-enormous. Fabulous spa and restaurant. The staff couldn't do enough for us. They arranged our trips and were friendly and polite. It is a very different kind of experience at Mesastila. The attention you expect but the buildings, history and immaculate gardens make it an experience you are unlikely to forget. Wonderful."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Relaxing"

Review by: JAWSBE01 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is excellent, I will certainly return. From the pick up at the airport, tea on route and the well appointed rooms I really can't fault it, the views from anywhere in the hotel are breathtaking, the food, although limited in choice is excellent, if you like walking and enjoy peace and quite this would be a great choice, additionaly the tea plantation and working factory are a great visit. Room Tip: A room with walk in shower is a good choice"

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "An Oasis on the Saigon Riverbank"

Review by: crystalyschang | Source: tripadvison.com
"We stay at Villa Song Saigon only for one night but we got a late check-out since our flight depart late in the evening. The shuttle boat is fabulous. You could book the schedule and enjoy a 20-min ride to the city center which avoid the bustling traffic on the road and feel like a celebrity. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and we have a variety of local flavor and western style to choose from. You could also enjoy the pool, whether swim or do nothing. Villa Song Saigon really is a romantic boutique hotel embodying the beauty of Saigon. "

Jings Residence: "Fabulous peaceful retreat in Pingyao"

Review by: Westedge2004 | Source: tripadvisor.com
A superb hotel - with attentive staff, very well appointed rooms and food second to none. The traditionally laid out courtyard, with room off it, provides a serene haven for recovery after a long journey (you must have travelled a long way to get to PIngyao!). The staff - led by Imam - are quietly attentive seeing to all of your needs. The room are well appointed and comfortable. If you can, eat in - the standard of food is the very highest. I wish there were more places like this!
