4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Tents with style"

Review by: ronnieredneck | Source: tripadvisor.com
We arrives here after a very long drive fro Phnom Penh and how unusual was it? Reception and booking in twenty minutes by boat from the actual hotel ---bliss. Lovely setting in a river that is just magical with staff mostly from the local village being trained up -- loved it. Rooms are posh tents and are comfortable quiet and well equipped. Our welcome was warm and personal and without exception the staff were efficient professional friendly and eager to please. We took the trip to the waterfalls and spent a very pleasant few hours swimming kayaking and generally enjoying the sights of the area. Our guide was superb and made the trip really enjoyable and memorable. Kayaking the best part of half a mile down the river whilst our guide took piccies was really good fun. Thanks to everyone involved in this worthwhile project in a stunning setting

David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful restaurant!"

Review by: lil_t0 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My mom and I recently travelled to Chiangmai and had a wonderful meal at David's Kitchen! Everything was delicious but the pumpkin soup was amazing and a must try!! The owners and staff could not have been nicer. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Chiangmai. Also a wonderful addition to our experience which made getting to the restaurant so easy was a pickup service (at an additional cost) to and from our hotel. Made getting to the restaurant so easy!"

Misool Eco Resort: "Very special place"

Review by: Rosannad6 | Source: tripadvisor.com
Just spent 9 days diving at MER. It is a bit of a trek to get to but well worth it. Don't hesitate to go. It is an extremely special place. Apart from the lovely friendly staff, great food and relaxing accommodation all made from recycled wood, the conservation work they are doing is extremely special. Make sure to attend the presentations in the Dive Centre on Mantas and the building of Misool Eco Resort, very interesting. We had great vis most of the time. The highlight had to be Magic Mountain where we had a magical encounter with 6 mantas who stayed around the whole dive and performed for us. Other favourite dives included Nudi Rock, Fiabacet and Wedding Cake. (...) A special thanks to the managers, Sue and Mark who's hospitality and personal service was wonderful. What enjoyable evenings we had chatting with them and the other great guests we shared the island with that week. We also had the honor of being the first guests in their new coffee shop which is located in front of Sorong airport. It is sure to be a great success. Tastefully done and makes a great departure lounge. The MER staff went and checked us in while we sipped coffee and browsed for last minute memorabilia. Then, half hour before the flight we were transported to the airport and walked straight through and onto our plane.

Maison Polanka: "Beautiful rooms, amazing service"

Review by: Soghi | Source: Trip Advisor
Felt like a home not a hotel, from the warm welcome to the beautiful rooms. Everything is spotless, and the staff so helpful, esp with arranging tours . The restaurant is superb, and my wife particularly loved the coffee too! So much care has been taken with every aspect that I really can't fault anything. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful stay, and we will definitely return.

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Loved everything about the Cabochon"

Review by: Charlotte W | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed here for two nights' stopover from Europe en route to Australia. It was a glorious way to finish a hectic holiday - the spaces are peaceful and beautifully curated, our room was lovely, cool and quiet with large balcony to let the lush warm air in occasionally (aircon was perfect, however) and the shower was amazingly powerful. The staff are kind, warm, super helpful without being pushy, and the food is really excellent - much better than a meal we had at a vaunted restaurant in town. We did not want to leave, and will definitely be back.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Glamping with a Conscience"

Review by: Daisy V | Source: Trip Advisor
I love travelling and always chose to camp, and as it's in my bucket list, I went to luxury style of camping. And man,i was shocked!
This lodge is more than just camping! They are so enganged with the preservation of the flora & fauna in this rainforest,and they are very involved in community projects, amazing!
Of course i asked about what things i could do during my 2 days stay.
And they suggested that I visit a place called Kokong knong (not sure of spelling!)
4Rivers team are raising funds to build a proper classrom for more than 30 students in this village. Guess what? This village is almost 2 hours away (by boat) from 4rivers floating lodge,but they were so thoughtful of the people here!
The 2 days is the most fulfilling, most fun camping experience i have ever had.
Now, I changed my bucket list. I am now looking for places that have the same passion and uniqueness as this lodge. I love camping!

Tugu Malang: "Superb hotel"

Review by: Fraser R | Source: Trip Advisor
"After staying at a different Tugu Hotel in Lombok I decided to stay here while wanting to visit Mount Bromo. The staff and service here as well as food was excellent! Also the Spa if you are a couple go for the couple's option of 4 hour massage treatment as it's well worth it to try out. If you are wanting to visit Mount Bromo the hotel can arrange a private Jeep to take you there and back which is great and the guide and the driver were very helpful and super polite. Certainly make this a consideration if you are visiting Malang. Just to let you know that its around 2.5hrs drive from Surabaya to the hotel which they can arrange for you too."

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Sanctuary by the Saigon River"

Review by: DavidChallinger | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This is an outstanding hotel. Beautifully refurbished former French colonial mansion with about 25 rooms. We stayed in a Sanctuary room on the top floor. High quality dining at tables beside the Saigon river. Rooms are beautifully decorated with every facility. Loved the TV that rotated 360. The hotel's own speedboat runs a shuttle service to the city centre. Staff excellent. Attention to detail (eg anti mossy spray on dining tables) My wife had a birthday while we were there. Bouquet of flowers and special cake unsolicited. "

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Fabulous Food in a Fabulous Setting"

Review by: Wendy K | Source: Trip Advisor
We were not staying here but came to look at the resort and eat a late lunch after four hours of visiting ruins on bicycles. We were hot and sweaty so definitely appreciated the cool, open restaurant. Delicious drinks. Delicious homemade bread, along with chilled cucumber soup, chicken sate, banana leaf shrimp salad, potato curry, and ice cream for dessert. Excellent service provided by Kyaw Soe Paing and the staff he was training. An expensive treat to ourselves but well worth it!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Too bad there are no 6 star ratings"

Review by: MarieLgx | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at 4 Rivers for a week, and wish we could have stayed for a month. As the boat arrives and the machine is turned off, you look around and you know you are going to spend an incredible time. This place is like no other: not only it has reached perfection in service, style, cleanliness and comfort, but also it allows you to rest and relax while appreciating all the beauties of the region. Yet the most exceptional thing about this resort is the staff. They have been caring, extraordinary helpful from the beginning until the very last moments. We cannot thank you enough for what you've done… but we'll try ;) First, thank you Bona for giving us the warmest greeting, making sure to explain everything, and taking on board with us to the resort (plus, your cocktails are delicious). Then, a big thanks to the tour guides, Vy, Sambo and Naren, you are great people and the funniest guys. Thank you to the restaurant team, Kenneth and E-J, you were adorable and always smiling. Thank you Adonis for your constant good mood, your big smile and your fun personality. Last but not least, thank you Anna for your precious time and for being the most amazing encounter we had in Cambodia. Keep doing what you do for the local children, for the biodiversity and for your team!! We will definitely come back... Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"
