Maisons Wat Kor: "Beautiful hidden gem – perfect for a relaxing getaway"

Sadly we only stayed for one night, it is the perfect place to relax especially since it is a little out of town. The Cambodian style villas are cozy with a good range of amenities (just wish they provided some shampoo and shower gel in the bathrooms), the pool and pond areas are lovely with all the tropical plants and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the morning sitting on the deck overlooking the lotus flower pond and the afternoon swimming in the pool (surprisingly the water was cool despite the heat). The food in the restaurant was fresh and delicious. The server went out of his way to cut us fresh coconuts from the tree. Definitely a place to return to for another weekend getaway.

Locavore: "Birthday dinner"

Me and my wife loved the experience there and just how creative they were with the menu! Recommend it for a special evening

Dewakan: "Amazing culinary experience"

We have such lovely dining experience there and feel really proud to have such good quality fine dining in Malaysia. We love how they tweaked the local ingredients in every single dish they served even for the cake we separately ordered for our friend (we were there for birthday celebration). The cake was so beautifully presented and the birthday girl was very happy and satisfied with the cake (jackfruit with creamcheese) and of course the entire dinner.

The Island Lodge: "Unexpected gem"

I signed up for a two day tour of Mekong delta and the itinerary simply stated that we will stay in a boutique hotel in the delta. Well, this place is special. We arrived by boat and was immediately immersed in a paradise environment. It is located on the banks on Mekong (one of the rivers of the delta) and it is surrounded by lush landscaping. I took advantage of many bikes they provide and biked around the island, which was very easy trip because of the flat profile. The hotel itself is superb in their services, perfect pool, excellent restaurant and very helpful staff. I felt like in Marguerite Duras' novel for fantastic 16 hours. The only drawback was that I could stay only for less than one day but it was worth it. I need to come back and stay longer, I simply loved it.

Villa Song Saigon: "The very best Hotel in Vietnam if not SE Asia"

"As my review title says this is hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed at, Ive travelled the world and been luckily enough to stay at some amazing places but this place is just something else. Room: I booked this hotel for 2 nights to finish off my mini tour of Vietnam and my only complaint was I didn't book it for longer. We had the sanctuary river room which was stunning this room also had a small balcony however not all rooms do so its worth double checking, I didn't realise this and the hotel allocated the balcony room to us via email which is a fantastic touch. The room itself was large spacious and bright with modern touches but keeping its french colonial style and i don't think I've ever slept in a more comfortable or bigger bed! It must be about 10 foot long. Service: Absolutely out of this world. From the moment you arrive to check out all staff are helpful friendly and literally can't do enough to ensure your stay is a memorable one. On our last day we didn't fly till midnight so had asked if possible could we have a late check out, unfortunately for us the hotel was fully booked but we were assured that we could shower and use all facilities until we were ready to leave. 5 minutes after being told this Yega the GM called our room and offered us another room to use until 6PM as they didn't have anyone arriving to that room until 7.30PM that night. This was an amazing helpful gesture and made our last day much more comfortable the hotel only has 23 rooms all designed differently so i can see sometimes when full how it can be a logistical nightmare to accommodate such requests as ours but they were met without any problems and no extra charge. We only eat here once for dinner and the food was out of this world Kevin the head chef is always around mingling with guests telling you about his food and wines, He's a very talented knowledgeable man who really is at the top of his game in his role, He took time to tell me how they prepared and cooked the pork i had as well as asked us which strength cheeses and flavours we liked for the cheese board after dinner. Al A Carte Breakfast was amazing the both times we had it a wide range of western,healthy and asian cuisine to choose from. The eggs Benedict are a must all served with fresh fruits and juices and coffee. You can have this from 6AM till 10PM these are the little touches that set this hotel apart from anywhere else. Lastly make sure you make use of the hotels free speedboat to district 1. Miss all the madness of the traffic and speed up the saigon river taking in the views. There was only me and my partner on the boat and the captain took some amazing pics of us with the HCM skyline in the background he was great and it was a memorable experience. Villa Song Saigon i will be back!"

Manda De Laos: "Romantic dinner by the pond"

We stayed at Maison Dalabua (same property) and were lucky to get reservations the first night of our stay. Great food (Laotian with a French touch). Good cocktails and all at very moderate prices - maybe not for local standads (one can eat cheaper in town) but considering the quality of food very reasonably priced.

Dewakan: "Amazing experience – does justice to local produce!"

"What an amazing experience, we were blown away by the flavours - almost exploding in our mouths at every bite. The last time I experienced something similar was in Heston Blumenthal's Dinner restaurant in London, so I would say this is pretty close! We were amazed at what they could do with locally sourced ingredients and they truly did justice to Malaysian flavours. Kudos to the team there. Highly recommended to try at least once!"

Tugu Malang: "Amazing and they know what GF means!"

Loved this place! Simply beautiful and charming! Every detail, every flower and candle was just perfect. The hotel is very clean and everybody is kind and helpful! We had dinner at the restaurant and I have to admit that I was a bit nervous telling them about my celiac disease and how they had to be careful! The menager himself discuss with me about what I could eat and how everything had to be done! I had an amazing dinner and a delicious breakfast!!! Rubby as well manage to treat us so well making us feel at home!!! Definetly a place to stay!!!

Rahai'i Pangun Wildlife River Cruises: "Extraordinary 3d2n with wow Borneo"

We chose Wow Borneo because they had the safest looking boats for our small children whilst having competetive prices. We had the boat to ourselves and a lovely crew. The food included some of the best local dishes we've had in Indonesia in 2+ years. Our guide, Faisal, knew his stuff and was great with the kids. We woke on both mornings to see large male orang utans hanging in trees yards from our boat. We saw probiscus monkeys, endangered Storm's storks, gibbons,macaques and crocs too. A fantastic trip. Do it.

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "Simply the best"

Had this short break from work few months ago, and a friend recommended Tugu as we’re familiar with the group’s restaurant in Jakarta. The stay was the highlight after spending time in Gili, meals were surprisingly good although a bit pricy, amazing location, and the service was excellent. Thumbs up for all the staff, so friendly and super helpful. Will definitely comeback next year! YEAYY
