Jing’s Residence: "Zen & Classicism"

We planned 2 nights and stayed a week, absolutely smitten by the abundant charm, the historical atmosphere, the perfection in every detail and the friendly helpful staff. Expensive? Yes but worth every yuan.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful historic hotel"

The hotel has been impressively restored with great attention to detail filled with character. Our room (The Mandarin) was spacious, very clean and airy with a large luxurious bathroom. We enjoyed having breakfast in the open courtyard surrounded by green plants and antiques. The children loved the pool. This place was perfect for our young family. We would definitely love to return!

Babe: "Amazing view, amazing food"

The restaurant is on the 11th floor of an office block, and has uninterrupted views of the twin towers and KL skyline. Everyone in our party took pictures, including the locals. The food is modern Japanese. We had the tasting menu which had some great items. However we ordered a couple from the menu and they were fantastic too. If you are there for a birthday then let them know - the card you get is unique

Sukoon Houseboat: "Beautiful Houseboat – Wonderful Staff"

"I booked a ""tailor-made"" Sukoon experience, including a ""3 days camp & hike"" in the Aru Valley, a local hiking tour outside of Srinagar, and a 3 nights stay on the houseboat. First of all - the planning and organisation of all these individual parts of my ""Sukoon experience"" was perfectly well done by the Sukoon people. The camp in Aru Valley was luxurious with a ""real bed"" in my spacious tent, carpets, a little table with a mirror and bed side tables. Just outside the sleeping tent there was a ""outhouse"" tent, with a comfy toilet in it, and a washing tent, with towels and hot & cold water in buckets. While Manzoor and Rashid guided me on my hikes and took me to many beautiful spots in the Aru and Lidder Valley, Amin, the cook, prepared the most delicous Indian meals I could imagine. What he created in his pretty basic kitchen tent was just amazing - and I enjoyed every bite of all his heavenly curries and dishes, especially after a day-long hike.... I felt pampered from A-Z. Then I returned to Srinagar where the rest of the Sukoon Crew welcomed me very warmly. The boat itself is a jewel in Dal Lake - with beautiful wooden walls, ceilings and floors, spacious rooms, indoor dining room as well as a deck with an outdoor dining area and sunbeds/umbrellas for relaxing hours. The houseboat is reachable by the Sukoon´s own engine-driven Shikara. Every time you need a ride, the Shikara is made ready for you within minutes. The soul of Sukoon, and what makes this beautiful houseboat so homely, is the Sukoon people, with Bashir, Ashiq, Passang, Bela, and of course the kitchen crew around chef Amin. They just do all they can (and even more) to make every stay on Sukoon a very memorable one. They all live the great Kashmiri hospitality - and guest satisfaction always comes first. Srinagar and Kashmir are so well worth a visit - and I (solo female traveller) felt 100 % safe, wherever I went, in town as well as in the mountains. So - go ahead - and enjoy and discover this unique place!!! THANK YOU dearest Sukoon-housboat-team for making my stay such a wonderful one. (One thing about Reservation/Administration that is done by the headoffice in Delhi - Please be careful when making international bank transfers as in my case the money never arrived. Even though the problem with the payment is not yet solved I am full of admiration how the manager of Sukoon in Srinagar, Mr. Muslim Naqash, is handling this case. THANK YOU!!!)"

Tugu Bali: "Best experience, a must in Bali"

"Paradise! From the staff, the hotel, the service and amenities, rooms.... I felt at home. I can't stress how much it's worth every penny, and that you will cherish and be thankful that you treated yourself to this little piece of paradise."

Babe: "Amazing"

The staff could not do enough for you. The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere and scenery was a delight. Perfect for romantic evenings or meal with friends. Definitely at the top end of the market for luang prabang bit worth every penny

Labyrinth: "Unique dishes and nice décor"

The dishes were a unique blend (and play) of local cuisine with out-of-box ideas. The squid and saffron bak chor mee was delightful, and the tiger prawn risotto was amazing. Would love to be back again

Reverie Siam Pai: "Stunning"

This is an absolute gem, if you want to have a relaxing stay at a stunning hotel resort then do yourself a favour and book a room here. The staff cannot do enough for you and the food is out of this world, there's normally live, relaxing music being played while you sit having your meal or enjoying a cocktail in the most comfortable seats going. I cannot rate this place highly enough, we will enjoy a return visit, hopefully this year. Go on treat yourself.

The Twelve Hotel: "Wonderful hotel"

Beautiful rooms and amazing breakfast, with owners and staff who are very welcoming, attentive and helpful. We loved our stay and will definitely come back if we are in Bangkok again. Highly recommended!

Villa Song Saigon: "Height of luxury"

"We treated ourselves to a stay here on the last night of our holiday. It isn't cheap but does offer an exceptional experience. Just taking the speed boat into town makes it worth it! They organized a great tour to the tunnels for us and we enjoyed sitting in the peaceful gardens by the river drinking cocktails. The room is a luxurious boutique standard. The pool is a great size and lovely temperature. The only thing that could be improved is that the attitude of some of the reception staff was a bit snooty, it could be more universally warm and welcoming. Everybody was polite though and it felt very special to stay here."
