Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Exceptional stay in a very unique property"

"The property is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't stop taking pictures of all the intricate details. It felt surreal to wake up in such a beautiful hotel and I would definitely stay here again when I'm back in Penang. The room was spacious and comfortable with all amenities, a mini bar with free refreshments, daily fresh snacks like delicious cookies and other sweets, toiletries, big closets, a tv and a beautiful balcony perfect for enjoying my morning coffee. The breakfast was great with lots of choices. The fine dining restaurant Indigo is a must try! I recommend: the crispy duck leg and the coconut pineapple cake for dessert."

Arumdalu: "Arumdalu Resort Belitong, Great and Awesome Place!!!!"

"Arumdalu Resort was opened on May 2014, I would say a doubt at first time during on the way to the Resort taking by the Hotel driver, when I ask the Driver how good the Resort is, such as a food, area etc etc, he always said Lumayan ( Not too bad ) :), keeping me curious whether he doesnt even know the place or something that would say... you see the facts..... When I get there, Wow... unbelieve, its a completely remote area facing the amazing white sand and blue blue clean beach!!!! They have huge Villa and great pool exactly infront of the Villa. Beside the great Service from the staffs, Beautiful and clean Resort..(...) We really had Great time there and highly recommended, I love to come back!!!"

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Wonderful stay!"

It's as though we walked on the the set of "Out of Africa" with all the period pieces. Great location, staff,room was neat,clean and spacious. It's off the beaten track but then again most of the great places are.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "A hidden gem not to be missed!"

A stay at the Glenburn tea estate is a truly unforgettable experience and we loved every minute of it. Whichever way you look from the delightful gardens or from either of the beautiful bungalows there is a wonderful vista, even when the mountains are shrouded in mist. Unfortunately for us, the weather was not at its best when we stayed in late March/early April, but we were lucky enough to be there for 5 nights and so we at least had 2 fabulous mornings when we were treated to the breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga mountain range from the comfort of our room. Our room (Camelia) was fabulously spacious and beautifully decorated in English country house style with a lovely seating area, and French doors onto a small balcony with magnificent views. The bathroom was enormous with roll top bath and huge walk in shower. We did not see any of the other rooms but all other guests seemed just as impressed with theirs, and we gather the views are wonderful from each and every room. The food was delicious with an imaginative and varied menu and, despite initial reservations, we really rather enjoyed the communal dining in the evening. It was very interesting to meet such a variety of people from all over the world. I think perhaps my husband was a little bored on the last evening being the only man at a dining table full of rather verbose women! There was plenty to keep us amused during our 5 night stay with a visit to the tea factory, walks around the estate looking at the flowers, birds and butterflies, a lovely (though quite tiring) hike to the river camp with a tasty meal when we arrived, and a day trip into Darjeeling. We could have done a lot more but, after the hustle and bustle of Kolkata, and because the gardens were so idyllic, we relished in the opportunity to relax, reading, chatting, playing cards and drinking plenty of Glenburn First Flush tea! All of the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, and hats off to the multi-talented Nilima and Luna for being such lovely and well-informed guides, but also for running the shop and helping with the organisation of the staff welfare programme, amongst a multitude of other skills. A very big thank you to Jemima, Holly and all the staff for a truly memorable and delightful stay........ We hope we will return one day.

MesaStila: "Amazing MesaStila"

Just spent an amazing weekend here for our wedding anniversary. Lovely and peaceful, with views of Mt Merapi, in the middle of a coffee plantation. Beautiful Dutch colonial buildings and traditional Indonesian houses, fantastic food and wonderful staff. Tour of the coffee plantation was fascinating. Only 1 hr drive from Semarang airport (or 2 hrs from Yogya), so great for a weekend away from Jakarta!

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Beautiful Retreat in the Rice Fields"

"Beautiful hotel, villas, common rooms an gardens are extremely tastefully decorated. Nice pool, fantastic spa, very good food (best breakfast on Bali so far). We can recommend a trip to the base camp from the hotel with the possibility to drive with buggies further into the mountains. The view from the basecamp (eg sunset) is fabulous"

Maduzi Hotel: "Small, elegant, beautiful"

"This was the first time that I chose to stay in BKK at a smaller hotel. The choice is so varied and cheap in BKK that one is literally spoilt for choice. This one costs a little bit more but for that you essentially get a beautiful apartment like hotel room with every modern amenity and design feature. The breakfast is a pure joy in that it has the standard breakfast fair that most hotels do. The difference is in the quality and presentation. I felt loved and looked after by the staff who in quintessential Thai ways went out of their way to make me feel at home. Stayed December 2016, traveled solo"

Mathis Retreat: "Fantastic property"

"If you are travelling for the first time to Ubud.. Think no further and just book this place.. When u reach seek out the manager Karen and ask her for advice.. She will help you plan your entire trip, from great bike tour, to restaurant suggestions and even massage booking.. She will tell you the best places.. And then just enjoy your trip.. The staff is attentive and pampers you.. The rooms are big and perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure around Ubud.. The food at the restaurant Terra cotta is calming and refreshing at the same time.. Look no further.. This is the place..!"

The River Resort: "Excellent séjour !"

Deux piscines, ce qui est vraiment bien, à débordement toutes les deux, petit déjeuner correct mais à améliorer avec vue sur le Mékong... Chambre confortable en bungalow avec terrasse, vue sur le Mekong... et magnifique propriété. Personnel très aimable et attentif. Bien sûr un peu cher... et l'organisation qui est excellente.

Villa Song: "Wonderful!"

We stayed here for four nights and loved it. It's location out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Saigon is perfect and if you need to get downtown they have a shuttle boat that will take you (and it is a lovely ride along the river). Accommodations were luxurious and well worth the price. The pool was beautiful; service great; lovely breakfasts. You can't find a better place!
