4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Relax and switch off"
"Stayed here for two nights in a lovely ,clean, well equipped floating tent. All the staff were really friendly and keen to share details of the property and surrounding area. Hopefully it will remain free from wifi and phone signals as it is a refreshing change to unplug from everything and just slow down and enjoy the surroundings . Some details from the stay that are hopefully helpful -Approx 20 min scenic transfer by boat to the lodge with ample room for suitcases etc. -Good quality toiletries and plent of towels. -Mosquito nets integrated into the tent with extra flaps to close if it rains. Insect repellant spray in the room. -Electric and ceiling fans to cool the tents. -Good choice for meals with a daily changing set menu or a la carte menu. All the food and drink we had was really nice ( salad and ice cubes etc all safe to have here) -Choice of excursions during the stay We had an all too short stay here and wish we had stayed longer. If you want to relax and slow down then this is the ideal place"Sanak Retreat Bali: "Sublime"
"Grandes chambres de luxe au milieu des rizières. Très bon restaurant et prix très abordable. Il est aussi possible de manger dans la chambre. Comme partout a Bali,personnel aux petits soins. Le cadre est merveilleux,superbe piscine."Les Maisons d’Itac: "Worth The Effort"
"I considered whether to score 4 or 5 for a couple of days and despite a couple of criticisms decided it was worthy of a 5 rating. First things first - it is unsignposted and extremely difficult to find. Even locals seem unaware of it and unable to help with directions. The Manager, Bryan, explained that they try and keep it exclusive. I think they are taking this exclusivity too far. There were only two of the beautiful chalets occupied during our stay. This place deserves to be fully booked every day of every week. One nagging question I was left with was whether the (French?) owners wanted to sacrifice custom for this quiet exclusivity or if it was really Bryan who didn't want the place busy! But lets look at the accomodation. Stunning and superb. It was so relaxing. Each chalet / villa had a good-sized private pool with views to die for. The resort would be ideal for two or more familes to get away and spend a great time together. Dinner was effectively take it or leave it with only two choices, however it tasted wonderful. I will definitely go back for a long weekend when I get the chance. Loved the place."Tugu Malang: "A unique museum hotel"
I was staying here after a long motor ride from Surabaya and spoiled myself with all the beautiful interior furniture that has been chosen carefully. Some vintage and antique wall wood working and painting make this hotel looks like a museum with all the art being put there. Every room and chamber has its own design. Mixture between Javanese, Balinese wood furniture and old colonial building. A unique bathroom with vintage stainless bath tub and sink, also nice packaging of the amenities put another credit for this hotel. Some of the room is made for a real museum with all the ancient chinese ceramic pottery, bronze sculptures, silver dining set, small statue aged hundreds years which decribe the owner must be a filthy rich collectors. But I don't really like the part of the hotel which made as mediteranian middle east concept that seems bland and unmatch comparing to the other parts of the hotel. In the afternoon they serve various local tea and coffee, herbal drink and traditional snack for free for the guest staying in the hotel. Overall, I am quite satisfied staying there even only one night. Worth the value of money.Labyrinth: "One of the best meals I’ve had!"
Absolutely loved my dinner at Labyrinth - I'm a fan of fine dining and molecular gastronomy and would still class this as one of the best meals I've had. The service was excellent, food was very clever and delicious. Certainly deserves it's Michelin star - I would even say more than one!VILLA MATHIS: "Excellent time at Villa Mathis"
"My wife and i stayed at La Villa Mathis in Bali and this was one of the best experiences we ever had, not only due to the beauty of the place (it was paradise on earth) but the way the stuff did everything they could in their power to makes us feel home. The prime examples was the great help they provided me to plan for my wife's birthday and they even allowed us to stay longer after the check out time so that we do not stress for our late flight with access non-only to our room but also all the facilities they had on site until before our flight. The highlight of the place were the amenities (different luxuries pools and salons where you can hang out as well as Jacuzzi and massage rooms) but the service with a smile was above and beyond what we ever experienced in any other luxury hotels/villas. A big thanks to the lady at the front who helped us plan every single day of our stay and to the excellent management provided by Frank with the help of his staff.We will definitely come back soon. "The Village House: "LOVE IT!"
Very romantic and relaxing place. I love the ambience of that place. Staff was very friendly. The place is very isolated and hard to find in the first place. But overall everything was fine and i would love to visit again in the future :)Amata Lanna: "Gorgeous hotel and incredibly helpful staff"
My friends and I stayed at the Amata Alanna recently on our first trip to Chiang Mai, and it was about the nicest stay we've had in quite some time. The property was beautiful, the breakfast service was delicious, and the rooms were incredible! The staff was probably the best part - they suggested places for us to go during both the day and night, and the girl at the front desk was super friendly and knowledgeable (and a fantastic English speaker, so great for those visiting). We are looking forward the next trip back and will definitely stay again.Mathis Retreat: "Big nice room and pool by rice fields"
Very nice boutique hotel in Ubud. The room is very nice, clean, and the bed very comfortable. The swimming pool by the rice field is a superb way to chill in the afternoon. Free shuttle to Ubud center is a plus:)VILLA SONG SAIGON: "The Gem on the riverside"
"I can just agree with other reviewers,this place is lovely ....a quiet haven after hours in the city of HCMC with noise,traffic,and stress. Just relax in the shade by the pool with a nice book,or have a drink by the riverside watching the boats passing. Very confy bed and pillows.Lovely breakfast and lunch. The staff very helpful sorting out some issues with my airline for the returnflight. I have already reserved my next stay at Villa Song. See you in november.Thank you. "
