Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Amazing!"

Champagne cruise on the sunset was just amazing! The weather was not that good as we wanted to but we said to ourselfs “it’s just a rain, let’s drink champagne!” and have enjoyed this experience very much. Absolutely everything: staff, service, boat, champagne, snacks were perfect! This is very posh! Highly recommend!

Inle Princess Resort: "Luxury relaxation"

"This is the perfect place to relax during your visit to Myanmar. Settle in for a slower pace and just admire the scenery. The rooms are very large and have an amazing bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a full tub. We had a room on the water with a lovely view of the marsh. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the mornings and evenings watching the water. The property is a long drive from the airport so be prepared for that but it's a interesting drive. The hotel staff is very helpful and accommodating. Use them to arrange tours of the Inle Lake area for $30-$40 dollars. We visited many of the local attractions- lotus/silk weavers, boat makers, cigar makers, cat monastery. Some have a small tour but nobody was pushy. The restaurant on the property is very good which is great since there are few options for dinner off property due to the fact that it's a bit of a drive to town and I don't think the boats run after dark. You can't go wrong by booking here."

Jing’s Residence: "Very charming place to stay"

Very quiet, beautifull and confortable place to stay. Not like an hotel, more like a beautiful home, a nice library to spend time to read drinking a good tea, possibility to access to a free Wi-Fi, and very kind persons at the check in/out, at the restaurant for the diner or the breakfast...

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Location, Location, Location"

We stayed at the Rakkojae Seoul, a traditional hanok style guest house in early October 2016 for 4 nights. Located between the eastern and western palaces in the Bukchon Village area of Seoul it really is perfectly located for visiting a part of Seoul that wasn't destroyed by the war. The neighborhood is interesting with many good restaurants and the guest house is old and charming. The Proprietor is helpful and welcoming. The Korean breakfast, served in our room, was excellent. My only caution for the traveler would be two things that the owners don't have much control over. First, Seoul has a problem with mosquitoes and since it was still quite warm in Seoul this fall, we battled very small mosquitoes in our room, despite very good screens. Could be we should have closed the shutters and turned on the A/C and we would have fared better. Additionally, keep in mind that this is a small establishment, so if others are jet lagged and forget it's 2 AM, you are probably going to be hearing your neighbors during the night. But, overall a great experience. And, when you think about it, if you want to stay in traditional housing, then you shouldn't be expecting it to feel like the Ritz Carleton.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Amazing food and service"

We went for our anniversary and were treated amazingly. In addition to the fabulous food we ordered several additional special treats were brought out to our table. Wonderful experience and beautiful quiet setting.

Mie Cafe: "Small Restaurant Big Flavours"

"The first impression here is great with a modern restaurant in a ramshackle street. The menu is a great fusion of traditional Khmer and modern cuisine. The flavour of the food was as good as anywhere in Siem Reap and very reasonably priced. Our pork ribs fell off the bone and our chicken curry was delicate and delicious. The service was a little slow but I suspect there were quite a few trainees this night. Well worth the visit."

Sukoon Houseboat: "Best Houseboat Experience"

The place is extremely peaceful Lives upto the name sukoon = peace The food is exceptional and staff is very helpful. The service is better than five star hotels. The upper deck is great for experiencing the calm Dal lake. This is my second stay here... And totally recommend it.

Dewakan: "Extraordinary Gastronomic Experience"

I have been to this restaurants numerous times; every time when they change their menu. Chef Darren never fail to surprise his diners with natural ingredients sourced locally. The staffs were also very attentive and provide excellent service. The menu was also reasonably priced.

Villa Song Saigon: "An Oasis of Calm and Luxury"

My wife, son and I stayed five nights at the Villa Song and it was a FANTASTIC hotel. The staff were attentive and extremely helpful. The speed boat to and from Ho chi Minh was a fun and exciting way to get into and out of the city. If I had a complaint, it was that the hotel was so comfortable and relaxing that one felt slightly disinclined to venture into the mayhem of Ho chi Minh! Sitting at breakfast, either in or outdoors, watching the traffic passing on the river are memories I will treasure. If you want a hotel where you are spoilt, relaxed and pampered I STRONGLY recommend the Villa Song.

Rahai’i Pangun: "Pure and Natural – Katingan River – Sebangau National Park"

This was an exciting destination - the Sebangau Nat Park, Kalimantan. I was part of a group exploring the Katingan River area for the first time ever, with WOW Borneo, who is the first commercial tourist boat operator allowed to venture commercially on this river. Hail to WOW Borneo for being such pioneers. What explorers we were! This was a unique trip into nature. The boat cruise will now be on the regular WOW schedule. It's a an adventurous cultural trip - you simply must go. Setting camera traps for the clouded leopards in the Sebangau National park with the park ranger was the highlight for me, treking at night in the forest was a first for me, sleeping in homestays in the traditional Dayak villages - wonderful, discovering the black water lakes- beautiful, having the hornbills swooping across the wide Katingan River was a delight indeed and sleeping in forest cabins by special permission - well, that was very special. I have so much to say about this trip. We traversed the smaller rivers by canoe which allowed us to get really close to wildlife and we saw orangutans and proboscis monkeys in their natural setting. Scrumptious lunches were served on board every day, and the cooks produced the most exquisite dishes. The food is a big plus on a WOW Borneo trip. I have been on 5 trips now. What I loved about this NEW Katingan River Sebangau National Park trip is the combination of meeting local families and sleeping in villages, which allows you the chance to talk with local Dayak people. Added to this you have the comfort and luxury of the boat every day. A magical trip into a magical part of Indonesia. Should you go? Yes, most definitely. What you come back with is memories of a truly peaceful place, with silence and beauty that is untouched and not commercialized. Our side trip to the Borneo Orangutan facility BOS, was a great bonus, as we got to hear about orangutans from the experts. In all my travels of Indonesia, for me, this was the most significant trip ever - from a standpoint of solitude, natural beauty and a new discovery into protected lands.
