Amata Lanna: "Wonderful Hospitality"

My parents stayed at the hotel earlier this year for a few nights. Both of them are in their mid-seventies and still fit and able. However, they appreciate a little extra comfort and service, and this is exactly what they received at the Amata Lanna. They loved the amenities, the food, the location and most of all the staff. Keep up the good work guys!!!

tugu bali: "Traditional old world Balinese style hotel"

"Drive through traditional villages and rice fields. Only 30 minutes from Seminyak. It is a lovely drive and sometimes people want to see the rice fields without spending a day driving to Ubud. Arrive at Tugu, lovely old world traditional hotel for a nice lunch. A couple of hours of your time well spent. Relaxing, peaceful and educational. "

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Quirky, fun place to stay"

"Spent 3 nights at Four Rivers in early May. We really felt that we were embarking on something special when we were collected by boat for our transfer to the Lodge and we were not disappointed. The accommodation, in tents is wonderful, it is spacious and well furnished. The bathroom is large with an amazing wooden shower tub! Fans attempt to keep the tents cool and were reasonably effective considering how hot it was. The staff were without fail friendly, courteous and kind. Nothing was too much, my wife happened to mention to the restaurant manager that she would like to try a Cambodian speciality that was not on the menu. An hour later the meal had been cooked for her and was superb. That seemed to be the way the Lodge worked, it was a case of just ask and well do our best to provide. There is a local guy, born on the island opposite the Lodge, who is the tour guide. He deserves a special mention as he provided a real touch of magic to our stay. We went on an early morning hike, a river trip to a fishing village where we also kayaked through the mangroves and a boat trip to see fireflies. He is so knowledgable and great fun to be with but so caring and polite. This is a great place to stay and well worth the 4 hour journey from Phnom Penh."

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Incredible Experience"

"We visited the Leopard Safari February 2015 while on a long overseas trip to SE Asia-- hence I am posting this a year later! It was a remarkable experience. The camp itself was a pleasure to stay in-the tents and beds comfortable and spotless--a remarkable feat given the rain and mud. We were travelling with a four year old who explored every path and the staff were marvelous help keeping her amused-they were genuine and attentive which we appreciated! The food was memorable and we felt completely catered to--my husband and I prefer food on the spicy side and the chefs certainly delivered! Now for the wildlife: we were extremely lucky--saw leopards every second time we went out (we went out a total of 5 or 6 times) so we would recommend staying at least two nights--we stayed three because we wanted to increase our chances of seeing leopards. In one encounter, we tracked a leopard as it moved around a large watering hole and the guide accurately predicted where it would emerge and you could actually see the animals reacting (giving their warning calls) to the hidden leopard as it moved around the small lake. It was like living a National Geographic episode! The guides are clearly leopard enthusiasts but the number of exotic (to us) birds, reptiles and small game they identified for us made each trip out an experience to remember. The icing on the cake was seeing young leopards playing together only about a car length away from us! The guide generously shared all his high res photos with us; our camp seemed to be in a prime location to access the park; our tour appeared more intimate than others we saw and our guides seemed to be highly respected by the other drivers (who shared tips and sightings freely with us). This really is a first class experience and we would and have recommended Noel's Leopard Safari to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka. "

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Traveling back in time"

"Very beautiful traditional Hanok guesthouse. Staying here really is an unforgettable experience. Especially at night when the place is beautifully lit, it almost seems like a fairy tail. Sleeping on the 'ondol' heated floor with Korean-style bedding may not be for everyone (I personally had some trouble sleeping on the floor), but this sure is an experience not to be missed when in Seoul. I booked the Patio room which had a separate bathroom with a wooden tub. You can choose between Korean style breakfast or continental. Of course I went for the Korean style breakfast, which was excellent. Breakfast is brought to your room so you can enjoy it in the privacy of your own room. The owner of RakKoJae is very friendly and helpful. Moreover RakKoJae is situated right in the middle of the Bukchon Hanok Village and just a small walk away from both the Gyeongbok Palace and the Changdeokgung Palace. Staying at RakKoJae is rather expensive though."

The Island Lodge: "Lovely Resort and Location in Mekong Delta"

Glad we did find this beautiful place in Mekong for a relaxing week end. Location is overlooking Mekong, the Resort itself is welcoming, well decorated with a colonial feel. The Owners are french and run as well the operation with a lot of passion and kindness. Staff are well trained and genuinely smiley. We will be back :).

David’s Kitchen: "Fine dining at its best"

"Davids kitchen enjoys a great reputation in Chiang Mai and richly deserves it. You will walk away happy after eating here. The menu is superb and the service exceptional. They brought a long stem rose to the table for my wife, a nice gesture. I have also been to a few charity events here as David supports good causes. A must if you come to Chiang Mai."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Fantastic Peranakan Experience"

Very beautiful place with a rich history to it. The close-to-Pernankan experience was awesome with a rich architecture and straits born designs! Food was good. Breakfast selection limited but rest assured that it's very tasteful! Service was excellent esp Shiro who made our stay more than wonderful than it already was! I will definitely go back again!

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent food, reasonable prices"

"I went on a date here with my (now) fiancee. I have to applaud David's kitchen for its flexibility in food and service - the clientele is a mix of thai nationals, Americans, Australians, Europeans, etc - yet the wait staff seem to be experts at responding to every inquiry. I had a food allergy (can't eat oats), and the wait staff was fast to swap out the bread for us. My fiancee was not a fan of her first soup order, and the staff exchanged it at no cost for another soup, which she liked much more. The actual food I would place at slightly above average. I ordered the strip steak. I can say I've had better steaks in America or Japan, but they were also more expensive. One dish doesn't make a restaurant, though - everything else was five stars: The truffle sauce was perfect. The appetizers were perfect. The chocolate lava cake was absolutely amazing. The cocktails were flawless. A mix of Thai friendliness and western elegance, this is a must for any traveler in Chiang Mai."
