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.

Villa Song: "2 nights in heaven"

Beautifully appointed boutique hotel, stunning grounds, friendly staff away from the hustle of the city. Very clean and immaculate with lovely breakfast. Free speed boat into district one was just the icing on the cake

Villa Song Saigon: "Truly the most beautiful hotel you will ever stay in"

"What a stunningly beautiful hotel in a truly gorgeous setting next to the Saigon River. We only had 2 nights in HCMC at the end of a two week trip to Vietnam and with the benefit of hindsight would definitely have stayed longer at Villa Song. The hotel is located in District 2, away from the city but close enough not to be a problem for pick ups/drop offs etc from tour operators. We chose the hotel specifically for it's location having done a similar thing in Bangkok where our hotel was located down the river with access to the city provided by shuttle boat. This worked perfectly for us then so we knew we would appreciate the same set up. The only flaw in our plan was allocating 2 nights instead of 4 or 5! We did a full day trip on the Mekong River with Mango Cruises (highly recommended) which didn't leave us much time to enjoy the hotel but what we did experience we loved and would definitely come back with more time to enjoy. Dinner at the restaurant watching the light change over the river with all the beautiful fairy lights decorating the garden was simply spectacular. Food & service was great. Rooms are big and beautifully appointed, good air con, good bathroom although the layout doesn't leave much bench space for toiletries and makeup however that would have been my only disappointment. Breakfast is a la carte with wonderful options on the menu and great coffee included. If we were coming back to Saigon I wouldn't book anywhere but here. Truly one of the highlights in hotel experiences. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Inle Princess Resort: "Fantastic experience on the lake!"

Unlike other hotels on the lake, as your motor boat nears the resort, the motor is stopped and a local rows the boat in using his right thigh! That was definitely a unique experience for us but it also contributed to our resort being quiet and restful. We were greeted warmly and escorted to our private chalet, which had a beautiful living area, a veranda overlooking the lake, a large bathroom with bath tub and an outdoor shower. We definitely felt pampered during our one night at this wonderful resort. The dinner and our buffet breakfast the next morning did not disappoint. Truly a great experience for us

Mathis Retreat: "Nice stay, good pool and friendly staf"

We stayed a total of 8 nights in Mathis retreat, locally known as Kenanga. We booked a room/bungalow that was a bit more luxury. It was a very nicely decorated and spacious room with a good bed. The breakfast was nice, especially the baker's selection (croissant, pain au chocolat and toast), but after 8 nights we would have liked to have a bit more choices, especially some healthy options. We had a lunch in the restaurant and it was really nice. The pool is very good, overlooking the rice fields. The last day our flight was in the evening and the manager offered us a late check out for free! Staff is very friendly. They offer a free shuttle to Ubud centre, but we preferred a scooter, which was a bit quicker.

Cuca: "Best meal I’ve had in Bali"

"這位廚師的手藝讓我不得不打個卡紀錄。口感味道層次都抓的剛剛好，有才華的廚師。雖然擺盤soso但完全得到歪嘴雞認證 One of the most splendid meal I've ever tasted since Budapest's Onyx and Dubai's Ossiano. I will definitely come again and recommend all my foodie friends to try. Very talented Spanish chef. If I must have to pick one flaw, that would be the setting of the dishes."

Rachamankha: "My favorite"

"My second visit to his wonderful hotel. The rooms are simple and roomy and the building feels like a piece of history. Lovely staff and a great bar. Best gin and tonic in Thailand? The local Thai breakfast option was delicious and interesting. Definitely worth a try as it's so different to what we expect from Western breakfast. Pool is quiet. No kids! Great!"

Summertime Villa: "A delightful stay"

You want a piece of heaven, people say head to Goa. You want a piece of heaven, a place to call your own for few days, head to Summertime in Goa. For me, it was love at first sight. It is tucked in one of the by lanes of Calangute, away from the noise, has a small sprawling drive up to the main house and a private swimming pool to boast. It is built like a Balinese villa, is open, spacious and is extremely welcoming. It has an in house kitchen and a few hours’ notice the help can whip up delicious and scrumptious food. We had biryani, eggs and cold coffee. Yum!! It is close hustle and the bustle and yet offers peace and serenity which is so essential. The hidden and the real gem are the books shelves. They even have books in the chairs. And don’t miss the delightful and fun conversation with the owners. You just wouldn’t wanna leave
