Locavore: "Experience of a lifetime"

Review by: Elleron540 | Source: Trip Advisor
"First of all: YOU MUST BOOK AHEAD if you want to go to dinner; lunch is less in demand and somewhat easier. We had the most amazing evening with friendly and efficient staff, an elegant and comfortable dining room - with plenty of space between tables, such a luxury - and then the food. Our party of three included one who is violently allergic to shellfish/seafood so with great care and input from the chefs, an alternative menu was chosen for her that included dishes from the vegetarian menu as well as safe dishes from the meat/fish menu. Then we sat back and the dishes started coming. Not only is the food exquisite, but the dishes (or rocks!) on and in which it's served and beautiful too. We settled for the seven courses and even though each is little more than one or two mouthfuls, it was more than enough and every dish was a surprise and beyond delicious. My favourite (apparently I'm not alone) was the quenelle of Bloody Mary sorbet on a slice of frozen tomato that then had a little jug of hot and clear tomato broth poured over it. More like essence of tomato than broth: absolutely marvellous! Didn't have the matching drinks as I felt a puritan need to walk out under my own steam, but wine is an easy alternative and uniformly and reasonably priced. The chef-owners are passionate about local and fresh produce and experimenting – and it shows. Altogether a memorable evening."

Manda De Laos: "Best duck I’ve ever eaten"

Review by: Bobbinson | Source: Trip Advisor
"We got here around half 6 without booking and managed to get a table for 2. We ordered a cocktail and ice tea which were both delicious. For food we had the Laap balls to start, which were 6 meatballs with a dipping sauce, very good and just the right size to share as a starter. For main we had the tamarind duck and the buffalo steak with one serve of crunchy coconut rice. The meats were cooked to perfection. The buffalo was the requested medium rare and the duck just slightly pink and very tender with crispy skin. Even the rice was delicious, it came as a good size portion, enough to share between 2 with the generous servings of meat. Although the most expensive food we have had in luang prabang it was by far the best meal so definitely worth the little bit extra!"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Relax and enjoy the views"

Review by: Beaks21 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Its a long and winding steep hill that takes you to this idyllic location. The rooms are wonderful and in keeping with the location. The views are stunning and its is a wonderful place to relax, that said don't miss a trip to Darjeeling a fabulous and busy town. I'd take a day to see it. You can also enjoy a massage. I took a walk into the village and it was great to see. Room Tip: Most rooms are great but I'd try and avoid the room off the main lounge."

Satri House: "Wish I could stay longer"

Review by: Rosie H | Source: Trip Advisor
"I was really looking forward to staying here having looked at the hotel website before leaving home. Sometimes the reality can be a bit of a let down but at Satri House my expectations were exceeded. The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are lush and well cared for and the decor just perfect. I adore old colonial styling and Satri House really delivers. The rooms are exquisitely decorated, tastefully furnished, clean and comfortably, and have all the amenities you require. There is no in room TV but that would not fit the ambience of Satri House and as we all know there is never anything worth watching anyway. Since we all travel with smart phones and tablets this is not a problem and there is wifi in the rooms. The staff are all very friendly, particularly at the poolside bar where we were well looked after by Ban. Breakfast is a la carte, which makes a nice change from having to keep going up to a buffet, with a good selection of dishes on offer. I particularly liked having a decent sized pot of tea in the morning. As the title of the review says , I wish I were staying longer. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Review by: hol1daytrav3l | Source: Trip Advisor
After staying at Villa Mathis and having one of those great amazing trips we would definitely recommend other people to stay there. the staff are really well trained and friendly, the accommodations are luxurious and the architecture is typical for Bali making it an immersive stay and keeps you close to the Bali culture.

Tugu Malang: "A stunning boutique hotel"

Review by: Shinta D | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is my favourite hotel in this city, come here around 3-4 times. Full with antique items (like poteki puppet dolls, or old chinese porcelain etc), the hotel even provide a free tour for guest to visit their biggest suite and another romantic spot in hotel ground. And the rooms in hotel have different theme (only the basic one that don't have that kind perk) Breakfast is indonesian cuisine also afternoon tea also, blended with traditional snack. It comes with a price tag, not heavy for western standard, but yes higher than the rest of the other hotel in malang. "

Tugu Lombok: "Urlaub"

Review by: Susanne S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Das Tugu Hotel ist ein Traum und ganz besonders für einen romantischen Urlaub zu empfehlen .In diesem Hotel stimmt alles!! Jeder Wunsch wird einem von den Augen abgelesen! Man fühlt sich wie in einer geborgen Familie, da es ein kleines ganz besonders liebevoll gepflegtes Hotel ist. Das Frühstück sensationell! Allerdings sehr einsam und abgelegen. Für Ruhesuchende Personen das perfekte Hotel. Stayed January 2017, traveled solo"
