VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Absolutely charming hotel"

"A haven at the edge of the Saigon River. A beautiful, peaceful spot to chill out after a hot session of sightseeing. Chef Kevin, always eager to please with innovative Western based menus liberally sprinkled with South East Asian herbs and spices, great. Restaurant and hotel staff greeting us with their gentleness and smiling faces all the time. I can only highly recommend Villa Song "

Satri House: "Excellent, personalized service"

"Literally every employee went out of their way to make us feel special! Excellent accommodations. Hot showers, comfy bed, delicious food. We used the complimentary bikes daily to visit the local sites. Location was very good as well. Beautiful grounds. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"

Inle Princess Resort: "Just Wonderful"

"This is an absolute gem on Inle Lake. It's in a very quiet part of the lake with a beautiful inlet full of lotus plants. We stayed in a lake front room which was worth the extra cost. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms have twin sinks and an outside shower! Catching the small boat in the morning with a leg rower is something you won't forget quickly. Breakfast and dinner on the deck is rather special too! Red Mountain winery is close by if you want to try the local drop. Highly recommended."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Amazing Brunch"

The Brunch was amazing! Great setting, delicious food and perfect service! It was our second time here on a Sunday. We met locals who come often, and we have learned why. The owner Khun Poy and his team were awesome!

Bali Jiwa Villa: "Pure Relaxation & Satisfaction"

I stayed in Bali Jiwa Villa in May 2015. I know already some places in Bali but this villa is extraordinary. You stay in a place inside the nature, surrounded from lush rice paddies with the panoramic view of Mount Batukaru and stunning sunset. The service of the lovely staff in this villa fulfilled every wish I had. I was served a delicious breakfast and dinner. Also lunch you can get there. Each villa has a private pool, bordering the rice fields...a fantastic atmosphere! I will definitively come back to this place :-D.

Dewakan: "Three Stars or 3 Hats….. in our books"

"""The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply"" - Kahlil Gibran. This perfectly sums up what Darren Teoh and his team at Dewakan are doing. I profess guilty to being surrounded with these wonderful ingredients and yet be clueless as to their potential. Darren is taking these humble ingredients, injecting playful creativity and reintroducing them into the fore where they belong. Here one can expect to have boundaries challenged, pushed and yet moulded into familiarity. In this off the beaten path kitchen, flavours and textures are being routinely forged. Whilst I appreciate that everyone has their own personal opinion of good food, I suggest preconceptions be left at the door. This is my second visit to Dewakan and once again I leave in awe of mother natures bounty in the hands of a true maestro. "

Samanea Beach Resort: "Secret idyllic Resort"

"We stayed only for 2 nights.i liked the colonial minimal decoration of the spacious room with it' s adorable outside shower.The stuff were all ready to serve you ,helpful and smily. I loved the Hawaiian pool,and the pier which drives you to the ocean. The cleanliness would be better.The towels wasn't very clean but overall the feeling was good. The breakfast is poor.You have only two choices of the menu,like an omelet and fruits. The resort is a little far of the town ,but with a tuk tuk is easy to go. I recommend this place."

The Hue House: "Lovely Restaurant"

The place so nice, staff so lovely... and food also delicious. You should to come in the everning and enjoy this place.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Walk into amazing history! Most excelent"

"Most amazing history and architecture; a truly east meets west in a unique blend that worked in C19th and is a place which has a feeling that has to be experienced to be believed. The current owners restored this place with meticulous detail to the most miniscule of reproduced effects, having to seek out craftsmen to work with a lost art. External feature details are fashioned from broken and shaped especially fired porcelain bowls. Colourfast beauty that will last potentially for centuries. The world should thank people with this level of vision to preserve such magnificent history. The history of the original owner, Cheong Fatt Tze is as fascinating as the building itself. We had the great privilege to meet and talk with owner, architect and one of the visionaries behind the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion renovation which won the UNESCO Most Excellent Project, Lin Lee Loh-Lim. Passion personified! Check when Lin Lee Loh-Lim is conducting tours. Having stayed for several nights I can say the place and the staff are the most amazing I have ever encountered. Oh that we should all take so much pride in our work and enjoy it so much. The Restaurant with French fusion dishes is great value for money and excellent quality. This one liner is a total understatement. Yes I'm besotted with the Blue Mansion, its has been one of those experiences I will treasure and talk about for the rest of my life! Something I must say is that some of the surrounding property owners appear to have little respect for what the Blue Mansion represents and the leadership that properties of this calibre offer the future of Georgetown and Penang as a world class destination. I can only hope that the Penang City Council and Chamber of Commerce can work with all accommodation providers and landowners in the area to put sustainable noise abatement in place to enhance the experience and vision that has been so delightfully preserved in the Blue Mansion and the surrounding area. I'll be back to experience the charming ambiance of the Blue Mansion in the future. I wish the owners and staff every continuing success."

Tugu Malang: "Tolle Umgebung um Ruhe zu finden"

"Wir hatten das Zimmer 208 welches zum Pool lag. Abends wurde es wegen dem Restaurant um ca.20 Uhr mal ca. 1 Std. laut, was uns nicht störte. Kurz Fenster zu und gut. Wir genossen die Badewanne und die nicht zu überbietende Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Man wurde mit Namen angesprochen und jeder war um unser Wohl bedacht. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut und das Ambiente des gesamten Hotels unübertroffen.Als man bemerkte das wir mit dem typisch indonesischen Frühstück nicht glücklich waren gab es eine Breakfast-Karte mit allem Schnickschnack. Da wir einfaches Frühstück bevorzugen wurde fortan das Frühstück für uns auf Wunsch zubereitet. Besser geht nicht!"
