Pindaya Farm House: "Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast with extraordinary views of Pindaya"

Review by: 454jonathonb | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a lovely working farm and small hotel. The owners are delightful people who accommodated our needs, and fed us extremely well. We had heard that this part of the country is called the Tuscany of Myanmar, and it is absolutely true. The hills surround the valley, and the red earth is reminiscent of Italy. The organic produce is spectacular, and the preparation of the food at Thahara Pindaya was simple and delicious. The rooms are comfortable and capacious, while simple, and the views from the decks are splendid whether in the early morning, middle of the day, or evening.

Tandjung Sari: "Bali dreaming"

Review by: Justine M | Source: tripadvisor.com
So greatfull that our friends recommended this gem. It was not too far from airport as I had an early flight the next day, however I was able to be in that old style Bail atmosphere for one night only. Nice cocktails, good food and comfortable spacious villa. Canopy bed to rest peacefully in. I even had a midnight swim!

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "The best luxury boutique hotel in HCM if not Vietnam"

Review by: Philippe T | Source: tripadvison.com
"I will never forget this amazing experience. This place is an absolutely outstanding place to overnight, have only breakfast or maybe lunch or just diner, anything you chose will be an unforgetable time. The hotel staff is top 5star and the kitchen is even better. The chef and f+b manager is a truly artist of his kind, he is a magician and his food is like a firework in your mouth and spirit... You have to meet Kevin Marchetti, just ask for him you will be pleased to meet him. You will never forget the time you send at Villa Song ! "

Chakrabongse Villas: "Sublime oasis"

Review by: RobinandKaren | Source: tripadvisor.com
While expensive by any town's standard this calm in the storm of sensations that is Bankok is worth it. Ms Atom and the staff are so welcoming we felt like family (in a good way), maybe even royalty. The food, both breakfast and a diner, are first rate. And you can eat while you watch the constant parade of boats on the river, most entertaining. The flower market just down the street is fascinating, especially at night. Must see sights abound in the neighborhood and the water bus-boat stops are just around the corner to take you up or down river.  Skip the in room drinks and grab your refreshments from any of several shops (even 7 Eleven) along the street. Lounge by the pool or sit on one of the the riverside decks. The sunset can be fabulous.

Reverie Siam Pai: "Delightful hotel"

Review by: mills222 | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a four day stay at the Reverie Siam with my elderly parents and two month old baby. The staff were excellent - very kind and flexible when it came to accommodating our baby. I felt comfortable breastfeeding in the restaurant and by the pool which was a massive bonus for me since I didn't have to hole myself up alone to feed. The rooms were beautiful and we loved the jacuzzis. The pools are lovely and we were lucky that the hotel wasn't too crowded - we had sun loungers every day. One thing that was slightly disappointing was the food. Although reasonably priced, I was sad that the meals were not exactly generous in size. The pizzas were especially tiny! Someone is very good at writing menus because everything sounded delicious, but nothing really lived up to its description. Breakfast was big - two dishes, a hot drink, and a juice, but again, the taste just wasn't quite there. All in all though, we had a really great stay and will definitely return if we can.

Tugu Malang: "A unique museum hotel"

Review by: Monique7375 | Source: Trip Advisor
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.

The Twelve Hotel: "Nothing better"

Review by: fabioricci66 | Source: Trip Advisor
Good choice, we read the reviews and this time we have not freagato. Clean place quiet and in great location. Comfortable rooms. From here we move on public transport in all directions. Then in the evening, after all the day in the chaos of Bangkok it looks like an oasis.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "What an adventure!"

Review by: 5KPK | Source: Trip Advisor
"We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it. The team is fantastic. No detail is overlooked. We asked them to arrange transportation for us from our hotel in Tangalle to their campsite. The driver was there right on time and took us to the rendezvous point where they were waiting for us. We went to the camp, had an orientation about the day, enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch before we rested a bit and then headed out for our first game drive. The staff here are very professional, experienced and knowledgable. You can tell this is a passion for them. What I didn't expect was absolutely delicious food!!! The food was spectacular!! A real treat. Part of me wanted to stay another night just for the meals! The happy hour was also really fun. They are great at making you feel at home. The luxury tent was as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. I also thought the bathroom was pretty cool and enjoyed the shower. The game drives were great fun. We didn't see any leopards (there was a closure of a section of the park with the highest concentration due to drought -- we were here offseason) but really it didn't matter because we saw so many other animals and birds. The elephants were my favorite. The staff thinks ahead about your needs. It was raining so they provided ponchos, there's water in the vehicle, binoculars, books about animals in case you want to reference something, etc. If you want a unique experience with a team who is as passionate about the environment as they are about the animals, I highly recommend Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris. When we left, we planted a tree and that was really special for us. I appreciated the way they make you feel like the most valued guest they've ever had."

Heritage Suites: "Fantastic find"

Review by: Rdrucker | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a beautiful and quiet boutique hotel. It was a pleasure to return to the serenity each day after sightseeing. Our room was lovely and spacious, even considering that it was set up with two extra beds for our children. Although we didn't use it, the private hot tub and garden were a nice added touch. The pool area was also quite nice. We enjoyed the made to order breakfast, as well as cocktails and dinner one evening. We were able to arrange for sightseeing excursions through the hotel that were absolutely amazing, particularly the sunrise over Angkor Wat that we were able to enjoy in complete solitude thanks to our phenomenal guide. Book this hotel - you will not be disappointed!
