Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A Unique and Amazing Hotel – Incredible service!"

"We wanted something a bit special for our stay in Penang and to capture the feel of the culture rather than stay in a plain hotel - simply, this property is amazing. The rooms are fantastic and you really feel like you are stepping into a piece of history! The food was great and there are additional benefits like easy free parking, easy walking access to the sights of georgetown and free tour of the mansion which is one of main tourist attractions on the island. The staff could not have done more, in fact we owe them a HUGE thank you because in our rush to leave the room we left our passports in the hotel safe. We only realised when we were 4 hours south of Penang, we needed to fly on Monday and it was a weekend and there were no courier companies working. The General Manager arranged for one of the staff to drive all the way to us to deliver the passports by 10am on Sunday!!! Unbelievable. 100% recommend staying here if possible or visiting for the tour!"

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Superb must stay"

"This resort has all of its priorities straight. It has an Eco/ community based focus and customers are at the heart of everything that is done. We loved every minute of being here as the staff are so considerate and keen to please. The food at the restaurant is fabulous and the rooms are very nicely decorated and restful. The Burmese cat project is fantastic and the shop supports local development projects which sell their high quality products here. We believe this is a really special place to stay and we will remember it for a long time to come. Highly recommended! Stayed April 2016, traveled as a couple"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Amazing! Can’t wait to go back"

"We were there for 3 nights and it was glorious. Everything about this place is perfect: - staff: wonderful, very kind and helpful - rooms: the little huts are just perfect. They are private, wonderfully decorated and have everything one might need. Natural soaps are provided and filtered coffee - grounds: the location is magical. You see the beautiful Annapurna range. MUST DO: get the sunrise coffee and cookies. They will bring it to your room just in time for the sunrise view. Walk up to the pool - there is a beautiful reflection - food- we had all our meals there and everything was absolutely delicious. The Nepalese food is exquisite. Breakfast is lovely. Great coffee and biscuits. Do not hesitate to book this place. You won't regret it. The only danger is that you might not want to leave it. We went for a day to explore Pokhara and kept missing the glorious calm and soothing atmosphere of Tiger resort We will be back! Room Tip: Make sure you eat at the terrace. Get a hot water bottle at night ;)"

David’s Kitchen: "Superb food with impeccable service"

"Superb food with impeccable service We just couldn’t stay away from this oasis of top drawer fine dining. The owner and host David Gordon was there to greet us and his other guests nothing is too much trouble and your every wish in designing your particular favourite dishes is followed to the letter. A culinary experience not to be missed."

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Fabulous stay"

"Although a little further away from Battambang (around 2km) than other hotels, the beautiful surroundings, well-appointed rooms and excellent food are well worth it. The staff are lovely and extremely helpful. We were there to celebrate a 60th birthday and they arranged dessert with candles and sang happy birthday! We had a great tour of all the sights around Battambang with Mr Dan the tuk tuk driver, arranged by the hotel. Also, we had a cookery class in the restaurant just for two of us which was a great experience. Thank you for a brilliant stay."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "A little piece of heaven"

A return visit did not disappoint, although under different management, it was still a wonderful place to relax, where you are looked after most royally. The rooms are beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds, and pretty bedding. The staff are all very helpful and attentive, and several seem to have multi- functional roles. We had a really interesting tour of the tea-factory, even though the factory was not working at the time. Unfortunately owing to the complete strike in the Darjeeling area in the previous 3 months, resulted in the loss of this year's crop. The strike had also meant that the gardens surrounding the bungalows were not so immaculate, but I am sure this will be remedied soon. The.views of Kanchenjunga ( 3rd highest mountain in the world,) are stupendous if the weather conditions are right. We had a lovely guided walk down to the river, and then along river bank to bridge that crosses into Sikkim ( you are not allowed into Sikkim without a permit). We were then treated to a wonderful picnic by the river before getting a lift back up to Glenburn in one of the estate vehicles. Would definitely like to return for another little piece of heaven!

Amata Lanna: "The Best Experience We’ve Ever Had"

My wife and I stayed at Amata Lana for 4 nights, and it was absolutely amazing. The boutique hotel is extremely authentic, beautiful, and clean, but that is far from the best part. The cherry on top of it all was the exquisite, friendly, and capable service we received. We saw the same smiling faces everyday, and Rebekah was the definition of a perfect host. She had great spa and dining suggestions, and never hesitated to go the extra mile and make sure our needs were met. We are leaving today and it saddens us greatly to do so. If we ever make it back to Chiang Mai we will 100% be choosing Amata Lana. Do not hesitate to do the same for yourself, you will not regret it!

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Beautiful, peaceful, luxurious, a class act"

"The title sums up how we felt about this magical place. The location in Muang La is perfect - far from the disney-land tourist circuit of Luang Prabang (and a beautiful but bendy 5-6 hour drive from there as well!), it's remote but therefore also perfectly situated for exploring the nearby rugged countryside with organised private trecks through the hills, visits to the various ethnic groups and their time-locked villages, followed by a dip in their own natural hot spring and a delicious 5 course meal every evening overlooking the river. The managers Raphael (Swiss) and Job (Dutch), are at the top of their game and do a magnificent job of making you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive until the moment they wave you goodbye on your onward journey. I advise booking at least 4 nights, a package which includes free beer and wine at dinner as well as a free massage and gives enough time to really settle down and experience it all. If you visit Northern Laos and have the budget (not cheap but looking back it feels like truly great value), this place is a must."

Jing’s Residence: "an excellent experience"

I highly recommend Jing's residence. Situated in the heart of the old town, it has kept the atmosphere of times past.Service is very good and the chinese breakfasts are for a european, an experience to be tried for your delight
