Amata Lanna: "A quiet gem in the heart of Chiang Mai"

Review by: Casper2Dexter | Source: Trip Advisor
What a great find, quiet, clean and comfortable, and more than I was expecting. Thank you Yu for all your help, you were the perfect host. This hotel is very close to the night bazaar and restaurants. There are loads of travel shops advertising trips, but we used the nearest one just around the corner and had a great trip with them. The White Palace and the Black House are a must to see as they are so unique. On a rainy day we went to the 3D art exhibition at Art in Paradise, it was such good fun, and far more than an exhibition.

Villa Song Saigon: "Great"

Review by: zaubererpferd | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Stayed here two days for business to avoid the usual ""Hilton, Hyatt ,,,"" routine and didnt regret that. The position to the river is unique altough if you are heading for the city centre you have to face either a boat trip or a longer taxi lift. Rooms are modern, sleeping quality very good. The restaurant cant decide what is the focus on (they call it fusion).  Breakfast only week point I can name (e.g. if you order ""bread basket"" you would expect butter, jam etc coming along with this, but here it means only bread so you have to ask for every item). Staff beautiful trained."

Rachamankha: "A superb and authentic boutique hotel"

Review by: Stekype | Source: tripadvisor.com
This place has everything I am looking for in a boutique hotel: charm, character, personality, style, comfort and more. Every single detail has clearly been thought through by someone of great taste and the result projects unpretentious refinement. The location is also excellent as well as the restaurant and service. I will definitely go back and highly recommend this hotel.

Nimmu House: "Nimmu the hidden gem of Leh"

Review by: Johanna B | Source: Trip Advisor
"I arrived in Leh with family travelling from Delhi, Nimmu house is a charming heritage boutique hotel approx 45mins from town and airport, surrounded with apricot & apple trees in a picturesque setting. On arrival the reception greeted us as family, very friendly and caring of our well being in acclimatising to the mountains.The air was fresh, water clean the beds very comfortable. Wifi is free, as to be expected in Ladakh it does not always work. I found it to be a great escape after being in Delhi, the first thing i noticed apart from the great beauty of the mountains was the fresh air and friendliness of the locals. I have also to mention the chef who is outstanding the waiter attentive and caring, the courtyard relaxing with comfortable seating and hammocks I really can not fault Nimmu and hope to return."

Samanea Beach Resort: "Girls Trip in Cambodia"

Review by: goadkimberly | Source: Trip Advisor
Beautiful, secluded resort. The hospitality and atmosphere is beyond expectations. We arrived in early afternoon to welcoming arms and were escorted to our villa. We enjoyed the delicious lunch and partook in 2 for 1 drinks at happy hour. When the bar tender discovered I preferred Bacardi Rum to what they offered, he went to a market and purchased it for my next drink! Unbelievable people! The servers gladly held our second round of drinks for after we returned from dinner. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and kind. The outdoor bath and shower were a perfect ending to serene and peaceful day.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Words don´t describe this unique place"

Review by: HipHopChick | Source: Trip Advisor
"This place is like no other. Best in Bali! We stayed here for three nights around New Year 2016, one night in a tent and two nights in a lumbung. Everything was just very unique and perfect, from entering the property to check out. The interior design, the garden and the plants, the tatched bamboo roofs and buildings not to mention the tents and the lumbungs, the pool overlooking the jungle and the ricefield surroundings. I would say Sandat has the friendliest staff in Bali and the supernice and friendly Italian owners have managed to create a spotless concept. The interior design and sophisticated taste just crowned it all! Sandat is just ca 10-15 minutes drive from Ubud center and has a totally unique atmosphere; tranquility, lush, nature, green with the jungle on one side and the rice fields on the other side. The place will have their own yoga studio from spring 2016. If you're about to book something for Ubud, don't hesitate to go for this. You won't regret it! We even returned after a week of traveling around Bali and spend our last days at this fantastic place. Big thumbs up to the Italian owners Emanuela and Federico!"

Tugu Bali: "Excellent performance"

Review by: Monique I | Source: Trip Advisor
"We didn't stay at this hotel. We walked in off the street and were completely drawn in by the decor. It's gorgeous! We walked around, saw the store downstairs, the beautiful swimming pool and grounds, walked around every floor and saw the amazing views. There were lovely air-conditioned rooms with individuals working at their computers so I think this would be a great place for folks with computer work to do. We were told there was a free performance with dinner so we stayed. The performance was 3 different dances with men playing gongs and the gamelan. It was a wonderful evening in a fabulous space. We met an Australian couple who were staying there and chatted with them for a while. They said the rooms were wonderful too. Also a great place to stay or for a special evening for couples. Thank you Hotel Tugu for a wonderful evening and for the photos! Room Tip: Stay for the performance"

Tugu Bali: "A+ Service. Beautiful Rooms"

Review by: sarahhelenreynolds | Source: Trip Advisor
So happy we found this beautiful hotel. We were blown away from the moment we walked in. The staff was delightful and very welcoming. The rooms were absolutely stunning, huge comfortable bed, gorgeous plunge pool, excellent AC, luxurious Balinese tub, and beautifully crafted local furniture and art. We also took a cooking class while staying, it was lovely. We'd recommend skipping the market visit, it was a long drive for such a quick stop. Regardless, it was a great way to spend one of our mornings in Canggu. We made enough food to enjoy for lunch and dinner. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Reverie Siam: "Paradise personified"

Review by: crh3983 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Only stayed one night as we took a last minute motorbike trip down from Chiang Mai, but it was well worth the journey! Was in Pai in 2014 and visited the bar/restaurant before the hotel had officially opened and was curious to see how it all turned out. Let's just say it lived up to the expectation. Such a special place and amazing staff to top it all off. Regret only staying for a night but so glad I had the chance to visit again and celebrate our engagement here. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"
