Tugu Bali: "What a mind blowing entrance"

Review by: Vanessa Ann S | Source: Trip Advisor
Pool, cocktails and beach...we were staying 5 mins away at a private villa so can't comment on the accomodation but what an awesome place for a day or evening time out...amazing!!! Their cocktails were insanely great, beautiful beach, 2 pools to choose from and very friendly fun staff on hand!!! Love this hotel space. We came back 2 days in a row, first during the day then the next evening for beach cocktails!! Both very different and awesome experiences!! Highly recommend!! We'll be back!!

Satri House: "elegant and family friendly"

Review by: MariaPaul1 | Source: Trip Advisor
we stayed as 2 parents, 2 children and a grandparent. We were conveniently given 2 adjoining rooms, both gorgeous and spacious. Satri house is larger than expected and very pretty, I kept getting lost on the way to breakfast! The 2 swimming pools were fantastic and refreshing. The staff were all very friendly, even when we were struggling to communicate! Julie and Gianni are very helpful and kind. My husband loved their Lao whiskey! One morning we got up at 4.30am to see the morning alms. However we found there were monks just in front of the hotel which was very beautiful to see. Our kids treasure the little Hill tribe dolls they were each given as we sadly departed. Although it is not right in the heart of Luang Prabang, it was an easy walk and easier tuk tuk away. Highly recommended!

Pindaya Farm House: "A charming farmhouse"

Review by: Sithu T | Source: Trip Advisor
Unlike many popular and expensive hotels in Myanmar with extravagant yet very poor in taste decorations, Pindaya farmhouse stands out with cozy and warm ambience. No TV, no hot shower but that’s ok... it’s more natural that way... It fits exactly for people who look for different tastes when they travel. Farm hosts are not only extremely hospitable, but very good in making meals. We are treated with beautiful breakfast of variety of farm grown fruits & Shan noodle. It’s almost like visiting a friend’s house for a night. It was during high festive season in Myanmar of Lighting Thadingyut festival when I was there. Many people make lanterns out of local Shan paper. Night sky was filled with floating paper lanterns. I can’t express how much I enjoyed staying there for a night. I wished I had more time to stay there a bit longer to do some cycling among those beautiful valleys, canola fields and wine yards. Needless to say how pleasant highland weather was. It was a memorable stay, it was an instant love and joy.

THE SAMAR: "Perfect sanctuary after seeing the temples"

Review by: alanamo | Source: Trip Advisor
I've traveled through Siem Reap visiting Angkor Wat a few times now and know that even if you don't spend a lot of time in your hotel, after a long day of exploring the temples it's feels really nice to come back to a special space to relax and recharge. After the temple crowds, I loved The Samar's quiet charm and tranquility. I also really appreciated the Khmer-inspired architecture and free facial -- such a perk!

The Village House: "LOVE IT!"

Review by: AdelaThen | Source: tripadvisor.com
Very romantic and relaxing place. I love the ambience of that place. Staff was very friendly. The place is very isolated and hard to find in the first place. But overall everything was fine and i would love to visit again in the future :)

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Most Amazing Trip of All Time"

Review by: vichka2017 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hidden treasure is amazing. The view was spectacular. I got to experience the life in the nature. The room is very beautiful. The staff and foods are on point. They are very environmental friendly. To save the environment is always their priority. The kayak, the pickup boat the view of the place made me never wanted to leave this wonderful place ever. More than that, they are not just business people, they help the community to be aware of the environmental issue, .... Community saver!"

The Island Lodge: "Peaceful visit"

Review by: Helen P | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed here after a day on the Mekong Delta. The staff are really attentive and go out of their way to welcome you and look after you while you are there. The pool is brilliant, the gardens are exquisite and we really enjoyed the beautiful French food.

Mathis Retreat: "Too short stay – will be back"

Review by: Damien D | Source: Trip Advisor
"We regularly come to Bali and Ubud has been our Favourite for years. This was our 1st stay at Mathis Retreat (we had tried the Seminyak Sister resort) and we clearly wished we had stayed longer (we had to fly back on 31st). Despite the slow start (restaurant was closed when we reached at 4pm and staff was not very excited and Creative to prepare anything for 3 starving kids), all the rest was only good if not great surprises. Big and clean connecting rooms on the ground floor of one of the building, rice fields view, great dinner food with nice wine selection, scooters organized in advance, late check-out where we kept 1 room until 5:30pm, very friendly staffs, tasty breakfast with several freshly made options,... Of course, the price is not cheap but definitely worth the money. We'll come back and stay longer !"

Labyrinth: "Blown away experience"

Review by: jenncpl | Source: Trip Advisor
It was a very pleasant dinner experience we had! We were looking forward to the next dish being served and each dish just keeps getting better. Recommend this place for anniversary, or a romantic dinner.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Quiet and close to everything"

Review by: Paula B | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed recently for three nights and had a wonderful stay. This property is just off Sukhumvit Rd but very quiet and peaceful. Beautifully decorated property with eclectic pieces throughout. Our room was small but very elegant, filled with scent of lemongrass when we arrived. The bed was very comfortable with beautiful linens. Breakfast is served in the library and bar areas at comfy casual sofas. We couldn't go past the pork skewers, sticky rice and spicy sauce. Great coffee and mandarin juice were also really delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They strike just the right balance between providing great service when needed and leaving you to it the rest of the time. We ate at the restaurant with friends on our last night. The food was amazing and we got to try a few new things. All together, a great stay
