Mathis Retreat: "Little gem in Ubud"

We spent 4 nights in Mathis Retreat in April 2017. It was perfect. Excellent service, great restaurant with endless view over the rice fields, owner who is taking care of each guest and make him feel special. Organization of any tour or transport you need. Shuttle to the town every hour. Stylish rooms, great pool..... Highly recommended

Tugu Bali: "A+ Service. Beautiful Rooms"

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!

Tugu Bali: "So good I don’t want anyone else to know about it!"

"Had my 10th Anniversary there and it was utterly magical. The staff looked after us so well, they made every effort to make sure that we had the best experience and it worked! Food was delicious, rooms were stunning and the view was incredible. They couldn't control the weather unfortunately so our rooftop sunset meal was just a rooftop meal but the setting was so glorious it didn't matter. I will never forget my time there and look forward to many more <3"

Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing Place with Truly Amazing Hospitality"

"Stayed at this property for 2 nights with wife & 2 year old kid. Striking feature about this resort: 1. Staff: be it reception, housekeeping or restaurant,they are simply the people who love their job truly. Always welcoming guest with a big smile & addressing the guest by their names. They love to engage with the guest on variety of topics . 2. View from the restaurant. It is picture perfect for a good start to your day. Property is small, but has its own charm & we truly enjoyed our stay here. Rooms are small (Relatively) but practical. Offer complete privacy to each of the room. Bathroom is open to air & you may have to share your space with some tiny guests... Snails :) Our room was provided with an infant bed as complimentary. Breakfast is tasty & if you have a specific preference, do let them know in advance so that they can accommodate your request. Beach is small & rocky. I wish the all Hotels that share this beach own up some responsibility and ensure cleanliness on beach. Special mention for Gopal for wonderful conversation during dinner."

Mudanwan Villa: "Luxury at its Best"

"We stayed here with our families and each family had its own villa. Each villa is unique and different from one another and faces the pond that is in the centre. The villa has a great relaxation area that serves daily afternoon tea and snacks. The area is an open space so we could listen to the nature and the insects and birds sing. The food was delicious as well. We stayed here for a couple of nights and we were able to book the private room that sat all of us around a large family round table. The food was different each night and it was delicious! The service was also exceptional. We were able to fish and swim in the infinity pool at the resort. We loved the ambience and the tranquillity. TIP: Just outside the villa there is a non-profit mini school that was started by a couple. They wanted to provide good education to the aboriginal kids who live in the area. Many university students volunteer their time to educate the children. If you were to go visit this place, please visit the mini school and perhaps you can donate some school supplies, books and perhaps mini donations. The volunteers (university students) also help serve food that the couple runs to help support the mini school. Go dine there if you are curious!!"

Talabgaon Castle: "Enjoyable Stay"

The fantastic property nestled in the interiors of Rajasthan is a unique and interesting proposition. I truly enjoyed my stay was very well looked after.The heritage room was fabulous with all the amenities and the bathroom is of great quality. The food was of good quality and the personal involvement of the owners is quite apparent in the overall detailing. The staff is always ready to please. You could stay and be totally disconnected from the outside world and have a refreshing holiday.

Nimmu House: "Un pur moment de bonheur"

A 30-45 mins du centre de Leh, Nimmu House est un petit havre de paix, calme, extrêmement agréable où Manon et toute son équipe souriante et chaleureuse vous accueilleront. Vous serez conquis par la maison principale Ladhaki typique de la région, et les tentes qui sont décorées avec beaucoup de gout. Les petits-déjeuners et dîners sont remarquables, fins et vous goûterez avec plaisir à une cuisine franco-Ladhaki pleine de saveurs. Nous avons confortablement dormi sous tente durant 2 nuits: On sent le souci du détail ainsi que les petites attentions (eau chaude en journée et le soir, grosse couette et petite bouillotte dans le lit la nuit venue, peignoirs en nid d'abeille...). Vous trouverez également quelques produits locaux à acheter sur place pour venir en aide aux familles du village (vente d'huile d'abricot bio, sachet d'abricots secs excellents...) sans oublier le feu de bois la nuit tombée autour duquel vous pourrez discuter balades ou autre en français notamment à moins que vous ne préférez regarder les étoiles dans les hamacs ou transats mis à disposition ! Bref, un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce pur moment de bonheur, de partage et de détente. Nous vous recommandons cette demeure de charme les yeux fermés et ... Longue vie à Nimmu House !

The Hue House: "Foodie heaven"

"The Hue House,for us, was unforgettable. The food is incredibly fresh, imaginative and plentiful. The staff are attentive but unobtrusive. We shared several plates, all on the advice of management and could not have been more impressed. The mixed entree (my favorite) Banh thap cam was full of flavor and variety and so very fresh. The little dumplings stuffed with shrimp & pork, on top of the stuffed, fried dough were sublime. I say add Cuon diep, the BBQ'd spare ribs, to the list of must tries but really,everything we tried was delicious. Hue cuisine is steeped in tradition and we're wishing restauranteur Huy Tran all the best in this latest venture and please,please bring it to Australia."
