Satri House: "Amazing Stay"
"Recently stayed here with my girlfriends and we were blown away from the moment we walked in to Satri House until the moment we left. Although the property is located 15-20mins walk from town/night market, they do provide complimentary bicycles for guests to explore the quaint town. It is also safe to walk and wander the streets til late as well. Everyone we met never failed to greet us warmly and smile including Giovanni himself. The team members would always try their best to engage in a conversation whenever possible without intruding our privacy. Service here is top notch and it truly exceeded my expectations especially coming from the hotel industry itself. Thank you for the wonderful birthday surprise at the pool by the team. It definitely caught the birthday girl off guard :) Kudos to the team!"Mudanwan Villa: "Will want to go"
Where a family can get together but also memorable childhood fishing fun is the most important can not go after it may have been drinking also can eat hot springs drawback is that the road has been too far away after the first bitter Gan certainThe Apsara Rive Droite: "Start and end your day with a boat ride, what could be better"
Stayed here with friends for a business meeting and leisure trip last September. What a find! Perfectly located a short boat ride (1 minute) across the Nam Khan river from old town Luang Prabang with river views from the rooms, this is a really charming property offering all you need for a great Luang Prabang stay. By the way, it is owned by the owner of The Apsara (a hotel/restaurant) which is on the opposite side of the river and has just the best dining for authentic, and delicious Luang Prabang cuisine...not to be missed! I cannot fault my stay at the Apsara Rive Droite. The room was a highlight - big airy rooms tastefully and purposefully decorated (loved the coffee percolator with local fresh ground coffee), big balcony to sit and enjoy the peaceful river scene below, and super comfortable big bed (a lot of bigs there for a boutique hotel!...who says size isn't everything, you cannot beat a nice spacious room and bathroom). But the top highlight for me at Rive Droite was the staff, from the owner to the boatman (yes the Rive Droite boat is on call at all times and just part of the service for their guests) warm, friendly and always ready with a tip on how to get the best from your stay from recommending me a bicycle ride to sourcing some Luang Prabang sausage for me to take home, it really was like staying amongst friends. I have to say, there really cannot be a better way to start and end any day than a slow boat ride across a lazy river...Pindaya Farm House: "A wonderful, relaxing time"
Aye Aye, her husband and team at Thahara Pindaya couldn't have been more welcoming. The accommodation and food were fantastic and the walks and sightseeing gave us a small insight to a spectacular, fantastic, friendly country. Thank you!Misool Eco Resort: "Unforgettable holiday"
Misool is an amazing lodge in gorgeous Raja Ampat. not only is it gorgeous, clean and luxurious: it has done tremendous work to preserve the manta rays, sharks and other marine life of raja Ampat and Indonesia at large. Misool' said conservation work is crucial to protecting the astounding (and increasingly rare) biodiversity that makes Raja Ampat such an outstanding diving and snorkeling destination. I would absolutely return, and would not consider staying at any other lodge as I believe we must support conservation work. Service is likewise impeccable, including amazing massages.Mudanwan Villa: "Relax"
"Here is completely relaxed did not control a parked five hungry have food do not be afraid to ride a bicycle can go to the beach Pool Spa can also let you enjoy fishing "Tugu Malang: "Hotel ini memberikan pengalaman berbeda & sangat personal. Fully recommended"
"We stayed at the Hotel Tugu Malang, with the intention unt different experience from 'modern in general. (2dewasa, 1 child. 3 Days 2 Nights) We get a room on the first floor near the swimming pool. This is the first time we stayed here and were very impressed with this hotel: 1. Architecture and Java Colonial-style interior, filled with antiques. This point may be nothing like it, some do not. 2. The service is very personal. Here, the staff greet you with your name, ma'am whom, sir whom so. Very friendly and warm. 3. Got a welcome drink and a snack. 4. In the room, above the bed are welcome Postcard addressed to Us personally, with little interest. 5. Got Fruit Basket, his mouth filled every day (not just one time when he came alone). 6. Got Compliment Massage. 7. There is a Tour Hotel. In other hotels there is no hotel tour probably because no reply is told, at the Hotel Tugu lot of story. 8. Afternoon snack market got a compliment snacks and traditional drinks in the lounge. 9. Restaurannya nice and the food is good. The price such as resto in Jakarta Mall. 10. When you check out, offered a more traditional beverages. No Welcome Drink usual hotel, here fitted with Goodbye Drink. 11. Got souvenirs Kawi Coffee brand essence, from their coffee plantations. Overall, this hotel provides a different experience and very personal. Fully recommended. "The Island Lodge: "Excellent experience"
"We only stayed at The Island Lodge for one night but had a great experience. The staff including Michel the owner was very friendly and welcoming. Great rooms with view to the mekong delta and cleaning was spotless. Breakfast was really good and the winelist for dinner is second to none in all of Asia. We can definetely recommend The Island Lodge Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Maduzi Hotel: "Home again"
"I've been coming here on business several times a year for 5 or 6 years. A small boutique hotel just off the main drag. Things have evolved but the friendlyness and quality remain. This tranquil oasis with 24 hour service remains a global favourite. With 24hour bar and coffee service and flexible check out a boon to the business traveller. Everything happens at its own tranquil pace be that breakfast, check in or coffee. Nothing is to much trouble."Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing experience – excellent service"
"Visited for one night on our honeymoon. Were greeted by the friendly Dhanu who drove us in the jeep to camp. Stayed in a couples tent. Tent was spacious, fans, proper flush toilet next to the tent, shower under the stars (they offer warm water shower). The lunch provided was the best Sri Lankan meal I have had in our holiday in this country. The flavours and variety was specialist. Trying all the different types of vegetables and spices. After lunch we went on our first game drive. We were so lucky to see Leopard resting on branch of tree. Saj was great at spotting the wildlife and very informative about the park, history, leopards etc etc. Lovely dinner under the stars and Noel was also there for the night which was great to meet him. We were up early for the dawn game drive. Again we were very fortunate to see he bears (one which charged the jeep) and 2 Leopards which we saw mating. Amazing experience and very lucky to have these encounters with the wildlife. Overall we had an amazing time and wish we stayed 2 nights. We were lucky to see that variety in wildlife in just 2 game drives. Highly recommend. Thank you to all staff, your service and hospitality was impeccable"
