The Island Lodge: "The perfect place to stay in the Mekong Delta"
Having been to Vietnam before i wasn't looking to explore but it must be said that Island Lodge would be the perfect place to explore the Mekong Delta from, everything is literally on your doorstep when staying here. I was looking for a quiet place to work and relax and it is perfect for this too. Set on an island facing the Mekong, the property has the feel of a grand home with warm, friendly and discreet staff on hand when required. Such a peaceful spot, time seems to slow down here, Ideal to catch up on some work or to just relax with a good friend or a good book. And I never tired of watching the boats on the Mekong from the balcony of my room. The perfect place for a city break, the perfect place to explore the Mekong delta from and the perfect place just to relax and unwind. If you are heading to Saigon make time for a few days here. Thank-you Michel and the team for making us feel so at home. See you again sometime soon I hope.Tugu Malang: "Truely Colonial"
"Tugu Hotel is an icon in Malang, East Java province, and most likely it's the best hotel in town. It has all the facilities of a 5-star hotel, bar, restaurant, swimming pool to identify some. The environment is very lush and greenish, a plus point. It's also centrally located in the heart of the city, yet another plus point. The room is neatly arranged, cozy, and clean, equipped with a tea table, fantastic.. Afternoon tea is served between 4 - 6 pm, free of charge. The staffers are warm and forthcoming, another plus point. Over all rating is 5/5."Rakkojae Seoul: "Oasis in Seoul"
A wonderful experience of traditional Korean culture and hospitality. Gracious, generous service, beautiful ambience and superb breakfasts. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We thank them again.Bassac Cruises: "Great experience"
I wasn't sure what to expect on this cruise because my travel agent called this cruise by a different name and I couldn't find info about it before I went, but I was pleasantly surprised. The boat is quite nice and this trip was relaxing. While the rooms are very small, they had everything one needed and were cute and clean. The bathroom shower was the kind you hold while you stand at the sink, but it was warm and it worked fine for 2 days. The food was excellent. I was so impressed that those meals were made on a boat! The staff was friendly and made sure my picky kids had something they would eat at each meal, which I very much appreciated. Note to parents: there are no adjoining rooms. I have 2 six-year-olds, so my husband stayed with one and I stayed with the other, just for safety purposes. This is not the kind of boat one could fall off of easily so I wouldn't hesitate to bring young kids on board, but pack your tablets or something to entertain them because they'll be bored otherwise. My kids are happy to spend all day chilling out on a recliner with an ipad so they loved this cruise. I enjoyed seeing the homes on the delta and taking the tour to see the fruit and farming home. There is wifi on board but the connection is spotty and mostly slow.Supanniga Eating Room: "Consistantly good"
"We've hit Supanniga again last night. Every time (twice a year) we come to Bangkok we make sure to have dinner there and have always been rewarded for sticking to good old habits. Last night was no exception. We tried to innovate choosing dishes we'd never tried before and were pleased with every single taste. Service was as always attentive. Supanigga remains a good destination for whoever is looking for good thai food with a twist in a cozy yet animated environment"Inle Princess Resort: "Magical place"
I have enjoyed every minute of the stay at Inle princess. Not only that it's such a lovely, green place with lots of flowers and greenery but also the services quality is impressive. Staff is always eager to run an extra mile to make your stay unforgettable, and the best part of it is how genuinely and kind are they. Last, I've met Sasha, their adorable Burmese cat and she has just stolen my heartCuca: "Superb restaurant"
The food style is tapas so you can order as little or as much as you like. The tastes are amazing as is the presentation. It's so good that we went twice while on an 8 day trip in the area.The Island Lodge: "A bijou at the Mekong Delta"
Our stay at The Island Lodge was simply awesome. The food is great and the service is extremely polite and attentive. Michel has taken his time to personally talk to us and make guests feel welcome which is much appreciated and adds to the warm experience we had. The whole experience is rounded up with the nice swimming pool at the Mekong river and the Spa which invite to some relaxing moments.Satri House: "Voyage en Indochine"
"Merveilleux hôtel! Charme colonial et voyage dans le temps en Indochine. Personnel adorable et soin dans les moindres détails de confort et recherche dans une esthétique raffinée.

Notre séjour de 10 jours sur place était somptueux nous avons été accueillis comme des rois le service est impeccable d’ailleurs c’est la 2 ème fois que nous séjournons dans cette endroit au milles et une facette dans une ambiance romantique à souhait... nous avons séjourné dans la villa des rizières dans la chambre Bornéo... notre seul regret fût que le séjour ai été trop court... tellement le personnel et les propriétaires des lieux sont d’une gentillesse extraordinaire... Nous retournerons sans faute pour faire les 3 hôtels proposés par les propriétaires
