Maison Polanka: "Great Place To Stay"

Small and quiet . . . If you like being out of the hustle and bustle of the city and yet easy access to everything . . . this is your place. Clean, comfortable with a terrific service orientation . . . The grounds are immaculate . . . green and well maintained. The food is very good and the staff attends to every wish . . . one of the best places we stayed in while visiting S E Asia for a month.

satri house: "A jewel"

Lovely colonial property with modern facilities. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Interesting rooms and common areas with beautiful antiques. Nice pool and garden, which makes this a perfect oasis to relax. Excellent food, too.

Mie Cafe: "Amazing dinner in Cambodia-Siem Reap"

Excellent Chef! What a great and wonderful surprise! I strongly recommend! The food was superb and the service is top. Best dinner in Cambodia! It would be a successful restaurant in Europe!

tugu lombok: "Paradise!"

We stayed here for 6 nights in December and had the best time of our lives. This place is amazing! The hotel and it's grounds are so beautiful. We stayed in one of the Amempang rooms and it was so luxurious and absolutely huge. I've never been anywhere like this before- it's absolute paradise. The staff are exceptional and all so happy, friendly, welcoming and eager to go the extra mile for you. My boyfriend proposed to me while we were here, and because he'd let them know what he was planning they set us up a private dinner in one of the beds on the beach and had it all decorated for us. When we went back to our room they had decorated that for us too! They had made animal arrangements out of the towels, lit candles in the bathroom and filled up the bath with water and flowers. They made our whole stay so special I can't thank them enough. We are coming back for our honeymoon!

Villa Song Saigon: "beautiful hotel"

absolutely good, loved the rooms, stayed with my husband and 2 kids, good connecting rooms, nice garden and the terrace has a beautiful view on the Mekong river with the boats during day and especially afternoon with sunset. Always interesting! breakfast is on the menu and no buffet but good choice, very good coffee!  My kids loved the big pool and the 15 minute boat ride to town!

David’s Kitchen: "Top cuisine"

Absolutely fabulous delicious dinner, we noted the great attention to every little detail. A real fusion of Thai and European food, excellent service, great location.

Cuca: "Wow adventure"

It's a really amazing restaurant set up with open kitchen. All the chef is working in a very systemic way and you cannot imagine how clean the kitchen is.The service is excellent and the food is very outstanding. You vision,taste and smell has been all taken care. The food is tasty and placed like a artwork. We have tried the chef tasting meal which you can experience 9 different course. Every dishes was impressed and the chef will explain the dish to you one by one. The main chef Kevin will even approach and talk to you personally about the experience. It's a must visit restaurant in Bali.

Misool Eco Resort: "Dream Holiday"

"This place is AMAZING. Best place I've ever stayed. It's the one place I'd go back to. Again and again. Or indeed, just never leave. If you dive, it's incredible. I've dived all around the world, and this was by far the most outstanding and varied I've seen anywhere. But it's not too shabby above sea too. The rooms are incredible. You walk down into the sea and swim. With incredible wildlife. We had great food too. All in all, it was all round excellent. I really really can't wait to go again. It's a b**** to get to from London, but it's worth it."

tugu bali: "Exquisite beauty and great service"

"We were given a welcome drink and then escorted through beautiful grounds to room 209, an upper- floor Renjang Suite which was huge and featured a four-post canopy bed with carved wood, a beautiful hammered metal tub (a common Tugu Hotels feature) on an enclosed porch with views to the Indian Ocean and much more. The room was done throughout in beautiful wood and felt very cosy. The ceiling must have reached 20 feet at the top of the vault. Two Aircon units in the room kept the Bali heat in check. The bedding was very comfortable and in the serene setting with the sound of the waves out the windows we slept very well. The lighting was too dim for reading in bed, so bring your clip- to- the- book light if that matters to you! There were separate rooms for the shower and for the toilet. There was a lot of closet space and plenty of room for our luggage. Breakfast was a la carte and had a nice selection. The black rice was excellent, more or less a pudding, with coconut milk, delicious. Their omelets were tasty, too. There was delicately smoked salmon on their equivalent of soda bread, a very successful combination. The front desk, the bar, the restaurant tables and a large stage all share a big space under a vaulted roof. There was a cultural evening on our Thursday evening, no charge, and it was great. The statue of some winged beast at the back of the stage is impressive. The hotel is a showplace of various Indonesian works of art and is worth visiting just for that reason. The hotel puts chairs on the beach for guests and there’s also a lawn with beach chairs. You can order dinner and drinks on the lawn. The beach walks were great. There are lots of surfers to watch, and there are bars all along the beach in case the hot sun makes you thirsty… There were plenty of bars and restaurants all up and down the streets, too, but from what I saw between the hotel and the airport, there are restaurants and boutiques nearly everywhere in Bali, some in the least likely places. Be sure to agree taxi prices before you go anywhere as they will rip you off if you let them. Our first and only experience with this ended well because the Tugu’s porter came up to the taxi when he saw me disagreeing with the driver, and when he heard the driver’s demand he told the taxi guy to take what I offered and buzz off. After that, we were careful to agree beforehand. The location seems to be good, although this was my first trip to Bali and I do not have anything to compare it to. It takes about an hour to manage the 22km from the airport. At the end of our stay, the staff prepared a nice basket of fruit and chilled water to snack on in the car to the airport, and they all came out to wave goodbye, a very nice touch. We will certainly stay at the Tugu on our next Bali visit. "

MesaStila: "Nostalgic"

"My family came across this wonderful ""pit stop"" many years ago during our land trip from Yogyakarta to Semarang. Back then it was still called Losari Coffee Plantation. And as a city kid, I was entranced by the natural environment and rustic Javanese environment/architecture of the resort. My family have not had the pleasantry to stay in the Villa's as both my grandparents lived in between (us passing by happened during Indonesian national holidays) yet, but we always made sure to have a lunch break on their Restaurant when possible. The scenery from the restaurant (and swimming pool) itself is a treasure not to be forgotten. The same goes for the food and service. Never in my many experience coming here had I ever had a sullen or non friendly staff aiding my short stay. Never had the food ever disappointed me either. I'm no coffee expert, but even as a child I had loved their roasted coffee beans + palm sugar condiments, it is to die for! (Available from August - Sept according to the nice lady by the Gallery). As for my latest visit, I had the pleasure to devour their absolutely delicious ""Starfruit Salad"", perfect for the summer! And lets not forget their ""Udang Bakar Madu"", that one menu I still remember from my earliest visit. Perhaps my next visit can be the spa / the villa :)"
