Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Just the best, if you can stay here"

The care and attention to detail I do not believe can be improved at this excellent place. All the staff, and indeed the owner are at hand to make your visit a positive one. I do not eat meat and was given an array of specially made food for my pleasure. The views on clear days are spectacular and to sit with a cup of tea and watch the mountains is a very special experience.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Touching perfection"

From the moment you arrive at Glenburn and greeted by Will Faye and Alex, the wonderful experience of Glenburn begins. The buildings might be old English but the staff and the service is warm and attentive. A morning walk to the river of a little over 2 hours through the Glenburn Tea plantations with a wonderful guide is rewarded with welcome refreshments and a BBQ lunch. Heaven. On another day, Parveez the Plantation Manager, who manages 1000 people, took time out of his busy schedule to take us on a tour of the Tea Factory and educate us on the finer points of making tea, Darjeeling tea. We learn about Silver Needle, First Flush, Green and Oolong tea. Further walks through the local villages and we meet such happy and smiling people. You feel yourself wind down and relax. The meals are wonderful at Glenburn, all prepared with themes each evening around a table with all the guests eating together. Breakfasts and lunches are either taken on the veranda with the other guests, in your room or packed up for you if you are travelling. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is possible at Glenburn. Train tickets were changed, guides provided for private trips and food and drink prepared on request. Heaven! As Arne said famously "We'll be back!"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Very lovely hideout"

Beautiful place - if you go there, you never want to leave.... amazing food, great yoga lessons, very friendly staff, excellent food, nice spa. Like Thailand was 30 years ago but better. If you want internet in your room, buy a prepaid card at the airport, wifi only in at the restaurant. Be aware of the monkeys!

The Island Lodge: "Charme, magie, et Dépaysement !!"

"S'il existe des lieux rares, The Island Lodge en fait parti !! Incroyable de tranquillité, un accueil grande classe, et tout ce qu'il faut pour rejoindre une ville bouillonnante où tout simplement découvrir le coin. Un endroit à découvrir, partager en famille ou avec des amis sans hésiter !! Un moment très chaleureux en grande partie lié à l'accueil de Françoise, Michel et leur équipe !! On y retournera très certainement."

Dewakan: "Amazing"

"This restaurant is out of the centre of KL about 35 minutes without traffic an hour with. Don't let this put you off. The food is spectacular and from an international perspective reasonably priced. We had the 10 course degustation which with 3 pre entrees and an extra dessert worked out at 14 different and very interesting dishes for RM250(I think). The food while paying homage to Malaysia is very much modern cuisine. Every dish was unique."

Cuca: "Best food I have eaten….anywhere"

This restaurant is without doubt the best I have ever visited. The food was absolutely delicious, modern cuisine that took us on a culinary adventure. I personally think it's good value for money, a little more expensive than most places in Bali but 100% worth the money.

Satri House: "Just about perfect"

"My sisters and I stayed here in early part of December 2015 for four nights. Satri House is great small hotel just the right distance for the middle of town. Our room was clean and comfortable we walked out to a peaceful lily pool. Breakfast was delicious. After a day of sightseeing Satri House was a great place to come back and relaxand with a cocktails around the pool. we also loved taking the bikes back out in early evening and ride a short trip to the main part of town for more exploring and shopping. Satri House is just the perfect distance from main town in a quiet neighborhood. Would definetly recommend to friends. .The staff was very kind and efficient. THey were more than happy to call for tuktuk each evening for us us to get to diinner. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Laung Prabang."

The Island Lodge: "Top place"

We stayed in a garden room. These are top class. breakfast selection was ok. And we had a top class dinner in the restaurant which offered a French selection of meals along with Asian. The pool area is a great setting looking out to the Mekong Delta.

Rahai’i Pangun: "Beautiful"

Wow Borneo is very well run. The boats are clean, modern and the crew fantastic. The food is without a doubt 5 star. The 2 owners are really committed to giving you the very best service. I have been 3 times now on the boat. You see the orangutans up close and its such an intimate experience. You enter by small boat to see them. The Dayak villages are so beautiful and keep their old ways. Its a great trip. Such a beautiful part of the world.

Talabgaon Castle: "Great heritage resort"

We stayed here for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our heritage room was tastefully decorated in a tradional style and made good use of the original arched architecture, quite charming. The monogrammed bedlinen and fluffy white towels were beautiful, and not found elsewhere in our four weeks in India. The gardens and pool area were beautifully maintained, and a great place to relax and dine. Service was sometimes slow, but it is good to see that locals are being trained to provide it. The food when it came was excellent. In all, a wonderful place to chill out, and great value.
