Review by: vichka2017 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hidden treasure is amazing. The view was spectacular. I got to experience the life in the nature. The room is very beautiful. The staff and foods are on point. They are very environmental friendly. To save the environment is always their priority. The kayak, the pickup boat the view of the place made me never wanted to leave this wonderful place ever. More than that, they are not just business people, they help the community to be aware of the environmental issue, .... Community saver!"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Our stay"

Review by: Alex B | Source: Trip Advisor
Worth every penny. Hands down the best food and best service you will have in Nepal. Situated on top of a big hill the lodge boasts views of the Pokhara valley and the imposing Himalaya in the backdrop. Pure luxury and class but never flashy.

Tugu Lombok: "Exquisite"

Review by: David M | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I had the pleasure of staying with the Tugu ‘family’ for 9 days - oh how we wished we could stay for much longer! From arriving Henry (one of the 2 managers) was possibly the most welcoming person in Indonesia. We arrived late due to a delayed flight (just after 10pm), he could see we were exhausted so gave us a very quick tour and took us straight to our room and said we can deal with the paper work for the check in in the morning. He also had the kitchen whip us up some sandwiches which I thought was extremely thoughtful. Rooms/Villa - each are decorated sympathetically in Indonesian/Lombok styles with pieces of furniture of the highest quality, from the living area/ bedroom, bathroom and garden to the restaurant and bar - everything. Food - whether you want to experience typical Indonesian food or prefer something more western, Tugu caters for everyone. I’d recommend for breakfast to try the Burbur Ketan Hetam, delicious. Alongside Henry, Ellie is the other manager who is equally as warm and welcoming. I can’t single out all the other superb staff, but ones I can remember are Russwal and Eka. Hopefully my wife and I can visit again one day in the not too distant future. Thanks again to all of the team at Tugu for making our stay a once in a lifetime."

Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song: a wonderful Art Deco hotel occupying a quiet position on the banks of the Saigon river"

Review by: Richard C | Source: Trip Advisor
Great hotel, great food (apart from breakfast, which was average), fantastic bedroom and really helpful staff. Annoying niggly problems with signing bills and a trainee at breakfast barely understood English. Nice free mini-bar in room, with water, soft drinks and beer.

Nimmu House: "A really nice change of pace"

Review by: tigertomPackwood | Source: Trip Advisor
Most people spend their first night in Ladakh in Leh (the site of the airport) which is fine, but another- and arguably better- option is to drive one hour west to the village of Nimmu near the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers, and stay at the wonderful Nimmu House. I stayed in one of the excellent and comfortable tents, which were both spacious and quiet (unlike Leh). The food was really good, especially the lemon chicken which was absolutely delicious. The staff is friendly, and the only improvements I could suggest would be some better grounds maintenance. I would definitely stay here again!

Inle Princess Resort: "WOW, WOW, WOW – just awesome"

Review by: PatrickLongBeach | Source: Trip Advisor
"This place is the best!! I read some of the negative reviews and after staying at this property, I can only assume that the people were on drugs who did not like the place. This beautiful property sits waterfront on the lake. When you boat arrives, they turn off the engine and paddle in so the guests are not disturbed by engine noise. Our room was massive! All wood and just beautiful beyond belief. Same with the bathroom - massive. The big treat was the outdoor shower, we both loved it. No television in the room which is great. Perfect bed and netting around the bed. Dining room was just great with great food. The service was off the chart great - from check in, bar, dining room and even the friendly gardeners. I had a massage which was also just great. Our tour guide picked us up each day in the boat and off we went to see the sites. I regretted not having an extra day just to hang by the pool or sit on my deck, something you might want to think about because it is so peaceful. PROS: Massive room Great air conditioning Great Service Great food - especially breakfast Good drinks Great views of the lake - quiet Great bedding with turn down service They spray for mosquitos like crazy CONS: None I would highly recommend this place. If you are looking for a hot, jumping disco club disco place, this is not for you. If you want to relax and see the sights, this is it!!!"

Amata Lanna: "Great boutique hotel"

Review by: dthuson1126 | Source: Trip Advisor
Awesome hotel with a really amazing staff that makes you feel welcome from the time you walk in. Rooms were very cozy and we enjoyed the nice firm bed! Close to the night bazar and city center. The staff also helped with taxi's and suggested a great spa that offered free transport! Overall a great time at the Amata Lanna

Tugu Bali: "Funky and Gorgeous and Romantic"

Review by: Travellina1 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is a very colorful, unique hotel with a very funky Japanese restaurant that feels like a Shanghai opium den. The rooms are beautiful and romantic. Lots of antiques everywhere, great photography and generally all around wonderful service. Right across the street from a great, bright and spacious restaurant called Old Man to have lunch at with a young and gorgeous surfer crowd. The lobby is huge and dramatic, they have dance performances on certain nights that are beautiful and entirely non- cheesy. Can't recommend enough. You feel like you are in a movie. Jenny, the manager, is a delight and super helpful. We had friends come and visit from an hour away and they said it was worth the trip just to see the hotel. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

Satri House: "Perfect in every way"

Review by: mcmc1953 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Spent 4 days here exploring the lovely city of Luang Prabang. After a hectic 2 weeks in Vietnam this was a welcome oasis. From the moment you enter the property you feel a world away from the noise outside. Close by there is a temple so you can hear the soft chanting off and on throughout the day. The staff are attentive and helpful, the pool is lovely and the breakfast was excellent and the rooms gorgeous and comfortable. A 10 minute walk to the night market and chaos of downtown. We were lucky to be there for the beautiful full moon and end of lent celebration. What a sensory treat. We highly recommend!!"
