THE SAMAR: "Perfect sanctuary after seeing the temples"

I've traveled through Siem Reap visiting Angkor Wat a few times now and know that even if you don't spend a lot of time in your hotel, after a long day of exploring the temples it's feels really nice to come back to a special space to relax and recharge. After the temple crowds, I loved The Samar's quiet charm and tranquility. I also really appreciated the Khmer-inspired architecture and free facial -- such a perk!

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A few days to chill"

"Well... I could say I hated the place... to keep u all away... so I can keep it all to myself.... I just loved it... So historic, original, wonderful staff, huge rooms all fully restored in modern luxury and the whole place with old/antique furniture... I was in my element... elegant, traditional. Fantastic food, ( the dining room ceiling looks ridiculous) but the rest is just gorgeous... It is the middle of downtown GT (George Town), lots of transport options, and walking to discover the rest of GT is easy... The staff are wonderful... I just loved it I would not take kids there... destroy the atmosphere.... but I am sure kids would be welcome.... if necessary A very, very special place... If u are into history and love the old... you will, like I love the place... do go....."

Mume: "Just amazing"

"I personally cannot understand the low rating. My experience here was fantastic! I am from the industry and the food & cocktails were on a really high level. Also the casual dress code and relaxed environment just make it better. For Taipei it might not be cheap, but compared to places like Hong Kong or Singapore it is! And you definitely get great quality and its worth it! Recommending this place to everyone!"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Truly boutique!"

"I visited this property while on work and was totally floored by the excellent service and the look and ambience of it. Quaint thatched roof cottages (some with their own private swimming pool and jacuzzi) are named uniquely after emotions like Peace, Love, Joy. Amazing sea views and a sandbar between the sea and the lagoon had me clicking away at my camera!!. The infinity pool faces the sea and looks inviting. The staff from the spa therapist to the restaurant stewards took very good care of me..As a single woman traveller, they made me feel safe and very comfortable. The resort does NOT use mineral water bottles at all! Water is served in glass bottles or copper jugs. The rooms also DO NOT have televisions so it is perfect for a digital detox holiday. The Common Room has a TV for those who cannot do without their daily dose of television bytes......There are two restaurants..One of them has a great collection of books which guests can borrow to read. A WOW experience I would love to repeat with my family! Room Tip: Choose cottages with the sea view...lovely to wake up to the sound of waves!!"

Mie Cafe: "Red ants and beef a winner"

Yes, actual red ants served with the beef. Lightly sweet and full of flavor. The curry chicken was also a winner. Excellent service, clean, open all day while others are closed between lunch and dinner.

Locavore: "Bouche amused"

Truly delicious, innovative, and in the number of surprise courses they keep bringing you, surprisingly good value.

Villa Song Saigon: "Old School Elegance"

"Wow - what a place. Right on the river. To catch a ride to the heart of District 1, there is no shuttle bus. There is a shuttle boat - a speed boat. You ride up the river, past all the barges and little tugboats - past all the major waterfront development as you approach the heat and noise of Ho Chi Minh City. Villa Song is located in an exclusive old part of the city, tucked away on its own - by the water. We had a room overlooking the river. It was amazing to look out and see a container barge floating by so close. The restaurant is world class in my opinion. The chef has some great ideas about ingredients and presentation. The pool is a bit small and cramped but who cares. This is Saigon, baby. The staff were friendly and professional. We had a late checkout - no problem. The experience overall was flawless. Highly recommended. "

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Excellent Thai fusion cuisine"

The food and service are both excellent!! The dishes come across as light and flavorful without over powering your tastebuds. Price is also not too bad although the portions are a bit small for a big eater like me

Tugu Malang: "My home away from home"

"I was born and raised in Malang, but reside overseas the last 17 years. Whenever I visited my family, this is my go to hotel, without a doubt. This year only, they'll see me 3x, which each visit I stayed minimum 7 nights. I've been a repeat guest since several years ago. Few of Hotel Tugu employees know me by my first name. I have my favorite room, #211 (corner room, spacious with Alun Alun view) and Tugu Hotel always accommodate me so I could stay in that room every time I made a request. I don't think I've ever received such attentive and personalized service anywhere else. All the staff treated me with respect, and I don't think I've received different treatments than any other guest, westerners, or not. For that I'm very grateful. Such a high quality service. Location is the best. Many of public transportation routes will pass this area. I could hop on and off easily to other parts of this town. Specially to satisfy my old cravings for local specialties. It's only 5-10 minutes ride to Lumpia Hoklay, Pecel Kawi, Rawon Nguling, etc. earlier this year, I experienced the multiple days of public transportation strike in front of the city hall, which is located next door to this hotel. However, staying in wasn't a problem for me. Staff when above and beyond to accommodate my requests, multiple time on different visits. I'm so looking forward to my next stay in few months. "

The Cabochon Hotel: "Chic Boutique"

Lovely eight room residence. Staff super helpful and friendly. Beautiful interior design. Easy access to Sky Train and the "cool" area of Thong Lo. Amazing shower. I would recommend a stay here. Roof top pool. Great fun and tonics in the evening with an excellent array of find to chose from.
