Mathis Retreat: "Peaceful and refreshing place"

Spent 3 nights there with my wife. Beautiful place, quiet, beautiful scenery, very good service. The terra cotta restaurant has a fantastic and huge breakfast. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. Easy to get to Ubud center by motorbike, takes 10 minutes.

Amata Lanna: "Excellent in every aspect"

Stayed here for 4 times, really had great time. The room was clean, adequate and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly, and informative on places to go. The location was great and easily accessible by all means.

Rachamankha: "Rachamanka Hotel Chiang Mai, what an oasis in a bustling city"

"We arrived at the Rachamanka Hotel after being in Bangkok for 3 days. What a little oasis this is with its little courtyards, beautiful bedrooms with wooden doors and relaxing pool area. This is a really tranquil place, not for young kids, as this is somewhere to relax by the pool, visit the massage area or library.The whole place is quality with antiques around the whole place. Breakfast is superb, with a great choice and all made to order, no buffet here! Lots of attentive and helpful staff. This place deserves the high certification it comes with. It simply has an air of calm and quality which must be appreciated. Do not expect to have too rush around in a hurry this is quality and tranquility, there are not many places like this around. Its a must stay in Chiang Mai and right by the attractions, but without any noise. Stunningly beautiful."

Supanniga Eating Room: "Wonderful food"

We went here on our last night in Bangkok and it was great. Highlight of the meal was the deep fried lotus root and mushroom, served with a sweet mango sauce.

The Island Lodge: "A piece of paradise along the Mekong river"

"This is the kind of place which seems to lift you to another plane of existence while you are there. The utter comfort, the calm, the wonderful food, the great service and unique surroundings come together to propel one to a new height. It is evident that the French couple -with Vietnamese roots -who run the place pay extreme attention to detail and quality in all aspects. With a limit at about 25 guests in all, the residence's spacious area facing the Mekong is suffused with a warm and personal atmosphere from an excellent staff. Time stands still and the soul bathes as much as the body does."

Yandabo Home: "wonderful facility"

Located along the river we were lucky only d.etre overnight. Serenities a bubble in the middle of nowhere. The bungalow is new, spacious beautifully decorated with a large bathroom. The staff is on hand to make this place unique. The restaurant is very good with traditional cuisine. Breakfast is served at the table and croissants come from afar to satisfy customers. Do not miss .

David’s Kitchen: "Great food prepared with love"

We ate at David's kitchen twice in a week. Discovering David's Kitchen was a wonderful treat! Lovely food and great service! Thank you David to you and your staff for a great culinary experience .

CABOCHON: "The Friendliest place in BKK"

"I do not have enough words for how much I liked this hotel. I was traveling alone with a 10 month old baby (something that can be a bit hard from time to time as you have noone to share the work with). At Cabochon we had a great shelter to return to from the busy streets. Even though I love the whole style of this hotel I still think that the team is what makes it really really special. They are genuine friendly and independent and cared so much for us. Everyone is child friendly. I was able to arrange babysitting with them to go to a spa one evening. On top of this they have a great restaurant attached to the hotel which I can highly recommend. Since everyone wanted to play with my son I was also able to enjoy a peaceful dinner on my own which was quite nice. Breakfast is a treat and you can choose from a selection of breakfast types. We enjoyed an asian breakfast and it was my favourite on this journey. Apart from this the hotel is just beautiful and has a calm and cool colonial flair in the middle of the hot and dirty city. We enjoyed our stay at Cabochon so much that I can not praise this hotel enough! "

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Indochine Cool"

Reminiscent of French colonial style, this hip little hotel delivers big time. Rooms are airy, beautiful and well appointed. The roof-top pool, long enough for laps, affords spectacular vistas of this booming city. Most of Bangkok's happening restaurants are nearby. (We tried Paste, Bo Lan, and Gaggan--all of them sensational). Rates include a delicious breakfast. The nearby skytrain eases travel around the city. Take a business card from the hotel desk just in case you need to take a cab back. The Cabochon is tiny and not necessarily well known.

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Excellent"

Muang La Lodge is one of a kind--I stayed only two nights, but wish I could have stayed two weeks. The staff are charming and attentive, and have a way of foreseeing your every need. The food is fantastic--particularly the five-course dinners--and the service is top-notch. Highly recommend taking a nice soak (or fifty) in the hot spring, and making the trek to see the local villages in the hills. The rooms are comfortable and wifi is available, but let's be honest: those emails from your horrible boss can wait, and you can binge watch Netflix when you're not in paradise. In short, one of the most positive and relaxing stays I've had in a long time. So treat yourself--we all know you deserve it.
