Chakrabongse Villas: "Stay in a prince’s palace"

This was built in the 19th century by a Thai prince. It's on a busy street and right next to the river. Once you get behind the gates, it's your own private palace. Pool, garden, decks overlooking the river. I think there are only about 9 rooms. It's pricey, but worth it. Our dinner was about a 7-course meal (prix-fixe), each one a delicacy. Took off my shoes at the gate and wandered around the rooms and gardens for all three days we were there.

Tugu Malang: "Unique hotel, you will have an amazing experience here"

"I'm a travel agent and made a trip to Singapore, Java and Bali. On our trip through Java we stayed 2 nights at Tugu Malang. On our first night we did the tour ""romantic breakfast at Bromo"", this tour was perfectly arranged by Tugu Malang. Sunset at Bromo, savannah and the crater of Bromo is a must see and certainly if Tugu Malang arranged it, you will end this perfect tour with a delicious breakfast with a view you will never forget. It is a unique experience that only Tugu Malang can arrange for you. The hotel was my absolute favorite during my trip. It is a beautiful hotel, the service is amazing and the rooms are super comfortable and clean. And do not even let me begin about the food, everything is on point at Tugu Malang and a must to stay at when you visit Java."

Mekong Villas: "Lazing by the Mekong"

I only stayed 1 night this time around but I really wanted to go back as I was in the area again. Once you enter the gate, you are in a secluded area, although the main road is just behind. The peacefulness that emanates from the grounds forces you to switch off. Not much to do at the property but that's the whole point: listen to nature around you, watch the life on the Mekong and just relax!!

The Village House: "LOVE IT!"

Very romantic and relaxing place. I love the ambience of that place. Staff was very friendly. The place is very isolated and hard to find in the first place. But overall everything was fine and i would love to visit again in the future :)

Cuca: "Great food"

We visited Cuca in Jimbaran, after an event at Polperro winery (Red Hill), hosted by the head chef from Cuca. The food at Polperro was amazing and I was really excited to see the restaurant for the first time. I was not disappointed, the textures, presentation and flavours are fantastic and the staff are warm and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed, it's dimly lit and moody, but if you have a preference for more light, you can always sit at the bar over the kitchen and watch the precision of the team. The outside seating area is in a garden, complete with water features and lanterns. The grounds are generous. Price wise it's not over the top, I loved everything this place, so much so, I have booked again for tomorrow night!!

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful Location for a get-away"

We came to Pai on a recommendation from a friend. When we got to town, we were nervous that we had made a bad travel decision. However, as soon as we stepped out of the car at the Reverie Siam, we knew we were going to be okay. The grounds were BEAUTIFUL!! It was so nice to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the open air dining area. Lounging by the pool while taking in the gorgeous scenery was heavenly. Our room was charming and so comfortable. Definitely a wonderful stay and worth the almost 800 turns to the city of Pai!!

Rahai’i Pangun: "A very enjoyable relaxing journey"

"My first visit in Indonesian part of Borneo – Palangkaraya; A very enjoyable relaxing journey there and a very courteous river cruise with great food. Putu, I want to thank for the awesome time that we had with you and your crew – My wife and I still talking about all of our discussion. Orangutan, proboscis monkey, environment challenges, community development….and all about “Jungle Stories”! Thank you again for a wonderful weekend in Rugan River. We have been raving about it ever since! Visited March 2017"

Satri House: "Authentic Experience"

"Satri House delivers on its promise of being ""a historic destination, a unique design"". The original house was run as a hotel since 2002 and was extended in 2008 reflecting the original architecture. We stayed over Songkran for 4 nights and were warmly welcomed by Jacques Mury (General Manager) and Navinda Imbubpa (Guest Experience Manager). On arrival to the room, we were impressed by the handwritten welcome note from Jacques. Whilst it is true that the hotel is located close to a fairground (the source of techno music correctly referred to in the previous review), we understand that Luang Prabang is always tranquil and that the volume we experienced was limited to this New Year festival only. We reflected on the importance of a pre-visit study. Notwithstanding this, Satri House is an amazing hotel. The renovation mirrors the original house perfectly. The Satri House team is attentive and caring. Key takeaways: # the staff is incredibly warm and greet you with sincerity # the housekeeping and gardener teams are amazing # the breakfast is plentiful. We recommend the freshly made noodle soup # the restaurant is terrific. We ate in many restaurants during our visit and will review them separately. We found the quality of the food at the Satri House restaurant to be equal to our better dining experiences # we love the two pools. Whilst we agree that the main pool could do with more lounges, we note that there are additional lounges at the second pool # the hotel is not located in the centre of the (small) city of Luang Prabang. It is in fact a 15-20 min walk to the city centre. The hotel does provide complimentary lockable bicycles with baskets that will get you there in 5-8 minutes One suggestion is to resolve the positioning of the Google Maps location pin. I am confident that when return to Satri House outside of the New Year festival, we will rate our experience as excellent."

David’s Kitchen: "Perfect dinner in Chiangmai"

The food was amazing! I️ had the duck and it was cooked perfectly. David was so friendly and he even recommended some restaurants to us in Phuket. This is a first class restaurant!

Maison Polanka: "A pleasure to stay there"

This is a wonderful hotel with only 5 rooms set in a beautiful garden in a secluded road in Siem Reap. We were there for three nights and were treated superbly by all the staff. Nothing was too much for them. If we wanted breakfast in our room at 06:30 because we were being picked up at 07:00, as was the case on two mornings, it was there. When we used the swimming pool one afternoon we were provided with tea and snacks. I can honestly say we were treated wonderfully well everywhere we stayed on our tour of Vietnam and Cambodia but Maison Polanka was a cut above. The food was very good and our room was beautifully kept. We can honestly recommend Maison Polanka to anyone who is looking to stay in Siem Reap and wants a unique experience.
