Samanea Beach Resort: "Perfect for a relaxing getaway"

"We stayed at Samanea for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The resort is spacious, with a large swimming pool and a private beach. The villas are quite big, with a private patio and an outdoor shower and bath, which I really liked. The restaurant was good, we had daily breakfast and a few times lunch and dinner during our stay. I would say that Samanea is ideally located for a relaxing getaway, it's not in the center of town, but privately located at the edge of Kep. Still within walking distance to the crab market and to the Kep National Park, or alternatively the hotel can call a tuk tuk for your convenience. We'll be back!"

Tugu Bali: "Most Unique Property in Bali"

"A very lovely boutique hotel, very authentic and luxurious, elaborately decorated property with lots of Balinese details in every corner. Excellent food, a very enchanting garden, attentive and caring staff who respect guests privacy. Service is impeccable and closest to perfect you will find. Pristine Canngu beachfront at the hotel is ideal for surfers and great sunset spot. If you are a traveller looking for a truly unique Bali experience, this is the place to have it. I would highly recommend Hotel Tugu without any hesitation or reservation."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Slice of Paradise"

"How I wished we had another night! This is a remarkable experience in the middle of the jungle. Don't be put off by the thought of a tent, this is luxury rather than camping. You can swim from your deck and borrow kayaks and fishing rods, or simply relax in the sunshine. We went on the sunset trip which was beautiful. The fireflies were an unexpected bonus. We also took the trip to Tatai Waterfall. That was great fun and we kayaked halfway back which was so peaceful. They provide lunch and towels. Just take sunscreen and a swimming costume or you could jump in like the locals fully clothed! On our second evening we drank cocktails on the main deck and watched the sun go down before dinner. The food is good- delicious homemade pineapple jam at breakfast. We also enjoyed the waffles which were more like American pancakes with fruit and ice cream. The portion was huge so one to share was plenty. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well. This is really a unique experience you don't want to miss. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Nimmu House: "Beautiful hotel with friendly staff"

"The best place I have stayed in India in 4 months! The hotel is situated about 40 minutes from Leh and represents the nature of the area very well, while accommodating tourists in pleasant comfort. This means that it is very stylish designed, both modern and authentic. Also the place is surrounded by local people and even cows. The rooms came with all comfort and you can see that the staff puts in some extra effort to make it super comfortable. Food cooked is very special and delicious. There is plenty to discover in the surrounding area."

Satri House: "A gem of Laos"

My wife picked this hotel. I was very impressed with this choice. It was unbelievably comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Since we stayed more than a week here, we changed room twice to get different feel. Money was well spent.

Inle Princess Resort: "An idyllic resort in a quiet spot"

"This is a beautiful resort located directly on Inle Lake. The “rooms” are actually separate thatch roofed bungalows. Some are on a private pond, and the others (slightly more expensive) are on the lake. We had one on the lake and the view was spectacular. Our bungalow had a large room for the beds, a separate room for the sinks and toilet, another separate room for the tub, and then a private outside area with a shower. It also had a private balcony overlooking the lake. There are resorts that are closer to the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda. The Inle Princess is about 45 minutes away by motor boat. But this can be seen as an advantage since guests of other resorts are not commuting past it. When we took the boat to visit the lake and the pagoda, we motored past several other resorts, making noise as we went. There were no boats racing past the Inle Princess. Being right on the lake, they have a boat dock, and the area of the lake right around the resort is a “no motor” zone which keeps it quiet. To take a boat out a local “leg rower” will get on the boat with you and row you out for about 7-10 minutes, at which point he gets off the boat and your pilot engages the engine for the rest of your trip. It was nice to enjoy the leg rowing experience and the peaceful quiet before starting up the engine, but it would have been nicer if the leg rower wore just native dress instead of the western style sweatshirt ours wore. We were there during the Inle Lake Festival in 2015, which is a great time to visit. In addition to the wonderful scenery and local culture, you can watch the procession of boats carrying the Buddha images from town to town. Meals are served in the dining room or on the large porch surrounding it overlooking the lake. Food was nice; not the best or worst we enjoyed while on this trip; but the view from the porch overlooking the lake made for a very nice experience. I rated the cleanliness a four out of five, but only because you are staying in a bungalow among the trees, and you can expect a few critters (both the flying kind and the crawling variety) in the room, and you probably will drag your own leaves and debris in as you wander in and out. They do provide bed tents. They offer a wheelchair to use at the resort and when you visit the villages of the lake, if you could benefit from one."

The Tiger’s Eye: "Better with every visit!"

"The Tigers Eye - it's been open now for a while, I wanted to hold off on my review as the first visit I made over a year ago was phenomenal but I wanted to be sure that the high standards would be kept. The chef here, Tim, has such a solid reputation for his creativity and constantly evolving menu which is one of the best elements of The Tigers Eye... you can never exhaust the menu as there is always something new to try! The service is great, other restaurants in town on this level can be very sterile and too formal for my taste but at The Tigers Eye they have created the perfect blend of professional & friendly, I'm a people watcher & have observed the staff operate, they have the experience to gauge a table and can tell the difference between a formal / business meeting & a more relaxed jovial meal... for me that part of The Tigers Eye experience is priceless! The decor is warm & welcoming & the layout gives the option for large groups to sit together. In a nutshell - if you're in Phnom Penh for a short time make sure to drop in, if you're here for a longer period - go and judge for yourself, I'm sure it'll become one of your 'go-to' places to dine!"

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Perfetto"

"Ho prenotato questa struttura un po' alla cieca ma mi è rimasta nel cuore. Sono rimasta colpita dalla struttura, sono rimasta colpita dal tatto e dalla gentilezza con cui lo staff ti accompagna in una realtà così diversa. La stanza è molto curata sia negli arredi sia per quanto riguarda la pulizia. Abbiamo alloggiato nelle tenda con piscina privata ed è stata un'esperienza unica poter sentire i rumori della natura all'interno di una tenda dotata di ogni confort. Ubud è vicinissima e il resort ha delle navette gratuite con cui raggiungere il centro. Il responsabile Kendu ci ha aiutato in ogni nostra richiesta e necessita..Impeccabile! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Heritage Suites Hotel: "A peaceful relax!"

"After spending one day visited temples of Angkor then back to hotel while offering a very special rate for me, I had an unforgettable stay with superlative decor and art designs inspired by Angkor style. I met the staff who are very warmth greeted and welcoming with a refresh drinks, i was enjoying with breakfast they served blending with master chef. Pool was huge and very refreshing moment with nice garden, the pool bar was also attracting. I would return back for the next visit to Angkor Wat."

Muang La Lodge: "A little peace of paradise in northern Laos"

It takes a bit of effort to get there, but its secludeness is also part of its charm. The staff of this beautiful resort with only ten rooms does everything to make your stay pleasant and memorable. There are no strict rules, except for enjoying yourself as much as possible. If you would like to stay in a tranquil, beautiful and comfortable resort and value quality over quantity, this is the place to be. Especially the five course dinner which combines the best of French and Asian cuisine is worth mentioning. If you prefer an easy getaway with all standard 5-star hotel facilities and an all-you-can-eat buffet, this is not the place for you.
