Review by: laukla | Source: Trip Advisor
"After two nights we've decided to extend our stay! It's a romantic place This place us right in the middle of the rice fields, impressive nature the only noise you get here is from the nature, green all around. We had a really good massage surrounded by nature The service is great and polite, their Terracotta Restaurant is one of the best of this area, we had an amazing dinner here. The management is very helpful, they gave us lot of advices."

Tugu Lombok: "SPECTACULAR!"

Review by: JSLB3 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Upon arrival at Hotel Tugu even though we had never stayed there or met we were treated like old special friends. From that moment on the customer service just kept getting better. We stayed with our 2 children aged 6 & 8 in an 2 room villa with 2 amazing outdoor bathrooms. Hotel staff arranged 3 separate tours - 1 to the Islands snorkelling and exploring, one horse drawn cart through the local streets and also a visit to local schools to experince some Lombok culture. Nothing was too much trouble. Despite only having 1 main restaurant, they offer an exceptional menu that offers different specials every evening. Also with an option to eat anywhere on the resort at anytime - beach, room, roof top, garden setting etc. The photo's do not do the hotel justice - the experience of being immersed in the local artwork, manicured gardens and pristine beach was phenomenal . Offering everything from paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling, beach table tennis and swings were all inclusive. The 2 pools were a perfect for swimming all day! It was quiet and allowed us the time to chill and unwind. The staff worked like a real team - knowing everything about us and being there when we needed without feeling like they were on top of you. Having a large selection of board games kept us all entertined and occupied when we were not participating in the many activities mentioned above. This was truly an amazing experience."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Unique hideaway"

Review by: Jenni N | Source: Trip Advisor
"During my stay in Gili Air I was unfortunate with the weather. It was probably the biggest rain I've witnessed on this lovely little island but arriving to Slow villas made it all disappear. Receptionist welcomed me with a smile that almost brought out the sun again. The manager escorted me to my villa holding an umbrella for me. Got to love that. Villa was exquisite from top to bottom. Beautifully finished little details gave me ""wow"" moments throughout the whole stay. You could order almost everything you wanted from the reception so the remote location and bad weather wasn't an issue. And the breakfast....fantastic!! Many different options to choose from and everything served in a way that just makes you want to have breakfast for lunch and dinner as well. A perfect getaway. My favorite piece of paradise."

Misool Eco Resort: "Perfect"

Review by: Mike M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Perfect! That's about says all there is say. The staff are wonderful especially Mark and Sue. They taught me to dive and looked after me for my entire stay. The diving is fantastic there is just so much to see everywhere you look. This is a real paradise relatively undiscovered. Yes it costs a lot and is difficult to get to but it is worth every penny. The accommodation is beautiful, the food is outstanding and plentiful. I will be returning."

Manda De Laos: "Lovely innovative cooking in special location"

Review by: Segaria226 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is something of a hidden gem tucked away in a side street away from most of the tourist area. The impressive building surrounds a beautiful lily pond and is a lovely place to eat lunch or dinner. Quite romantic. The food was superb. Lao cooking with a twist. I would especially recommend the succulent spare ribs and the do it yourself lapa or minced lamb salad starter which is really tasty and great fun to ""make"" yourself by the table. The bamboo fish was interesting although not my favourite. Cocktails and wine also great."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Not your usual hotel"

Review by: margaretfM8404FH | Source: Trip Advisor
"This historic building provides a totally different experience to that of modern hotels. The cool, calm quiet of the hotel provides a relaxed environment and the pleasant, helpful staff ensure your needs are met. Good location for old George Town and within walking distance of shopping centres, night food market next door."

The Village House: "Lovely place"

Review by: Kerry A | Source: Trip Advisor
"A wonderful experience which I can't get elsewhere in Kuching. Five stars services, clean and comfortable room, romantic ambience. This is a place where you can truly relax and have a peace of mind. We spent about half an hour looking for the place because there is no sign saying 'the village house' and the gate is closed. Once entered there is a small sign written 'secret inn' at which the place actually live up to its name. We were greeted by Flora and welcome drinks. A few rules have to be kept in mind for example no shoes in certain areas, have to order our dinner earlier and main gate is closed by 10pm. By the way, the dinner is very nice though its bit expensive (costs us rm76 for fish&chip, grilled chicken sandwiches and a dessert) There is free wifi but the signal is weak in our room. With no tv and wifi in the room, you can truly be close to the nature and your loved ones. Dont worry, there is an entertainment room full of books, board games and also an astro tv. "

Villa Song Saigon: "The best hotel in Saigon"

Review by: Nicola P | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our stay was wonderful, this is a truly beautiful hotel with great views of the river. The restaurant and food was terrific and most importantly the staff are extremely fantastic and also extremely helpful. In particular the managers were always great with helping out with referrals or last minute tours. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Manda De Laos: "Great food, beautiful location"

Review by: Natalie S | Source: Trip Advisor
The restaurant is set overlooking a lake filled with lotus flowers and lily pads,the majority of the restaurant is outdoors but covered. The food served is fresh and tasty, the menu serves seasonal, traditional Laos food with a modern twist along with other, mainly South East Asian dishes. Everything we ordered was execllent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Wonderful Experience – Hanok in Bukchon"

Review by: John W | Source: tripadvisor.com
This beautiful property tucked away in the Bukchon neighborhood of Seoul is an absolute gem! We had the opportunity to spend 3 amazing nites in the Rak Ko Jae, and during our stay we met Winnie, our fabulous and very accommodating host. She prepared amazing breakfastes and was so delightful to chat with. Loved our quaint sleeping quarters and the heated floors. Plus the supercool old school korean tub. So enjoyed just snooping around the amazing complex. I'm running out of superlatives to use! Also, check out the hot sauna, sweating until you cant keep your eyes open (in a good way!). We'll never forget our visit.
