Maduzi Hotel: "One of the best and even better than some 5 star hotel"

"I was really impressed with Maduzi hotel and it has well surpassed my expectation. The hotel is cozy, staffs are friendly and helpful and make me feels comfortable like home. I have decided to choose this hotel because we could customise the early check in and check out time which I highly appreciate as I had early flight to Bangkok and late flight home. I checked into the hotel at 8am and get to checked out at 7pm. The hotel is in walking distant to Terminal 21 and Asoke station which is very convenient for travelling around Bangkok. Beside the hotel is 7-11 and you can get almost anything you need. Their staffs are very friendly and genuinely nice and they are always there when you need help from them. I checked in on the 14 of Oct, and was greeted warmly by all the staffs. The guy that helped us for the check in carried our luggage and placed it in the walk in wardrobe while pointing out the coffee machine and explaining to us how to use the Jacuzzi bathtub etc. He also explained to us in detailed on how to go about Bangkok which is really helpful. The room is clean and the bed is super large and comfortable. I have never seen such a huge bed in a boutique hotel before! The Jacuzzi bathtub is fantastic and is large enough for 2 person. Breakfast was delicious and has beautiful plating. I have had such wonderful experience at Maduzi and would definitely recommend anyone to stay here when in Bangkok. This hotel deserve a 5 stars rating and I would definitely choose this hotel again if I ever visit Bangkok in the future. Cheers Maduzi Hotel!"

Heritage Suites Hotel: "Incredible genuineness, a real gem!"

The Heritage came up in almost list of top boutique hotels to stay at in Cambodia, so I knew it would be a good choice. Getting picked up at the airport in a vintage Mercedes was amazing, such a great way to start off the experience. Having the adventure company in the hotel helped a lot, they organised 3 customised tours for me which were all equally amazing. All three were well worth it. I stayed in the Orchid suite, which I could of hid in during my entire stay and would of been really happy, the steam room was a pleasant surprise. Had breakfast and two dinners at the hotel which was also very good. The thing that left such an impression on me was the staff. There was this incredible genuineness to everyone I met. The hotel supports Sala Baï, a hospitality school for young underprivileged Cambodians, which they also helped organise a visit to. Heritage helps train and hire students from the school and offers them placement at the hotel, with everyone I met there, especially the students coming from Sala Bai, there was this genuine pride in working in hospitality and at the Heritage. As a guest you felt not only very welcomed, but that you also contributed to giving back to the community and not just taking from it. Kudos to the entire team at Heritage. I work in travel and hospitality and can honestly say this is one of the most unique and best offerings I’ve come across. I can’t wait to visit again.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A Little Piece of Heaven"

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at 4 Rivers Floating Lodge. I wish we could have stayed another several days. The lodge is on a warm river which is delightful for swimming. The tent rooms are spacious, each with it's own private bath, complete with double sinks. The beds are comfortable. It is very quiet and the sunsets and night skies are awesome to see. Anna, the manager/owner is a wonderfully warm person, she learned our names immediately and checked in on us often to see if we needed anything. There are a number of day trips that one can do, we did the "Lost in the Mangroves" and the "Fireflies" excursions. We thoroughly enjoyed both. The staff are very friendly and do a great job. This is "glamping" at it's best! We especially appreciated the fact that the Lodge is doing a ton to support the local community (employment, sustainable tourism, educating the youth about the importance of nature, helping to build a new school building, recycling plastics and numerous other projects). We'd go back in a heartbeat! Thank you 4 Rivers Floating Lodge for a wonderful time...

David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful birthday meal – amazing atmosphere and phenomenal food"

We had such a great evening at David's Kitchen last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They had decorated the table and left a card for me as we were celebrating my birthday. David, himself came and had a lovely chat with us, sharing a few of his stories. We noticed he made the effort to go around to most of the tables, making sure everyone was having a good evening! He gave us dinner and wine recommendations for our meal which we followed, and were not disappointed. My boyfriend had the pumpkin soup and the beef cheek. I had the spicy fish salad and the chicken breast with mushroom sauce. Both were delicious. I asked for extra sauce with my chicken, and the lovely waitress brought me out some and then brought me an extra helping without me asking for it, as she didn't want me to run out. They sang happy birthday whilst one of the gents played guitar and they gave me a little bunch of roses, which although slightly embarrassing was a really nice gesture. They went above and beyond to make us feel really special and we enjoyed every minute. It is a definitely one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Thailand and as such is more expensive than usual Thailand prices, but we are used to London prices and had we had this same meal back home we would have likely paid 4x the price and wouldn't have minded doing so. Thank you to the whole team it was a fantastic night that we won't forget in a hurry.

The Island Lodge: "Nice oasis to relax on the Mekong"

"Great choice for a quiet week-end in the Mekong delta, a mere 2-hour drive from HCMC. Transfer organised by hotel with excellent driver and comfortable car. Well-trained staff, good service and nice restaurant. Thank ctlinh"

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Wonderful"

This is a fantastic experience. Noel and the team have covered all the bases which makes for a wonderful and genuine safari reminiscent of the original African model. The camp is well equipped with tents spaced to afford privacy, offering large beds and private bathrooms. The food was just excellent throughout our stay. We saw a variety of wildlife including leopards and were grateful to Noël for sharing his photos after a camera malfunction. From my original contact with Sophie everything flowed seamlessly and made for a great stay.

Chakrabongse Villas: "A small green exotic oasis of calm, beauty and exclusivity"

"Chakrabongse Villas is very different to your everyday boutique hotel. I have been a guest at Chakrabongse for 12 years on at least 40 occasions. Here your privacy is respected and preserved and you do not have to deal with the typical petty tourists that you find in all the large hotels. You will hardly ever see another guest since they all have their own villa and outside area. Strangers are not permitted to enter the grounds and wander around. The staff are invisible until you need or want them. The outside world of hustle and bustle stops at the gate and you enter a small green exotic oasis of calm, beauty and exclusivity. Room Tip: Every villa is beautifully themed and decorated with art and antiques."

The Island Lodge: "Peak into the Mekong Delta While Sitting in Luxury"

This is a special place, sitting in the middle of the river at the end of an island. It is right in the middle of endless groves of Longan and other fruit trees. The breeze from the river keeps you naturally cool as you enjoy some of the freshly baked goods and/or fresh Vietnamese food. Everything about this place was excellent: rooms, facilities, service, food. Just a couple hours from Saigon, this is a great getaway from the city. Plan to go back often.

Villa Song Saigon: "French colonial Boutique Hotel"

"Wonderful view over The Saigon River, quiet & away from the Ho Chi Min bustle, 15 minutes away from the town centre in the complementary hotel shuttle boat available both way until 7pm. the rooms are very elegant, depending on choice & wallet, The service is amazing. the Restaurant serve French fusion, very good but a bit dear. This is a very classy place we loved it. "
