Muang La Lodge: "Da non perdere"
If you go in northern Laos you should definitely stop at the lodge. Rooms comfortable and spotless hospitality and impeccable service. Lovely pool ... turkish bath massage and two beautiful pools of thermal water from which to admire the view while sipping a delicious cocktail. Breakfast and dinner excellent. Delicious also picnic during a hike.Rahai’i Pangun: "Great crew"
"This was my first time traveling alone, and I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived for this portion. But I absolutely loved it. The crew was great, the guide Tri was fantastic, and the trip itself was so relaxing and interesting. We saw many orangutans in the forest (including a baby!), visited Dayak villages, and had delicious meals three times a day- and that's coming from someone who considers herself a picky eater. I absolutely recommend this tour group (and especially the boat and staff I had). I'd also suggest you go while you can- you could see gold prospecting in quite a few spots. In order for them to get at the gold, they need to burn the forest down. It also leaves large mounds of white sand along the river. It's very sad, but perhaps with an up-tick in tourism, there will be a greater push for putting a stop to this? I'd like to add while it was disturbing to see, it did not make the trip less enjoyable. Rather, it just makes me want to get more involved."MesaStila: "Head Over Heels In Love with This Place"
"I just fell head over heels in love with this place. It's a hidden gem. Totally underrated. Breathtaking views of the mountains and sunset, personalized service and true Javanese hospitality. We got a villa with a mountain view and it was worth paying a bit more for it. We enjoyed the tour of the property's coffee plantation and the spa. My eight-year-old son enjoyed horse riding through the village surrounding the resort. I also went trail running with by their awesome fitness manager. It's one of my most memorable experiences going up and down slopes through the property's coffee plantation, on jungle trails, past beautiful paddy terraces as the local villagers greeted us. Would I go back? It's a definite yes."Villa Song Saigon: "Loved it"
"We stayed for two nights, it is a peaceful location and the rooms nicely appointed, the bed was supportive which made for a restful night. The breakfasts were from a menu I had the pho which was very tasty. The evening meals are more western than Vietnamese and beautifully presented and tasty. Being picky, I'd prefer a greater focus on Vietnamese flavours A lovely hotel out of the chaos associated with the central city. The regular boat into city was convenient and when you returned from the city the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel is reinforced."Neeleshwar Hermitage: "This is the hotel I am always looking for"
I had a very warm welcome in the resort my room is beautiful I would better say this is a villa in a lovely magnificent garden near the huge wonderful pool overlooking the ocean dot The room is very spacious with a huge bed sitting area working table and lovely attached bathroom outside with a great bathtub and shower with all the great amenities you can imagine. The room Setup is magnificent with the beautiful flower decoration. I really love this please just highly can recommend it.tugu lombok: "One of best hotels in lombok"
"It's nice to see all top 3 hotels in lombok are actually within 10 m drive from each other . All situated on sire beach or beautiful Medana . The tugu is great ! Sharon the new GM is nice and always around . Staff is great here . Grounds amazing and large "Villa Song Saigon: "Boutique hotel offered a change to district 1"
We came to vietnam & had 4 days in ho chi Minh then travelled to nha trang for a week by beach then back to ho chi Minh for 2 days before flying home. We stayed in district 1 for first 4 days & that was helpful as all the sites were in walking distance & with the heat it meant you didn't need to be out all day you could pace yourself. When we choose villa song we wanted to see another district and we got that it's in district 2 more upmarket & residential. The hotel run an hourly complementary shuttle by speed boat to district 1 which is fun & useful. The hotel Breakfast is nice and u can have it all day which is a bonus I recommend the French toast! The staff here are super friendly & helpful from restaurant to reception. They couldn't offer a late check out but offered a place for us to freshen up before going to airport which was appreciated. The last shuttle returns to hotel at about 7pm so a cab in the evening will cost you around 250,000 dong. The hotels rooms are all different but there are only about 20 so you definitely get a more personal service here.The Island Lodge: "Little Paradise in My Tho (Mekong Delta)"
"I love this place at the first step I walked in. Every details are extremely taken care and bring you the feeling like you're at home. Very quite, very peaceful. Food is good (especially the bread). Staff are great. Pool is superb. Everything makes my stay perfect. Thank you so much, Michel, you made everything even more wonderful. Will back again."SUKOON HOUSEBOAT: "Sukoon means peace on heaven of 🌍"
Kashmir’s beauty can leave you gasping for air, yet amidst such splendor, exists one tiny, wondrous place to stay. Of all things, a houseboat on the Dal Lake would be the most idle place to take in Kashmir’s beauty, with the looming snowcapped peaks -far away yet so near and the lotuses floating at arm’s length on the Dal.The Cabochon Hotel: "Cute and quiet hideaway in Bangkok"
Super friendly and helpful staff, a gorgeous old style building creaking with history in a peaceful soi just off sukhumvit, the Cabochon gives you all you need for a stay in this hectic city. From its handy location near to the BTS to its deserted rooftop pool this hotel delivers. Breakfast is good (although personally I always like to see some Bircher muesli on offer!). We slept wonderfully here, it's quiet and the beds are comfortable.
