4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Floating luxury"
"This highly unusual hotel consists of 12 luxury tents, actually floating on the river and surrounded by nature The tents are very spacious. Many of their ""walls"" can be rolled up to provide panoramic top-to-floor ""windows"" consisting of mosquito-proof netting if you prefer a view to privacy. Each tent has a private veranda with loungers and direct access to the river. There is a nice sitting area, several fans that can be adjusted to your own comfort, a DVD player (and a choice of DVDs from the reception) and rain coats (which unfortunately we needed). The bathroom has a barrel shower, which we thought was fun. Breakfast is served à la carte and staff was extremely flexible to adapt to special wishes and changes. For dinner, there was a choice of set meals, but equally a large à la carte menu. The lodge offers a variety of excursions against payment (boat trip to the waterfall, canoeing in the mangroves and visiting a local school, hikes in the rainforest, sunset cruise) as well as a short free boat trip to see the fireflies after dusk. We were unlucky with the weather, as it was raining all afternoons and thus we were not able to do the canoeing or the sunset cruise. We experienced great hospitality and particularly appreciated that management was permanently around, actively engaging with the guests and supporting all staff. There is no wifi apart from an emergency access via the phone of the manager. We stayed for 4 nights."Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "an amazing – breathtaking views with tranquility!"

Grab a book - sit of the ledge and let time just pass - no need to stay here for a week - a day or 2 and you'll be ready for the next part of your trip!Tandjung Sari: "Beautiful hotel with unique charm"
I stayed at the Tangdjung Sari with my husband for three nights – The first three days of our three week stay in Bali and the Gili Islands. We loved the tranquility and charm of the hotel. We instantly noticed that this hotel has a special history. We stayed in villa no 2. The design and all the special details came as a nice surprise to us. We loved our stay.Maison Polanka: "GREAT AMBIENCE, TASTY FOOD!"
Visited Maison Polanka a day after my birthday and I had nothing but a super pleasant experience. Surrounded by beautiful greenery and a nice, calming atmosphere, it helped me relax for a bit and forget city life. Tried their Beef Samosas and their expertly brewed coffee... Will I ever come again? DEFINITELY.Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Sublime😍😍😍"
"Après 3jours de trek entre Kalaw et Inle le luxe d'un endroit comme celui ci mérite tous les sacrifices ...! Je n'avais pas le budget pour un hôtel comme celui ci mais je savais que l'emplacement avais un prix et ça les vaut puisque cette reconstruction de maison intha sur pilotis et juste sublime !!! Loin de tous les touristes !!! J'adore L'équipe et au petit soin pour vous de quoi vous faire passé un moment inoubliable ,j'en ai pleuré en partant ...! De la literie en passant par le Resto ,la boutique , la réintroduction des burmise cat et surtout le concept d'une vrai action pour le changement dans le bon sens avec ses étudiant en hôtellerie et leur mobilisation pour une nature intacte ...! RIEN A redire !!!! Juste PARFAIT Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Tugu Malang: "Excellent Place to Stay"
"Hotel Tugu Malang is a place to stay for those who love art and history combined with pleasure. While the service is way beyond average, one will also find that the food served in the restaurant and the snacks sold in the small shop house behind the hotel are able to entertain the taste buds. The artistic decoration of the hotel can also entertain the eyes. Absolutely nothing to complain, but....since there is nothing perfect in this world, I would suggest that each staff is provided with the same level of knowledge and way to explain the history of the hotel, the owner, the rooms and the antique goods so that all guests will get the same knowledge"Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "The Rocks CNY"
This is our 3rd stay at the Sea Dance , which speaks volumes. The staff at Sea Dance are so welcoming the food is sensational ( must do Sunday brunch ) Truly a wonderful place to stay even better with the addition of a Spa We plan to go back very soonSukoon Houseboat: "Wonderful relaxing experience"
The Sukoon houseboat is a super luxurious and comfortable houseboat. We had a wonderful time. The staf is super, very helpful and were really taking super good care of us. The breakfast on the sundeck was an absolute highlight. This houseboat is a bit away from the overcrowded part of the lake so you can really enjoy the beatiful view on the lake at sunset and sunrise!Tugu Bali: "Best ever!!!"
"A true oasis in Bali!!! This hotel is amazing!!! Staff was fabulous!!!! They could not have been more accommodating Grounds are beautiful! We stayed here at the end of a long trip. It was truly an amazing end to our trip before the long trek home. "Tugu Bali: "excellent boutique hotel"
"This hotel is exceptional; excellent service, very responsive staff. I informed the staff about my plans of the day; and they accommodated us and even anticipated our needs; the staff is very responsive. Breakfast is excellent, pool is nice and private. The common grounds are exotic All rooms with ocean view ( second floor) have a spiral staircase to enter. The patio ( balcony?) is large, but no A/C( thus a little warm in March) you are asked to close the windows in order to avoid the wildlife. Lovely garden, lotus pond; very very nice experience. My only caveat is that this great hotel is now surrounded by a recent development of bars catering to the young surfers. The music can be a little loud until the wee hours ( 3-4 AM). Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"
