Maison Polanka: "Make the Most of Cambodia"

Review by: Hugtheplanet | Source: Trip Advisor
Fantastic accommodations in the heart of Seam Reap. Quaint, quite boutique hotel that catered to our every need including creating an itinerary to maximize our 3 days exploring the city. In addition to fantastic food, they have a wonderful, helpful staff that coordinated tour guides and set up a special tour of the Diamond Silk weaving farm. A must! The pool was the perfect refresher after hot temple tours!

Mathis Retreat: "Big nice room and pool by rice fields"

Review by: Tat_Tatchai | Source: Trip Advisor
Very nice boutique hotel in Ubud. The room is very nice, clean, and the bed very comfortable. The swimming pool by the rice field is a superb way to chill in the afternoon. Free shuttle to Ubud center is a plus:)

Hotel Tugu Bali: "hidden gem in plain sight"

Review by: Freya L | Source: Trip Advisor
"i am a vintage girl when it come to property, and i already known tugu as one of the heritage hotels in Indonesia. Never visit the other site tho, but the brand is all about antique and vintage Javanese set up in my mind. And the one in Bali for sure was stunning set up. With all old Javanese furniture in lashes green surrounding. As now, the area is becoming upscale and trendy and hip area, Tugu hotel is seriously get away from modern and chic neighborhood in just steps away. If you like vintage hotel, this is THE one."

The Village House: "A little bit of Borneo"

Review by: A_and_Bbrighton | Source: Trip Advisor
"We visited for 2 nights from Kuala Lumpur to see a little of Borneo. The booking process was really smooth, and we had lots of advice on which trip to book. We arrived late on a Friday and the taxi the hotel had arranged was waiting for us to whisk us to the hotel. About an hours drive. We booked the suite which is a large room, decorated in a local style but all the mod cons, so to speak. Comfortable large bed with a large screen TV at the base. Good coffee machine, and large bathroom. Everything we could need. Saturday morning we went to Bako National park with a guide arranged by the hotel – we had a great day, he knew where to find all the local species of monkey! Saturday evening we had the 8 course tasting meal, which was delicious and not too much, although we had been walking all day! The beach at the end of the road is worth a stroll along, it is beautiful. As others have said, not somewhere you’d stop to sunbathe. The staff were charming, the bar was a great place to grab a drink before and after dinner. It is a quiet hotel, but it’s perfect for a short break."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Surpasses all expectations"

Review by: leeds29 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at the Glenburn after a week travelling around Sikkim and it was the perfect end to the trip. We received a warm welcome on arrival from Faye and Will the management team and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. We were offered refreshments throughout the day (fantastic teas) and found everyone very friendly. The rooms are lovely, each bedroom is different and in a colonial style and the food was excellent with a different theme each evening which we loved. Our stay was relaxing - we enjoyed the walk down to the river where we had lunch, exploring the tea plantation and reading on the veranda admiring the views. Just what we were looking for in a tea plantation. Thanks to Faye and Will and their team for making our visit so memorable It was a few days of luxury that I would highly recommend."

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Amazing"

Review by: CLPUk | Source: Trip Advisor
This is the quite likely the best place I have ever stayed. The service and attention to detail was exceptional. This was our first time in Laos with friends and we felt we really got to see and do so much in the area on a four night stay. Any less than four nights would not give you enough time to appreciate the lodge. The visits to the local villages were fascinating. The food at Muang La was brilliant and even though it was much cooler mornings and evenings, fire pits were brought to our table so we were warm. A truly beautiful place and wonderful staff.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Amazing"

Review by: HoneymoonBali2016 | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent an amazing honeymoon designed by Gilita (the travel agency of the owner of Slow private pool villas) and it was perfect! We spent 6 nights at Slow and we didn t want to leave. Breakfast is delicious, the new spa for the massages and Pilates courses is top! The villas are perfectly clean, very calm and beautiful. Thanks a lot at the staff for the lovely stay at Slow...

Flower Island: "Little island of paradise"

Review by: Noemie_Noisette_29 | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed three nights in Flower Island in March 2015. We really enjoyed, the staff was very friendly and committed to make your stay like a being in paradise. The snorkeling experience was amazing, best we had in Palawan! Just few meters from our room, with all equipments available for free at the hotel! Nice breakfast with fresh mango every day! Dinner food could have been better, but ok!

Tugu Bali: "Awesome place with shakey wifi"

Review by: Slowride50 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had a great time here in may. The location is great for people lookibg for either surf, staying in hipster canggu or golf (close to the nirwana golf course). The hotel has an awesome location right on the beach. Before the beach there is a beautiful lawn where you can relax and watch the sea or have something to eat. The beach is good for beginner surfing as well as more intermediate. Not ideal for swimming because of the waves. But great for diving into the waves. The hotel itself has great balinese character. All the common areas but also the rooms. You are really in Bali. The food is awesome and the great thing is you can eat it on the lawn watching the sunset. The rooms are big with some sort of outside area where there is also big bath. Only drawbacks are the quality of the internet, it didn't really affect my stay as I was there only for a couple or nights, and the airconditiong. The airconditiong are basically two remotes for two aircos, where you have to mix and match to get the right temperature in the room. So kt's not climate control where you set to a temperature and it's done. But those things are outweighed easily by all the other things mentioned. Would come back anytime! "

The Island Lodge: "Serenity"

Review by: C V | Source: Trip Advisor
"Recently went here a second time and it pure bliss. The resort is stunning, beautifully designed accompanied by good service and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. We live in Saigon and we usually travel outside the country when we have any spare time but we make time to come to Island Lodge because it's that's great. We're actually going for our third visit in less than a week. Can't wait. "
