Satri House: "Warm and welcoming staff"

Initially a little complicated to understand the various buildings in this lovely garden, but everything was so conveniently located in this beautiful property and lovely garden. It felt very much like a large family house and the staff were gentle, welcoming and very very accommodating. We were lulled into the Loatian mellow style in comfort and beauty.

MesaStila: "Tranquility"

"Tranquil and relaxing this retreat has everything you need for a break from the ordinary. My husband and I just returned from a four fabulous nights at MesaStila, its low season so not very many other guests but all the facilities were available and we were kindly upgraded to an Arum Villa. A large breakfast each morning filled us till tea time, both of which are included in the room price. Dinners were a very good selection of both asian and western foods but i'd highly recommend sticking with the Javanese dishes that the chef, Arya Kusumaatmaja, prepares so excellently. each day has an assortment of activities that are included such as , yoga, coffee plantation tour, martial arts, etc. and there are many optional tours you can book. The staff were all very friendly and professional, the village tour we took with one of the staff( I'm sorry I don't have his name to hand) was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and brought us to several small cottage industries that are well 'off the beaten track'. I've already recommended this place to my expat friends who travel extensively throughout asia and I look forward to going back again someday "

Muang La Resort: "A little paradise in Laos"

"Staying at the Muang La Resort is a pleasure, from the moment you arrive till the moment you leave. The bungalows are well kept, clean and beautifully decorated. Little details like welcoming letters, weather information and slippers make you feel a welcome guest. Dinner is a surprise and never disappointing! Lao haute cuisine!! But what really makes the difference is the staff of the resort and I mean the whole staff! From gardeners to managers, everybody is attentive, helpfull and kind. If you plan a trip to the north of Laos, this is definitely a hotel to include in your plans."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fantastic views"

Very attractive lodge with a wonderful view of the mountains weather permitting. Arrived here after a 4 day trek and it was heaven to enjoy a hot shower, delicious meal and very comfortable room. Very attentive staff providing a great welcome and stay.

Satri House: "Unique hotel with lovely staff"

The Satri House is an unusual French colonial style property with lots of beautiful art pieces. The one downside is no TV if you require it. However there is a lovely sitting room with books. The breakfasts are beautifully made to order with homemade jams. The staff couldn't be more helpful. There are 2 pools and lovely beautifully tended grounds.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Perfect"

Very relaxing to be there, everything is perfect & now with the new spa you can treat yourself with worderful massages & facial/hair/body treatments...before or after the yoga class, the ride along the island or the swim in the sea or in your private pool...just luxury (-:

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "A total pleasure"

"My wife and I are delighted to add another 5 star review. Apart from the ever friendly staff what makes Inle Heritage so special is their attention to detail. The quality of all the furnishings and fittings, the roses on the pillows at bed time and bathroom facilities. As noted elsewhere the hotel is a non profit organisation, only 6 guest villas and run for the benefit of staff training. An excellent kitchen supplied from their own vegetable gardens. Service was very efficient and a pleasure to drink the local wines.at a reasonable price - imported wines being so expensive in the country. Our two day trips to Kakku and Sankar gave a further opportunity to see more of the lake environment and Buddhist culture. The highlight of our 2 week stay in Myanmar"

The Village House: "Rustic with a touch of luxury"

"Definitely a place to consider when travelling to Kuching. It's 40minutes away from town so do consider renting a car to get about. The staff were friendly and helpful. They even went out of their way to drop us off at the foothills of santubong mountain which is 5minutes away. There's no 24hr concierge but if you inform them on time they will stay up to greet you and even prepare meals if you pre-order. Accommodation is clean. Nice rooms and bathrooms and clean sheets and towels. Breakfast isn't fantastic but there's a variety to fill you up. The others meals at the restaurant were really good."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A haven to rest up and be awestruck by the sunrise"

This is a great place to stay if you dontvwant to be in Lakeside. It's takes a while to get up there but when you do it's a haven of tranquility. The grounds are beautifully kept and the rooms eco friendly. You can be woken up in time to watch the sunrise over the Annapurna range which we did 3 days running with the view improving each time. Awesome place to have breakfast! I was suffering with a damaged back. Marcus, Jhalek and the team looked after us with a nice blend of low key care and concern and practical advice. The food is a clever blend of local and international . They have a good hotline to the local clinic. The longer you stay the more the place gets into your bones. I'm so glad I spent an entire day doing nothing just relaxing the only time on the trip. We would recommend Tiger Mountain to all our friends.

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "The Rocks CNY"
