Mathis Retreat: "Peaceful and refreshing place"

Spent 3 nights there with my wife. Beautiful place, quiet, beautiful scenery, very good service. The terra cotta restaurant has a fantastic and huge breakfast. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. Easy to get to Ubud center by motorbike, takes 10 minutes.

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful Place in Pai"

We heard about how wonderful Pai in rainy season. First, we have no idea about recommendation then coffee shop at Pai suggest us to visit here once. When we came in the staff very kind and sincerely. Room clean and beautiful. lovely view. The beakfast is the best.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Way above the standard expected in Yangon"

"Felix and Lucia Eppiser have many years experience in the restaurant industry coming from a Michelin star background in Switzerland, on to Le Planteur also in Yangon and then time in Malaysia until they have settled again in Yangon. Seeds is a relatively newcomer on the fine dining scene here and there are some great menu options, we chose ""Lotus"". From the time we arrived till we left we were treated like very valued guests. Serve was impeccable and we had a vast array of appetisers before we even started. We had a table on the terrace and if we have one criticism we thought the lighting level not quite adequate (we also ate outside at Le Planteur where the lighting was better) but otherwise it was faultless. Excellent tasting menu using mostly local ingredients, great presentation, textures and flavours. Both Felix and Lucia spoke to us several times and we liked their approach to staff training. There is also a nice wine list, obviously well chosen, and a bottle of nice Alsace Riesling was $43 which was pretty reasonable. At a touch over $200 all in for the two of us, plus a small cash tip, it is obviously top end for Yangon but not for the likes of Western diners. I hope Seeds goes from strength to strength and if we are ever in Yangon again we will return, I agree if ever Michelin get there it is star quality."

Satri House: "Colonial splendor a walking distance from the historical center"

Satri House is a charming colonial style hotel in Luang Prabang in a quiet area of the city. It is a walking distance from the historical center and if you wish some bicycles are as well free of charge at your disposal in the hotel. You can just ask for a lock at the reception. The hotel complex is highly elaborated with some charming rooms in the new part of the property in colonial like buildings that look just like they were conceived at the French colonial period. One older building was the official house of the Laos Crown Prince and you can stay there in three suites with antique furnitures. A pond with lotus flowers, many tress give to the place a very romantic touch. A restaurant with a talented Lao female Chef is at your disposal for delicious meals Lao or Western. Breakfast is served there at your convenience. The staff is particularly nice and friendly and will always do their best to assist you. Take time to have a talk with them as they love to practice foreign languages. The managing director is a young european guy who is very welcoming and will help you make your stay unique. Take time to wander around Luang Prabang and enjoy your time in the hotel itself (the place is great for romance ! Keep it in mind)

Locavore: "Wonderful Experience, but book ahead or be disappointed"

"Very popular, small, expensive but very very good. We went here for dinner. Thank goodness we had skipped lunch after reading the reviews. We ordered the 5 course Otak-Otak which eventually turned into about 12 dishes as there are delightful little pre/post dinner treats along the way. What a wonderful surprise. The staff are fabulous and explained each dish as each one has it's own quirkiness - a bit fusion east meets west . . . . very tasty. We enjoy the evening very much and after our three hour eating safari we were very full. Would highly recommend for a special dinner or lunch out in Ubud, but do book in advance. No shows and late late comers are fined accordingly."

The Governor’s House: "Possibly the best boutique hotel in Asia"

" I found GH by accident, but I'm so glad I did. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and wasn't sure what to expect. Fortunately I'd picked well, Yin Yin (mgr) had organised the things I wanted to do, including some of the best restaurants in town. She and her team made us feel so welcome and the service was five star, even from the tuk tuk driver Raymond. The hotel is small, but beautiful and the staff really make you feel at home. They even made my wife a birthday cake, which made her day even more perfect. I've stayed in Raffles, which I can't fault, but if you want all the style and personal service at a fraction of the cost, look no further than the Governors House..."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "beautifuly untouched island"

we spent 5 nights in this beautiful island. We had a great adventure including excellent meals, great snorkeling in Sourin, swimming, sun bathing, day trips in the island, kind and helpful service, meeting and fighting new creatures and more. this is a true pearl outside the "wrong path" of tourism.

Maduzi Hotel: "Good, Privacy, Clean Hotel, Friendly & Helpful Staffs"

"I was there fron 6 to 10 May 2016. We got 2 rooms for myself and my family. We were there for 4 nights. Both rooms have different layout. We were given upgraded rooms. My girls loves the rooms, bed and of cause the bath tub... especially after a long hot day.. From BTS Asok, you can walk along the shelter linkway or from MRT Sukhumvit exit 2, walk into Interchange 21 to 2 or 3 level up, walk along the same linkway into Exchange Tower and escalator down to the lobby. From Exchange Tower to hotel is just 1 to 2 minutes under the sun. Pros... - Gate closed 24 hours except for taxi to come in to pick the guests. - Rooms are big. - Beds are big and comfortable. - The staffs are friendly and helpful. - 1 welcome drink at bar each.. - Free flow of coffee and tea at the bar. - Coffee machine in each room, mini bar snacks and drinking water are free too. - If you need hot water, a small water kettle can be asked and send to the room. - Late check-out is FOC. Cons.. - The lifts are warm as mentioned by others. - Breakfast sets are fixed throughout our stay but very nice.. But when we had 4 sets each day and having the same for 4 days, by the 3rd morning, we were tired on the menu. If you are staying there for 1 or 2 nights, I recommend to take their breakfast but when you are staying longer, you may want to just take 2 days and the rest of the days, eat out. - Some TV programmes / channels in one of the rooms are not clear. As this hotel has privacy, is small and cozy.. I will recommend couples and families to stay.. I will stay there again when I am back in Bangkok."

Supanniga Eating Room: "Most delicious crab"

Loved it! Tried three types of crab, my favourite was definitely the one in red curry sauce. Super friendly staff and a few new dishes I haven't seen at other Thai restaurants. Went back once more since I was dreaming of the crab...haha.

Tugu Bali: "Comfort in Canggu"

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Tugu for our Balimoon in early June. This hotel is like a time capsule in Bali. The attention to detail in balancing old and new was perfectly crafted. The hotel manager greeted us at reception which was a great way of welcoming us as guests of the hotel. The hotel grounds are meticulously maintained. My wife and I opted for the Rejang Suite which has a sunken tub and a partial view to the beach. The timber interior of the suite with the sunken bathtub and daybed felt true to the charm of the Javanese house. The wood framed windows open to a clean ocean breeze. Because we arrived on Thursday, we were able to view the cultural dance performance with our dinner. Again, the attention to detail was not overlooked in this show. The costumes were amazing and actors were great. The hotel also includes a museum displaying objects of its past and Bali. This was a huge value add as you rarely see such items on your normal Bali itinerary. The hotel also includes a private beach deck which is great for having a few Bintangs while watching the sunset. The hotel staff is extremely courteous and friendly. Highly recommend Tugu to anyone in search for true Balinese hospitality and comfort.
