Satri House: "A gem of Laos"
My wife picked this hotel. I was very impressed with this choice. It was unbelievably comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Since we stayed more than a week here, we changed room twice to get different feel. Money was well spent.Satri House: "Lovely oasis in Luang Prabang"
"We stayed at Satri House for 3 nights at the end of our Laos trip. The hotel rooms are beautifully refurbished and full of antiques (and have modern showers & A/C!). Rooms fumigated every night too to get rid of mosquitos. Lovely pool to relax in and little poolside bar. Free bikes on offer to explore the city and the staff are very helpful in arranging / suggesting places to visit and restaurants. No TVs in the room help relax and adjust to the pace of life! Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"Slow Villas and Spa: "The best hotel experience ever!"
"This is a perfect place for those who are looking for privacy and piece. The villas are very nice decorated, rustic and chic at the same time. Some nice details makes a big difference: the soap is hand made, very nice hand messages around, map full of handwriting messages and recommendations, the baby cot is made of bamboo. They have bikes available to ride around the island, the breakfast is ordered the day before (and it has options for all tastes) and served in the comfort of your Vila. Julie, the co-owner is a sweetheart herself and all the staff is super nice, always willing to help and in super good mood. We felt treated like a family. The only issue was having to log in all the time to the Internet, but when done, it worked quite well. They didn't have a coffee machine when we were there, but it was already ordered. Highly recommend. The price was worth it. And the prices there are quite ok, not overpriced."Neeleshwar Hermitage: "The perfect end to our wonderful Kerala Tour"
We stayed 2 nights here at the end of a wonderful three weeks in Kerala. We arrived at 10am having spent two nighst on the Lotus Boat which was just magical. We were immediately show to our room, which was beautiful, leaving us the whole day to just relax.The food in the restaurants, was possibly a little pricey, and lost a bit in translation but we could forgive this for the perfect setting (right on the beach) and the service and attention of the staff. Walking along the deserted beach for over an hour, only seeing fishermen bringing in their nets is something we will never forget. We had a very late flight home and they kindly let us stay in our room so that we could enjoy the day and have dinner before we left. If you want to relax after touring, or just chill out this is the place to do it. Thank you for the perfect end to our holiday. I hope we will be back.Tugu Bali: "One of a kind hotel with exceptional service in a great location"
The beauty of this hotel is second to none in all of Bali. The owner of the hotel is the largest art collector in all of Indonesia and the hotel is literally a museum of his prized collections. You will not find a more authentic Balinese experience. There is an old temple that was reconstructed into a restaurant. The setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is serene and peaceful. Our room was one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in and included our own private pool and a bathroom with a koi pond. The staff is exceptional and in typical Bali form they all knew our names, made us feel special, and treated us like we were family. I would recommend this hotel to anyone from honeymooners to experienced travelers to backpackers. We couldnt say enough good things about our time at TUGU and will absolutely be back to visit again. Maybe next time to one of their other 3 hotels which I hear are just as nice.Dewakan: "An Absolute Must Visit"
"If there is only one restaurant you can go to while you are in KL, then make it this one! I don't usually gush lyrical, but here is a young chef who combines well rehearsed classical technique with inventiveness and an open mind. Added to this is a philosophy that is not floridly wordy, but very much bound to the earth and to his own family traditions. Chef Darren sources his ingredients locally and lets his family recipes be part of his inspiration. So what should you expect? Beautifully prepared dishes with a distinct, sometimes subtle, sometimes strong local flavour, lots of freshness and a little playful fun. Overall, great, great food that you definitely must not miss out on."Reverie Siam: "Amazing hotel"
"I don't recommend getting to Pai at night, at least not drive to there. In the night it is a bit hard to find and the hotel couldn't be found on the car navi. Other then that it was a very welcome very cosy hotel. Our room was a bit far and you can get a bit lost there but it is a part of the place magic. It reminded me a bit like Alice in wonderland with all the bushes. The room was great and clean, the ride to the city was very comfortable for those who don't have bikes there."Cuca: "Fabulous"
Best food and staff . Great interior or watch kitchen working and eat . Very professional went three timesMesaStila: "Amazing hotel lost in the middle of Java"
We loved this hotel. The garden is huge, quiet and luxurious, and you can walk around to check the coffee plantation. The views are amazing, especially from the swimming pool. The spa is super nice. We had great massages in a very relaxing room for two. The restaurant serves good food. The rooms are large, confortable and authentic. The staff is very nice (even if communication in English is not very easy with some of the staff). We woke up early in the morning to match the sunrise on the volcanos from the Mount Andung: it was crowdy with the locals being on holiday during this weekend but it added some fun to the experience. Same for Borobudur temples. Highly recommended.4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Good way to start our holiday after 11 months of non stop work"
Stayed here for 4 nights - after non stop work from January to November this was our first port of call on our Cambodian holiday. For us it was the right choice. Totally calm and relaxing. Staff were brilliant and food overall was great. The only reason we haven't given 5 stars is that we found the b'fast lacking in breadth and diversity. A minor thing overall as we can away refreshed and ready for the rest of our holidays!
