MesaStila: "Super attentive staff!"

"I rarely write a review for hotels but MesaStila definitely deserves an excellent review! You can read others' review about the breathtaking views and comfortable villas but here i want to praise the staff for how attentive they are! I lost a ring there and just realized it after i left MesaStila and arrived in Semarang. So i called them and i didn't even ask them to look for my ring (because it's very silly to bother the staffs to look for a ring in a 22 hectares estate), i only told them that i lost my ring and just in case anyone sees it, i would appreciate if they let me know, so i left my number. An hour after that, they called me and they said they looked everywhere and found my ring on a floor at the club house! I don't even know how they managed to find it but they did, and they couriered it to me the next day. Can you believe... Would totally recommend MesaStila for everyone, especially for those who often left their stuffs at hotels ;)"

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Fantastisches Hotel, tolles Design, super Service"

"Wir verbrachten auf unserer Reise in Indonesien vier Nächte im wunderbaren Sandat Glamping Tents. Der Aufenthalt war von vorne bis hinten hervorragend. Wir sind relativ spät (ca. 23 Uhr) am Hotel angekommen. Nach der ca. 1,5 stündigen Fahrt vom Flughafen und den letzten Meter auf etwas holprigen Straßen wurden wir vom Team sehr herzlich begrüßt (Tipp: Shuttle vom Hotel buchen! Wir haben das offizielle Taxi vom Flughafen genommen - am Schalter, der einem empfohlen wird - und mehr bezahlt als wir beim Hotel-Shuttle hätten. Die Preise auf der Flughafenhomepage sind nicht aktuell). Nach einer kurzen Führung durch das Hotel und unser Lumbung Legong konnte der Urlaub entspannt beginnen. Zimmer: Wir wohnten in einem Lumbung (einer traditionellen Reishütte) mit einem offenen Wohnzimmer und offenen Bad im EG und dem klimatisierten Schlafzimmer im OG. Alles ist sehr stylisch eingerichtet und sauber. Das Zimmer hat keinen Fernseher (wir haben ihn auch nicht vermisst). Insgesamt gibt es 8 Unterkünfte (5 Zelte mit eigenem Pool, 3 Lumbungs mit Gemeinschaftspool). Die fünf Zelte sind etwas versteckter. Unser Lumbung war auch etwas versteckter, die beiden weiteren liegen am Gemeinschaftspool. Am Pool gibt es (bei zweier Belegung der Lumbungs) immer genug Liegen - insgesamt 6 Stück. Lage und Anlage: Die Anlage liegt inmitten von Reisfeldern, was einen besonderen Charme hat. Man entkommt dem doch eher trubeligen Ubud und findet sich in einer tollen Umgebung wieder. In der Umgebung arbeiten die Reisbauern auf den Feldern. Morgens kann man an manchen Tagen die Gesänge (zum Gebet?) der Einheimischen hören, was wir im Positiven besonders fanden, da es beruhigend war. Das Hotel bietet einen regelmäßigen Shuttle nach Ubud mit sehr netten Fahrern an. Die Fahrt dauert ca. 10 Minuten. In der direkten Umgebung gibt es im Grunde nichts. Ein paar ganz kleine Läden von Einheimischen, die nur das Wesentlichste (kleine Snacks, Getränke) anbieten und das auch nicht mit Garantie Service: Alle Mitarbeiter sind super nett und versuchen alles möglich zu machen. Uns wurde immer weiter geholfen. Unsere Dusche leckte bei Anreise etwas. Nachdem wir Bescheid gaben, war das Problem nach 30 Minuten behoben. Toll! Gastronomie: Das Frühstück ist super. Es gibt leckeres Brot, Joghurt, tollen Kaffee, Süßgebäck (immer unterschiedlich), Ei in jeglichen Varianten und vieles mehr. Wir haben es sehr genossen im tollen Restaurant beim gemütlichen Frühstücken zu sitzen, welches es sogar bis 11:30 Uhr geht. Wir haben zudem zwei Mal abends im Restaurant gegessen. Alles von sehr guter Qualität, aber hochpreisig. An den restlichen Tagen haben die leckeren Warungs in Ubud besucht. Design: Das Sandat Glamping Tents verdient einen eigenen Punkt zum Design. Angefangen von der Architektur und den Materialien der Gebäude bis zu den Details auf den Zimmern ist alles sehr stylisch eingerichtet bzw. designt ohne unpraktisch zu sein. Das Highlight ist das Restaurant, welches eine sehr hohe, nahezu aus rein natürlichen Materialien errichtete offene Konstruktion ist. Auch das Innere hat absoluten Stil. Wir waren neben dem Gebäude selbst, sehr von dem 6-8 Meter langen Massivholztisch begeistert. Fazit: Sehr stylisches Hotel, welches ab der ersten Minute den Wohlfühlfaktor hat, welcher durch die tollen Mitarbeiter abgerundet wird. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert."

Dewakan: "Three Stars or 3 Hats….. in our books"

"""The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply"" - Kahlil Gibran. This perfectly sums up what Darren Teoh and his team at Dewakan are doing. I profess guilty to being surrounded with these wonderful ingredients and yet be clueless as to their potential. Darren is taking these humble ingredients, injecting playful creativity and reintroducing them into the fore where they belong. Here one can expect to have boundaries challenged, pushed and yet moulded into familiarity. In this off the beaten path kitchen, flavours and textures are being routinely forged. Whilst I appreciate that everyone has their own personal opinion of good food, I suggest preconceptions be left at the door. This is my second visit to Dewakan and once again I leave in awe of mother natures bounty in the hands of a true maestro. "

Misool Eco Resort: "Active Family with 8 year old and 4 year old boys"

"We traveled all over Indonesia for 9 weeks, and we absolutely LOVED Misool. Here's the scoop: 1. Accommodations - There is nice variety of room types, and every room has a fantastic view. In my estimation the resort's website accurately portrays the cottages and villas. They are all tastefully appointed, very clean, and well maintained. Stunning views right over the ""house reef"" (a large beautiful reef right out in front of the resort that is teeming with wildlife - sharks, turtles, and a huge variety of sea life. We stayed in one of the largest villas - Villa Utara - HIGHLY recommend this unit if you're 4 or more people. All units have their own decks with direct access right into the lagoon and over the reef.(...) 4. Diving and Snorkeling - Let me first state that I have been diving in more places around the world, than anyone else I've ever met. That being said, Raja Ampat is the best diving I've ever done, seen, or heard of on the planet. Dense population of wildlife, massive variety... simply awesome. The snorkeling on the house reef is better than most of the diving that people would rave about elsewhere. 5. Children and Family - at age 8 and 4, our boys do not dive. However, they still had a blast. They learned to snorkel, we went paddle boarding, kayaking, playing on the beach, looking for coconut crabs at night (found many)... no shortage of ways to fill the day and have a great time. Look, if you've read this far, I'll tell you that I only have a few reviews on trip advisor. Like most people, I'm more inclined to whine if things don't go well than to report my good experiences (check my other two reviews that are one star). However, we loved this place so much that I feel compelled to urge you to go. "

MesaStila: "Un des plus beaux hotels d’Asie"

"Le cadre de Ce superbe Hôtel colonial est incroyable : entouré d'une plantation de café et d'une forêt (jungle?). Calme absolu. Très bon service. Nous avions une chambre magnifique, sorte de villa individuelle avec une très belle terrace, des meubles de très bon goût, salle de bain incroyable ouvrant sur la jungle. Belle piscine avec une vue magnifique sur les arbres. Très bon restaurant. Les soins du SPA sont du même niveau que le reste. Je sillonne l'Asie du Sud Est plusieurs weekends par mois depuis 4 ans ... et il s'agit probablement d'un des plus beaux hôtels de la région. Stayed November 2016, traveled as a couple"

JL Studio: "A magician Chef!"

"With the talented creative sense of Chef Jimmy, a beautiful presentation, a deeply researched concept, a friendly team for service, JL Studio has found the magic formula to surprise. Young chef, young team, new place... yet a solid experience that transports us with brio into the imaginary world of the Chef. CONGRATULTIONS!"

Sea Dance Resort: "Friendly and welcoming"

"This is our second trip to Koh Samui and I would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff were friendly and were always available to help and give advice. Breakfast was good and the restaurant served a broad selection of Thai and international dishes throughout the day. One night each week the hotel hosts a cocktail and buffet evening. This was a good opportunity to meet the owner and staff in a casual environment. The individual rooms were clean with large bathrooms and a small private pool out front. The hotel provided robes and indoor slippers as well as flip flops for use around the resort. The main pool was quiet and had a lovely view of the beach and out to sea. The hotel was on a quiet road and some may find it too far from amenities other than a 7-11 close by however, we loved that this hotel was relaxed and felt exclusive. It took us around 20 minutes to walk to the busier main beach area. Overall we had a lovely stay and felt at home immediately. Thanks Sea Dance!"

The Village House: "Comfortable place"

We loved the hotel. Quiet, comfortable place where you can really relax from the worries. Fine cuisine! The chef prepared a special diet menus at our request. Competent and responsive staff. Especially impressed by the good Aliffa. We made ​​friends with her. She is very friendly and hospitable answered all our questions, even with our incomprehensible English. How nice it was to see her friendly smile! Our conversations have helped us to better understand and love Malaysia. We will recommend your hotel to our friends.
