Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Et si c’était le paradis"

"Au sein du superbe lac Inlé, cet hôtel est plein de charme. Composé de seulement 6 spacieux bungalows sur pilotis meublés avec raffinement, c'est un endroit où l'on doit séjourner si l'on va dans la région. Le bruit des pirogues n'est absolument pas gênant puisque les bungalows ne donnent pas sur le canal principal. Le personnel, jeune et très nombreux (il s'agit d'une école hôtelière), est d'une gentillesse extrême, toujours aux petits soins. Le restaurant sert une excellente cuisine birmane élaborée avec les légumes cultivés sur les jardins flottants qui relient les différents bungalows. Avec mon épouse, nous y retournerions volontiers. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song: "A very special place!"

"As many have said, Villa Song is a bubble of peace and tranquility in a chaotic and noisy city. I would thoroughly recommend it. The boat is a great way to get to the city. The room (Art Suite) was beautiful, with river views. If I was to be critical about one thing, it would be the restaurant menu. The kids menu was excellent, however the regular menu we found a bit strange. It was fusion-ish! Strange combinations. It all tasted pretty good mind you, but I would prefer to see more true Vietnamese on there. Personal taste perhaps. A real gem. We will be back for sure! Gareth."

jing: "Fantastic Hotel! Fantastic Service!"

"We decided to visit Pingyao based on Lonely Planet recommendations (Pingyao is famous as a walled city and well-known for its local goods). So glad we did! This hotel was the best during our China/HK holiday. It is an oasis in an otherwise dusty and remote location. The room and facilities is top notch although don't expect to watch TV as there is none except in the guest lounge. You won't miss it though as the hotel offers spa treatments; noodle making and paper cutting classes. We were able to relax in the guest lounge with complimentary afternoon tea. All tea and delicacies (we had eight bean treasure one day and a type of porridge the next) are locally produced and were delicious. The restaurant is great for both breakfast and dinner with a wide selection available. Loved the scrambled eggs Chinese style on a bed of steamed rice for breakfast. Personal service and attention from all the staff is second to none but especially from the resident manager, Imam, who is outstanding. He was always available to assist or ensure our needs were being met and popped up magically as we would pass through the lobby area. On our final morning of our stay he took us on a personal tour of a ruined courtyard giving us a tremendous insight into how the locals lived many years ago as well as escorting us to a local shoe manufacturer. We would definitely stay here again and the hotel and friendliness make this place worth the detour to Pingyao itself! "

Summertime Villa: "An oasis of seclusion"

"Summertime Villa is an oasis of seclusion in one of the most touristy parts of Goa. I can't decide which was my favourite part of my time there... Mornings by the koi fish pond, which I could access from the room I was put up in. Or the afternoons lazing on the deck chair, watching the starlings take quick dips into the water. Or the evening swims in the infinity pool, with the sun setting into a horizon of palm trees. The rooms were cosy yet spacious, the meals were delicious, and the owners delightful company!"

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "luxurious"

They were given a great suite overlooking the river boardwalk, a welcome drink and gift in the room, cleaning and and immaculate linen, restaurant and breakfast fantastic, we were also offered a drink of your choice on the restaurant terrace !!!

Inle Princess Resort: "what a wonderful place"

"The Hotel is Magic. We were picked up by a boat and slowly brought into this paradise. The room was fantastic, the Food and Drinks to match. We were so happy there that we decided to Skip a few temples to be able to enjoy this resort. The sunset on the terrace with a drink is fabulous. "

Reverie Siam Pai: "Lunch at Riverie Siam"

My friend has recommended me to this place for overnight stay but unfortuniately all rooms were occupied. I decided to stop over for lunch which I had nice Italian dinning, good taste, great presentation by the waitress and I guess the owner. Totallo love it and looking forward to coming back soon!

Rachamankha: "Classic gem if you are into classics"

"Positives: extra comfortable bedding, in a quiet and nice alley away from busy traffic, professional and helpful staff, pool having the cleanest water I have seen (reminds me of Pissin Molitor in The Life of Pi), lush and immaculate landscaping, included breakfast is delicious, and delicately prepared. Negatives: internet works only half the time, limiting my ability to upload photos and book tours for the next days; room door, bathroom door and shower door are all narrow or half openable, really inconvenient."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Tranqulity and Amazing Staff"

We stayed at 4 Rivers earlier this week as part of our family trip through Cambodia. Although a long drive from Phnom Penh (5-6 hours given Phnom Penh traffic) the drive lets you experience beautiful scenery increasingly taking you into the rainforest areas before reaching the 4 Rivers reception and a short 20 mins boat ride to the Lodge. Once you arrive it is a beautiful setting with the tents floating on the river and the jungle all around. The tents are well equipped, spacious and private. The first night we were taken out on the river the see the fire flies and the second day we kayaked, swam in the river and took the side trip to the waterfalls which were fantastic. The staff at the resort were a mix of local villagers and the managers were from the Philippines. All of them were incredibly warm, genuine and helpful and simply wanted to ensure you were having a great time. You constantly are amazed and how wonderful the Cambodians are. The food was very good (taking into account you are in the middle of nowhere). I would encourage everyone to go and visit the lodge and the region as my greatest fear is that once relay discovered the area will fall victim to major development. For now it is a wonderful and magic place.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Great romantic getaway"

"Well, I will start by saying we were booked at another place on Gili Air and while it was nice, we decided to go over and take a peak at Gili Slow to see if they might have a vacancy for our second night. When we got there they had one suite available which they showed us.....it was so much better than our current place we actually went back and grabbed our bags and moved that night to Gili Slow! The service was great, the breakfast delivered to our one bedroom pool side villa was delicious and delivered at EXACTLY the time we asked for it the night before (impressive in any island destination). The open air rooms and super comfy beds and outdoor bathrooms were all great. Also, they have a great spa on site as well but book your treatments early as they book up fast! Overall just a fantastic experience in a magical place."
