Review by: syedi30 | Source: Trip Advisor
We have been to babe a few times now, and it never fails to impress- Creative and delicious. Food wise, it is Amazing attention to every tiny detail. Michelin starred Chef Ramsey's always comes up with a unique menu. A world class restaurant right here in KL. On top of all that, the view is amazing.

Review by: mukeshshah_fine | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We were delighted to be at Satru house in Luang Prabang .. Very old style historical villa which was earlier used by a communist head of Laos after Frenchs left.. Excellent rooms.. Superb services.. Good breakfast.. Efficient services.. On our request they also made Vegetarian Lao cuisine for dinner. It was really a pleasure to be in Satri house for 2 nights.. We wished we were here for one more night.... We highly recommend travelers to stay in this marvelous hotel..."

David’s Kitchen: "Almost wheel-barrowed out!"

Review by: roylamsam | Source: Trip Advisor
My wife and I were celebrating a year after getting married in Chiang Mai. There were whispers around town that David's kitchen was an excellent restaurant and we decided to chance our luck and book a day in advance. Luckily enough we managed to get a table and our dining experience surpassed anything we imagined! Everything was lovely. The ambience, the company, the setting, the staff, David himself came to chat to us (interesting man!) and the whole restaurant was thoroughly enjoying itself immensely. Most importantly, the food was incredible. We tried the escargot, the pumpkin soup, the signature beef cheek as well as the bourguignon. After that, we couldn't help but try their desserts in the sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate souffle. By the end of it, we were so relaxed, happy and content that indefinitely felt like we needed to be wheel-barrowed out of the restaurant. I offer my highest recommendation to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Food lovers would leave David's Kitchen saying Chiang Mai definitely has a top restaurant in town.

Arumdalu: "A hidden getaway that’s definitely worth a visit"

Review by: mossil58 | Source: Trip Advisor
The combination of the friendly hotel staff members, luxurious villa, private beach, excellent food exceeded all our expectations of the place. The beach was nice enough for us to skip the island hopping tours couldn't get enough of the cool breeze, turquoise waters and fine sand. Would suggest visitors to stay a night at belitung city to soak in what the town has to offer then proceed to Arumdalu. This will save you the hassle of travelling to and fro the resort and the main town area as its almost a 1.5hr drive each way.

Tugu Lombok: "Rest in paradise"

Review by: joana_cool_house | Source: Trip Advisor
"We staid there for 3nights and we loved it The place is beautiful very different from other 5star hotels. They respect the tradition and the Indonesian history and try to adjust to the hotel decoration. It's a beautiful and calm place. We were lucky the hotel was not crowded. It was low season and we had the hotel almost to ourselves. Very nice staff. The beach is the best we got in Indonesia with warm water but a lot of corals (you should were protection shoes) They have 2 restaurants at the hotel There are 2 big pools. The only bad thing is the prays in the middle of the night. They are Muslims and they pray in the middle of the night and wake you up with the speakers. You have transportation service, excursions to gili, spa, kayaks, paddel board, cooking lessons, snorkeling.. Our breakfast was included and we could have it at any time of the day.. So it was more of a lunch.. And the food is not expensive. It is a romantic place to go and spend a few days. One of my favorite hotel in the world! Stayed March 2017"

Maduzi Hotel: "Excellent"

Review by: mayleef | Source: Trip Advisor
Maduzi Hotel is a charming boutique hotel that has its customers in mind in every minute detail. Allow me to share what's excellent in this hotel: 1. Location - near the BTS Asok station and Terminal 21, just 5 minutes walking distance. 2. Flexible - hotel can adjust the time of your check out; this is especially good if you're catching an evening flight. 3. Big spacious and cozy room with a comfortable king size bed and fluffy pillows. Just note that the toilet / bathroom are open and do not have a door. 4. Complimentary mini bar that they replenish daily! This hotel is very generous. 5. Complimentary drinks can be claimed any time during your stay, and also unlimited hot / cold drinks at the bar which is perfect after a long day outside touring or shopping. This is always a welcome treat! 6. Jacuzzi a plus, though the hotel does not have a swimming pool facility but every little detail and care in this hotel compensates for the lack of it. 7. Staff is very helpful and commendable for giving excellent customer service. 8. Breakfast menu is varied and plated well, with unlimited salad and fruit bar. 9. You must try their vegetable shot offered during breakfast! They offer a concoction of fresh vegetable juices for US$1.5 per glass. This hotel is commendable, worth staying and recommending!

Sanak Retreat: "Tranquil oasis amidst the rice paddies"

Review by: ankiandlarry | Source: Trip Advisor
My wife and I and two adult children had a great stay in one of the lovely bungalows overlooking the rice paddies. The accommodations were very comfortable and the food was good. Both days we toured the area, one day by van and the second day by ATV’s. This is a very relaxing, serene and pleasant spot.

Tugu Bali: "Can do in Canggu"

Review by: Joe F | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a great stay in Canggu. Hotel Tugu staff were friendly helpful and could not do enough for my wife and I. The surf was at our doorstep, there was massage, yoga nearby, great dining so there was something for everyone in my family.

Satri House: "Oasis in Luang Prabang"

Review by: val1053 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Satri House was a welcome relief from airplanes, heat, crowds and all the travails of international travel. Greeted by friendly and efficient staff, stunning and immaculate grounds, the sweet smell of lemongrass and air conditioned room, I felt ready to relax before heading out for 5 days of discovery in Luang Prabang area. If you have time, enjoy a massage in the spa and be sure to look around at all the grounds...a treat for body, mind and spirit. The staff does all they can to make your stay very pleasant! Breakfast was good but a little more variation would have been nice since we were there for several days. This hotel was selected for us by our travel company, so I have not looked into details of price, value, etc. I can only say we did not select the very top hotel package and we're not disappointed at Satri House! Room Tip: I would suggest an upper level room, as the wooden floors seem to be noisey."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Oasis of calm in busy Bangkok"

Review by: Ruthonhertravels | Source: Trip Advisor
Surreal and beautiful place to stay, tucked away behind some unassuming gates this hidden gem of a boutique hotel lends a completely different perspective to Bangkok. Admittedly it is not for everyone, it is not large and corporate, there isn’t 24 hour room service etc. However, the staff are incredibly helpful, the rooms and grounds are breathtaking and the food is excellent, its is somewhere I would like to return to again and again.
