Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "What a great experience"
"I spend 3 nights at this beautiful Hanok and it was an amazing experience ! Rakkojae is in the hearth of Bukchon, in a very quiet alley. But still, its in the centre of Seoul, Anguk Subway Station is just 5 minutes away, and plenty of restaurants, sights, shops etc. are in easy walking distance (...) Dinner and breakfast are included, and are traditional and very tasty. You can also have a continental breakfast with toast and eggs if you prefer. Korean breakfast was with smoked fish (very tasty), abalone porridge (tasty, but a bit too excotic for me as a breakfast dish) and I was glad that on the third morning (I had continental breakfast on the second morning) there was a tasty soup instead of the porridge. The ladies who run Rakkojae are very friendly. I tried the Mud Sauna on the 3rd night and liked it a lot (so I wish I had tried it on the first night already). Overall, I loved it at Rakkojae, and can only recommend it. Its an amazing and beautiful place, that words can really describe. You have to go there and experience it yourself. And if you can, stay for at least 2 nights."Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A unique experiece"
The Blue Mansion was a wonderful, unexpected experience, a beautifully restored house with a calm and quiet environment. Large comfortable room, good choice of breakfasts and delicious food and good service in the Indigo restaurant. It is well worthwhile doing one of the tours to learn about the fascinating history given by a very entertaining Chinese lady. We found all the staff without exception to be very friendly and helpful, but in particular Shirley (I think that was her name) who gave us lots of advice of where to go and what to do which we did - the street art in Georgetown, markets, restaurants, Penang Hill and Battu Ferringai, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a very different few days, we haven’t stopped talking about theBlue Mansion.Inle Princess Resort: "Blends with the natural landscape"
The hotel is well located and the rooms are all bungalows. Its a romantic setting just walking t o your room. Supplies are hard to get so the hotel is a bit rough around the edges, but that gives it some of its charm. The dinning room and bar are beautiful and the service very attentive. All of the burmese people are wonderful and friendly.Muang La Lodge: "2 jours formidables"
2 evenings spent in Muang La resort with my husband and our 3 children. Comfortable bedrooms, the hotel is a haven of peace ... months would have stayed longer. After several days of visiting nois recommend to stay 1 day 1/2 day quietly at the hotel to enjoy their facilities. In February pool a little cold but that's normal! No mosquitoes! Hot baths are absolutely idyllic! And meals are delicious and highly sought ...MesaStila: "Colonial charm fantastic place"
Great place to explore central java, borobudur, prambanan etc. Estate build in colonial times is perfect getaaway from the city. Nice touch with heritage style villas. Coffee plantation tour is fun and informative, get freshly ground coffee as well. Nicely nestled amongs the mountains with spectacular views, infinity pool and a massive spa for those who like to indulge. Food is decent with good mix of western and local food. Great coffee cocktails! Service is also very very good extremely friendly staff.4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Splendid Relaxation"
"My husband and I ended our 14 days in Cambodia with a 3 night stay at the lodge. It was the perfect end to a wonderful trip. The food was excellent and the staff were most accommodating and friendly. The ability to jump into the river right outside the tent, then relax on the recliner - repeat - was fabulous. The excursion to the waterfalls were particularly memorable. There is no wifi service but it was not missed and added to the relaxation. A stay here goes beyond the great food and fun as the owners of the lodge make a meaningful impact to the people in the local community and the environment. A return trip to Cambodia would certainly include 4 Rivers Floating Lodge."Villa Mathis: "Très bel établissement"
"Accueil chaleureux, jardin splendide très élaboré... Avons testé 3 chambres... Toutes mieux décorées les unes que les autres.. Étape obligée à l'arrivée ou au départ de Bali. Nouveau manager sympathique et efficace. Bonne continuation à tous "Rachamankha: "Best stay in Chiang Mai"
"This was one of the most peaceful hotels that I have ever stayed in, it feels like a retreat where the soul is nourished away from the everyday hustle and bustle. The architecture, gardens and decor are amazing. In the morning someone comes to cut the grass with a pair of garden scissors instead of a lawnmower so the peace is just never disturbed. We had lovely meals in the restaurant and enjoyed every send of our visit and we will visit Thailand again for the third time just to stay in this hotel again."VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Charming hotel in a stunning location"
"Pure peace and tranquility next the Saigon River, absolutely stunning place which exceeded all our expectations. Beautiful, colonial style rooms with stunning views, fabulous food all served with the Vietnamese hospitality. We felt wonderfully pampered and spoiled. "Talabgaon Castle: "Hidden Treasure"
A little outside Jaipur this polo retreat is definitely a must visit resort. If you are a group of travellers then your search for perfect escape from city is over. From food to service to privacy this resort has everything that a traveler requires. Rooms are huge with grand bathrooms, Definitely a "Castle" that you should not miss going to.
