Manda De Laos: "Lovely setting"

What a lovely meal sitting by the huge lily pond all lit up. The food was very good quality. A bit pricier than most restaurants but worth it.

Manda De Laos: "Amazing restaurant and food, and surprisingly reasonable prices"

We did not have reservations but were welcomed with a smile. Excellent service, fresh and delicious menu items: a real find.

Villa Mathis: "Un hôtel unique"

"J'avais tellement entendu parler de La Villa Mathis qui est devenu une institution à Bali que j'ai décidé et surtout eu la chance d'y passer 2 nuits en fin de séjour. La déco est parfaite, les espaces de vie une véritable réussite, les petits dej exceptionnels et le personnel très attentionné. La villa Mathis est bien plus qu'un hôtel...on a juste envie d'y retourner et on se projette naturellement pour un noël en famille, une séjour en amoureux ou un beak pour se ressourcer. Tout y est, merci !!! Elodie"

Villa Song Saigon: "Superb"

"Great hotel - peaceful retreat from the Saigon hustle, complete with complementary speedboat service to and from the city centre (20 minutes by boat)! Excellent anytime of day breakfast service, and for a city hotel, a really good pool-size"

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Great place to stay"

We really enjoyed staying at this resort. We slept at Maison Ulysse and I really enjoyed the interior and . The resort has a lot of details and it very well looked after. It is hard to communicate with the staff as they hardly speak any English. But Bryan (the manager) is most of the time present to help and give you tipps. Due to the fact that this resort is very small, it has a familiar atmosphere which we enjoyed. We also felt very safe, never looked our hut

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Great food in a lovely location"

A comfortable, modern interior with funky sculptures and lots of light. A gorgeous lake view and terrace to sit and enjoy a pre-dinner drink. Delicious food and knowledgeable, attentive service. The genuine hospitality of Lucia and Felix. And it is truly vegetarian friendly. We let them know beforehand that I am vegetarian and without asking, the amuse bouche and other little extras that came were all vegetarian, which was very much appreciated. A really lovely evening in a special place. Well worth it.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Quirky, fun place to stay"

"Spent 3 nights at Four Rivers in early May. We really felt that we were embarking on something special when we were collected by boat for our transfer to the Lodge and we were not disappointed. The accommodation, in tents is wonderful, it is spacious and well furnished. The bathroom is large with an amazing wooden shower tub! Fans attempt to keep the tents cool and were reasonably effective considering how hot it was. The staff were without fail friendly, courteous and kind. Nothing was too much, my wife happened to mention to the restaurant manager that she would like to try a Cambodian speciality that was not on the menu. An hour later the meal had been cooked for her and was superb. That seemed to be the way the Lodge worked, it was a case of just ask and well do our best to provide. There is a local guy, born on the island opposite the Lodge, who is the tour guide. He deserves a special mention as he provided a real touch of magic to our stay. We went on an early morning hike, a river trip to a fishing village where we also kayaked through the mangroves and a boat trip to see fireflies. He is so knowledgable and great fun to be with but so caring and polite. This is a great place to stay and well worth the 4 hour journey from Phnom Penh."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Not your usual hotel"

"This historic building provides a totally different experience to that of modern hotels. The cool, calm quiet of the hotel provides a relaxed environment and the pleasant, helpful staff ensure your needs are met. Good location for old George Town and within walking distance of shopping centres, night food market next door."

Satri House: "Fantastic stay. Lovely location and great service"

Satri house was a great experience overall. Lovely location on a quiet (well usually, see below) residential street 5 mins from "town". Great service, lovely clean rooms and amazing little edible treats left in the rooms every afternoon. The pool area is small so loungers are limited but there is a second pool area if needs be. The restaurant serves a really nice breakfast and although we only ate dinner their once that was great too. The spa was good. Not amazing but not bad. There were two downsides - the number of mosquitos which were ridiculous and almost certainly bred in the large pond by reception/the restaurant - the stagnant water must be heaven on earth for them. At any one time we had a least 10 in our room and never left the windows or doors open. The 4 poster bed with curtains helped keep the blood sucking critters at bay at night. The other downside whilst we were there was the non stop loud dance music coming from the festival next door combined with the karaoke on the street behind the pool for national women's day. We found it rather amusing but I doubt I would have felt the same if I had been there too much longer - plus our air con and fan helped drown out some of the noise when we were in the room. Despite the two issues I would definitely stay there again and loved our trip.

Rachamankha: "A tranquil haven and touch of paradise"

We stayed five nights in this beautiful hotel. It is a haven of peace in the busy city of Chiang Mai. The restaurant (Courtyard under the stars) is perfect with excellent food, perfect service and evening Thai musicians. Rooms are traditional with all mod cons. Public areas are charming and the pool perfect. Most areas of the old city are within gentle walking distance 10 - 45 minutes). All staff are most helpful. We found this hotel to be a touch of paradise.
