Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Beautiful retreat, great staff, fabulous food!"

The Hermitage is that rare perfect mix of relaxation & activities . The spa is second to none, but also be sure to do the free yoga each morning at 8am- and book a package to include meditation and extra yoga if you can. Go to the temple trip one evening and also the plantation walk.

Mie Cafe: "Best restaurant in siem reap"

We stayed at the city for 3 days and loved the restaurant so much that we travelled far to the restaurant for the second time only to find that it was an off day for them. I'll definitely come back if I had the chance to visit siem reap again.

Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Nice and Cozy"

"I went on the cruise in late winter (beginning of Jan), still not that hot and humid. Went on the cruise at Their small eating room which is nice location and nice traditional Thai food. Cruise Staff is really nice and smiley, drinks are good. Fantastic decoration. Love it!!"

Jing’s Residence: "Highly recommend"

"We stayed two nights at Jing's Residence and what an amazing experience it was. A wonderful oasis of calm and tranquillity. The traditional Chinese courtyard style of residence with the modern facilities is very tastefully combined. The service could not be faulted. Staff were both attentive and friendly. We had a delicious Chinese meal in the restaurant and a most enjoyable afternoon tea in the beautiful upstairs room/library. Breakfast was very good too. There are many little touches which make Jing's residence unique and which were much appreciated. I particularly enjoyed the honeyed dates. Also enjoyed was the tea (ginger and honey) served on arrival whilst we waited for our passports to be checked. Pingyao is a small walled city and we were fortunate to have a guide who was able to take us to places of historical interest in the vicinity. We would definitely recommend Jing's Residence. It has a wonderful atmosphere and is very welcoming. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Amata Lanna: "Hidden paradise"

"2 minutes walk from a charming river temple, this wonderful traditional thai-sytle hotel on two storeys is highly recommendable, to say the least. Set around a beautiful inner courtyard dominated by a large frangipani tree with star-shaped white flowers which fall from time to time into an oval swimming pool, you can sit and relax after a long day's sightseeing, contemplate the early morning over a delicious partially outdoor breakfast among huge ferns and thai garden ornaments, or sit and sip beer or free lemon-grass tea in the evening by the swimming pool with the trees lit up around you. The rooms, set around the courtyard, are spacious with 4-poster beds and thai furniture. If you want more light, go for the upper floor, but you are destined probably from all rooms to see the greenery from the windows. I thought the staff could have become my personal friends the way they were so personable. They had two bicycles that were for lending without charge and transport free to the airport in at least one direction. One night I got back very late and didn't want to go out on the dark streets alone, so I suggested getting a couple of mangoes to the night staff from the mango bowl in the reception area. Since they never charged me for this, the least I can do is write a review! To make one request for improvement I would ask for mosquito nets on at least one window in the hotel rooms so that you can enjoy the evening air in your own room in the cooler months without the risk of insects coming in. However, this is not probably a feature in many thai hotels, including all top hotels, as most people these days just want the air conditioning, which of course this hotel has."

The Island Lodge: "The Island Lodge is an Island Dream, in the coconut Kingdom"

My stay at the island lodge was awesome, the service, the area and the food are great. Don't hesitate to try the fusion cuisine, and enjoy the swimming pool area with a authentic via on the river mekong and its endless boat ballet, ride motorbike or bicycle in the coconut islands ... An home grown & authentic trip in the Mekong Delta!!!

Rachamankha: "Romantic oasis of tranquility and superb service"

"This was our second visit to Rachamankha. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and had no hesitation in selecting Chiang Mai and this hotel. It is ideally located within the old walled city, about 100 metres from Wat Pra Singh. The hotel is designed to resemble an old Chinese warlord's house. The meticulous attention to detail is beautiful as demonstrated by the wonderful old furniture in the rooms through to the old world atmosphere of the library.Whilst maintaining a wonderful old world sense each room is well equipped with all the mod cons including docking station, large television and strong WiFi signal. The beds are enormous and very comfortable and the bathrooms are huge. The restaurant is situated around a courtyard with the option of dining al fresco or inside in the air conditioning. The service is delightful without being pushy. The linen table cloths and silver cutlery add to the wonderful ambience. The food is a highlight. Be warned - the breakfasts are enormous but amazingly good value. Having dinner there is a beautiful experience and the food is delightful. Chiang Mai can be non-stop and it is a truly relaxing experience to walk into the grounds of the hotel and enjoy the serenity which is only broken by the squeakings and twitterings of the resident squirrel population."

Tugu Lombok: "Exquisite"

"My wife and I had the pleasure of staying with the Tugu ‘family’ for 9 days - oh how we wished we could stay for much longer! From arriving Henry (one of the 2 managers) was possibly the most welcoming person in Indonesia. We arrived late due to a delayed flight (just after 10pm), he could see we were exhausted so gave us a very quick tour and took us straight to our room and said we can deal with the paper work for the check in in the morning. He also had the kitchen whip us up some sandwiches which I thought was extremely thoughtful. Rooms/Villa - each are decorated sympathetically in Indonesian/Lombok styles with pieces of furniture of the highest quality, from the living area/ bedroom, bathroom and garden to the restaurant and bar - everything. Food - whether you want to experience typical Indonesian food or prefer something more western, Tugu caters for everyone. I’d recommend for breakfast to try the Burbur Ketan Hetam, delicious. Alongside Henry, Ellie is the other manager who is equally as warm and welcoming. I can’t single out all the other superb staff, but ones I can remember are Russwal and Eka. Hopefully my wife and I can visit again one day in the not too distant future. Thanks again to all of the team at Tugu for making our stay a once in a lifetime."

Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song: a wonderful Art Deco hotel occupying a quiet position on the banks of the Saigon river"

Great hotel, great food (apart from breakfast, which was average), fantastic bedroom and really helpful staff. Annoying niggly problems with signing bills and a trainee at breakfast barely understood English. Nice free mini-bar in room, with water, soft drinks and beer.

Villa Song Saigon: "beautiful hotel"

absolutely good, loved the rooms, stayed with my husband and 2 kids, good connecting rooms, nice garden and the terrace has a beautiful view on the Mekong river with the boats during day and especially afternoon with sunset. Always interesting! breakfast is on the menu and no buffet but good choice, very good coffee!  My kids loved the big pool and the 15 minute boat ride to town!
