  Riad Le Calife totally exceeded my expectations. When it comes to conveying the beauty of this riad - the pictures you see online barely scratch the surface. This riad is absolutely stunning. The décor and the layout are amazing and the attention to detail gives this riad the appearance of a fine museum. Everything you encounter during your stay is of the best quality and absolutely immaculate. The rooms are so beautiful you don’t want to leave! I tried several times to visit one of their rooftop terraces but found I couldn’t tear myself away from my room. The owners, Alexandre and Yasmine, were absolutely delightful. They are genuine, welcoming, beautiful people and make you feel at home from the time you step into their space. We had some lapses in communication because of my lack of WIFI in certain areas of Marrakech so I wasn’t sure if I would find a taxi waiting for me when I arrived or not but as I exited the train station to my surprise there was a gentleman holding a sign reading “Gray - Riad Le Calife”. Even though I hadn’t been able to confirm my exact arrival time, the owners had sent a taxi for me anyway and the poor man had to wait an hour for me to get in as my train was delayed. Talk about taking care of your guests! As we pulled up outside the souk entrance to the riad, two staff members were waiting to take my luggage and escort me to the riad. Upon arrival, I was given “orientation” by Alex and I was so glad to receive it. He sat down with me and showed me a map and how to navigate the city so I wouldn’t get disoriented or lost and then handed me a pre-paid cell phone with the riad’s number programmed in it in case I did get lost. Who does that?! On the morning of my departure, I was taking an early train to Casablanca and Yasmin insisted that I allow them to pack me a breakfast bag to take on the train. Who does that?! They take hospitality to new heights.

  Ms Hayat the supervisor made our stay wonderful with personal touches to every detail to make us comfortable and happy. It's in the middle of the souk so in a minute you are in the middle of the bustle but in a quiet ally so it's peaceful and quiet.

  Riad Romance has a perfect location in the Medina, very close to everything yet still quite. A beautiful Riad, very clean, excellent service, friendly owners and staff who treat you as part of their family. A home away from home. Also, we got helpful suggestions for different activities that always met our expectations. Highly recommend this Riad.

  Alan and Nadine are AMAZING hosts who will guide you through the city - they prep you on how to avoid being scammed, will give you a GPS, negotiate cabs, Nadine even went with us shopping to help us negotiate prices! I was astounded at their level of involvement and it made our stay so great. They built this riad themselves so the amount of detail and care put into the property is amazing. Rooms are great with good AC and sound proofing, breakfast is great, location is great - cannot recommend this riad enough!

  The best owner I've ever seen! He picked us up when we got to Fez, helped us to book the bus tickets, introduced everything for us and even paid 20DH to ask a guy to carry our luggage to the bus station when we left. Then room was clean and the decorations were pretty nice. The terrace they have was a good place to relax. The location and price were good as well. They also prepare breakfast in advance depends on what time you leave. We planned to leave around 6:30am they still provided breakfast for us half an hour earlier.

  Our group of 4 adults stayed here early this month. The owner was very welcoming and informative. He also addressed a small problem right away, which we greatly appreciated. All of the employees were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfasts and the one dinner we had at the riad were excellent. Location is very convenient, close to the main square of the medina and with easy availability of taxis.

  The guesthouse was exquisitely designed. Very comfortable with small touches throughout the stay to truly make one feel welcomed and treated as if the only guest staying at the house - everything from the personalized, mini champagne toast to the turndown service treat to the elegant breakfast was well thought out for a memorable stay. The location was truly beautiful! Belinda anticipated our every need and even made dinner reservations for us in advance so when we checked in we didn't have to think about anything. The flowers throughout the property and in the rooms were beautiful. The rooms and property were impeccablely clean. Such a treat to stay here!

  You can hear the other guests talking from their rooms so it's close quarters. If you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs or turn on a white noise machine.

  This was the family home of the man who runs it. It's a nicely renovated 500 year old building. Rather than a number for each room, they have a name which describes what it was originally used for. We were in the "Wine Room." A delicious breakfast is prepared with secret family recipes by the owner and his mother. There's a view of the Church of the Nativity. The owner and his mother and family quickly become your friends as they share stories about living all their lives in Bethlehem.

  Michel was beyond awesome. He was incredibly welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable, especially for our three young children. He is also a wealth of knowledge about the local community and its attractions, and is happy to sit down and share whatever you'd like to know. This is one of those rare places where you truly get the impression that priority one is the guests, and profit comes second. Also, the location can't be beat. Just minutes walking distance from the White Mosque, Basilica of the Assumption, great restaurants, shopping, etc.

  Our hostess was very helpful in every area, from preparing breakfast to sorting the bus schedule. It was the most relaxing place I stayed in all of my travels in Israel. It really felt like going home at night. The house was well cared for and comfortable.

  There is nothing I didn't like, but a few ideas for others to ponder. If you like to walk everywhere as I do, be prepared to walk a small hill up to the property. If you have a car, it shouldn't matter. I had the solo room upstairs. It was lovely, but you will need to go down the stairs to your private bathroom so if you have any mobility problems you might want to ask for a different room.

  If you come to Safid and do not stay here you will be missing out on one of the most relaxing, beautiful, amazing experiences. As a person who has traveled the world and have stayed in all sorts of accommodations and I must say that The Artist Quarter is on the top of the list for great energy, extremely restful, the vibes are so beautiful!!! The best omelet that I ever had for breakfast!! The host and hostess were top notch. This was my first visit to Sadid and will not be my last and I will stay at the Artist Quarter again and again. This magical place lives on in my memory!!!

  This booking through Booking.com was an ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT. I feel that I was cheated and deceived. When I booked the property, I CLEARLY (100% sure) that I marked my request to have a BREAKFAST included. I saw that the deal is NON-REFUNDABLE but I made the booking because the price (with a breakfast included) was OK for me. Then, after making the order (NON-refundable) I found out that the deal does not include a breakfast! I was offered to pay 16 USD per person to have a breakfast included. This is a huge deceit and theft. Also, after making the order I found out that the price did NOT include taxes! For the sake of fairness, I have to say that I'm NOT sure that this was not mentioned when I made the order. Thus, it is possible that this was mentioned. In all my previous booking with Booking.com I always knew that the price I see in the order is the price I'll pay thereafter. So, I really feel bad and that Booking.com gave a very bad service this time. This is very unfortunate because until now I was extremely happy and satisfied and that's why I am so disappointed.

  This adorable property is worth finding. Safed is a town filled with art and, indeed, was an "art colony." It's on a hillside overlooking the Galilee valley and the views from The Way Inn are lovely. The owners are beyond friendly -- so helpful and considerate. They provide directions and thoughts about other sites in Israel (and will call restaurants on your route for you if you'd like), conversation if you want it, dinner recommendations (great spot about a 15 min. walk away), tea and coffee in the room (and homemade cookies). The property has a beautiful yoga room, several outdoor patio areas and a gorgeous dining room where the amazing breakfast is served -- cappuccino, Israeli salads, gluten-free bread (the owner walked to the bakery to get that for me as I have celiac) and shakshuka. And they will cook up an omelet if you prefer. The comfort level here is HIGH. Our room was painted in gorgeous Mediterranean colors, had a very comfy bed, desk and gorgeous bath. If you go to Safed, I can't imagine finding a better spot to stay. Fabulous.

  We did fine but parking is a few blocks away and Safed is built onto a hillside so be prepared for stairs!

  It's a beautiful Bauhaus building kept original as much as it was posible when converted to a hotel. Our room was huge facing the Blvd....I wished I owned a place in Tel Aviv just like it. The staff is helpful, but you have to know you are going to sort of a homish hotel...there is no reception as such is a cozy living room, leather couch, magazines, excellent library, water, tea, coffee, cookies all the time.... where you can just sit, relax meet people or whatever....great experience !!!

I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful oasis and will ABSOLUTELY come back when I visit Positano/Nocelle again. It was the highlight of our trip!!!!!

Metro station is 2 min from the apartement. etc. 10s of restaurants and cafes in 10 min walking distance, etc...

Hythe, United Kingdom

• +

  It's right next to the Marine Parade, a long walkway right on the beach (which is a gravel, not a sand, beach) and it's a quiet lovely area. When the sky is clear at night can see lights of France across the English Channel. The owners could not have been nicer, and they're experienced and talented chefs. The room was clean, comfy, and with a view. The B&B has a lovely patio, sheltered from the wind, and you have access to snacks, coffee, beer and wine all the time. The village it's located in (Hythe)is small and quaint, with many pretty cottages and their gardens to walk by, and a lovely canal you can walk or picnic next to, or even rent boats or have a boat tour. It has some very nice little shops and restaurants on the high street (try The Nutmeg for Lunch or the White Hart for dinner) and there's grocery stores nearby too. It's convenient for touring along the coast, etc. and everyone I met, in the shops or on the street, was very nice.

• -

  It's quite minor but the door was kind of difficult to get in sometimes - something about the seal made it difficult at times. The owners do not live on site but do live close by, so make sure you keep their number on you when you're out. Also the trucks carrying load after load after load of gravel along the Parade - if I'd been trying to sleep in it might have been noisy, but to be fair they didn't start til around 8:30 am. I believe they stop in the summer, but you might want to check.

  Loved everything about this place located in the square just outside the palace walls, in the middle of everything. A beautifully renovated room, 1 of 3 on this floor, with all the amenities we needed. Able to open the window and enjoy the sounds of the square or close it to shut the sound out. It is a very short walk to the harbor and our hosts, Andrej and Paula, spared no attention to detail on EVERYTHING, even leaving a phone in the common foyer area so that guests are able reach them if necessary. A bottle of wine, fruits and a variety of wonderful tasting cookies baked by Paula were available courtesy of our hosts. They provided useful information about places to go and offered to arrange any trips we wanted to schedule. It was a wonderful experience and everyone was very friendly. Thanks for a great vacation Andrej and Paula we hope to see you again.

  My wife and I loved everything about this hotel. The breakfast and the service are phenomenal! The room and facilities were clean and recently upgraded. The view from the hotel / breakfast area is breathtaking. The prices (for the room, drinks, dinner, etc) are very affordable. We recommend that you stay here just to enjoy the freshly made breakfast pies with a view and sip on the house wine at sunset. As amazing as this hotel is we would have happily paid 3x more for this type of service that just makes you feel like family. We hope to be able to go back to Naxos in a couple of years and we will only ever stay at Hotel Grotta.

  We booked a room without a view so that was the only thing missing for us. But we were able to enjoy that from the lobby, breakfast area, and rooftop seating area. Everything else at the hotel exceeded all expectations.

  Dan, the proprietor, was extremely helpful and friendly. He and his partner worked hard to create this beautiful B&B. We LOVED all of the USB outlets all around our room to charge up all of our devices after a long trip overseas. The bed was so comfortable, and the room was so quiet. We had the best breakfast of our entire trip here ... Dan cooked us a full Irish Breakfast in his beautiful kitchen, while we sat at a lovely table nearby, which was laden with all kinds of breads & spreads, juices, water, etc. We chatted the whole time he cooked, and just thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend stopping here after flying into Dublin, before you set out to explore the rest of Ireland! Also, Dan gave us a great rec. to have dinner at the Old Schoolhouse restaurant. You cannot go wrong staying here! xo

I had contacted Jackie before our arrival to inquire about local laundry facilities. She told about a place in Shannon that we were going to go to but.... she actually did our laundry for us!!! Way above and beyond. We were in the middle of a 3 week trip and this really saved us. Also, do not miss the Irish night at Bunratty.... Superb!

Prague, Czech Republic

  Everything about this hotel and their staff was excellent and this will definitely be my first choice to book on a return trip to Prague. The location was perfect, convenient and within walking distance to all the major tourist areas. The hotel restaurant was fantastic and we ate there several times. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful and when we asked for a recommendation to a currency exchange office, they personally walked us to a reputable one near the hotel so we wouldn't mistakenly walk in to one of the several others nearby. Every day an unexpected treat was left in our lovely room and a definite bonus was the air conditioner in the room. The week we happened to be in Prague was a week of record breaking heat in the mid 90's. Our room was extremely clean and the beds very comfortable. Taxi's are not recommended to take for transportation so the hotel also arranged a driver to pick us up from the train station as well getting us to the airport at 4 in the morning; they even packed a breakfast for each of us since we were leaving so early.

  Tom and Dan were VERY lovely, friendly, offered to take care of anything we needed. They also provided specific recommendations for our time in Vermont. Dan's cooking was a delightful surprise--never the same thing twice! My husband is a vegan, and Dan did his best to make sure he got amazing dining options, as well. A group of regular visitors were in town for the quilting convention, but we did not feel left out at all, as Dan and Tom made us feel very welcome! Tom keeps your coffee cup full at all times at breakfast. The house is beautiful and has truly wonderful gardens that wrap around the property--so much lavendar! Room four has an en suite with a standing shower, plenty of pillows and blankets, and replacement toiletries for pretty much anything you'll need. There is also a "guest pantry" with a fridge on the second floor, with complimentary sodas and water, and space to leave leftovers for your restaurant adventures (of which you will want to have many!). We could control our own thermostat, and housekeeping took care of the room while we were out during the day.

  The couple greeted us to their lovely well appointed home and treated us like close friends or family but gave us time to unwind and be together by ourselves whenever we wanted. The food, beverages, presentation, recommendations and actually everything was certainly ideal! THey even had coffee mugs with the B&B's name on them and a B&B cookbook of Montana B&B's which we bought. Tme mattress and bedding top rate also :)

  The photo of the B&B doesn't do it justice because there is virtually no landscaping. The owners seem to put all of their considerable energy into the B&B itself, but a few shrubs and flowers would help business, I think.

  The hosts, Sue and Stan, are simply excellent at providing excellence. They've built an open, well-appointed house that sits privately on the inlet. A gorgeous garden, hot tub, and walkway to the inlet draw you outside. A huge library/reading room is available for gathering outside of rooms. Each room we had, three in all, was clean, luxurious, and comfortable. Breakfast was customized for our family, and we gorged on two courses, the first of fruit and yogurt and the second of a hot, unique, egg dish whose name I've forgotten!

• -

  This is a minor, minor issue: the incredibly large bedroom right off the kitchen is close enough to hear the microwave beeping in the morning as the hosts prepare breakfast. Caution for cat people: they have two lovely dogs. We are dog people, so Molly and Maggy were great to have around.

Victor, Idaho

  This is truly a gem!!! I would say this is on of the top five places we have ever stayed and we travel quite a bit. We absolutely loved it there ! It is beautiful, modern, new, but very tasteful lodge feel. Very quiet and peaceful.

  We should have planned to stay a couple more days!

Lancaster, Pennsylvania

• +

  The great attention to detail and to make guests feel at home and welcome. I appreciated the glass of port nightcap, the willingness of Diane to make breakfast for me earlier than the other guests because of events I was involved with, the guided tour of Lancaster County covered bridges made by Diane and Scott just for their guests, the box of chocolates as a take-home gift and so much more!

  Nice little touch - welcome lavender satchel on the pillow! Extra little amenities offered on-site throughout the day such as delicious fresh-made popcorn, gourmet coffee, espresso, and other hot drinks, water and soda, wine, margaritas other "happy hour" beverages. Staff for the most part was very friendly and talkative. Bathroom was modern and clean; bed and pillows extremely comfy!!! Lemon-lavender cake OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

Calistoga, California

  The location is north of Calistoga, you need a car to get around. The facilities were comfy, clean and it was a lovely place to stay. The sheets were amazingly soft, so so soft... I took pictures of who made them to buy them. The food was amazing! The pastries were fantastic, light flaky some of the best I have had. They had coolers for us to use and places to go and see. I would stay here again.

  The Wifi was a little spotty it could have been better.

Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania

  Immaculate, spacious, beautifully appointed room with a magnificent view of the Amish Farms Every need of a guest was taken into account when they built this Inn even a T.V. in the bathroom which contained a gorgeous claw footed tub. Coffee/Tea available all day and night which was an extra nice bonus. Breakfast was beyond fantastic, breakfast room was continuously cleaned and the choice of food was beyond expectations, and all of the items (eggs, bacon, homemade sausage, cobblers were all freshly made.) We stayed in the Adult Wing which was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. And this Inn is located in a great location. Loved the Amish View Inn and will be revisiting.

Marigot Bay, Saint Lucia

  What a beautiful place to stay. My husband and I came here for our honeymoon in June and we had an amazing time. The rooms all have large windows that look onto the most beautiful view of marigot bay. Ann & Danny run the inn and live in-house.They were extremely helpful with recommendations in the area as well as lovely to chat with. You can tell that the place is their passion project by their attention to detail for their guest. They even left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our honeymoon. Our room included a breakfast of a smoothie, eggs and bacon, fresh bread, local fruit and awesome coffee! We had a relaxing stay in this beautiful place. It is truly a gem and we highly recommend it.

  The property owners were extremely pleasant, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was super delicious. The view was absolutely picturesque and the location, totally convenient. The cleanliness of the place, definitely worth mentioning. Even the taxi driver who regularly works with the property to transport guests was helpful, friendly and reliable.

  The host met me upon arrival, and she was pleasant. I entered Apt B and was VERY pleased with the space. Very clean, cool (the a/c was already on), smelled great and was sooo much more than I expected. The neighborhood was quiet for being so close to the airport, the bathroom was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I even recommended this location to a friend who stayed the night before and they too were very pleased. Overall the location and property are TOP-NOTCH!!!

  We LOVED the room. It was perfect in size, view, and loved the kitchen with washing machine! The staff were GREAT--so helpful, and anything we seemed to need, they had for us! Like a convertor/adapter and flat iron :) We also loved how close we were to some amazing restaurants--walking distance.

• -

  The only negative I can think of is that I was on a carb/sugar/fruit free diet, so there wasn't anything that I could eat from the breakfast offerings........although I realize that is atypical for most guests!

Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands

  Extras provided- continental breakfast, bucket of ice with waters on the beach, daily fruit skewer and sorbet, evening appetizers but the pool

  Property spread fertilizer on day one....it took several days for the pungent air to clear. We could not use the pool or our patio because the smell was so strong on the property. Had management addressed it, it would have been forgotten in this review ....free cocktail? dinner? anything to compensate for the inconvenience

Cabarete, Dominican Republic

  Modern, well appointed and very comfortable. We only stayed one night but we strongly recommend this place for families spending more time in Cabarete. Pool area is nice; the kitchen is very conveniently organized, the rooms are large and with air conditioning units AND ceiling fans. Great balcony, balcony access sliding doors from the living and one bedroom. Safety box, one full bathroom plus a half bathroom, short walk to the beach. Last but not least, excellent value.

• -

  Nothing negative. Just important to mention that the main living area and kitchen have no AC, just one ceiling fan. The property is not right on the beach, but a couple of minutes walk. Also the parking was not inside the property but outside, nearby.

  My husband and I stayed at your resort. The complimentary breakfast was great. It adds VALUE to booking a reservation and staying at your hotel. I love the pool and the fact that it was not crowded or over crowded like other resorts/hotels. I was able to spend a quiet moment by the pool sipping on a glass of wine. Oh by the way, I loved that as well, a bar by the pool. The bar tenders and the life guard were AWESOME! The life guard was teaching a few guests how to swim. He invited me to join but I declined. However, it amazed me that despite him being busy with the other guests (teaching them how to swim), he was observant to notice my husband and I chilling by the massage area in the pool and told us that the other side of the pool would be excellent for massaging, we tried it and it was excellent. Over-all the pool staff (bar tenders and lifeguard) were very warm and engaging! The lifeguard was very observant as well. I really loved the pool area. It was quiet and the staff were engaging. Additionally, I love the complimentary breakfast (it adds value to money spent). But overall, the staff were great. The room was excellent. I plan to visit again soon. Oh! I almost forgot, the Spa was excellent! My husband and I had to book early sessions because we were checking out on that day. The ladies were very professional an accommodating. They made exceptions and came in early to service us. The lady who did our manicure and pedicure was warm, friendly and engaging. The lady who did the massage was good as well.

• -

  My service in the Coffee Shop. It was a disconnect from the other areas in the hotel. There was this one challenge, I placed an order in the Coffee Shop, I guess during shift change........because the server who completed our order did not bring all the items ordered. When asked about it, he was lost and was unaware that I had ordered the items. Obviously, the first server did not properly informed him. On that note, I would say that my service at the coffee shop was a disconnect to service experienced in the hotel. It would be an added plus if the staff were able to address guests by their names. This is done t at larger resorts/hotels, so I am sure that it can be done at Spanish Court. It is a small hotel/resort, so it would have been great if the general manager or manager would be available to interact with his/her guests during breakfast time for about thirty minutes (I am sure he/she is not that busy). Visiting a few guests during breakfast time, engaging with them and finding out if they are enjoying their stay would increase the leverage between Spanish Court and other neighboring resorts/hotels. Note all staff members assisting with breakfast were not warm, engaging and/or friendly. Over-all these were minors. Not enough to prevent me from returning. I loved the room, staff and enjoyed the facilities.

  Half glass screen on bathtub and no shower curtain so the water split out and I slipped in he bathroom. Luckily not hurt. The hot dishes selection for breakfast was not attractive.

Hoi An, Vietnam

  The best home stay ever. Hoa, the owner is intent on making your stay as instructive and helpful as possible. Insisted on us having a free Cau Lau on our last evening . Also transported us to our next accomodation on bikes so we could enjoy another Vietnamese experience? Great location about 10 min easy ride to old town and 20 min ride to An Bang beach. Best shower we have enjoyed in Asia. Hoa is just a beautiful, I suspect, very altruistic man who loves to have a chat with interested people. His mother, wife and sister are also lovely people. They deserve your support and you will be glad you did!

  Best service ever received at this hotel. Love how the staffs took care of us. Other than the service, the hotel is really beautiful and unique compared to other Hanoi hotels. Room is really comfortable with a balcony that seeks the beauty of Old Quarter. Very fine hotel in the Old Quarter, no doubt about it.

Hanoi, Vietnam

  Perfect location in the heart of Hanoi old quarter and just a minutes walk from the centre lake. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. Room was equipped with all we needed. Was clean and comfortable with a large bed and good shower. Great breakfast and great view from rooftop. Great value, we would definitely recommend.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

  I asked for a quiet room and got it. The room was very comfortable, with a king bed. The shower is tricky to use the first time, then easy. The best aspect if the central location at the heart of the city. Everything is within easy walking distance. The staff were helpful, polite and friendly.

Hanoi, Vietnam

  Its more of a business hotel . Its about 15 mins away from the frenzy and maddening weekend crowd of the Old Quarter but It was okay. Althought its fronting a busy street in front it was quite safe , theres a convenient store a few steps outside to the left of the hotel . the mall albeit it had very few branded shops ( hotel staff said its under renovation ) and starbucks is about 2 blocks away. Theres also a park and lake near the hotel . It is priced fairly , the rooms are of average size not too big and not too small . Comfortable and clean. The staff is its biggest asset , from the front desk people to the concierge to the service crew in the restaurant on the 13th floor , and even the housekeeping staff , everyone had a ready smile for their guests and they make you feel as comfortable in your stay with them as possible . Also we booked our day tour outside of Hanoi with them as well as transport service from and to the airport 😊

• -

  It would do well if they add a little more international / continental dish to the breakfast menu instead of Viet cuisine as the majority . Guests would want something like a comfort food to start their day and so something familiar would be well appreciated .

Ha Long, Vietnam

  The staff and the comfort of the room and the boat.

  The itinerary is a bit of a rush, not enough time sailing through the bay. Didnt sail to or no introduction of important landmarks so we didn't see those "famous" rocks.

Hanoi, Vietnam

• +

  From the kind welcome to the small details, Meracus 2 is an outstanding gem in Hanoi. If I would have to point only 2 things about this place (because everything was surprisingly good) it would be the its highly trained staff and its amazing “buffet” breakfast (that is actually an “all you want to order – a la carte breakfast”, prepared by a chef especially for you). Staying here was by far the best decision of our trip to Hanoi and made our experience a lot more enjoyable.

Hanoi, Vietnam

• +

  This hotel has the best location in Hanoi. Very near the hoan kiem lake, restaurants and known food stalls, shopping areas and stores (some are just beside it) Other than the location, the staffs gives the best care and service. Room has the most comfortable bed. Nothing can be at fault in the hotel.

Fujikawaguchiko, Japan

• +

  The owner, Hiro-san, and his staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner provided much information about traveling to and things to do in the area before our reservation. When arriving, he provided maps and additional recommendations for the area. The facilities are excellent value and location. The staff went out of their way to allow an early check-in after spending the night on Mt. Fuji and needing a place to rest in the late morning. I've stayed at this location on two trips and not been disappointed.

  The hotel was excellent and their facilities, too. Besides their restaurant, I also enjoyed the spa. They offered a delicious buffet breakfast in the morning. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. They went out of their way to help book theater tickets and a tour. I felt so welcome and taken care of. They made my stay a wonderful experience. The food in their restaurant was excellent and I enjoyed some genuine, flavorful Vietnamese dishes.

• -

  I liked everything at the hotel. I would suggest to have some type of concierge service for people who may need a bit of help getting around the Old Hanoi neighborhood. Buildings are narrow and many shops have the same names, so it's difficult to navigate by landmarks. However, I found the Vietnamese people very helpful and friendly with directions when I showed them the hotel card.

Chiang Rai, Thailand

• +

  Easy check in, but I had asked for a quiet room, and got a room in the front, where we heard the street noise and cars starting at 6:30 am every day. Had included breakfast of eggs, toast, juice, coffee or tea, fruit. Room was clean, large, comfortable, and had a hair dryer. Air conditioner worked well. No safe. Bathroom was dark and only same soap/shampoo. Due to asking for a quiet room quite in advance, and getting the front room, I probably would try another hotel next time.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

• +

  We only stayed here one night, but it couldn't have been better. The lobby is pretty small and plain, but our room was fantastic. Super clean and neat. Very modern. What a great value. Can't say enough good things about villa indochine. The room was quite warm when we returned from sight seeing. Couldn't figure out how to cool it down. So called the front desk, and they said they will turn it on for us. Without a doubt i will stay here again and will gladly recommend.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

• +

  Situated in the heart of Siem Reap, this hotel is just what you need. Night life around the hotel was brilliant and a 2 min walk across the road into a square with great restaurants and entertainment. The staff were efficient and friendly on arrival. I requested some extra pillows on the way out to dinner and they were here with no fuss on our return. Even though outside there was noise from how busy the bars etc were, no lost sleep-quiet. Would highly recommend the hotel and if you haven't been to Siem Reap before its place you must visit.

  The decor is a bit over-the-top, very ornate, which is not our style but really didn't matter. You do have to go down a pedestrian alley to reach it, and your first impression is that it's in a pretty grubby area. However, it's a bright spot on the street and it turned out to be a great location.

Puembo, Ecuador

  Sweetest, most hospitable couple owns this place. All the other great reviews are absolutely accurate. These people work so hard and were still so friendly. They woke up in time to serve us toast, yogurt, and coffee at 5am before our early flight. They were working until at least 10:30 the night before. Awesome rustic carpentry throughout the facility. They do cool things like grow their own vegetables, make their own hot sauce, and grow/roast their own coffee (some of the best I've ever had). 15-20 minute drive to the airport. Airport transfer $12 each way, nice homemade dinner with chicken, rice, vegetables, dessert $12 pp. They gave us free beer and fresh juice. No way they are making big profits on this place. Stay here if you want to turn a one or two night stopover into an awesome experience. So much more pleasant and convenient than Quito.

  Nothing. Wish we could've been there more than 12 hours. It is an "ecolodge" so don't expect a super luxurious room, but it is perfectly clean and nice.

  Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They treated us like family. Everything was very tastefully done, which is not surprising given that one of the owners is an architect and the other a master chef. Ask for the fresh orange juice with ginger.

From any window there is a beautiful view of the mountains, and from the restaurant - view of the Cotopaxi volcano. Great rooms with all amenities, great staff, excellent food, very good wi-fi . Lamas and alpacas are right by the windows. Fantastic property!

The kitchen is fully equipped and the location is perfect. Every detail in the place is perfect. The hosts are super friendly and helpful and the general experience is wonderful. If you read this - do yourself a favor and book here. You won't regret it (we spent 4 nights there, and if we will ever come back to Quito, it will surely be in this place.

  Jesús has created an incredible, luxury home with many beautiful details and class. The breakfast is a lavish spread of fruits, juices, coffee, tea, eggs, croissants, etc - anything you desire. The view is probably the best in all of Cuzco which can be enjoyed from the top rooms and the garden.

  To be picky, really, the only thing was that we could smell someone smoking in another room (or at the varanda) close by, but we were too tired to bother complaining about it.

  We stayed in a luxurious and trendy 80 square meter room, which of course is awesome! Staff is great, everyone was very polite and friendly. The hotel is fantastic for sure!

  Although we gave the best rating, we had a minor incident that is worth noting: we couldn't use the spa properly. The spa is supposedly a place for relaxation. However, there were two small kids with their parents using it instead as an infant pool. They were making noise, eating and even using buoys at the jacuzzi. After a while, we gave up and left the place without bing able to enjoy it.

  Good in everything. I would like to say that the staff Bruno was very kind at all the time. In addition, the decoration if full of details that's made by Maria.

  Ir doesn't have dinner buffet and neither lunch buffet, but in other hands is a wonderful hotel.

  I loved the friendliness of all staff particularly Mario at the breakfast, my son used to call him uncle. He was very nice and always checking in our son. My son got sick and many people was asking about his health. Gabriel at the main door was always suggesting places where we can visit. The hotel is very close by to the airport and even though is far from downtown the bus route 120 was at Rs3.45 which was very cheap. if you take a taxi will be 50 per way Having the falls in front of you walking distance is amazing plus the hotel staff and facilities made the trip unforgettable.

  Perhaps our room was at the lower floor and the neighbors upstairs used to make some noise

  Loved the pool and spa facilities. Appreciated the design and architecture of the hotel, very impressed !

  There was a strike on at the time we stayed there, leaving us stranded with little to do. While this is not the hotels fault, there could have done more for their guests eg hosting functions or activities.

Quito, Ecuador

  Beautiful historic hotel with modern conveniences. We walked to the main square and stopped to tour a cathedral along the way. The buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant was delicious and plentiful--fresh fruit, breads, and made-to-order omelettes. We ate dinner in the restaurant one evening and it was delicious! Loved the purified water bottle filling station in the hallway! Comfortable beds, beautiful courtyard for sipping coffee or wine, incredibly helpful staff. Oh, and amazing showers!

Ollantaytambo, Peru

  The bed and breakfast was lovely and clean and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. But the best part of our stay was the hospitality of our hostesses Liz and Paula. Liz spoke excellent English and helped us out in so many ways big and small. Paula made perfect fried eggs. Liz made excellent recommendations for restaurants and more importantly,helped our daughter get to us safely when she was stuck in Cusco airport during a strike and her hired driver couldn't make it to pick her up. After Liz made many back and forth phone calls everything resolved smoothly but only because of her help. The only tiny negative is that you can't drive a cab right up to the hotel because they are on a narrow back street (Ber charming). But as long as you know this and communicate before your stay they will help make arrangements to get you and your luggage there.

  We loved the location and the roof deck with outstanding views. They even provide blankets for sitting on the deck in the cool weather. We also loved the comfort, decor, space, and amenities in our room. There are several beautiful common areas for spending time with friends outside the rooms too. This is a beautiful hotel. And breakfast was good.

  The door locks were a bit tricky. We got a wrong number phone call that woke us in the middle of the night.

  From the moment we walked in the door we were treated like "best friends". Steve and Sharon are the most welcoming hosts that we have had in all our travels. The home is welcoming and the bedrooms are spacious and have beautiful verandas with large and well appointed baths. Nice TV lounge, good WiFi and beautiful breakfast area. We had a lovely dinner with wine and cheese and lovely breakfast. Enjoyed the true "Kiwi" hospitality and we will be back next year. Easy access to hikes, scenic inland route and Christchurch airport. Loved talking to Marilyn who was helping during the busy season.

  Great location, just a few minutes walk from the beach and shops. The room was huge, bigger than expected. The hosts could not have been any more welcoming. They also went the extra mile when we left a jacket at the accomodation, and they arranged to have it couriered to us. Could not fault anything!! Amazing stay! Brilliant value! Will be staying here again.
