Ubud | Indonesia :: Puri Garden House Review
In Ubud, there are plentiful Balinese homestays where basic accommodation can be found for $10 (fan rooms with shared bathroom) as well as luxurious 5 star hotels with all the amenities, such as the Four Seasons.

Ubud | Indonesia :: Sania’s House Review
Tucked away in a small alley off Monkey Forest road, Sania house is an authentic jewel of a homestay.

Chiang Mai | Thailand :: Gongkuew Hostel Review
About a 30 minute walk/15 min bicycle ride from the pubs and restaurants, located in the north west corner of the old city, Gongkeuw Guesthouse was a vast change from bustling Bangkok.
