The room was really nice, with a shared bathroom and living room area. Everything was made out of wood, which gave the place a really luxurious and cosy feel. While I was there, my legs did get bitten by some bugs, although I’m not sure whether they were bedbugs or from being outdoors and walking around the lake. I did notice that other guests have also mentioned possible bedbug issues, so it’s something to be aware of. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were comfortable. The location was also convenient, as it was close to the lake and the bus stop, making it easy to get around.

Room location is 2-3 mins walk from lobby. Place is 5-10 mins away from the tourism bus drop off point. Room is ok just that walls are very thin.

It was raining for the entire two days while staying there. The staff was super nice to help out buying food. The facilities and the cleanness are however not up to standard.

Location wise 👌👌👌. Pretty quiet coz it's a 10min walk away from the buzz of the town. Love the over all ambiance of the place!!!! Had two nights, and on the 3rd and was abt to check out, i noticed red itchy spots on both of my lower extrem. Bed bugs i guess. But other than the bed bugs, i sooooo love the place!!! 😍😍😍

Everything was okay, hostel was a little bit far from the bus stop but nevertheless still a good location. Breakfast was not for us because we are used to having heavy breakfast meals and vegetables and a sandwich isn't enough for our big appetite. I would certainly recommend the hotel and be back to stay longer.

About 5-7 minutes walk from the Sun moon lake drop off area, which was convenient. The room was a lot bigger than I expected, did not expect to have an additional bed as I was travelling solo. With another travelling companion it would be really worth the price. There was even an entire outside area! Staff were friendly, and also provided breakfast, which was nice. The location of the room is about another 2-3 minutes walk from the reception, and was quiet and relaxing even in the day. Only concern might be that the rooms might feel abit old (being a wooden cabin and all) and eerie at night, since there is not much lighting. Also WiFi is not very good in the room

Spacious room after being upgraded, very much appreciated. Good and quiet location, comfy beds, delicious breakfast, friendly staff. Couldn’t have been asking for more for our 3 days/2nights stop at the Sun Moon Lake
