Definitely the best place we've stayed in Myanmar. Located in the quiet area near the temples, just a short stroll from the restaurants. market and city center. The owner was very helpful and fluent in English. The staff was really friendly. We were given a home-made leaflet with the information about the cycle tours, the boat hires and interesting places...

We turned up here at 5am having arrived way earlier than expected on the night bus from Yangon and although the guesthouse was closed up, one of the staff members was sleeping in the reception area and let us in so we managed to snooze there free of charge for a couple more hours. We had booked a double room... More

Glad we scored rooms here at May. Book early, especially in high-season. One of the best places we've stayed in at Myanmar, they even provided a neat cycling guide for places to visit around Nyaungshwe. Staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. Plenty of space to hang out and do laundry. Walls are a bit thin, so you hear your neighbours... More

Had a single room for 12000K a night. Excellent staff and service. Very helpful, I forgot to buy a souvineer on a boat trip but the next day the young man who works there arranged for a boat driver to pick it up for me at no extra charge. Breakfast was good, best fried egg I've had in the country.... More

My single room with own bathroom for 12 USD was very clean and good size. The bathroom was clean and very large. It was probably the nicest place I stayed at in Burma, so I can recommend it. The owners were also friendly. The guesthouse is located in a nice garden were a good breakfast is served in the morning.... More

Managed to obtain a single room without a reservation, which in this area is an achievement. The staff are really helpful and sincere. Despite having a budget room with shared bath facilities I was more than impressed. The whole place is immaculate and has great facilities in particular, piping hot water and good wifi connection. The breakfast is comprehensive and... More
