At only 14$ per night, we thought this was one of the best value hotels during our stay in Myanmar. The Indian origin staff were friendly at check in and spoke very good English. The room was wooden - Swiss chalet style! - and well decorated. It had an attached bathroom with very hot water (great for the cold nights!)... More

One of the few things that the Lonely Planet has correct about Myanmar is the pushiness of the staff at this hotel for their treks. After checking-in I was invited to sit down with one of their staff to hear about the treks they offer. This was fine as I was planning on doing a trek. After the talk however,... More

No complaints about the quality of the trekkings they arrange here, but with a little more work you can find other company's that arrange trekkings as good a the trekkings here, but half of the price. The hotel is very, very, very bad. It's dirty, there were no lights in the bathrooms and it seemed to be like that for... More

I don't know of anywhere else to stay that could help you arrange your sightseeing and trkkingfrom Kalaw! People are very nice and friendly but the place could use a deep cleaning and sanitizing! But that's what you get from Myamar for low budget or you would have to pay couple hundred a night to a corrupted government ran hotel!... More

We stayed at Golden Lily's for 3 nights. The room was clean at first glance, but you recognize pretty quick the difficulties. Flush doesn't work sufficiently, so try before "bigger" use, otherwise you got a problem for the next hours. Water in general isn't working that often, sometimes you can't wash all the soap away while showering. But I can... More

They apply very low price (even if it's the double than one year ago), you can have a double room for 7$, the room is very simple and not very clean, some mouses in the walls, but the worst is the shared bathroom, very dirty, and the toilets flush don't work !! We had to go to a restaurant to... More

The accommodation was very basic, but for what we paid ($14) it was great value for money - clean, hot water, large rooms and great staff. We chose this place because we had heard their guides on the treks were the best - and we got so much more than expected! Our guide, Robin has been leading treks thru the... More

A friendly guy took us to the guesthouse upon arrival by bus to Kalaw at 1.30 AM. At those time you don´t have time to look around. This is a budget place, and I didn´t expect much for 14 dollars. The rooms are ok, but the bathrooms need a little upgrade. No other problems. Breakfast is average. Anyway. This place... More

We were staying elsewhere but having read that this place offered good treks, went out of our way to visit. We only had time for a day trek. We were shown lots of inviting photos of things we saw nothing of on the actual trip. We were told we would have an experienced guide who knew a lot about the... More

We only stayed one night so it wasn't much of a problem but really didn't enjoy this place. We landed here naively because they were at the bus station when we arrived and offered clean cheap rooms and excellent trekking 'i am recommended in the lonely plannet' (more like mentioned for their pushy attitude). We couldn't be bothered looking around... More
