Guest Reviews
- Дмитрий (10/5): - Замечательная хозяйка, которая решала любые возникающие вопросы. Отель находится в отличном месте, рядом и базар, и кафе, и магазины. Советую данный отель
- 小古都的妈妈 (10/5): - 位置好,离码头近且安静。去镇中心吃饭也不远
- A Pedro (10/5): Magnífico Hotel, ayudando en todo al viajero - Hotel con todo lo necesario… Excelentemente ubicado en una calle que directamente a los muelles para visitar el lago; el Hotel está extremadamente limpio. La habitación era muy amplia, con baño privado.. para el desayuno te preguntan qué te gustaría tomar y te lo ofrecen todo en abundancia; el personal, aparte de ser muy amable, te soluciona todo: compra por ti a un precio muy ventajoso, la excursión por el Lago, el billete de vuelta para Yangon , sin que tú te tengas que preocupar de nada
- Exelby (10/5): Good place to stay at a good price. - Breakfast was served on the roof - very good fruit and juice, plus eggs etc.
Manager was very pleasant and helpful.
Location just 3 minutes walk from the boats and likewise from the night market.
Free bicycle available. No complaints.
- Jan Henry (9/5): -
- MIKI (10/5): 快適!親切!! - とてもいたれりつくせりしてもらいました!
観光の手配や、タクシー、今日は市場が面白いよ!など教えてくれたり。
また、最終日、飛行機の関係で出発が早かったのですが、朝食の時間を早めてくださいました。
また、到着したばかりの時、夜に着いて、現地通貨まだない、と伝えたら、夜ご飯代!てお金貸してくれました!!!
本当に素敵な滞在になりました。ありがとうございます。

- Thomas (10/5): Thank you so much - Owner of the hotel is so passionate and helpful. I enjoyed the stay here very much.
Breakfast at the rooftop is amazing.
Free bicycle, trip arrangements and tourists tipps.
Would book this hotel again and again :) Power shortages, but the hotel offers battery lamps and power banks for free :)
- Brando (10/5): Exceptional - Host (sorry I forgot her name) is amazing, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, attentive. Excellent breakfast, great location -- 2 min walk to boat dock, food, market, etc. Electricity is rare (as of Feb 25) and most places are still recovering from the floods in late 24, and still repairing their generators so plan accordingly. Overall not an issue as you can recharge at night. Host can arrange anything you need and for decent prices -- boat tours, taxis, rentals, etc.
- Pawel (10/5): Exceptional - Very good host even in this difficult times for the people of Myanmar she managed to keep it clean and safe helping with booking bus tickets and boat trip. I fully recommending this place after visiting over 1000 cities and staying in over 1000 different hotels/ hostels around the world.
- Bastian (9/5): Superb - Special thanks to my host. Like a caring Mom. The breakfast was one of the best i ever had in Asia. Wish you all the best😊
- Ilya (10/5): One of the best. - Very clean, very new, super tasty breakfast each day new, super nice and responsive landlord, god bless her and give her long happy life. Everything perfect.
- Evgeniya (10/5): It is the best accommodation I had in my trip in Asia! - The owner is an amazing woman - she tried to help as she could and she did it - she did everything to make the stay as comfortable as it possible! The breakfast was huge and tasty! Finally, I got fried eggs and fruits at the breakfast not rice or cold noddles as before! The shower was hot hot as I like!!! The room is comfortable and clean! The bicycles at the hostel are free to use at any time! The owner helped to organise a boat tour, buses to Mandalay, money change and with other questions as well! She gave me a charger and power bank when l needed them!!! Everything was perfect!
- Th (10/5): 5 stars - Best place in town, big rooms with hot shower. Stayed here for 5 days.
Rooftop breakfast at sunrise is plentiful and cooked personally for guest.
Free bike rent and good tips from owner to explore town and surrounding areas.
Highly recommend this place for everyone 👍🏼 All good
- Nadezhda (10/5): Exceptional - wonderful hostess. she helped me with everything: book an excursion, buy a bus ticket, order a taxi.
clean room, clean bed linen. 2 bottles of water. shampoo, shower gel in the bathroom.
very large and delicious breakfasts. It is inconvenient that there is no lamp near the bed, only overhead light.
- Salto (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is managed by a very diligent lady.
She does her work well and gives you excellent advices. You can book your activities in the city with her.
I recommend you that if you're going to inle lake as a tourist you could bring some clothes or canned food to give to the people. The situation got bad since the flooding on September, so every help will be appreciated.
- Andrew (10/5): Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for the value, cleanliness, and great service. - Very clean. Service was excellent. Property had just reopened after the flooding so we were the only guests for those nights. Manager was ready to advise and assist us to have overall great experience at Inle Lake. Breakfast on the rooftop was very generous also. At the moment they were not able to run the generator yet, so one night there were a few hours that we did not have electricity. But the manager provided portable battery lights for us to use. She still tried to do everything she could so that we would be comfortable.
- Freddy (10/5): Just what I needed - Breakfast was gook. Bike offered was free to explore the town, and villages around. Rooms are huge. A few meters away from the dock to catch a boat to go to the lake.
- Freddy (10/5): Nice & Perfect - everything was just perfect. I really nice hotel, right in front of the "port" where you can get a boat to go to the lake. They provide free bike to go around. Breakfast was really good.
- Ella (10/5): If you want to have a unique experience this hotel is highly recommended. - This is a 25 rooms family hotel, managed by Nway Tun. As soon as you meet her in the reception you get the feeling that this is your new home and almost your new family. Nway and her staff will be there for you with a big smile 24/7. She is great in assisting with planning your local trips based of knowledge only local people have and connecting you with the best providers. She is there to understand what you need before you even say it.
The hotel was renovated recently, after the September floods, rooms are comfortable and the breakfast served on the roof is very generous.
Location is nearby the big pagoda the river and the location of all the festivals.
It is very difficult to translate atmosphere to words so I will just say that if you want to have a unique experience this hotel is highly recommended.
- Ramūnas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aliaksandr (10/5): Exceptional -
- Syeda (10/5): We want to come back here - It was a very unusual situation where we got stuck in flood. The owner Nway Nway went above and beyond to make sure that my 9 month old kid and I were safe and cared for. I’ll never forget her hospitality and kindness. The ground floor of the hotel is now damaged and I really wish and pray Nway Nway overcomes the situation and tourists come and boom the economy at Inle Lake. Everything perfect.
- Christopher (8/5): Very good -
- Karin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jürgen (10/5): Good Place to be! - I really enjoyed my stay. A very rich and good breakfast, free bikes to borrow and a very good location. The owner was always very helpful and friendly. We recommend.
- Laurence (10/5): Most welcome and perfect stay. - The staff are absolutely wonderfull. Helpful and always with a smile. The room was huge and spacious and the bed comfortable. On my last day the lovely owner made me a hamburger before my flight back to Yangon. Breakfast was perfect and abundance and gets you through the whole day. Also it is near the jetties for the Inle lake starting point on the boats. Good shops around and restaurants. Markets close by. You must try the winery!!!! Well worth the visit.
Thank you to everyone at the Sandalwood Hotel…. N/A
- Jiji (8/5): Clean nice and good value of money - Clean nice and good value of money the staff was amazing and helpful Nothing all good
- Tal (10/5): Exceptional! - Wow, what a great hotel!
Where do I begin?
- The room - spacious and clean (they clean it every day + folding your cloths...), big and bright bathroom, bottles of water renewed every day, a kettle, safe box and tvt
- The unbelievable generous breakfast - great selection - you will not be able to finish it.
- The location - less then one minuet from the river, where the boat takes you to Inle lake. Also 3 minuets walk to the night market
- Huge beautiful public balcony with a great evening breeze
- The family that runs the hotel - unbelievable people - they will take care of you in such a gentle way. They found out I love coffee - so every day they would make me a pot of a filtered coffee and bring it to my room, long after breakfast.
- Reservation - they can book a boat trip to the lake, a car+ driver to take you around, and bus tickets to Bagan, Mandalay, etc.
- Atmosphere - relaxed, welcoming, Wonderful.
Thank you Nway Nway and her family - you are Wonderful :) Nothing
- Starrex (10/5): Amazing offer - I was very impressed about price/quality of this hotel.
Very comfortable, clean and good furnishings rooms with ful bathl set, clean towels, comfort bed and pillows, safe box, tv and internet.
Very, very, very exelent breakfast!!!
And 1000% kind owner and her family!
You can buy at this hotel boat tour to the lake, rent a bicycle, buy bus tickets, and use laundry.
From the terrace very nice view to the sunset.
Hotel located on the quiet street near the river, night market, and some restaurants.
I was totally satisfied to stay in this hotel. Thank you very much!)))
- Minsik (10/5): Exceptional - I love this place! I can't believe the price. The hotel is new. Room is clean and big. Breakfast was excellent. What can you ask for more? And they rent you bicycles for free! Sometimes the electricity goes out. But hey, this is Myanmar. When it goes out, it goes out.
- Anna (10/5): Perfect place to spend your time in Inle; 40 sec walk to the main pier where you can get a boat or owner will arrange a - Owner is just amazing, she will make sure you feel comfortable. Everything prepared in the room, around the place - for you. She even cooked for me the lunch box for my bus from Inle to Bagan. I liked everything!!!
- Kevin (10/5): Genuine hospitality - Truly welcoming hosts .
The property is beautifully furnished with attractive features throughout.
The room was a very good size for a single and excellent value . The breakfast is almost a banquet. Onward travel and sightseeing trips can be booked directly with the hotel .
As there is so much to see on the lake I took 2 trips , it’s an amazing place , full of daily activity from fishermen casting there nets to people tending the floating gardens and given the current political situation there are very few tourists . Their are no security issues in the area ,it is open and waiting to be discovered . The town has many hotels standing empty , when the situation improves you are likely to regret not having visited when Inle lake was at its purist .
- Nikhil (10/5): Amazing People, Great Location - Excellent location. Five minutes walking to the night food market. And five minutes walking to the boat area.
The staff, even though they did not know English, tried their best to make the stay comfortable.
I was there for four days and then my wife joined me and we continued for another 4 days. The owner ensured that we felt at home. She arranged the boats for us, helped us with money exchange, and with the bus tickets.
Everything was amazing. Great breakfast. Laundry. Free cycles to roam around. And lots of nice people around.
Inle is just getting opened. During our week at Inle, there were just two other guests in the hotel. Certain streets looked a bit risky for walking after 8pm. There were a lot of stray dogs around.
- Moazzam (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing owner, location, and hospitality. It was one of the best places I have ever stayed in.
- Agniya (10/5): Exceptional - Nice hotel with access almost to the boat station. Large rooms, hot showers, clean, towels changed and cleaning every day. A very hospitable hostess, she speaks English, helped us organize everything we wanted to do on the lake for very good money. She bought bus tickets, despite the evening time, arranged a transfer from the hotel, rented a boat on the lake and a car to Kakku Pagoda. Very tasty breakfasts with fruit and homemade banana muffins, and she also treated us to dinner. When we went for a walk at night (and the streets in the town are not illuminated after sunset), we were given a large lantern for convenience. We felt welcome and were very pleased with our choice of this hotel. Thank you very much for your hospitality! nothing.
- Maciej (10/5): Exceptional - We felt like at home. The owner Nway Nway - caring and helpful. The staff was very friendly and kind. Delicious breakfast (pancakes, toasts, fresh fruits and yummy homemade pineapple jam). Room spacious and clean.
Finally, a quick note for those who are wondering whether to go to Myanmar or not.. My advice - go. We were there several times and we have never felt unsafe. And remember: your arrival can help many ordinary people to survive during these difficult times Nothing
- Sol (9/5): Gentle increiblemente amable - Nice staff Anythings
- Michael (9/5): Superb - Close to everything and you can get all the information you need from reception.
- Timothy (10/5): Kind staff and amazing breakfast - The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They were so attentive and kind; the owner is so sweet. The breakfast was so delicious- dishes kept coming out. The banana pancakes were amazing. The location was good. Close enough to walk along the river or to get to restaurants or little convenience stores. We highly recommend this hotel.
- Claudia (10/5): Perfect quiet & very comfortable place to spend several days - The kindness , efficiency & comfort that I’ve found in this hotel really made me feel at home . Lots of space , great shower and air conditioning
Breakfast is simply amazing , a very good one plus everyday is also different
They offered me a delicious dinner because I stayed more than 3 nights , a detail that’s not usual anywhere ( check the picture 😋 )
They organised the boat on Inle lake with an affordable price , book my bus tickets to continue my trip and whatever I needed was fixed by the very kind Nwe ( owner ) , I’ll always come back 👌 Nothing
- Benny (8/5): Recommended value for money place to stay next to Inle lake! - The hospitality of the owner, cleanliness, excellent breakfast, and the best place if you’d like to explore Inle lake. It’s only 5 minutes walking to the jetty. None
- Dennis (9/5): A wonderful trip! - From the first moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the Owner with cool drinks & later on tea which was lovely . We had travelled with an elderly relative & the caring staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable & as pleasant as they could for us. They were especially attentive to our elderly relatives needs ,which we really appreciated . We had a wonderful time in Naungshwe ! The Lake tour by boat being the absolute highlight which had also been arranged for us by the Owner ..As one of the first guests to arrive this season we were treated to a complimentary dinner after our return from our boat trip..what a lovely thing to do ! We really appreciated their kind spirit . The Owner´s sunny disposition & her nothing being too much to help attitude made our stay at the Sandalwood Hotel a complete joy. The location was perfect ,walking distance to the local shops & market as well as to the jetty for lake trips. We would definitely recommend the Sandalwood & without hesitation stay there again when we next visit .It was a real pleasure ! We also really appreciated being able to benefit from an early check in & a slightly later checkout. We would thoroughly recommend it! Everything was ok☺️
