Guest Reviews
- Ole (8/5): -
- Yuqin (10/5): -
- Katrin (8/5): Cozy and passion for detail - Very cute, passion for detail
Perfect location and very close to the lake Room was a bit small but sufficient
- Tamara (7/5): Recommeded if you don't need a full time reception - Conveniently located at the heart of the village and only a few steps to the Sun Moon Lake ferry point. They have a common area with tea/coffee and a shared fridge as well as a water refill station. When I arrived, thw doors were closed. I called the number that was given, but no one replied. Took some time until someone came to let me in. Make sure you have a local sim/data if you want to stay there!

- Timothy (10/5): - We loved this place, can’t speak more highly of it! Stunning guesthouse in a perfect location right by sun moon lake. The room is large, clean, comfortable. Great bathroom, amazing shower. Comfy bed. The garden area is lovely, and there are so many cute little design features about the place that you can tell there has been a lot of attention to detail. Good communal kitchen area too. The staff are so nice and helpful. It’s the perfect chill place to stay in sun moon lake. Nothing
- Timothy (10/5): Perfect - Everything Nothing
- Kei (8/5): -
- Jos (10/5): Heerlijk ontspannen verblijf - Alles. De locatie was perfect, alles op loopafstand. Schoon en comfortabel, eigenaar vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Niets
- Jennifer (10/5): - Super Ausstattung und perfekte Lage. Die Gastgeberin war jederzeit zu erreichen, sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Nichts.
- Julia (7/5): -
- Chung Yu (9/5): 交通方便,而且整體風格龍貓工業風感,很舒服。 - 住宿地點超棒,坐巴士客運到水社走幾步就到了,很讚。
店門口就是租單車的地方,可以直接租了就騎去遊日月潭,方便。 房門的隔音有些不佳,但還行,因為白天很累想睡,睡死了就聽不到。
只是會聽得到隔壁開關門的聲音,他們進房門後就沒什麼聲音了。
- Robin (8/5): - The location is amazing! The door has a gap so if the people in the room next to you are loud its a problem

- 語仁 (10/5): - 位置很方便,無論是面對中興停車場或是無名早餐兩側都有出入口。高CP值。入住三人房,空間寬敞乾淨。晚上可以到茶老爹吃飯,吃飽後再到蔣公碼頭與涵碧文學步道散步看星星。隔日停車優惠只到中午12點,不過後續很多腳踏車租借都有提供免費車位,停車通常不會有很多額外的成本。

- Selina (10/5): - Amazing cute place to stay. Loveliest staff, incredible facilities
- Aviv (9/5): - גסטהאוס חדש דנדש בעיצוב של סרטי מיאזקי!
מיטה נוחה, שירותים מרווחים ומקלחת מרווחת.
מיקום של דקה הליכה מהחניון הגדול של סאן מון.
שימו לב שיש כניסה תחתונה מכיוון החניון- ואחת עליונה מהרחוב העליון. היה לנו קצת קשה למצוא את המקום בהתחלה. יש שילוט אבל הוא נורא קטן.
יש דלת שקופה עם טשטוש קל ממש בין המיטה לבין השירותים והמקלחת - לא מפריע, אבל רק שתדעו.
- Lea (8/5): -
- Melanie (10/5): - Had a wonderful stay. We felt very welcome from the start. The bike rental in the same building was very handy. We loved the Totoro themed room. Room was also very comfortable, best mattress we slept on in a while!
- Jiajun (9/5): -
- ichun (10/5): 是個很舒適的民宿,有陽台 樓下就是7-11 床好睡 浴室蓮蓬頭水流夠強 是一個好的住宿地點 - 有陽台 地點佳 沒有

- Mary (9/5): - Lovely host, very helpful and welcoming.
The rooms are big and comfy, everything is very clean.
Bike rental right next to the hotel, and you get a discount there too.
Great location for biking around the lake. It was very loud at night as the rooms have bad insulation. You can hear all the other guests and we got woken up by people coming back at 3am.
- 呂 (10/5): -
- Nora (7/5): Sehr zentrale Lage, schönes Zimmer aber ringhöriges Haus - Sehr zentrale und praktische Lage, grosses und angenehmes Zimmer trotz fehlendem Fenster, Sauberkeit Sehr ringhöriges Haus

- Katia Ploy (10/5): -

- Yu Yun (10/5): 民宿位置超級好,走出門旁邊就是便利商店,對面就是特約停車場,生活機能非常方便。老闆和服務人員態度親切,有問題都會馬上協助處理。房間空間寬敞、乾淨又舒適,休息品質很好。期待明年參加美利達單車嘉年華時能順利再預訂入住! - 地理位置 整體都很棒
- Akihiro (10/5): 最高 - スタッフもとても親切に対応して頂き、フレンドリーに接して頂きました。
室内も、綺麗で快適に過ごす事が出来ました。 場所が、少し分かり辛い所

- Katie (10/5): -
- Dee (10/5): Great place to stay - The check in lady was extremely helpful with everything we needed. Lovely room. Good value for during the week. Very clean room. Would happily stay again Nothing
- Friederike (10/5): - Sehr freundliches und herzliches Personal. Uns wurden Restaurants empfohlen und Gutscheine für einen Fahrradverleih geschenkt.
- Anne (9/5): - Great location with good amenities and common areas. Friendly and welcoming hosts who were very accommodating to ensure a wonderful stay.
- 伯郡 (8/5): -
- Janine (8/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt, wir würden wiederkommen. - Sehr gute Lage zwischen Busbahnhof und Pier. Es waren alle wichtigen Örtlichkeiten innerhalb weniger Minuten erreichbar.
Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit und standen für Auskunft und Tipps zur Verfügung. Es war alles wie beschreiben.
- Liz (9/5): Very nice experience - Nice coffee which was free. Also free bottles of water. Quiet and staff very helpful and kind.
- Natasya (8/5): -
- Jonas (8/5): -
- Mischa (10/5): - Een bijzondere en gezellig plek om te verblijven. Een aanrader voor een kort verblijf, aardige gastvrouw.
- Sabrina (10/5): - Great location, such a cute Totoro theme and lovely hosts
- weishin (10/5): - Other than being hard to find at night, the stay was excellent. The hotel was cleaner and nicer than we expected. The next door 7-11 certainly added much convenience to our stay.
- Steffi (9/5): - Zimmer sehr schön im Ghibli/Totoro-Style dekoriert. Zimmergröße völlig gut. Küche im UG gut ausgestattet. kleiner Garten im Hinterhof, worüber man auch direkt an einem 7-eleven landet. (sind noch 2 weitere sehr nah!)
Personal sehr freundlich. Bushaltestelle (für Busse aus/Nach Taipei oder Taichung fußläufig erreichbar) Zimmer ohne Fenster (war aber an sich für uns ok),
Erwähnenswerteweise das Bad: mit Glastür und nicht überall Milchglas, über das dekorierte Totoro-Abteil konnte man der anderen Person beim Duschen zuschauen (nur als Info, falls sich jemand dran stört)
- Thomas (9/5): Friendly, clean, quiet - Friendly, helpful staff
Very clean
Nice original decor
Great shower pressure
Window room was more private - away from stairs and the rear entry (unlike balcony rooms) A bit hard to find the entry in the dark (have to walk through a closed bike store)
The small sign for timing house was nearby but not right at the entry. We had to call the phone number to work it out.
Bathroom door is transparent, but not facing the bed so not a big deal.
- Tristan (10/5): -
- Kilian (9/5): - Sehr persönlicher und netter Kontakt zu den Gastgebern. Die Lage ist gut. Kaffe hat geschmeckt, sehr sauber. Der Eingang ist etwas schwer zu finden. Die Schalldämmung könnte besser sein.
- Valentin (10/5): Le lieu est exceptionnel. On se croirait dans un rêve tellement c'est beau et bien entretenu. -
- Kei (6/5): - The facility's small entrance is located next to a 7-11 convenience store, across from the Sun Moon Lake Shuishe Zhongxing Parking Lot. There is also an entrance at the address (No.123, Zhongshan Rd), but the sign is so small and inconspicuous, and I had a little hard time finding it.
The host was very friendly and provided me with some sightseeing tips. The entire facility seemed to be themed around the world of My Neighbour Totoro, and a great deal of thought had gone into the design. My room was very unique, and the installation expressing Totoro's family was so cute.
However, to be honest, I wouldn't recommend staying here. The room smelled like a toilet, and it wasn't easy to sleep. The air conditioner was also very loud. As others have mentioned, the thin walls also contributed to the noise. The smell and noise were so bad that I considered sleeping in my car in the parking lot.
- YI MEI (9/5): - 住宿點超級方便。
- YI MEI (9/5): 以前去日月潭都自駕且住在緊鄰湖邊的飯店, 這次搭台灣好行並住在遊客中心附近, 覺得更有趣且極方便;另, 以前覺得搭船無聊, 這次嚐試搭船,蠻不錯的(老闆有提供便宜船票) - 1.住宿點超讚, 交通、坐船、用餐、逛街...等都超方便, 且旁邊就是超商
2.房間乾淨、雅緻又舒適, 裝潢很有格調
3.好幾個公共空間, 都佈置得舒適又貼心, 老闆真大方 有蚊子, 但還好沒有叮我。
- 心忻 (6/5): -
- Nadine (10/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal alles sehr sauber Nichts auszusetzen
- Ditte (8/5): - Lovely guest house with friendly staff. Check-in is only possible before 18, and check-out is usually between 8 and 11, but I explained that I had to catch the bus to Alishan at 8, and staff arranged for me to check-out before 8. :)
There's no elevator, and rooms are on the 2nd floor, so the guest house is not suitable for those with limited mobility or heavy luggage.
There's 2 entries, one of which is very conveniently located next to a 7-eleven.
- Sophie (9/5): Super logement, bien situé et propre. - Le logement est très bien situé (proche de l’arrêt de bus) et la déco est moderne. Tout était propre et bien rangé. La personne qui nous a accueillie était très gentille et nous a donné des conseils pour notre séjour. Elle propose des réductions sur le ferry et la location de vélo, plus avantageuse qu’ailleurs. Il n’y a pas d’ascenseur si vous avez des gros bagages, c’est faisable en faisant attention surtout dans les escaliers à l’entrée arrière.
Les chambres sont peu insonorisés donc on peut entend les voisins qui se douchent très tôt…
- Prachratana (10/5): Clean, comfortable, good service - Good service, CEO (Timing) is so cute Nope
- Sandor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thierry (9/5): Superb -
- Tony (10/5): - Good
- Ling (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wannasiri (8/5): Very good - Donna is very informative, the room is clean with big bathroom. Unfortunately, we didn't get to walk in the garden but it looks amazing. Location is splendid, close to bus station if you travel by bus and the pier in walkable distance. The sounds is penetrating outside but nothing other than that! Amazing experience.
- Gordie (9/5): Superb - Close to the bus station. Staff is very helpful in allowing us a room right after arriving before lunch.
The room we booked has no window, as we are out most of the time and that we just needed a room to rest. The room is clean and comfortable. Air-conditioning is a little noisy
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anh (9/5): We had a good time there, the location and service was great! Would recommend. - The location was great, a 1-minute walk (even with suitcases) to the main bus station. The staff was very friendly and helpful. She gave me a quick intro of everything inside the place and even recommended places to visit. They have a little Japanese garden with a swing that was very pretty, too bad we didn't stay for long so not much time to chill there. The front of the place was a bicycle rental shop with a little sign that said Timing House, so it gave us a little hard time to locate. Rooms aren't very well soundproofed.
- Monrudee (9/5): Superb - friendly staff, convenient location, clean room Almost transparent glass in the toilet can make guests feel uncomfortable. A bit difficult to find the hotel as there is a bike shop in front of the hotel. There should be a clear sign so guest can find the hotel easily.
- Keisha (8/5): Very good - The host is super nice and friendly. They speak English as well. Location is perfect. The hotel is comfy and homie.
- Kerstin (10/5): Exceptional - Very special setup and friendly staff. Location is perfect to explore the lake. —-
- Bartosz (10/5): great place - Very helpful owners - we bought tickets for the boat from them (with a discount), we could also get help with booking bikes (including electric ones). We also got a lot of recommendations on what to do. I think they can be very helpful in organizing attractions in Sun Moon Lake.
We were also given the opportunity to check in earlier, which we thank you for.
The Totoro movie-themed room was great.
Great that we also received a postcard for free - we collect them from every place we visit. I would introduce a soap dispenser - it's better than disposable soap.
PS. The bathroom has a transparent glass (but it's on the side) - it didn't bother us, but it might be uncomfortable for someone.
- Jessica (8/5): Very good -
- Wilma (9/5): Superb -
- Eunice (8/5): - Great location - front entrance is through a bike store, the back entrance leads to the bus terminal and the ferry terminal. Staff was helpful and provided recommendations for touring the lake and food options. The rooms were Totoro-themed and spacious. Sound-proofing was not the best, but sufficient for a good rest.
- Mike (10/5): - Staffs are friendly and helpful.
- Khiam (10/5): Exceptional - Design

Staff Nothing
- Shuang-yin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ives (10/5): best place to stay at the sun moon lake - super friendly staff, modern and clean room, comfy bed, free coffee and tea, overall a great experience. there are signs that mold starts to form in the bathroom
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 優點:交通方便,價格實惠,親切友善
缺點:房間沒有窗戶、隔音不好
- Jun (8/5): - A cozy little place
- Jui Lin (10/5): - 乾淨舒適,地理位置方便
- Arden (9/5): Good time at Timing - Great base for exploring Sun Moon Lake, with the option of renting bikes from the shop in front. Room was spacious and comfortable, with a large shower and plenty of space for us to stretch out. The host is super friendly and we appreciated the common room with its supply of free snacks and coffee. Everything closes pretty early here so it was useful to be just around the corner from the convenience stores. We found as there were no windows, the room we booked could get a bit humid coming home at the end of the day (although this is hard to avoid in this area!).
- Sophia (10/5): Exceptional - A very nice place especially for couples
- Lena (3/5): Comfortable and cheap but expectations not met. - Location It’s nothing like the photos. Hard to find.
- YAT SHUN (10/5): - Nice
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Rather simple hotel in Anping, only a few hundred meters walk from Fort Zeelandia. Not far away is a free parking with sufficient space. The rooms are spacious, apart from the bathroom. Good beds. Airconditioning is pretty loud. All in all good value for money.
- Fabio (8/5): Very good -
- Wei (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly owners, cute Totoro-themed hotel, very convenient location to the pier and bus station. Nil
- Guermantes (8/5): Very good -
