Very helpful staff, green territory, near center of the city. Room clean and comfotrable. Doesn't feel any electricity problem. They organise our tour on Inle lake

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 .

I liked the hotel. The room is large, everything is clean, breakfast is normal. There are problems with electricity, like everywhere else, but the hotel has solar panels and a generator. Not very good wifi. The staff is wonderful - they organized boat and car excursions to Pindaya and helped us buy bus tickets to Bagan. After visiting this hotel, I now think that the main wealth of Myanmar is the people of this country.

Everything about the hotel is good, especially their level of Customer Service. Everyone has been nice and helpful on our stay, I recommend this hotel if you stay in Taunggyi

The location is so beautiful! I spent hours watching the light change over the water and photographing which flowers bloomed at different times of day, or relaxing on the balcony. The cooking is the best I've had in Myanmar by far - really tasty dishes, they can accommodate whatever dietary needs you might have. I really recommend the fish! They can also organise everything: pickup from Nyaungshwe by boat or car, visits to the villages and workshops, and tours into the hills. Easily the highlight of my 18 days in Myanmar! Also the room is vast with windows on 3 sides. It's nicer than the photos seem to show, in my opinion.

Such a beautiful place, good room with outside balcony to enjoy, perfect breakfast. It met all my expectations.

Everything was wonderful. Very nice people, replying to the messages I was sending them prior to the day that we had made the booking. Trying to give us information and showed a lot of support because we didn’t have anything planned and needed some assistance. Excellent breakfast!! EXCELLENT!! A very nice clean place where the power generator was on and we had light and internet. Internet excellent!!!! There is nothing we didn’t like. I only wish people choose this place when they come to Lake Inle for their visit. It’s great location great close to restaurants and easy to go to the boats and go for a tour. I wish them all The best from my heart!

Excellent food, excelent staff and excellent location.

A Perfect Stay at Viewpoint Ecolodge – 5 Stars! This was our third visit to Inle Lake, but our first time staying at Viewpoint Ecolodge – and it exceeded all expectations. The hotel is easily accessible by car, has secure parking, and is located very close to the Inle Lake jetty, which made getting around incredibly convenient. We stayed in the Family Suite on May 4–5, and it was perfect for our family. The suite includes two separate rooms, each with its own private bathroom, and a connecting door that offers extra privacy – ideal for two families or friends traveling together. The balcony offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The room was spacious, clean, uniquely designed, and most importantly, very comfortable – we truly enjoyed our time there. The suite also featured air conditioning and 24-hour electricity, which is a big plus since many hotels in the area do not offer round-the-clock power. This added comfort made a big difference for us, especially as a family. Breakfast was a highlight – a delicious mix of traditional Shan dishes and international options, all beautifully presented and accompanied by freshly brewed coffee. One of the most memorable experiences was the floating swimming pool – peaceful, beautifully designed, and reached by traditional Intha boat, which made it even more special. The entire setting, especially the private lake, created a truly relaxing atmosphere. We were fortunate to receive a complimentary late check-out, giving us extra time to enjoy the lake. The hotel arranged a silent, stylish, and comfortable speedboat, making our lake tour smooth and relaxing. Finally, the staff were exceptional – always friendly, helpful, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome. We highly recommend Viewpoint Ecolodge to anyone visiting Inle Lake. It offers a perfect blend of comfort, local charm, and natural beauty. Definitely a 5-star experience!

I have been coming to Gypsy Inn for more than a decade because I love the hospitality of this wonderful family. It is a good location if you want to be close to the pier where the boats leave to Inle Lake. The room was spacious with high ceilings and I got clean, white bed sheets and towels. Windows have mosquito nets - I had not a single mosquito in my room. You can book tours and busses to Bagan or Yangon / Mandalay at the reception. The room rates are among the best in town and it used to be THE guesthouse backpackers hung out at before NyaungShwe was flooded with hotels. Nowadays many hotels are closed but the Gypsy is still up and running. If you are on a budget and look for a familiar atmosphere then come here.
