Full Moon Guest House

Best thing about this hotel is the hot water showers. Bedsheet and towels are a little dirty and yellowed. Fast wifi and great for solo travellers. I arrived in the early morning and tte hot shower was really appreciated in the 9 Celsius temperature.

Not far from city center, amazing buffet for breakfast, really calm. The place has not a lot of charm but is perfect for a couple of days staying. The beds are really confortable and everything is clean (bathroom, kitchen etc). I really recommend to spend some days in Kalaw rather than running for the 3 days trekking at Inle Lake (full of tourists). You have plenty of trecks available in Kalaw (half day, one day) and the view from the mountains is really resourcing. The path is really easy if you use the Maps.me application. Have a nice stay!

When I first came to the „full moon guesthouse“ I met the very kind and understanding owner. Even though the Corona restrictions had already been in place he could accept me as a guest. I got a basic room for a really fair, special prize. As I had to stay for a long time due to the „COVID-19“ circumstances I became friends with the owner. He allowed me to use their fridge and the kitchen to cook my own meals. The breakfast was rich and especially the pancakes were extremely tasty! Breakfast time was also flexible. Unfortunately the service generally became an issue and caused frustrations! I needed to ask for everything that I needed (towels, cleaning the room, refilling drinking water,....) Even though I kindly enquired for something the staff did not act. It needed a few attempts until they helped out. The way they cared about hygiene was alerting too. Bathroom looked more or less the same after they „cleaned“ them. The dining area was also constantly dirty. Another concern was the noise (people talking loudly, staff playing music, long lasting prayers from the nearby monastery), especially early in the morning. This can be usual in those areas of the world. It just made up the whole level of frustration the longer I stayed. During the cold or rainy season the construction of the guesthouse may be a little unfortunate. The building is very exposed to the weather despite roofed areas. The wind blows through the sitting / dining areas and kitchen. Floors, cooking areas as well as kitchen surfaces get really wet if it rains. Again it may take time and enquiries until the staff cleans up those „puddles“. Overall I am very thankful and appreciate that they could accomodate me! I wish that they are offering better services when they are fully opened. It seems like it would need some training of the staff.

Excellent value for money and super-friendly staff. We arrived at 4am from Bagan and they offered us a different room to sleep in until ours was ready - at no extra cost! Breakfast was great too, lots of choice and everything was freshly prepared.

The only pro for the guest house was rooms are quite spacious. Other than that, nah.... One of the room was very cold since the wind is going into the rooms. Not very clean towels and bed sheets, can visually able to see the stains. Towels are rough to use them on ur face. No shower cap provided. When we came into the room, the toothbrushes are inside the rubbish bin and we have to request new from reception. No phone line, need to walk down the stairs to contact anyone at the reception. There is no lift, very uncomfortable for the old people. Favor is too biased towards foreigners, can be recognized from the way the staffs conversed at the dining room. We really had an unpleasant stay. Not recommended.

We really liked the early check in and the delicious breakfast. However during our stay several staff members were sitting just in front off our room door and chatting very loud all day long. So it was difficult to have a rest after the night bus.

Prices are resonable Breakfast is good But facility is average.

Really lovely place. I give 6000mmk for a night and the room is really good enought for me only can hear some voice from outside. This place is special. U guys should try it. I laready stay in here for 3 days. ???
