Doris Home was the perfect, small guest house to stay at in Sun Moon Lake for our recent two night getaway. The guest house is conveniently located a short walk from the bus station and tourist information office. As soon as we arrived we were warmly greeted by the staff. There is no check in desk, instead we sat down at one of the tables in the common room/dining area and were quickly checked in. Greg, our host, also spent a lot of time talking about the local attractions and gave us a free map even suggesting the easiest way to see everything we wanted to. He mentioned that if we wanted to hire bikes to ride we could get time for free from a bike shop that partners with the guest house. The guest house only has 8 rooms, and a few different styles to choose from. Our room had a massive bathtub with enough room for 2 people and a large balcony. The bed was large and firm and the room provided plenty of space to store all our things. The sink to wash your hands was separated from the bathroom which made it nice and convenient. A mini fridge was in the room and included 2 bottles of water and 2 cans of sparkling water for free. The lobby, where we checked in, can be used any time of the day and there is tea, coffee and a water machine available for use. The highlight of this area is the 3 cats and 2 kittens that freely roam in this area. They are all friendly and the little grey kitten who was quiet and loved to snuggle up next to us was our favorite. The big cats were allowed outside before 10pm but the kittens needed to stay inside. Be careful when entering or exiting the front door as they can sometimes be waiting there to sneak away. Breakfast was provided each day. It was a set meal that included a main course and a few side dishes. The side dishes were the same each while the main course changed. The first day we had a delicious omelet that was full of vege and the second day was pumpkin French toast. The sides were a small bowl of fruit, potato salad, veget

Friendly and warm host, human and feline alike. Room is stylish with a amazing view of the nearby woods. Decent breakfast too. Highly recommended. Would love to see promotional offers for return customers, because we know we could use one. Did I mention the place is conveniently located?

Great host and lovely cats”
Well we loved cats hence we made this choice to stay in Doris Home. A totally unique and home feeling. Host was very friendly and hospitable. Host upgraded us to a bigger room at no charge. Our stay: Room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was fully equipped. Breakfast cooked by the auntie was yummy and healthy. There was also hot fresh soya served together. Self service to the drinks and filter hot water at their pantry. Location wise, it is walk-able distance about 10mins to the food, shopping, starbucks and port. Cat were free to roam around the hotel and our room. One slpt in our room during the afternoon. Overall we love Sun Moon Lake and planning to be back for Cherry Blossom season. Of course, my son kept pestering me to be back to Doris Home.

Lovely Place with great location and friendly host!”
This could be one of the best places i've stayed for my Taiwan trip. Location was not too far from bus stop, maybe 6 mins walk. Overall - Doris Home is quaint and quiet. The host was friendly and gave us a few quick tips of where to eat and walk for sight seeing. There's a total of 05 cute cats always hanging around the lobby area. Breakfast was prepared freshly in the morning, and it's almost like having breakfast at the comfort of your home! Room was very clean and spacious! Regret didn't stay for another day! They were also very kind to allow us to check out a little later (maybe 30 mins) as we set off late in the morning for the cycling track. Visit Sun Moon lake and see their sunset, it's beautiful!

5 star hotel comparable homestay”
They say you can’t find anything that is valued for money these days.. DORIS home is the exception. They have 4 cats roaming around the house, BUT, you would not expect the entire place to be so clean. Room design is really well done, modern and you won’t feel it’s like a hotel room; you’ll feel right at home. Toilet is well furnished, and is really 5 star hotel-class comparable. They provide breakfast, and you would not want to miss it. It’s a day-by-day menu, so I was served omu-style egg with potato salad and sauteed vege sides and with a choice of coffee, tea or soy milk. The last but the best part is, the hospitality of DORIS home. As a traveller, I usually feel the need to research or navigate my way, but when I arrived, I was well-received by Ah-Long, and he fill me in on the homestay and the island information together with his recommendation on the activities to do there. Pretty good huh, only DORIS home provide it so far, and far better than staying at ANY hotel.

Love the cats. Room is clean, bright, modern and nice.”
Staff is very friendly and gave me a room tour. The cats are super adorable. The black cat has a lot of energy and keeps wanting to play. The design is cat-oriented and had many tunnels/steps for cats to move freely through the house. I love the design - it uses a lot of glass to draw brightness into the house and there were a lot of cat-inspired decorations throughout the house and rooms. The stay is very comfortable, amenities were provided. The place is just a short walk from shuishe pier. I deposited my luggage in the morning before embarking on my tour to sun moon lake. Breakfast is provided and is delicious and I am enamored with the cute cat-inspired dining utensils. Would love to stay here again:) Highly recommended.

Lovely place for cat lovers. Stylist decor for modern travellers”
The place is away from the massive crowds visiting Sun Moon Lake. An easy walk of around 5-8 mins to the pier. The place is very well thought through. Rooms are spacious n toilets are big n nicely designed. The place is committed to the 5 residents cats. Very friendly cats and thank goodness the place doesn’t smell like an animal farm 😝. The owner Greg is very friendly n made some recommendations on what to do. The bed is firm n sheets are nice as the property is fairy new (jan 2017) The breakfast is sufficient but if one has bigger appetite, there are toasts to fill up the stomach. Would definitely recommend to others

Fantastic experience”
Greg was very welcoming. You know that youre in good hands. The most spacious bathroom ive ever seen. Room was tastefully done up. The lobby too. Toiletries were also tastefully selected. Breakfast was so well balanced. If theres something that i really have to critique , the signs to where doris home is needs to be a little more obvious. Greg, if youre reading this, we miss doris home already! One of tbe common topic we had on our way back!

Exceptional”
Doris Home is outstanding from both the architectural and desing points of view; the photos do not do it justice. Its location is great to visit the area, close to downtown but in a quiet street. Breakfast changes daily and it is delicious! Greg and Kim and the whole team made us feel at home; we definitely recommend everyone to stay here. Our only complaint is that we found the pillows very uncomfortable, way too thick and too hard.

Room design and facilities were nice. Have you a nice happy feeling to stay...Owner was super, explaining the locations and visiting plans for Sun moon lake.

Very clean and tastefully decorated and comfortable room. Greg was very informative about the things to do around Sun Moon Lake. Breakfast was good and it was a nice touch to have fruit provided and tea/coffee available at all times (free). Good location, near to bus stop, town and quayside. Would certainly recommend this accommodation.

The most enjoyable BnB we’ve ever stayed in!”
Doris Home is definitely the most professionally run BnB we have stayed. The facilities, appliances and interior design are all top-notch. There were so many things, big or small, that tell the tastefulness of the owner and the thoughtfulness of the staff. Amongst all the things that made us decide to extend our stay by one more night, my 18 months old daughter was so happy befriending the cats and was totally thrilled to discover all the (cat-related) details the owner has carefully crafted for the comfort of the cats and the amusement of the guests. W e will definitely return!

Best hostel ever!”
A great place to stay in sun lake moon. The whole building is brand new with wonderful interior design. Only about 8mins walk from pier and business district and you can get everything you need. Hosts are nice and helpful and dont miss the great breakfast. 10/10 for cat lovers as the cats here are so cute! You may find them wandering the corridor, sleeping in the lobby and they may even try to sneak in to the room (which is great). The only flaw will be the rather short bed, it may be a struggle for tall guys. We only stayes for one night and thats far from enough. Definitely will come back again.
