Convenient Location with Friendly Hosts”
The hotel is right by the Suishe Pier and a few mins away from the bus station and Giant bike rental store. The owner and her son are extremely friendly. They waited for us until after the hotel opening hours because our bus was delayed, and still greeted us with big smiles. The room is clean with heated toilet seat, USB socket and modern decor

Parking services is poor”
They don’t really HAVE a parking lot, they just will pay the fees if you park your car in the specific parking lot, and they won’t promise you that you can get a place to park your car. So, if you’re unlucky, you may not have a space to park. And they won’t help you.

Highest Degree of Excellence”
Laurel Villa is by leaps and bounds the best B&B experience of my considerable travels. To begin the interior is outstanding. A modernist design with warm, solid wood furnishings and accents. There is not better place to relax after a bike ride around the lake. The room was impeccably clean and well presented. The finishing touch, towels folded into graceful swans adorning the bed. Best of all was the service. An early morning bicycle tour to see the sunrise over the lake, helpful suggestions for good places to eat, excellent coffee, and a fresh breakfast of both western and local dishes (served on the alfresco patio if you like). If you come to Sun Moon Lake your trip would only be complete if you stay at Laurel Villa.

Only for discerning sophisticated travelers desiring a local, peaceful experience”
Granted that the picturesque locations are all occupied by the traditional hotels, this minsu (B&B) was a gem of money well-spent. Extended my budget for this but had unexpected returns through the Sun Moon Lake experience curated by the hosts. 1. Local breakfast: homely and locally-sourced ingredients breakfast 2. Warm and cozy aesthetics down to the smallest detail: the choice of Grohe showers to the space design to the smell of the soap 3. Possibly the best location for the best sceneries in Sun Moon Lake 4. Peaceful atmosphere: no noisy kids * bonus: the 6am bicycle tour (no commission earned by hosts) led by Mr Wang to the scenic spots to experience the spirit and essence of Sun Moon Lake was an invaluable bonus. The hosts understood the peaceful spirit of the place, and sought to create a conducive and mindful experience for their guests seeking a connection and rest.

comfortable home stay ”
we have no regret to extend our stay to 2 nights in this comfortable modern b&b in sun moon lake. The staff and elderly female owner whom we met were very helpful and provided us with valuable information for us to get around. The breakfast is simple but adequate, though it is a b&b hotel, it does not look like one typical type, it is a modernist design with warm, tastefully decorated minimalist wood furnishing. It is only a stone throw distant to Shuishe Wharf and perhaps 3 min walking distant to Shuishe Visitor Ctr where the bus terminal is located. If you intend to come to sun moon lake, you should consider this b&b as your first choice of stay.

Luxurious B&B homestay with a personal touch”
Pros Feels like stepping into a friend’s home instead of a B&B or hotel. Comfortable bedding and Hans grohe bathroom fittings. Owner Mr Xu’s personal commitment to brief and acquaint guests with the facilities and his personal bike tour of Sun Moon Lake is unbeatable. Cons Locations and shops tend to close early. Rooms are small but I understand that sky high real estate prices in SML (and incidentally room vs size) are considerably higher. Worth every penny tho and will revisit again.

Japanese style in a lovely setting”
We had only one night, and wished we had more. Laurel Villa is one of the most tastefully designed places I have ever been in, always a pleasure to walk in the door and be greeted by that exquisite sitting area with Chopin playing in the background and the warm greeting from whoever was there. Wayne took us on a 5.30 am bike ride, which was a lovely way to see the lake when all is quiet, and the only others around were photographers waiting for the sunrise. There were a few Chinese tour groups later in the day, but they didn't dominate the experience - the Chinese government has tried to punish Taiwan by allowing fewer tour groups, so it's probably a nicer experience now than 2 or 3 years ago. Loved the gondola and the little Buddhist temple by the lake, and the walk through the rainforest up to the bigger temple. Would love to come back and explore more of this beautiful gem .

Great place to stay for your Sun Moon Lake trip”
Our family really enjoyed staying here. We rented two of their rooms. The hotel has recently been renovated and seems brand new with a modern style. It was extremely clean, as well. We were looking for something to do around the area and the owner offered to take us on an early morning bike tour to see the sunrise. Although we could not see the sunrise due to the clouds, it was a great experience and allowed us to hear a lot about Sun Moon Lake. Breakfast was made in the lobby area and was a nice variety of homemade dishes. We only stayed for one night but would have liked to stay more.

Fantastic space and helpful owners ”
We love our 2-night stay at Laurel Villa, which is spotlessly clean, spacious for a quad room and the owners were so generous in sharing tips on where to visit, eat and have fun. We couldn’t join the morning bike tours but enjoyed cycling on our own by the lake. Love the convenient location and will be back again!

Great location and friendly owner!”
We had a great time at Laurel Villa. Owner was friendly and willing to accommodate our timing despite he need to wake up early on the next day. He organised a bike tour in the early morning and we enjoyed a lot! Breakfast was great too though just 清粥小菜 but it was good enough! Will definitely back to this place again!

Excellent service! Hotel's boss was very kind to bring us to a cycling trip that gives a different perspective of Sun Moon Lake. Delicious homemade breakfast.

Wonderful experience”
Like my of the reviews mentioned, hotel is located at the best scenic spot. Is clean, feels posh at a very reasonable price. Mr. Wang also arranged a cycling trip which covered many scenic places where is left untouched by many tourists. Would recommend anyone to stay at this very pleasant hotel looking for convenience (restaurants, convenient store, shops, scenic) and a dash of luxury

Lacking warmth from the staff”
When we first arrived, the owner (lady) was shocked as it was still early. I didn’t expect to check in either as it was only 11am. However, she seemed to be telling us that there’s nothing much to do at Sun Moon Lake and we will finish the ferry tour in an hour which we did not. We had fun and walked around alot, for perhaps 4 hours or so. When we came back to check in again, she was telling us about the morning bike ride. We had a long day of travel and was tired so unsure if we would like to wake up to join them at 6am. She became rather unfriendly when we said we would consider and was sarcastic actually. Didn’t like that. The location is opposite the pier, which is good. Don’t expect any views though. Room is nice and simple but the toilet has no door but a glass. Breakfast was bad. I had much better food at other lower price minsu. Would not come back again.

Wonderful experience ”
This homestay has just completed its renovation. The rooms are clean, beautiful and well-equipped. Price is slightly higher compared to those older homestay, however, it is well worth. The owner is very nice and will bring you out for to watch sunrise and tell u more about the town. I even felt sad to leave the place. Good experience and highly recommended.
