The team was super nice, kind, and helpful 👍

The hotel is managed by a very diligent lady. She does her work well and gives you excellent advices. You can book your activities in the city with her. I recommend you that if you're going to inle lake as a tourist you could bring some clothes or canned food to give to the people. The situation got bad since the flooding on September, so every help will be appreciated.

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 is sparkling clean and new. Staff go out of their way to make our stay a wonderful experience. Great view from the rooftop bar.

This was probably my favourite stay in Myanmar. Everything about it was perfect and we didn't want to leave. The family were amazing and so accommodating. We had dinner here every night and it was always a massive treat. The mother is a fabulous cook! They can arrange boat tours and taxis for you. Our favourite part was sitting on the balcony and enjoying the peace and quiet; the best location in Inle Lake. We will definitely be back here and miss it already!

Beautiful location (both buildings and gardens) and our rooms were wonderful. Loved having a bathtub and the commitment to zero plastic. Thoughtful touches such as mosquito coils and books to read. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful. Homemade touches such as Shan noodles and banana bread. Dragonfruits grown on the property

A more than magnificent accommodation! The rooms are housed in beautiful bungalows, with huge spaces for sleeping and in the bathroom, including a large desk and a beautiful outdoor patio with chairs and tables. The breakfast is nothing short of magnificent! In addition to the option of having toast with jam, fried or omelette eggs, and pancakes, every day a different fresh fruit juice is provided, along with the opportunity to taste a local dish for an authentic Myanmar breakfast experience! The lady managing the property speaks good English and is super helpful in organizing boat trips, visits to the Red Mountain vineyards, and bus reservations. Some bicycles are always available free of charge to explore the area comfortably. Upon arrival, the lady and her family (all super super super kind!) provide a useful map of the area with many helpful tips, including where to go for dinner with local food. Without a doubt, the best accommodation of my trip to Myanmar, I was really sorry to have to leave this beautiful hotel. And if I ever manage to return to Inle Lake, I already know where to stay because I hope so much to meet this spectacular family again!

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.
