Oh my gosh I just loved this place. I only stayed one night and I wish I would have stayed three. For the cost, this place is a dream. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve had so far in my week in Myanmar - and I stayed at a few much more expensive hotels. They are eco-friendly so no plastic water bottles. Instead they give you the metal reusable water bottles. I forgot to request laundry to be done so I hand washed a bunch of stuff and they gladly put it in the dryer and folded it and didn’t even charge me. And this one is my favorite .... I’m a coffee freak. Everywhere in Asia you can usually get coffee but they never have cream. It’s always milk. Kalaw Vista had real cream for coffee!!! And their coffee was great too. I went to dinner in town and they have their own tuk tuk which is handy - 3000 kyats roundtrip. The breakfast was very yummy. I cannot fault this guesthouse in any way. They are wonderful. I can’t wait...

I have rarely been so happy to see a friendly face at a bus stop in the middle of the night. Thank you so much for even offering this service and picking us up with a smile despite the early morning hours!
The rest of the stay was flawless as well. Probably the most comfortable bed we had in Myanmar, good laundry service (although a bit more highly priced than in other places we’ve seen along the way). The breakfast is fabulous and the two owners are absolute legends. Splitting their time between Myanmar and the US, one of them an electrical engineer and the other one deeply involved in community work throughout the region, this place is an amazing place to catch a breath...
Read moreWe felt at home as we've never felt at home before in Myanmar! The owners Cho Cho and Bo Bo have created a cozy home home and invite you to share food and stories. Having lived in the US for a long time, it's a nice mix of Myanmar tradition and Western living style. They also bake bread almost every day and it's delicious (it's real bread, not some wobbly white toast stuff). It was the only place where I was really full after breakfast AND it was delicious! Rooms are clean and tidy, hot water works - but to be honest, we didn't spend time in our rooms but were almost all the time in...
