Laurel Villa B&B

The location was perfect, very classy design that stand out differently from the rest of the hotel and stay in the area. The owner (host) of the stay (Mr and Mrs Wang and Wang Ma Ma) were very friendly and helpful to ensure that our needs were met. We observed that they did not serve same breakfast, so some good choices of variety day to day. The stay offered a 5 am sunrise cycling tour around the south of the lake free (just pay for your own bicycle rental), where there are some nice scenic spot to take picture of the tranquility of the lake which looks different. Mr Wang will personally lead the tour, and he explained and told stories of the lake that my family enjoyed. He will also help to take very beautiful picture for the for the family. There is no parking lot at the hotel, but the host will paid your vehicle parking for a nearby car park for the stay which we were grateful. There are some house rules, and love the rules so that everyone can be considerate and have a pleasant stay. The room are very interestingly designed and well maintained. We enjoyed the comfy stay and yet felt at home.

All aspects! All staff were incredibly accommodating and informative. Gave plenty of itinerary suggestions (both touristy and less touristy options) as well as restaurants. The owner takes you on an incredible bike ride before the sunrise to get the best views of the true sun moon lake. As well as information on different locations on the bike trail. This is a must if you come here! Wide selection of foods for the morning breakfast and the entire Villa is both tasteful and comforting. (This is my only 10/10 rating on booking.com to date)

Beautifully renovated and very clean. Great location across the street from Shuishe pier and a short walk from the main bus station. Breakfast was plentiful and had good variety. But the best thing about this place is the staff. The owner leads a wonderful sunrise bike tour of Sun Moon Lake in both Mandarin and English. Definitely worth getting up early for it! Also, the staff helped us book a paddleboard lake tour that turned out to be my kids' favorite part of our 2-week trip around Taiwan. The staff was very attentive and had great lunch/dinner recommendations.

My friend and I would have been very disappointed with Sun, Moon, Lake if not because we stayed in Laurel Villa B&B. Wayne from Laurel Villa B&B provided an excellent service for me and my friend by taking us on a 4km bicycle ride from 5.25am before the break of dawn. We saw a very different side of Sun, Moon, Lake early in the morning with no crowd at all, with fresh air and amazing scenary and sun rise. We feel at home staying in Laurel Villa B&B. The room is beautiful and very comfortable, though a chair and a few more hooks in the toilet would be good. The breakfast is yummy and we miss the dog, 长毛！

The staff at this hotel are amazing. Our hostess gave us great advice for visiting the main attractions and Wayne, our host, must be an institution at Sun Moon lake as every morning he takes guests to a beautiful short cycling tour. We truly appreciated their commitment and the guidance they provided. Breakfast was authentic and good. The central location was easy to find and easy to reach.
