An excellent location with fabulous views – however the fact that the bungalow/rooms are arranged on the side of the hill means that there are a lot of steps to and from reception! The bungalows are all set in a garden which is well maintained. The reception is very basic and like the restaurant and the rooms is rather shabby... More

42 detached well furnished and clean bungalows with minibar. All have good views as they are set on the hillside. No aircon but you don't need it up there. Food indifferent, ok if you like chicken bone curry. Staff and service both good but too many steps up to the restaurant etc. Mosquito coils provided and that's not common in... More

If you're a trekker, you might like this spot. As a sightseer, not much going for Kalaw never mind Hill Top Villa. Room was basic. Some floorboards have been replaced but large gaps with nails sticking up. TV wasn't working. Don't plan to read, do postcards or journals as the light is just too poor. I was in the original...

The hotel is situated near the top of a steep hill overlooking the town of Kalaw and has great views in most directions. There is nothing of interest close to the hotel unless you like walks but most people seem to use Kalaw either as a base for trekking or as a stop en route to somewhere else. The hotel... More

i have stayed here for just one night. i really like the place but still it is cold at nights not enough heating. the breakfast is poor. no wi-fi :/ on the other hand, big room, big bathroom. the rooms are clean. good sunset! They are good at thinking little details like the thanaka in the bathroom. :)

Beautiful location on hill looking down into valley. Gardens excellent. Rooms were dark but well equiped apart from TV choice with no concessions to English speakers other than a dreary Singapore-based news channel -very localised. Avoid eating in this hotel. Dreary dining hall, indifferent dinner and by far worst breakfast in Myanmar! Staff notable by absence!

The room/villa was spacious, well-equipped, comfortable and the location on top of the hill overlooking the valley with Kalaw very good. The gardens with roses and junipers plus many well-known garden plants could be in Hampshire with labels on every bush or plant. However, we were very thankful we had a large lunch that day as we thus could choose... More

The view from the hotel entrance is vast and breathtaking. The rooms had no electric jug therefore if you freeze at night you'll be unable to get up and make a hot drink! The rooms we stayed in we're thatched walls and had no fireplace.. Nite was really cold!!!! Breakfast was disappointing. Dinner at the restaurant had to be ordered... More

Lovely individual bungalows set in beautiful gardens on hill overlooking the town and the ridge it is on. Rooms adequate size, beds comfortable, scope to pay for wooden fire if cold. Food very limited and disappointing, especially dinner but also breakfast, given that guests have little alternative given distance from the town. Service also disappointing, for example, we only got... More

We all loved this place. Quiet, peacefull, but very cold. No heat, oc ourse, but each room had a wood burning fire place that would be lit by the staff for $1.00. The grounds are exquisite with gardens flowers and many trees,most of which are labeled. The sunset from our patio---all rooms face west was lovely. THe staff was most... More
