"I loved everything about this hotel. I was a senior travelling on my own, so based on its excellent reviews and appealing photos, I booked for a long stay of 11 nights. I intended to use the hotel as a base for day trips rather than having the inconvenience of constantly moving to other places. I wasn't disappointed - the staff were extremely helpful in booking me into interesting activities in the vicinity of Kalaw, plus arranging transport. I wanted to explore the local area on foot - the manager spoke excellent English and assured me that I could walk safely anywhere in the town. She pointed out places of interest on a map and I enjoyed many walks in the pleasant climate (maximum 25degC in late October). Every morning I had an excellent breakfast in the garden - the young waiters really looked after me. The gardens at Hillock Villa are beautifully maintained and they also grow their own fruit and vegetables. Kalaw is a fascinating place with its alpine setting and British history."

"The hotel is quite good for the price I paid, the wifi was working very well and the staff was very nice. One thing I'd mention though : I booked for 2 nights, knowing I will be arriving at the hotel early morning with my bus and wanting to be absolutely sure to have a room straight away, instead of having to wait until the previous person checks out. But when I arrived at the hotel, they had considered that my booking was canceled because I didn't show up the previous evening. After 15 minutes of confusion, they gave me another room for the first night and I had to check out and check in in the room I booked later in the afternoon. So, if you're traveling by overnight bus and planning to book a room for that same night, I'd advice you to send an email to the hotel to tell them not to give away your room as you'll arrive early morning."

"We arrived at 4.30am but our room wasn't booked until the following night, however, they kindly let us check in immediately & we only had to pay 5 dollars each which is more than fair as it was much cheaper than paying for the full night & it meant we could get some sleep straight away. Breakfast had various choice of eggs & tea or coffee. Staff were very friendly & helpful & recommended things to see & do. Good location, Kalaw is a small town so everything is within walking distance. It is a mountain town so although sunny during the day the nights are extremely cold. We found the rooms cold at night but there were spare beds & spare blankets already provided in our room which helped. Our friends stayed in another hotel in Kalaw & told us their room was also cold at night so I think this is common everywhere in Kalaw. However the staff do everything they can to accommodate you. The rooftop has a good view of the town & sunset. Overall a good place to stay."

"We had booked 3 nights at this B n B just last week, and were very comfortable in the "homestay style" accommodation. Running hot water in the taps was appreciated as Kalaw is cool... Breakfast was fabulous, with fresh homemade bread and again fresh homemade banana bread, plus home made jams, eggs of your choice, pancakes...avocado from the garden... Marc also guided us re hikes and cycling routes...he ordered in dinner for us as well, when were too tired to eat out... Stay here if you are looking for value for money, a good breakfast and warm hospitality. "

"We could simply not leave this place! We initially booked one night and ended up staying for a total of four. Thitaw II is located about a kilometer out of town, a nice 15 to 20 minutes walk to Kalaw center, so it offers a nice, calm and serene atmosphere. Surrounded by nature, Mark and his lovely team make sure you feel right at home with delicious home cooked breakfast every morning and helpful tips. If you don't feel like going out for food, they'll have it ordered for you. All in all, a lovely and oh so comfortable place to stay in Kalaw. "
