3 of us booked a room and stayed there on 4 May 2013. We stayed on 3rd floor and the room is spacious, clean and well decorated. Love the firefly and we were really lucky to witness the sunrise and a totally breathtaking view of sunmoon lake. The breakfast provided also exceeds our expectation and they asked us for few...

Rooms were splendidly decorated, clean and had all the amenities we needed. We booked 4 rooms (Red, Green, 302 and 303). They were all so lovely. The owners made us feel so welcomed from the moment we stepped in. We got this homely feeling here and it was so unlike staying at hotels. The sunrise walk was awesome and only... More

I love the layout of the room. We stayed in the green room next door and it was beautifully decorated. The bathroom at one end, the bed at the other. A sofa in the middle where we lazed on while watching tv and eating supper. It was quite noisy at night though, we could hear motorbikes passing by and the... More

Pros: Lovely big room (we stayed at 3rd floor family room) with small balcony, red tea, 1 min walk to Shuishe pier, sunrise hike, Wayne & wife - kind & helpful owner Cons: None that I can think of... I don't want to talk about the place, the morning sunrise hike - these are all in the review. I want... More

Like: Great hospitality and sunrise hike Dislike: Noisy arcade opposite the road affecting sleep. After reading the many good reviews about this place, we decided to try it out for ourselves. It turns out that the owner and his family/staff are truly friendly and hospitable. They shared with us interesting things to do around SML and around Taiwan when we... More

Spent two nights in Laurel Villa's Black Room. The room was small (the TV was around a metre away from the sofa) but adequate with all the usual amenities. The room was clean and very nicely decorated. There are also packets of high quality (ask the owner about it!) red tea, oolong tea, and milk tea. The room was opposite... More

Owners Wayne and Jiaying always do their best to provide excellent service and make you feel at home. When my friends and I first stayed there, they welcomed us warmly and chatted with us. They also took the trouble to understand our itinerary so that they can advise us on the travelling time and methods. Location of Laurel Villa is... More

My friends and I have always stayed at Laurel Villa whenever Sun Moon Lake is part of our itinerary to Taiwan. Laurel villa is always the number one Minsu that we will pick or recommend to our friends who are going to Sun Moon Lake. To me, they are more than just a Minsu. Wayne and his family are like...

The minsu boss is very friendly and is very willing to share his vast knowledge in preparing tea. Though we missed the sun rise due to misty weather, the overall experience staying in the minus is marvelous.
