• Dilapidated

  Dilapidated I didn’t stay here (preferred P Guesthouse), but did check out the rooms – Cold, damp and depressing – Maybe a nice place to have a beer/food, but I’d recommend P Guesthouse for sleeping

• good & bad

  Great location overlooking the lake. Rooms ok. No English speaking staff so food orders a bit hit & miss. Not service with a smile either, but great banana pancakes. Would recommend as location great for chilling.

• Dingy single rooms, bland food

  I stayed here for a night before heading over to P Guesthouse, and found the shared bathrooms really dirty and inconveniently located, and the single rooms were very rickety, uncomfortable, and had very thin board walls. It got cold at night, especially since there was a big chunk out of one of the walls! The food is very bland, and the watery curries and tea leaf salad don't resemble anything I ate while in Burma. Definitely prefer the rooms and facilities at P Guesthouse.

• Clean rooms and knowledgeable owner

  After leaving the Pornpilian Riverside Resort early (dirty), we checked into the Burmese Inn and stayed in one of the bungalows with air-con. Modest but clean digs, in a good location. Chatted with the Austrian owner who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and Thai politics. He even very kindly drove us to the bus station early in the morning. Would stay here again.

• Cheap and ... well ... cheap.

  Rooms in the long boathouse are very basic, but towels and toilet paper are included, as well as a bottle of water for B100. The bathrooms left a lot to be desired. Food in the restaurant was very good, especially some of the Burmese dishes. The location is great for visiting the Mon village across the lake. Agree with the comments regarding the management. Early one morning we arranged for a boat trip on the lake through the manager. She told us to meet her at the restaurant at 4:30. We showed up, but she didn't. She was asleep in her office. After I woke her up she frantically made a call, then told us that there would be no boats available until almost 5:30 (just as the sun was setting). We told her to forget it (no doubt she had no trouble doing this) and went to the bridge where we hired a boat and driver on our own for B100 less than what the Burmese Inn was asking for.

• A little too laid back, otherwise OK

  I've stayed there several times. The 180B rooms are not so bad at all though I agree the cheaper ones are a bit manky. The restaurant simply isn't the best, with a pretty limited menu. The best restaurant to eat at if you're staying here is a little bit down the road on the left hand side towards the P Guesthouse, run by a gregarious Singaporean who tries to fool the unwary in believing that he's a Native American. The Burmese Inn could also put a bit more energy into marketing kayaking trips and treks. P Guesthouse is much better for this. The not-to-scale map of the area, designed by the Austrian husband of the owner, is a very good tool for finding your way around the district.

• Some challenges

  I have stayed in a lot of backpacker-type rooms/bungalows in Thailand. Unfortunately I would rate my Burmese Inn room an F. It was dirty, there was no sink and tons of open air misfitted joints allowed the mosquitoes a free buffet. The restaurant area is not so bad and dinner was okay. Staff were friendly but maybe a bit too laid back to be trying to run a hotel. Needs a good clean.
