Chansar and Lois were great to us at Desert Moon. They picked us up from our bus although it was very late, they stayed to collect us which was lovely. They made us feel very at home and it was great to have the restaurant upstairs as we were a little further out from the town area. The place was... More

Truly good place . The caretaker drove all the way to main junction at 2 am so that we don't face any problem finding this place . The rooms are basic but with all required amenities in a budget hotel . a truly homely feeling with clean and hygienic environment . The best part is the roof top restaurant ,... More

What a jewel Desert Moon Guesthouse is, great location, peaceful and only about a 10-15 min walk to the Fort. The views from the roof top deck are fabulous. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated, good size, very clean and well maintained. The building is quite new and being lovingly care for. Lois and Chanesar do their uptmost to make your... More

The rooms were new and for the price category excellently maintained, probably because of the Kiwi lady Lois running the guest house. The building is quite new and fits well into the city, the guest house is located in a quarter ("colony" in India) outside the walled old town (not talking of the fort itself here). The price/value ratio of... More

I highly recommend Desert Moon to families looking for great value, clean rooms and a little distance (10 min walk) from the hubbub of the Jaisalmer Fort. They organized everything for us including a camel safari. We're extremely appreciative to the friendly and helpful staff. They even mailed my sons jacket (which he forgot) back to us in Delhi for...

Jaisalmer was my favorite city in Rajasthan, and I think this guesthouse had a lot to do with it. It had a peaceful atmosphere that is hard to come by in India. I had a lovely single room with a view of the cenotaphs. There is also a terrace facing the cenotaphs with many chairs and floor cushions where you... More

They arrange for free pick-ups and drop to railway and bus stations. The desert trips (camel ride) are also arranged for you. The place is little out of town say around... More

I just stayed for a night in the guesthouse. Free-pickup from the trainstation and a warm welcome from the owner and his nephew. Online reservation without problems possible. Clean room, comfortable beds. A 20 minute walk from the town center. The only downside is that the reastaurant is without a cook at the moment and therefore has just a limited... More

The property is very nice. The location is not great. It is a 15 minute walk from the town, up a semi-deserted lane. The reviews below speak good words so I think my experience must just be a blip, due, I hope, to the off-season nature of my visit. The roof-top restaurant was closed. The room was fairy dirty, including... More
