Location was too far from everything except the island itself

Its an exclusive and safe island.

Nothing wrong with the accommodation itself, but you might find it a bit difficult to get there. We took a taxi from the airport, about HKD 230, but the driver didn't know Solar Villas and dropped us about 15-20 minutes walk from there. Not a huge problem in daylight, the helpful locals showed us the way. In any case, taxis can't go all the way, so you will have a 5-10 minute walk with your luggage.

The family room has heating and a fridge, but they are not mentioned in the info on this site. Should be updated to attract more guests. Heating is important in the winter, and a fridge is always important. Otherwise, everything was fine. Cleaning of floors and emptying of rubbish every day. Definitely better to stay here with children than in a cramped room in Kowloon - plenty of space, much better air and a beach nearby. Not a place for partying - there are rules about not making a noise, especially at night.

It is on an island, MA WAN ISLAND, so if you're an explorer, there is nothing much to do here. There's 2 convenient store but too far. The commute process is not that easy to navigate, but manageable like us who were the explorers in using google map. If you love walking, its fine. But if you have kids and you have seniors, better look somewhere else. If you're going to Disneyland, this island is not that recommendable, there are better stays elsewhere that are also affordable.

The villa itself is inside a community. You have to walk from the taxi stop going inside the villa. With luggages, you may find it not so good. But that's the only downside if you need to carry baggages. Otherwise, walking is fun since the environment is nice.

The room was big enough for a family of 4. The community was also very quiet and secluded. Bus and taxi stops are 5 minutes walk away including 7-11 and other stores.

No bidet hose (but understandable) but difficult for those used with it. Location is difficult to find and taxi can’t get inside until the villa (residential area). No cutlery provided so it’s advisable to bring or buy from outside No nearby shops or food etc but vending machines available but only cash accepted or Octopus card. Had to walk 10-15 mins until you get to shops Limited English speakers Dark passages

We stayed in a family room and it was comfortable for 5 people including child. There’s 2 showers and 2 toilets that adds to comfort.

Accommodating staff and very quiet location

Stayed in December 2024

Ma Wan island itself looks like the perfect quiet getaway but it looks to have been forgotten over the years. At one time it was clearly thriving with a beautiful park and amenities. Hopefully some regeneration will occur as it could be such a wonderful escape from the city. Solar Villas looks to be a fairly new set up and hopefully the first of a number of projects to get the island back up to it's former self. At Solar Villas itself it would be nice to have little café as there is nothing close by and the tables and chairs in the courtyard make a perfect spot for sitting and relaxing with a coffee/tea and cake and eating ice cream!

The room was a great size and accommodated our family of 5 easily. There were 2 large bathroom spaces which and a balcony. The apartment looked as if it was fairly new inside. The location was out of the main city, so therefore very quiet but transport links were good (you will need to purchase an oyster card for the metro and bus). It is a car free zone so the taxi/bus cannot take you all the way to the accomodation but it is only a short walk. Do note that this is probably more budget accommodation and for us it was perfect and although newly done on the inside it was a little rough around the edges outside. There are no fancy amenities but the accommodation provided everything we needed and I would certainly recommend it as a base for exploring Hong Kong and it's surrounding islands.

I like how quiet is Ma Wan is. Solar villa location might require a little search for first time but theres alot of convenience shop nearby and laundry shop via google map search.

You have to buy food outside before going back to the Hotel.

It was affordable. Just like other reviews it was quite far from restos and stores but 1 bus ride can take you to the nearesy 711 or cirleK. Better you buy food before you come back at night.

The room was very spacious. The kids loved the bunk beds.

1)The villa didnt have any cafe or restaurant. There is a 10 min walking distance to the restaurant. 2)The walking distance from main road to villa very darkened when we walk back to villa at the night time.

The island environment is very safe. We are family of 5, the room had 4 bed and 1 sofa bed, 3 bathroom and 3 toilet. It is also nearby beach. For transportation also very convenient. Just take bus NR 330 can reach 青衣MRT station, then can go anyway from the MRT

Not that I can think of, you can spending a day walking around in Ma Wan

Room is clean, spacious and comfortable. There are three toilets and three shower cubicles for the family room. The room can be shared by 5 ppl. You can leave your luggage at Noah Ark Hotel on the day of check-out. And there is a church right next to the villas. Walking distance to convenience stores, cafe and beach.

We check-in Late outside reception hours, and we have to collect the keys from Noah’s ark hotel which is about 15mins walk from the Villa.

Value for Money! Comfortable Stay

All are far, but a walking distance. Location is inside a residential area and taxis are not allow to drop off in front of hotel. You must walk 100 m uphill with luggage definitely is not enjoyable. There is not 24 hours front office, for night shift you have to go to Noah Ark hotel to get your key. But no information provide about this in the booking instructions. Thanks to one resident I was able to contact front desk and get my keys. For shopping some food or drinks there is a 7 Eleven at 15 min walk open till 11 pm. Nearby restaurant is at Noah ark hotel (10 minutes walk) for breakfast. For lunch/dinner are more options in the Ma wan Tung Wan Beach or few restaurants in the Park residential area near bus station/pier at 10-15 minutes walk

Room is clean and have 3 showers and 3 toilets, this give flexibility for a family of 5. Airport is relatively near only 20 minutes ride in taxi. Red taxi is the only that provide service in Ma Wan area Very quiet place inside a residential area surrounding by a park.

Quite difficult to find the premises as the guidance signs are insufficient.

The environment is good, and I also enjoy the privacy and safety.

Breakfast need to be available at Hotel.Water bottles to be given at rooms..

Biggest drawback is that Taxi doesnt drop off till the property! you have to pull your baggage all the way inside almost 800 meters… very interior location. It was very inconvenient moving the luggage to and from the room. and then again to the taxi spot. No one offers help either. No breakfast provided at the hotel/property.

The room decor was cute and attractive for a child ( my daughter loved it) liked the idea of having 3 separate toilets, wash basins and showers. The linen and towels were fresh and clean. The staff was helpful with guiding us with the routes and other information required. They even obliged to keep our luggage for a few hours after we checked out.

office is only open from 9:30 am. we cannot check out because the office is still close.

the neighborhood is nice.
