The decor and design were fantastic. The renovation of the historic building is quite unique, and the courtyard is breathtaking.
The housekeeping service was excellent, and any requests were promptly addressed.
The breakfast was also delicious, featuring some unique dishes.
I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yunnan.

GGuest UserThe room was fantastic! I booked it specifically for the hot tub, which is on a small outdoor balcony. It gets plenty of sun and offers great privacy. But once I checked in, I was really impressed by the room's layout and decor. My favorite part was the washroom area. It's connected to the small balcony, but there are not only black blinds but also a curtain in between, which completely blocks the view from the opposite hotel, ensuring excellent privacy. There's also a curtain between the main room and the washroom, so you can fully enclose the washroom as a private space. The bed was incredibly soft and comfortable, and the curtains were excellent at blocking out light. We ended up sleeping in for two whole days! The toilet is a smart toilet, and the room comes with a smart speaker (Xiao Du). The projector screen is huge, making for a great viewing experience with the lights off at night. The lobby decor is also very tastefully done. The owner is very friendly and accommodating, quickly fulfilling any requests. They even help with luggage during check-in and check-out and offer luggage storage. After we left, we forgot something, and they messaged us to confirm. Most importantly, it's very close to the Ancient City, Sanyue Street, and the Cangshan Zhonghe cable car. The restaurants downstairs are also delicious! What a treat!

TThalia1594This stay was truly wonderful, offering a beautiful minimalist design that was both exceptionally clean and comfortable. The highlight was the stunning view of Lake Erhai, which made the atmosphere so peaceful. I was also very impressed by the hospitality; the owner and staff were incredibly helpful with local advice and even assisted in ordering delicious food for me. From the great breakfast to the sincere service, everything was perfect.
PS. The cat is so cuteeeee
GGuest UserThis hotel is located right at the beginning of the ecological corridor, not far from the high-speed train station. The corridor itself is quiet and uncrowded, with some really nice scenery. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was incredibly spacious with a fantastic view – you can literally pull open the curtains and watch the sunrise! I'd definitely consider staying here again if I'm ever back. Erhai Lake is a place that truly deserves to be savored.
MM322358****The butler service was exceptional; they were highly efficient and enthusiastic in addressing any issues. The environment is pleasant, and you can take a taxi right to the entrance, where parking is also very convenient. The room itself was clean and beautiful!

GGuest UserThere was a bit of an odor on the ground floor, and the drainage wasn't great. Also, people from outside could easily enter the hotel. However, the facilities were excellent, and the view was lovely. On the downside, the surrounding roads were a bit run-down. The service attitude was fantastic! We also had dinner at the hotel, which came with a discount, a complimentary travel photoshoot, and a handmade gift. The kids absolutely loved their stay.

CChuanshanyiThe hotel offers a fantastic view, especially from the rooftop common area where you can see the beautiful Erhai Lake – perfect for photos. The owner is incredibly thoughtful; they offer a pick-up service, and even reimbursed our taxi fare when we arrived. On the second morning, they brought breakfast directly to our room at 10 AM since we hadn't gotten up yet. We enjoyed breakfast in the room while watching squirrels hopping outside – the environment is truly wonderful. The owner also runs a tea business and even gave us some tea as a souvenir when we left. They truly made us feel at home.

CcharlottemomoThis past May Day holiday, I brought my family to Dali for a vacation ⛱️ and chose this South France-style guesthouse located in Haidong, where we stayed for 5 days.
From the moment our trip approached, the guesthouse thoughtfully set up a chat group with a butler who updated us on the weather and reminded us to pack appropriate clothes. Upon arrival, they helped us with our luggage and kindly informed us about afternoon tea 🫖 and late-night dessert 🍮 times, which was very considerate.
The guesthouse is located in Wenbi Village, a popular spot recently, and it's not too far from the airport, making the location quite convenient. Since the village is on a hill and parking spaces are scarce, the guesthouse arranged for our rental car to be parked at a nearby resident's lot and provided a shuttle service for transfers.
Traveling with a child this time, his favorite part was the large bathtub. Every evening, he eagerly looked forward to a milk bubble bath 🫧, and he also loved the Basque cheesecake for afternoon tea 🍰.
If I were to offer some suggestions, it would be to provide baby slippers, toothbrushes, and toothpaste for rooms with children. Perhaps also offer some parent-child interactive activities, like making flower cakes, which would be an even nicer touch. Also, the breakfast could be a bit more varied; after staying for several days, it got a little repetitive, haha. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!
TTraveling Family from GermanyWe had a very smooth experience from arrival to departure. The hotel organised a transfer from Dali Railway Station, which worked perfectly. Upon arrival, we were immediately helped with our luggage. Check-in was straightforward and worked without any issues for foreign guests. Basic English is spoken, which is fully sufficient for communication.
The hotel itself is small and built in a beautiful traditional Chinese style, with a lot of wood and a charming inner courtyard with warm lighting in the evening. The rooms are duplex-style: a cosy living room downstairs and a rustic bedroom upstairs, plus a balcony with a lovely view of the surrounding mountain peaks. The design feels authentic and calm. Bathrooms are slightly lower in height, so guests above 1.80m might find them a bit tight. Cleanliness throughout the property is excellent. Despite the traditional architecture, all modern comforts are available: fast and stable internet, strong heating in both living room and bedroom (important in winter), and a generally very comfortable atmosphere.
The location is near the Three Pagodas, just outside the main tourist development zone. You can walk to the first restaurants within minutes, and there is even a local restaurant directly next to the hotel. The Three Pagodas are within very easy walking distance, and from there you can conveniently use DiDi or rental scooters to reach other sights around Dali.
Breakfast can be taken either in a small dining room or delivered to the room. It is local Chinese style, adapted to the region, very tasty and served with a smile. Great coffee is available.
Checkout was simple, and the hotel arranged our return transfer as well. We even received a small souvenir gift per room, which was a very thoughtful touch.
Overall, this hotel is a real highlight in Dali. It feels like stepping back in time, but without sacrificing modern comfort. It is ideal both for exploring the main attractions and for simply relaxing in a quiet, peaceful setting away from the busier city areas.

Very Good
GGuest UserA perfect, relaxing, and reassuring B&B stay from start to finish. The owner was incredibly sincere and warm, providing gentle and attentive service with great attention to detail, making us feel very welcome and cared for. Our check-in arrangements were made in advance, and the on-site registration was quick and hassle-free, ensuring a smooth process without any delays. They were always eager to help with any difficulties we encountered. Not only did they explain the local customs and culture, but they also planned a reasonable itinerary with timings, ensuring we had a wonderful time without feeling exhausted. The room was clean, cozy, and spacious, with therapeutic and elegant soft furnishings and thoughtful touches everywhere. The bedding was skin-friendly and soft, making for a truly enjoyable and restful stay. The breakfast was fresh, fragrant, and rich in flavor, with carefully selected, fresh, and substantial ingredients—the quality was truly impressive. The environment was quiet, secluded, and elegantly styled, offering a perfect experience. It's definitely worth repeat visits, and I sincerely recommend it to travelers everywhere.
