"My stay at Songyun Banshan Hotel during my trip to Dali exceeded all expectations. Perched halfway up the mountain, the hotel offers expansive views. From the terrace, you can see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and the evening glow is incredibly beautiful and soothing, perfect for photos. The room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and all the facilities were well-maintained and easy to use. The butler, Allen, provided thoughtful and attentive service; check-in was efficient, and any requests were promptly addressed. Breakfast offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options.

Dali · Shang'anli ★★★★★
"The mountain view twin room with solid wood and marble accents was an exceptionally soothing experience. The room features solid wood furniture paired with marble finishes, creating a warm and elegant ambiance, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. Opening the window reveals a panoramic view of rolling mountains; sitting quietly by the window, the gentle mountain breeze instantly washes away the hustle and bustle. A special thank you to the housekeeper, Xiao Sun, for his warm and attentive service, always responding promptly and thoughtfully to my needs. The entire guesthouse exudes a refined and artistic atmosphere, with a comfortable layout and impeccable cleanliness. Spending leisurely moments gazing at the mountains and enjoying the rare tranquility made for an unforgettable mountain retreat, definitely worth a special trip back. A heartfelt recommendation!! They were incredibly thoughtful, even providing face masks and lip balm! Highly recommended, excellent value for money! Upon check-in, the hotel prepared a handwashing gift, and the flower cakes were delicious. Plus, taking photos at the hotel is truly photogenic."
Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel ★★★★★
"The room was spacious, though a bit far from the old city, requiring a taxi. What impressed me most was the breakfast – it was incredibly rich with a huge variety of choices. The hotel surroundings were nice, but you'll definitely need a taxi to get around. They even gave us flower cakes after check-out, which was a lovely touch."

The breakfast is quite unique, and the staff are warm and thoughtful. I'll definitely choose this place again next time! Rooms book up quickly, so make sure to reserve in advance! Thumbs up! 👍 This time, I also got to experience the Torch Festival, which was a wonderful cultural event! 👍"
Erhai Lake · Jingxi Courtyard Homestay (Ideal State Branch)
"There was no air conditioning in the room, and the showerhead in the bathroom was broken! Nobody brought a suitcase when they checked into the hotel."
Dali Mi Na Duan Seaview Villa (Erhai Park)
"The views are unbeatable, and the room was spotlessly clean and beautiful – completely exceeding our expectations! The breakfast, afternoon tea, and bedtime desserts were also beyond what we expected in terms of quality and service. The private hot spring tub in our room allowed us to enjoy a truly wonderful time under Dali's blue skies, with the beautiful Erhai Lake scenery right in front of us. Our entire vacation experience here was just fantastic! Lastly, the hotel cat, Xixi, is such a well-behaved, gentle, and incredibly cute little furball! Every morning at breakfast, she'd come greet us with her adorable waddle, adding so much joy to our stay. Highly, highly recommend!"
Hotel Indigo DALI ERHAI by IHG
"I was quite anxious after reading reviews across different platforms before arriving, but my actual stay was really good. My room was arranged quickly even though I arrived early, and the hygiene was satisfactory. The facilities weren't too outdated, and the pool was absolutely stunning. Both breakfast and afternoon tea were good and met expectations. The customer service manager, Daisy, also followed up promptly. Overall, I'm satisfied."
Songyun Cliff Hotel
"Choosing Songyun Cliff Hotel in Ideal State was definitely the right decision; it's probably the best value for money in the area! The room facilities are complete and brand new, and the entire place is immaculately clean with exceptional attention to hygiene. It's also the only hotel in Ideal State with its own heated swimming pool, making it perfect for a refreshing summer escape. The resort has varying terrain, so the hotel provides a shuttle service, which makes getting around the town effortless and convenient. The freshly made rice noodles for breakfast are absolutely delicious, and the cliffside restaurant offers breathtaking views—it's incredibly photogenic! Dining there with the mountain and sea breeze creates an amazing ambiance. This truly elevates the entire vacation experience."
DALI TAOXI SECRET MANOR
"Extremely satisfied! They even upgraded us to a room with a private hot spring. My daughter loved it so much she didn't want to leave. If we come back to Dali, we'll definitely stay here again."
Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)
"The room was great, with a very stylish design. It was super comfortable, and they even upgraded our room for free. Little Dou Dou (the pet) was incredibly cute and had a really good temperament."
Honglongjing Hotel
"This was my second stay here, and I highly recommend it if you're visiting Dali Ancient City. The location is super convenient, the rooms are spacious and come with a balcony, and the flowers in the courtyard are beautifully maintained 😍. The service is also great! It's so close to the pedestrian street that you can easily pop back to the hotel for a rest when you get tired, then head back out to continue exploring."
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"The navigation was accurate; turn right into a small alley just past the uphill section on the right-hand side of the street. I booked a sea-view room with a window at the Ctrip member rate. Traveling during the off-season, the price was excellent. The front desk staff member was proactive and helped me carry my luggage upstairs. Upon entering, there were three beautiful, somewhat bored but adorable cats in cages. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, who, though we only exchanged a few words, radiated elegance, warmth, and generosity. Both the interior design and the outdoor garden of the hotel offered a striking contrast, vibrant colors, a strong exotic vibe, and lush greenery. The bedding in the room was comfortable, and the bathroom featured a smart Toto toilet. It's essential to book a sea-view room; the mountains are visible as soon as you open the door, and the view is stunning from the window. It should be even more comfortable in winter, with lazy, warm sunshine greeting you early in the morning. It's not far from Dali Old Town, about 900 meters away, a little over a ten-minute walk. However, be prepared for an uphill climb on the way back, which helps with digestion and provides good exercise. The breakfast is a set meal, just the right quantity and well-balanced. The butler's exclusive service was especially heartwarming and thoughtful. Due to my medication, they specifically arranged for me to be served breakfast first. Such attention to detail truly shows their quality. If you get the chance, this place is definitely worth a visit."
Dali Harbour Hot Spring Hotel (Dali High-speed Railway Station)
"Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy. Location: Convenient transportation, very close to the train station. Service: Good service attitude."
ARANYA Resort Hotel
"The service was excellent. They arranged airport pickup and drop-off in advance, and someone proactively helped with our luggage both upon arrival and departure. The room had a more expansive view than expected; we could see Erhai Lake the moment we woke up in the morning."
Dali Dianxi Quanxi Seascape Garden Homestay (Erhai Park Branch, Dali High speed Railway Station)
"Great value for money! The room was spacious and the facilities were very comfortable. The front desk service was excellent; they were able to help with everything. There's also a big, fluffy cat! The front desk staff were very beautiful and their service attitude was exceptional, speaking very gently and politely."
Dali Xiadu Seaview B&B
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The room is so beautiful. The view from the window was amazing. Very clean room. Love it so much. Really recommended 😘😘"
Days Inn by Wyndham Dali Erhai Park
"The room was definitely on the small side. The location was a bit inconvenient; it's close to the train station, but quite a distance from the old town and main attractions. On a positive note, the rice noodles served at breakfast were pretty good."
