The location was the perfect spot to rest after starting the hike from the Naxi Family Guesthouse. The view is amazing, a real highlight , we had a great little balcony to sit and enjoy. The room was clean and spacious, way better than other huts we’ve been in during hikes in Europe. The facilities are good, there is a good restaurant with lots of meal options for breakfast and dinner, and the tigerbucks coffee is a beautiful (albeit expensive) place to sit and enjoy the view. There are plenty of signs during to hike to the halfway so we didn’t have any problem finding it.

Beautiful courtyard, adorable dog. The room was clean and warm. Everyone at the guest house was incredibly friendly, especially the "Teacher" was well traveled and interesting to chat with. He was also knowledgeable about the Tiger Leaping Gorge and arranged a carpool to drop me off at the trail head, deliver my luggage to the end point, then bring me to Lijiang train station on day 2. I was also added to a WeChat group with the driver and the guesthouse staff, and since I don't speak Chinese, it was really helpful to have them jump in when I needed something.

The cleanliness of the room and location was perfect. The staff (ie Jing Jing) went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They also helped organize our day trips. The A/C is strong relative to most places we have stayed at in China.

Beautiful courtyard. Weather wasn’t great but the environment could not have been better. On a side street so not much foot traffic outside, but you’re completely enclosed in the courtyard when inside. I was the only guest at the time, so I had full attention from the staff as well as complete privacy besides the three workers including the landlord, who came to spend time on the property at night. I can speak Chinese so I spent time with the workers drinking tea and chatting. I could not have asked for a better stay in Dali. It was everything I imagined and more.

We had a wonderful stay at Jacky's Guesthouse. The house is located at the lower end of the village and our room had an open view out into the rice fields. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Jacky is super nice and a great host! He picked us up at the train station and dropped us off for the bus to Banna, which he organized for us. He also prepared food and gave valuable recommendations for our hike. We felt very comfortable throughout our stay and I highly recommend his place if you are looking for a nice, local experience and a friendly host.

Great position right in the pedestrian precinct of the "ancient city". Tashi was very helpful about where to catch buses to get around the city, to the monastery and a taxi back to the train station. The ginger tea was very welcome and breakfast was very good.

Great feel at the hotel, like staying with a family. They are very welcoming and joye was a wonderful host. Loves a good chat in English. The rooms were traditional wooden decor rooms but with with very modern facilities! Perfectly located in the slightly quieter but only slightly 😆 part of the ancient town. Lots of shops and facilities around you, close to the South Gate around 7 minutes walk. Masjid nearby and enough halal options

We loved our stay in Lijang. The Old Town is beautiful and the guest house was in a great location. The room was clean and very cute. The staff at Lewo Guest House were fantastic. They went over and above expectations during our stay. The staff on the desk helped us to organise day trips and getting to our next destination as well as ordering a birthday cake, too. We definitely recommend Lewo Guest House to all who visit Lijang.

The guesthouse is located within walking distance from the old town. Staff was super friendly and answered all my questions. They even helped me organise a bus ride to the tiger leaping gorge (which was beautiful btw!) Beds are comfortable with curtains for privacy. Would highly recommend this hostel!

Rose the owner is amazing, warm, funny and caring. She speaks very good English and knows what to do and where to go. The place is charming and the location on the edge of the old town couldn’t be better. This is not for those looking for corporate luxury but an authentic experience with a perfect host.

The guesthouse was very beautiful, the rooms are clean and the young lady hosting us was very friendly. The free laundry service was great, and the house dog super cute! Location is in the heart of a bustling old town. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay here.

Central location in Gaozhuang but still quiet in the night and very cosy. The host is really kind and helpful, shared lots of tips about travel and food and his knowledge of Chinese tea. Was a short but unforgettable stay!
