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.

The proprietors were wonderful. Their hospitality was exceptional. They do all they can to accommodate their guests. They served us tea and snacks, visited with us ( even through Google translate), and walked us to restaurants they recommended to make sure we got good food and drinks and we're happy. Though not fancy, it is so special and our favorite . The location is perfect too.

Excellent location near old town, in a secure gated area. Our room was spacious and included an alcove with a view of the city, a couch, and even an extra bed (which we did not use). Host, especially "Mama," very attentive.

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!

Great location with amazing views from the room. The owner is super nice and speaks English. The dinner and the breakfast were very good! There are parts of the house that looked abandoned but the rooms are very good. Views from the rooms and the roof are the best

Clean facilities, great people, excellent atmosphere. People do speak English here. It's everything you'd expect from an international youth hostel. They also help you to arrange day trips. I went to Shilling and to Jiuxiang Caves, both excellent locations.
