Friendly and Hospitable Hosts: The highlight of my stay was definitely the hosts, who were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They were patient, sincere, and always willing to answer any questions I had. As locals with deep knowledge of the area, they offered professional and thoughtful suggestions, from sightseeing to local cuisine, which made my trip even more enjoyable and seamless. This was truly the most pleasant solo trip I've ever had. The hotel provides not only a comfortable place to stay but also a warm, home-like atmosphere that gives a strong sense of belonging. I will definitely come back and visit again! Highly recommended for solo travelers, and it would be great for families or friends too! Excellent Location: The hotel is very close to the ancient town, within walking distance of many attractions, and the area is quiet and convenient. It's also very easy to get around with carhailing apps, making transportation a breeze—ideal for travelers who enjoy exploring freely. Well-Equipped and Cozy Amenities: The hotel has a wonderfully warm and modern decor that truly feels like home. The room is fully equipped with everything you might need, from comfortable bedding to a functional kitchen and spotless bathroom, making it a very convenient place to stay. I especially appreciated the thoughtful little touches that make a solo traveler feel well taken care of.

Had a wonderful stay at this cute inn. I happened to get a free room upgrade since it was low season. The place is really well decorated, super clean, and offers a fantastic view of Erhai -- perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff was also super friendly, offering helpful tips and were easy to chat with. Breakfast was yummy (noodles, fresh local fruit, Yunnan coffee, and more). I will stay here again when I visit Dali next time and definitely recommend it to others.

The staff was really nice and and the room very clean. It’s a hotel run by a family. We got the chance to experience the typical Dali breakfast (and it was homemade!). They were all very helpful and caring. 谢谢你们☺️

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here! The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and wonderfully cozy, providing all the comforts I needed. The courtyard was like a hidden oasis—a serene and beautiful escape right in the middle of the city. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed, making my stay feel even more special. I would gladly return to this charming place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

Perfect stay! Staff were incredibly helpful, especially DanDan, who gave us a free market tour and tour of the building- having that time with her meant we learnt so much we wouldn't have otherwise. Breakfast was delicious, as was the welcome drink, which we took as a tea set on the terrace- a perfect way to spend the afternoon after a morning of sightseeing. The location is perfect- in Xizhou town- a beautiful spot surrounded by rice fields- out of the hustle and bustle of Dali, but close enough for easy sightseeing. Beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed. I wish I was back there now!

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.
