We stayed at the Dali BoMan Sea View Hotel and were pleasantly surprised by our experience. While we didn’t expect it to be located in a condominium building, this added a sense of safety and privacy. The hotel is situated on the highest floor, offering breathtaking views from the room.
The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the room itself was incredibly comfortable. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, even going the extra mile to offer us hot milk every evening—a thoughtful touch that made us feel right at home.
Although the hotel is about a 30-minute ride from Dali Ancient City by Didi, it wasn’t an inconvenience for us. Coming from Singapore, we appreciated that halal food was relatively easy to find in the area, though the best options were closer to the ancient city.
Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for stunning views, a clean and comfortable stay, and attentive service. Just keep in mind the slightly longer travel time to the ancient city if you’re planning frequent trips there.

I recently stayed at 三色云河, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The homestay offered breathtaking views that made it the perfect setting for one of the most important moments of my life – proposing to my girlfriend. The entire experience was truly unforgettable.
The host and 管家 (六斤) were exceptionally accommodating, going above and beyond to assist with all the arrangements and ensure everything was absolutely perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine care made us feel incredibly well looked after.
The property itself was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and exuded a peaceful charm that made it all the more special. It was truly the ideal place to create such a precious memory.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making this moment so extraordinary for us. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful homestay to anyone seeking a memorable and unique experience!

This guesthouse is located right by Erhai Lake, offering stunning, authentic sea-view rooms. The butler provided exceptional service, reaching out a day in advance to arrange the check-in process and recommending local delicacies. The room views are breathtaking, with Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain stretching as far as the eye can see, while seagulls and wild ducks play on the water’s surface—a scene straight out of a painting. The room is fully equipped with all necessary amenities, including disposable items for convenience. The guesthouse also features a lakeside restaurant and picturesque photo spots, perfect for capturing memorable moments. If you’re visiting Dali, I highly recommend staying in Shuanglang for a few nights, and once in Shuanglang, don’t miss the chance to visit Tinghua Island for a different experience.

I had an amazing stay at Yutang Luxury Resort Hotel, located in the heart of Dali’s Gu Cheng. The location itself is a huge plus—nestled within the charming old town, it’s easy to take your time and explore the vibrant surroundings.
The hotel serves a simple but delightful breakfast, and I found it to be just perfect for starting the day. It’s not overly extravagant, but it’s incredibly satisfying.
One of the best things about the resort is its proximity to bars and local nightlife—just a short walk away, you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of Gu Cheng until late.
The staff at Yutang were attentive and friendly, always ready to assist with any request. Their hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, this hotel is a great choice for anyone visiting Dali. It offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and warmth.

The location is close to Dali Railway Station but quite far from Santorini Dali and Dali Ancient City. I rate the location as excellent because, realistically, you can’t have everything perfect, so we chose the one nearest to the railway station. Overall, everything was good, and the staff, or perhaps the owner, was attentive at first.
However, on the day we were leaving, we were supposed to check out at 12 PM. I couldn’t reach the staff to store my luggage (I wasn’t sure where the storage was). So, we went about our day and headed to Longkan Wharf, returning at 12:04 PM. To my surprise, the lock had automatically changed right at 12 PM, which I wasn’t informed about, and our luggage was still inside the hotel. We had a train to catch at 12:56 PM.
I tried contacting the hotel via WeChat, but no one responded. We asked the guard for help, but he couldn’t do much except try calling the owner, who didn’t answer. Finally, around 1 PM, the owner responded, saying his phone was broken. Unfortunately, we missed our train.
I acknowledge it was my fault for not checking out exactly at 12 PM, but the lack of response from the owner left us without a place to store our luggage. Next time, it would be helpful if the hotel informed guests about the lock system and responded promptly to messages.
That was our bad experience. If it hadn’t happened, I would have rated the stay a solid 5/5. But, things happen.

I’ve just returned to my home country, and I’m already missing my stay at this Dali hotel! The location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk from Dali Ancient City. What’s even better is that the hotel isn’t directly inside the ancient city, making it super convenient to order Didi rides, which can pick you up and drop you off right at the hotel’s doorstep.
Since we stayed for two nights, the owner generously provided us with a pick-up service, which made our arrival so much smoother. As female travelers, we truly appreciated how attentive, caring, and thoughtful the staff were throughout our stay.
The area around the hotel is very convenient. At night, the road fills up with roadside stalls, making it easy to find food. As Muslims, we were delighted to discover halal food options nearby, which added so much ease to our trip.
The room itself was warm, spacious, and cozy—with probably the most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever slept in!
If you’re visiting Dali, I highly recommend staying at this hotel. With its strategic location, thoughtful hospitality, and cozy atmosphere, it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again!

We get free upgrade room from standard room to room that have bathtub & balcony. The location is quite far from old town street, around 30-40 minutes. But the view is very peaceful & nice.
The hotel does not have an elevator, so you need to climb the stairs but you can ask the staff to help you to bring your luggages to your room.
They also have a 2 cute cats in the lobby.
The breakfast doest not have that much option especially for a muslim travellers. We just can eat egg & corn. Maybe the hotel can add sweet potato as well.
But overall, the staff is very nice & helpful. Will recommend this hotel for those who love a place that is from city.

This was incredibly beautiful that we did not want to leave. This is a place we will recommend to everyone coming to Dali to stay at!!
Immaculate service, terrific views, beautifully furnished rooms, the warm milk at night, the brand name devices in the rooms, the delicious breakfast, enthusiastic service from staff (special shoutout to 小星!), the photography session - we loved it so much we will definitely come back and stay here again! The attention to detail - eg. providing warm bottled water and warm dessert at night - was much appreciated!
We did basically nothing on our second day except lounge around our room and stroll along Shuanglang ancient village. We stayed in 7 hotels / guesthouses on our Yunnan trip this time and this was by far our favourite.

GGuest UserI stayed in a room on the third floor with a terrace. It can be said that there are large windows on all sides and I can see Cangshan Mountain directly. The experience is great! In the morning, I just asked Xiao Ai to open all the curtains and watch the mountain view from the bed. It was so beautiful.
The door has a password lock and does not require a room card, which is very convenient. The landlady is from the Northeast, very easy-going and cheerful, and gave some suggestions for visiting.

FfoodietravelThe apartment is very clean and big. Very spacious and suitable for family. There's a full kitchen for if you want to cook or have a meal in the apartment. Washing machine is also available, which makes it
super convenient. The service was great from the staff. Although location was a bit confusing to find, the staff came out and led our driver to the right place for check in. You can see Cangshan and erhai from the apartment. There's not a lot of food places around as the apartment is on a small mountain apartment complex. However ordering take out is very convenient from your room. Overall a great stay.
MMuhamad Izwan Omar**A Breathtaking Experience at the hotel**
I had the pleasure of staying at a truly remarkable location with an unforgettable view from the cliff of a mountain overlooking the stunning Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was simply perfect, with the crisp, cold weather adding to the charm of the experience. The architecture, both interior and exterior, gave me the feeling of being transported to Europe, combining elegance with cozy warmth.
The staff were exceptional in their service, making sure every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly enhanced the experience.
This place offers the best of nature and luxury, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable getaway.

GGuest UserThe hotel service is really great! We will contact in advance to inform the hotel of its specific location, and we will send someone to pick up at Dali Station. When we got off the bus, the little brother helped with the luggage. After arriving, the winter melon tea made by the homestay was very delicious and had the aroma of glutinous rice. My mother liked it very much. The owner saw that the elderly liked it and gave two cups. It was so thoughtful. The hotel environment is also very good. The garden style is very design-oriented. You can see that the design is attentive. The Chinese garden is combined with modern art. The geographical location is also very convenient. In the ancient city, you can go shopping directly in the ancient city. It is convenient to enter and exit the ancient city. The homestay was newly opened this year, so it is very new and the hygiene is very good. It is very suitable for taking family trips or escaping from the class. The cost performance is very high, beyond expectations, and a very pleasant stay experience. Thank you to the store, thank you to the little brother who entertained us, the service is patient, careful and warm, and I wish the business will get better and better❤️ Don't hesitate to come.

GGuest UserI was so dizzy! The housekeeper added WeChat many days in advance to remind me, which was very considerate. The location of the homestay is very good, halfway up the mountain, very close to March Street, and about 10 yuan by taxi from the South Gate and North Gate of Dali Ancient Town. It is easy to get a taxi and there is no traffic jam. The public rest area is great, and the boss is a tasteful person. We booked a sea view king room, and we can see the sea while lying on the bed, which is very nice. The three kittens are also very cute! I have recommended it to other friends, and I will book their place again when I come to Dali in the future~~~

WWiing LiuAmazing view! Direct sunset view!
We stayed one night in August (Summer).
Pillow, blanket and bed were comfortable.
Toilet was humble.
Very kind and hard working hotel owner (well dressed and handsome too). He was very communicative, we added him on WeChat and he gave us detailed instructions and picked us up at the fork road, carried our luggages and walked us to the accommodation.
The accommodation is about 10-15 minutes walk to the main road where cars are allowed to drop off. We had huge and heavy luggage. We are extremely grateful that the owner lugged our luggage to the accommodation under the hot sun for us. He upgraded our room, and helped us to book a reliable driver to lijiang. He gave us tips on where to have breakfast and rent buggy. He also helped to liaise with the driver and carried our luggage to the car!!! It's 34 degrees Celsius here at the moment. We are so so grateful. Wishing the owner great success!
Recommendation:
1. Stay on the second floor onwards (less noisy and able to see the lake better)
2. Explore the track before the sun rises above the mountain (ard 6am). Walk 700m left of accommodation to book your vehicle. This will ensure you have enough vehicles to choose from, less crowded, avoid extreme UV, cooling weather, and get to Xin di cafe at a good time for breakfast!
3. Night time order meituan to accommodation so you can enjoy the view and eat at the comfort of your place. Couldn't find good and reliable restaurants around the area.
4. Manage expectations, there are bugs near the lake. Close the window at night.

TT.W.LBooked the family room at courtyard level as I had elderly and wanted an accommodation which is easy to access. I also did not want to be hoisting luggages up and down and over cobbled streets in the old town and somewhere along the city wall so it is easy to start our tour of the sights around Dali in the morning.
Room: Simple efficient clean layout with open concept. Rooms are relatively new. Sink area is located outside the bathroom which is good. The beds are hard in my opinion but elder felt the bed was comfortable. Bottled water was provided everyday (left outside our door). Room Temperature control was ok and the hot water for the shower heated up quick and could maintain at a stable level which is a plus unlike some other hotels in Yunnan.
There is flight of 3-4 steps to room which is manageable for our elder as the room is slightly raised above the courtyard. We had an early check-in as the room was ready. The staff helped us move the luggages to our room. You could also book the entire courtyard for larger groups. The owner is building additional new rooms in the annex but the construction happens during the day and it is not noisy as most guests would be out.
Location:
It is near the South Gate (there is a local market nearby check the maps or ask the owner) and our local driver could stop right outside our accommodation.
We didn’t get breakfast from the bnb as there were food shops offering noodles, congee and fried dumplings around that open early at 7am. You can also make your way to the local market near the gate. You could also go up the South Gate for free to catch the sunrise or sunset view.
Touring around Dali
If you can comms in Chinese, you could message the owner ahead to assist to arrange for a car transfer from Dali Fengyi Airport or the Dali Railway station to the BnB. It cost RMB50 for us from the Railway station to the BnB. You could also arrange with him for a day driver to take you around the sight seeing places around Dali /Erhai Lake, Mt Cang or a driver to send you to Lijiang. We felt was more efficient and relaxing with an elder. It took ~3h drive instead of travelling south to the Dali train station to ride the train to Lijiang and finding a cab from Lijiang railway to the old Lijiang ancient city.
You could also easily catch a Didi or a cab which could be cheaper. A cab/car ride to the 3 Chong Sen Temple pagodas was about 10rmb for 3-4pax which is comparable to waiting for Bus 4 which cost 3rmb per pax.

GGuest UserI recently had the pleasure of staying at Bomushanju during my visit to China, and I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience was. From the moment we arrived, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Despite the language barrier, the host went above and beyond to cater to our every need too. displaying genuine warmth and hospitality.
One particular instance that stood out was when they effortlessly organized a wheelchair for a member of our group, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. Additionally, they took charge of arranging all our ride-sharing services, ensuring we navigated the city with ease.
What truly impressed me was their unwavering support when we encountered an unfortunate scam. The host not only provided assistance but also guided us through the process of filing a complaint, alleviating much of our stress and frustration.
The rooms were immaculately clean and provided a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. Furthermore, the host’s insightful recommendations for places to visit enriched our trip, turning each outing into a memorable adventure.
Whenever we encountered language barriers, we could rely on the host to bridge the gap, offering translation services whenever needed. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was truly commendable.
