Homestays in Yunnan, China

This place is definitely the best option for you! The owner is incredibly kind and helpful. They’ll assist you in planning your trip and even help with booking tickets. Not only do they serve breakfast, but Laoban also prepares lunch and dinner for guests—and after each meal, you’re offered tea or coffee. he does this because he genuinely wants to see his guests happy and to have good memories. The atmosphere is very friendly, making it easy to meet new people from all over the world. They even take guests to nice bars at night! The price is very affordable, and the rooms are clean and fully equipped with everything you need. If you ever have a problem, Laoban will be there to help, anytime. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

I stayed here for two nights. It’s a small guesthouse located in the old town area. Large vehicles cannot access the alley, so if you have luggage, I recommend using a trolley. There’s a baggage service at the entrance for about 20 yuan. Most of the staff here speak only Chinese and don’t understand English, so if you’re a foreigner, I recommend downloading a translation app in advance. However, they are very kind, providing warm service and always willing to help with everything, from booking tours and recommending restaurants to suggesting places to visit. Even on the way back, they helped call a car for us. The entrance to the guesthouse may seem small, but it extends deep inside with multiple rooms, ready to accommodate travelers. It’s located in the old town area, where you can walk around and explore almost 24/7. Highly recommend to stay here if you come Lijiang. ♡♡♡

Come for the view, stay for the superior customer service! Nazhu Sky Courtyard Designer Snow Mountain View Homestay was nothing short of exceptional! The staff and owner are so kind and do everything to make sure all of your needs are met! This is the icing on the cake because the view of Yulong Snow Mountain is incredible! Relax, sunbathe and enjoy some coffee or tea on the terrace! Indulge in immersive experiences in and around the Homestay! There’s so much to do! Take a quick walk to Black Dragon Pool (Heilongtan Park) and learn about the culture within the city! Enjoy a cup or two of ******* Butter Tea and take time to talk to the staff…they are genuine and lovely people! I highly recommend this Homestay experience! Just know, there is no elevator BUT it’s totally worth it!! One more thing! The bed is incredible! I felt like I was sleeping in my own bed at home! 来欣赏风景，留下来享受优越的客户服务！Nazhu Sky Courtyard Designer Snow Mountain View Homestay堪称卓越！工作人员和业主非常友好，并尽一切努力确保满足您的所有需求！这是锦上添花，因为玉龙雪山的景色令人难以置信！在露台上放松、日光浴并享用一些咖啡或茶！沉浸在Homestay内外的沉浸式体验中！有很多事情要做！快速步行到黑龙池（黑龙潭公园），了解城市内的文化！喝一杯或两杯藏族酥油茶，并花时间与工作人员交谈…他们是真诚而可爱的人！我强烈推荐这个Homestay体验！但要知道，没有电梯，但绝对值得！ 还有一件事！床太棒了！感觉就像在家里睡在自己的床上一样！

It is more of a BnB within a condo but comes with an amazing view of Erhai lake. Despite being on the 29th floor, we were surprised to be able to hear noise from cars and people below. The service was great and the host was easily contactable through WeChat to arrange free transport to and from the train station as well as breakfast in the morning and warm milk at night. The biggest downside was the distance from Dali Ancient Town which was about 30mins. But still a good location if you want to be near to the train station and have a great view.

Impossible to find a better place in Jianshui. The rooms are located inside a historic stone and wood building that has been renovated respecting the culture of the place, creating very large rooms, in style, equipped with all possible technological comforts. The owner, Lawrence, speaks perfect English (a very rare thing to find in Jiuanshui), is a highly cultured person and can help you solve any type of problem as well as accompanying you on visits to the surroundings, making you enter the heart of Yunnan. It is the best place I have stayed in Yunnan, without a doubt. In this place I left my heart, respect and affection for Lawrence and all the staff.

We love the big clean spacious room with nice view. The room is so big that we can fully open 2 big luggages and still have plenty of space. Located in the heart of the old city, with many shops and restaurants around. The bed is very comfortable, and they provided oxygen machine and humidifier, which are great for high-altitude stay. There is a sofa in the room, too. The operator is very friendly and helpful. He even woke up early to send us to the main road as it will be challenging to lug our luggages along the uneven ancient road. Will stay at this hotel again if we come back to Shangri-La. Highly recommend!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is a cozy and well-located homestay near two ancient towns — Lijiang Ancient City and Shuhe Ancient City. They offer convenient one-way transport to both, as well as pick-up service from the airport and train station, which is a great bonus. The rooms are spacious, clean, and offer beautiful lake views. The homestay is also equipped with a lift, making it especially convenient for guests with mobility needs. Overall, a highly recommended place to stay!

Amazing view, friendly and helpful host. Good food nearby as the location is away from the touristy part of Dali. Close to train station too.

Highly recommended this homestay. The room is tastefully designed , spacious and comfortable. It even has a smart toilet. Felt like home away from home. The owner, wife and their son are all very helpful, helping us arrange our trip, transportation etc. They will make sure that you got a good deal and give good advice on planning our trip. It is also at a very convenient location to visit other attraction areas, shops and restaurants. We extended another day after a five night stay because we love the place too much and we wanted to have a relaxing day just to fully enjoy the place. The owner upgraded us to an even bigger room with a view to the temple at Guishan park. The owner also picked us up from the Dukezong Ancient town when we arrived and got up early to send us to the train station when we checked out. Best homestay we had this far. 非常推荐这个客棧.老板和家人都非常親切,给予我们的旅程很好的建议和幫助. 房间很舒适宽敞, 还有智能厕所. 老板除了在我们低达时在古鎮附近接我们,还在我们退房后特意早起送我们去火车站. 客棧也很方便, 附近有便利店,商店和不錯的餐厅,也很方便去附近的景点.房间和房的廊庁也可以看见大佛寺.

The hotel location is excellent and very convenient. We initially thought we’d have to pull our luggage a long way, but we were pleasantly surprised that didi (China’s taxi service) could stop right in front of the hotel! There are plenty of food options nearby, all within walking distance. I like the most is nearby north gate there got alot hotpot choice if u lazy to walk didi also within 2dollar One of the hotel’s friendly (and handsome!) staff even helped us with our luggage, and the check-in process was super quick — we were able to check in immediately. The room was just right and even had a heater, which made our stay very comfortable. For this price, getting such a cozy hotel room is definitely a great choice, especially for foreigners looking to stay near Dali Ancient Town.
