Hostels in Yunnan, China

I recently spent two nights at this accommodation, and while there were not many foreigners around, I still found it to be a decent experience. Upon arrival, I received a coupon, which was a nice touch, but I found that the minimum spending requirement made it less useful for solo travelers like myself. I had requested a bottom bunk but ended up with a top one, and I found the bed to be quite hard. However, the provided curtains added a nice level of privacy. On the plus side, they offer lockers, towels, and slippers, which is convenient. The bathroom, however, could use a bit more attention as it needed cleaning, and I noticed that the shower had a leak. Overall, considering the price, I can't really complain too much. The staff at the front desk were friendly and spoke English, which made communication easy. Just a heads-up: there are two flights of stairs, and you'll need to walk through the restaurant/bar area to access the lift to the rooms. All in all, it’s a budget-friendly option that meets basic needs!

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The environment was great, both from the staff and the guests. Really made me, the only foreigner, feel comfortable among them. Also very close to the best value noodles place I have yet found in SE Asia, and to the Ancient Town, and provided a good value bike rental (very solid bike). Riding it along the ancient train itinerary was her highlight of my Jianshui visit. Highly recommend 👌

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hostel in the female dorm. While the dorm room didn’t have AC, it was comfortable and well-maintained. The shared bathroom was clean, featuring a typical wet room setup. The owners were incredibly nice and helpful, always ready to assist, and their excellent English made communication a breeze. It's great to know that the family lives on-site, adding a warm, homey feel to the place. One convenient feature is the washing machine available for a small fee, although I opted not to use it during my stay. Breakfast is offered, but remember to place your order the night before to ensure you get what you want! The location is quite handy, being close to the city center. Just a heads up, crossing the busy road can be a bit tricky, so take care. There are plenty of western food options nearby, which is a nice bonus if you're craving something familiar. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming place to stay.

My last stay at Backpackers' Ten Years was nine years ago. Back then, I was genuinely amazed, wondering how a hostel could be so fantastic. Over the past nine years, I've experienced all sorts of hostels, but returning to Backpackers' Ten Years, I still feel like no other domestic hostel truly measures up. That said, compared to hostels abroad, domestic ones might have more introverted guests, so people don't often strike up conversations out of the blue. However, this suits me perfectly, as I'm quite content to quietly observe everything around me. The service was friendly, the place was spotless, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

The hotel's ambiance is fantastic; it seems newly renovated, making it spotlessly clean. Overall, for a hostel, its cleanliness far exceeded my expectations, and it has quite an international feel. A big plus is the hotel's location – it's very quiet yet incredibly close to the ancient city, which is super convenient. However, compared to other hostels in Dali, while the facilities are comprehensive, many aren't actively open or promoted for use. This means there isn't much common space for guests to socialize. Of course, this might be introvert-friendly, but given the sheer number of facilities, it would be much better if they were more fully utilized. They offer 2 hours of free PS5 gaming: Not many people seemed to take advantage of it. I personally spent half a day there playing 'Black Myth: Wukong' and had a blast. Just a heads-up though, the controller was running low on battery and needed a charge.

I arrived at the youth hostel at around 9pm. I booked it immediately after seeing the room. The room was clean and comfortable, well ventilated, and both the room and the bathroom had windows. The bedding was also clean, and the room was quite large. There was a large platform on the top floor, which was very comfortable to sit and enjoy the breeze at night. I will stay at this youth hostel again next time I go to Jianshui. The boss was also very nice. I didn't eat after arriving, so he recommended Lao Er BBQ nearby. I couldn't find it on the map, but it was delicious!

Nice location, nice common areas and nice view. You get help for booking tours and stuff, however, the room is not quite isolated that well so it gets cold (heating blanket available) and wet and noisy

The hostel is really nice and cute with all the decoration. The room and bathroom also clean, they clean it everyday. Also provide soap, shampoo, conditioner, and toothbrush if you did not bring one! The bed is comfy and the bed sheet smell nice. I really like the atmosphere, homey and comfy, so I keep extending my nights here. They also want to help me with the luggage when the road is under construction. It is totally worth staying. 谢谢老板和团队！

I would like to recommend this hostel for foreigners. The owner is very kind and very helpful for foreigners. You can use microwaves at shared place. Decorations are so interesting you can use the pot for hot water. Thank you so much.

This youth hostel truly impressed me! From the moment I stepped in, I was immediately drawn to its warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful with the check-in process and provided excellent travel tips. The room itself was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and offered great privacy; every detail was carefully thought out, reflecting wonderful taste. They offer affordable electric scooter rentals and complimentary luggage storage, which was super convenient as I could drop off my bags, explore on a scooter, and then pick them up again later. The bed was wonderfully soft and comfortable, ensuring a fantastic night's sleep, and I woke up feeling completely refreshed and re-energized. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit!
