Guest UserI stayed here for four or five days straight, and it was truly wonderful! The shower had a huge overhead rainfall showerhead with great water pressure, and the room's soundproofing was excellent. Every morning, the landlady would prepare a lovely breakfast. The entire building probably only has six or seven rooms. There were too many people taking photos in the scenic area, so I ended up taking all my pictures downstairs at the guesthouse – they turned out great! The owner can offer pick-up and drop-off to Shaxi Ancient Town (it's very close), or you can use the guesthouse's electric scooter for free. The hotel's location is convenient for getting anywhere, and there's also free parking for cars, which was a lifesaver since we drove all the way from Dali Airport!

The B&B's location is super convenient! It's not on the main street, but just a two or three-minute walk to both the main street and the local snack market. This means it's peaceful and quiet, yet still incredibly handy for everything. The room was cozy and comfortable, and also very quiet. The garden view was simple yet elegant. A big thank you to the manager, she was absolutely wonderful and paid attention to every detail. My whole family was really happy with our stay, highly recommend it!

Anonymous UserThe location is excellent, right in the pedestrian zone of the old town, and you can drive within about 20 meters of the entrance. The service at the guesthouse was incredibly warm and attentive. When there were minor issues with the air conditioning and lights, they immediately called a technician to fix them. You can also request different pillows. They even helped with washing, drying, and collecting clothes. In addition to breakfast, they offered a late-night white fungus soup.
The facilities are relatively new and include underfloor heating. Although there aren't many guest rooms, there's a tea room and a lounge where you can relax and enjoy some tea.
The recommended restaurants were also great, and mentioning the guesthouse's name even got us a discount.
The only downside is the poor soundproofing of the wooden Bai-style house. We could hear every movement from the upstairs guests clearly in the middle of the night. Luckily, the kids went to bed early. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to choose an upstairs room.

bbll520A very cozy and elegant B&B, super close to the ancient town entrance, highly recommend for Shaxi accommodation! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Shaxi during the rainy season has a unique tranquility and relaxation, and staying here felt just like home. We were wonderfully looked after and very comfortable. The breakfast and afternoon tea were top-notch. Every staff member served and cared for guests with all their heart. What a fantastic team! 😇

This guesthouse has a story to tell. There's a 530-year-old ancient tree right by the entrance, home to a family of squirrels. As soon as I entered the room, I found a pair of chestnut-dyed cloth squirrels placed on the bed. Lying on the third-floor bed, the old tree glowed with life under the setting sun. The indigo-dyed soft couch on the terrace made me fall in love with Yunnan's sunshine, and the abundant flowers and plants everywhere showed the owner's passion for life. The guesthouse manager and the young lady's tea and dishes were unforgettable; that elegant, down-to-earth charm makes me want to return to this place again and again.

I'm already home but still thinking about my three days in Shaxi!!!
1. Location + Parking 🅿️: The guesthouse was very easy to find, and since we drove, we wanted a place with parking. There's a small road in front of the guesthouse where you can park, which was very convenient 😊.
2. Ambiance: As soon as we stepped out of the car and entered, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a very comfortable and stylish courtyard. When we didn't go out, sitting in the courtyard and having some tea was incredibly relaxing. I also loved the room's decor – it was clean, hygienic, and had a subtle, pleasant aroma. There were small tables and chairs outside the room where we could relax.
3. Service: The guesthouse owner, the front desk lady, and the auntie were all super nice and enthusiastic. They gave us great tips for exploring the ancient town, and their daily greetings felt like catching up with old friends. (The breakfast was really delicious!)
There's also a super cute cat named Huanhuan at the guesthouse!!!! So spiritual!! And very friendly!!! Every time I came back, I'd look for the cat first, haha!!!
Overall, it was a very happy and relaxing trip! If I get a chance to visit Shaxi again, I'll definitely stay here again 🥰.

YunjiatanOur stay at Shuao Xunshan Yiye Rural Life Homestay was truly unforgettable. Nestled in a serene rural setting, it offers a perfect escape from the busy city, surrounded by nature and peaceful scenery.
The rooms are beautifully designed—simple yet elegant, very clean, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail reflects a thoughtful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.
What stood out most was the warm hospitality. The hosts were genuinely welcoming and made the stay feel personal and special, always ready to help with anything we needed. The host will send you to ShaXi ancient town and fetch you back. One of the best ancient town we had visited during this trip.
If you’re looking for a quiet, authentic countryside experience with comfort and heart, this place is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Shuaiqidexiaohouzhi827It was super convenient to get back to the hotel after exploring the ancient town. The design is really impressive, with a natural wood and Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic that perfectly matches Shaxi's rustic charm. The courtyard with its flowing water, wooden corridors, and the gentle, Zen-like atmosphere as soon as you open the door is just lovely 🍃. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was so soft, and the bathroom facilities were convenient and clean. After a shower, curling up in bed and watching 'Meet Yourself' just melted away all the day's fatigue. There's 24-hour butler service and afternoon tea upon check-in – sipping tea, listening to the wind, and watching the fish play in the pond amidst the misty atmosphere was truly relaxing 🐟. Waking up early, enjoying breakfast, and then just gazing out the window at the scenery, listening to the wind and rain, is truly living that slow-paced 'wind-filled' life.

The courtyard is absolutely beautiful! My sister recommended this place, and it truly is stunning. It's even more delightful in person, and the room was spotlessly clean with all the necessary disposables. My friend and I didn't bring much, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the toiletries were from well-known brands, making us feel very comfortable and at ease. In the mornings, some tourists would take photos by the courtyard entrance, but the owner would politely ask them to keep their voices down so as not to disturb our rest. We even locked ourselves out late at night, and the owner, being incredibly kind, came out to help us open the door. Honestly, it's just a fantastic place, I loved it and will definitely be back!

A fantastic experience, the most satisfying guesthouse I stayed at during my Yunnan trip. The decor was thoughtful, a blend of vintage and rustic styles, with freshly picked wildflowers in the room. The room layout was very practical. There was a small courtyard, and the rooms had large floor-to-ceiling windows offering expansive views of the fields and mountains. It's a little distance from the ancient town, but not far, and the owner helps arrange shared bikes, making it convenient to get around the surrounding area. The owner prepared the breakfast himself, and it was delicious. Staying here was incredibly relaxing; I was completely satisfied! 👍
