The owner was pleasant. The bed comfortable. The dogs and cats were fine. The fellow smoking in the non smoking dorm was not. I asked the owner if it is ok to smoke in the dorm (as it clearly states “non smoking”) she said “sure you can if you want”. I then went on to explain that on trip,com it says dorms “non smoking”. The guy was told to stop smoking in the dorm. But i gather non smoking dorm is only available if you complain. This is unacceptable practice as it should be not allowed to post untrue aspects of the lodgings on trip.com. If a room is nonsmoking it should be exactly that all the time not just when someone complains. In the photo below she says he was ashamed and sorry for smoking inside. I can tell you he was not, i heard him raising his voice in complaint…and was belligerent.
Response from Property: I apologize for the negative experience you've had. I will actively address this to ensure everyone's satisfaction

Only had a one night stay here, but I would have loved to spend more time! The host went above and beyond to accomodate me in the lovely small yard. Its a very cute little space with all a traveller needs. The dogs and cat are also fun characters. Thank you for the Chinese practice and very memorable experience Lori!

This is a great quiet little place. The host is really sweet. She will do everything to make you feel at home. Her English is limited but we used translation apps and it worked fine. It is a little bit hard to get to. From the train station you have to take bus 4 all the way to the last station. From there you can walk 30 min or get a taxi/Didi for about 10 yuan. The taxi will drop you in the village but there is no signage or anything. It took me a long time to figure out where it was, some gentleman had to call her for me. The whole time I was just beside it not knowing. I took some photos to show you where it is cause it’s really not obvious for foreigners.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for the pictures you uploaded, which will bring great help to the passengers. Thank you again for your support and kindness. We wish you happiness and well-being. We are destined to see each other again.

Sweet little spot with friendly and generous owners. We stayed in the downstairs room and were surprised at the size and comfort for a very good price! I think they need to put some kind of signage up on the street so their place can be found! We wandered around asking people for a while until she must have heard and came out on the street to get us! The location is quite far from the old city, and only worked for us because we could borrow their scooter. That was really nice! But without the scooter I think it's easier to be somewhere closer.

The kindness of the hostess was the best of my four months of travelling. She provided me with free toiletries, washing machine and electric scooter. She made my bed warm thanks to the electric blanket. And she drove me to the bus station with her scooter. Top!

WONDERFUL STAFF!!! I came to Dali as a solo traveler looking for a place to stay on a budget, which is how I found Ryan’s Little Yard. The hostel is currently run by the most wonderful person, a young woman named Lai En. She is absolutely fantastic—both generous and a joy to be around. She helped me multiple times during my stay, especially after I fell and was slightly injured. Wow, talk about above and beyond. If you’re looking for a budget hostel where you know you’ll be taken care of, this is the place for you!

Amazing place close to the Dali Ancient Town. Very clean, very quiet, a very cute friendly cat and two dogs, and a very friendly host who let us borrow her electric scooters for free. Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at this top-notch hostel and had an incredible experience. The owner went above and beyond, showing me around the city and introducing me to the best local cuisine. We even became friends during my stay! The hostel's prime location and cleanliness added to the overall exceptional experience. Highly recommend it!"

We had a great stay at Ryan’s little yard! It’s a little courtyard in a village outside Dali’s ancient city. Close to mountains and the lake. The host is so nice and happy to help with our queries. It’s a short drive from the main ancient city area however they have electric bikes which you can ride for free. You can also do your laundry and even cook for no additional cost. She also provided us drinking water for our whole stay. It is a shared toilet/shower but kept super clean. We would gladly stay again.

I have to give a good review for this stay. Although I don't know why the boss didn't reply to my letter, he has done a good job. He has tried his best to satisfy us and entertain us with the best. Although the old house he bought has no sign and is difficult to find, fortunately he came to pick me up after I called him. Living with the boss and getting to know him, you will find that he is hardworking, capable, and able to endure hardships. These are rare and precious qualities, just like his old house, which he has taken good care of and is unique.

The best choice for travelers. The boss is warm and generous. If you want to go to the ancient city, the boss will pick you up by electric bike. Although the electric bike is not durable, it is still no problem to run two trips around the ancient city. The cats and dogs raised by the boss's wife are still very cute. Due to other reasons, I only stayed for one day. Haha, I will stay there again if I have the chance.

I have lived outside for many years. This was the first time in my life that I encountered lice in a youth hostel. It was the first time in my life that I encountered such a big louse. It bit me half the night and covered my body with bites. Killed two lice by the way. When I woke up in the morning and saw it clearly, I was worried that it was a tick. I was scared to death. But lice are also really scary. I thought about it and told the boss that the dog might be at the end of the bed and the lice escaped from the dog. The boss said that the dog had been dewormed, but he didn't pay attention to hygiene and didn't bathe the dog often. Would it be able to avoid getting lice? And it’s perfect for dogs to live and rest in the guest room.

Response from Property: My homestay is famous for its cleanliness. You can see from the comments of previous guests that the bed sheets and quilt covers are changed in front of the guests. I have raised my dog ​​for so long without this problem. It is impossible that there will be problems as soon as you come, right? Every month, the dog uses anthelmintics imported from the United States (brand: Advocate) to deworm. With the pictures you gave me, I searched Baidu for bed bugs. This is caused by some people who don't like to take a bath or change clothes. You can also check it online. Please don't slander my dog ​​and the fruits of my labor. Guests who don't take a bath, wash clothes, and are unhygienic should not come in the future. I bought professional anthelmintics and I hope everyone will take good personal hygiene. I will continue to maintain good public hygiene, and we will create a beautiful and comfortable environment together.
