Serenity Homestay (Erhai Branch, Dali Ancient Town) Reviews

The room was exactly as we were waiting for. The location was good and quiet. Check-in was so easy. The room was beautiful and the common areas were really nice and warm.

I love this homestay it feel like home, only walk straight from the main entrance of Dali Old Town and you will find the homestay after turn right at the junction of one Muslim restaurant there then you will see the signboard write "The place to be- Home Inn" (as what I posted in the photo below). Here the photo of my room, it really clean and comfortable as my wish. The landlady very nice, she try to help me even there's a language barrier between us. I arrive at hostel around 12pm and she give me key so I can have my rest even the check in process will be around 2pm. She even cook for the guest and it really delicious. If you're Muslim don't worry the landlady understand that we couldn't eat pork so she separate my meal with other guest. She even cook for me when I bought a packed of mushroom soup that need to be cook before eat 😃 Indeed this hostel provide e-bike to rent and also service to tour guide if you need it, just ask from her. I think you will get cheaper compare you roaming around the town and ask one by one travel agent in Dali Ancient City. There's a few cat in the house, if you are a cat lover better come here. The cats so cute and always come around to watch over you. If you need anything just knock off the door downstair I think she's ready to help you anytime except in a middle of night (as the landlord also need rest just like us) If you're foreigner just use translator on your phone to communicate with landlady, language barrier could be overcome by that!

I really liked the atmosphere of the place. There were baby cats! And huge fishes. The room was clean with sunlight and AC. The bed was comfortable and the blankes were nice. The people dont speak english, yet they are very kind. The location is great.

Pro: Room was spacious. Plenty of charging points. Nearby halal restaurant. Nearby S-curve Erhai lake. About 15mins by didi. Located in the ancient town with plenty of shops to explore. Cons: Toilet was quite dirty. When you turn on the ventilating fan, all sorts of disgusting smell come in. Anyhow, I only paid RM150 for 2 nights. Price is cheap.

this is for you if you are looking for a hostel like experience, i was a little unlucky to check in at the time where the room was stuffy because of the weather and it took 3/4 hours before the room cooled down. and i also overlapped with the monthly electrical maintenance which meant i woke up to a black out / no electricity in the room.

Good location good cat good room

Great accomodation and very confortable, i had a good sleep there

Nice hotel..near main road..easy to find halal food..

There’s 2 cute cat.

Great location. Easy to check in. Host is lovely. Room clean and view is breathtaking. Will stay again.

Homestay was really nice and comfortable. Owners has 2 cats which were absolutely a dopamine boost. Excellent experience!

The place was very nice. It is central in the ancient city, from high-speed railway bus N8 goes very close. Breakfast was chinese amd changing every day, but basically vegetarian. Room was very big and nicely decorated, everything you need was there. Bathroom was also big. I recommend this place! The hosts are very nice and helpful. The place has washing machines to use, space to dry clothes, nice veranda and one yeard.

The room is lovely, clean and bright. The only drawback is we had to carry our suitcases up to the 1st floor as there's no lift in the building. The owner is very friendly and helpful, getting us tour guides etc .

Very comfortable. Nice design and a good location!
