★★★★ 9.8 (1,537 reviews)

"This lovely B&B, recommended by friends and family, is conveniently located right next to Dali Ancient City. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt like I'd entered a vibrant, healing succulent paradise! The courtyard, hallways, and even the room windowsills were adorned with an array of uniquely shaped, colorful succulent pots. There were plump 'Peach Eggs,' layered 'Echeverias,' and 'Mountain Roses' that looked just like tiny roses, all shimmering under the sunlight. Even more delightful was discovering it's a cat haven! Several cats, each with their own distinct personality, roamed freely – some lazily sunbathing, others playfully darting about, and a few elegantly strolling. They weren't shy at all and would even come rub against your leg, practically begging for pets, instantly melting away any stress. The B&B owner is a warm and chatty young man. He not only helped with my luggage and gave recommendations for nearby attractions, but also thoughtfully prepared local snacks. His attentive and detailed service made me feel incredibly welcome. The room itself was cozy and comfortable, featuring wooden furniture paired with soft bedding. Outside the window, there was a lush green mountain view, and at night, you could hear the chirping of insects and birds. The serene environment made me want to simply unwind there and savor a slow-paced life away from the hustle and bustle."

"The room was very clean. When we first arrived, there were no rooms available, so the owner upgraded us for free, which was great. My wife scraped her ankle while playing by Erhai Lake, and the guesthouse even provided free iodine swabs and band-aids. The service was excellent, and the owner was very welcoming. Dali's scenery is beautiful!"

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel

"The check-in experience was smooth, and Echo's service was just right – not overly intrusive. The room was clean and tidy, with all the facilities in good working order. The internet was stable, and the bathroom experience was excellent. The environment was peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Since it was peak season and rainy season in Dali, you might need to book a taxi in advance. The value for money was remarkable, offering a significant advantage compared to other hotels of the same standard. Staying here made our trip very reassuring, and I genuinely recommend it to everyone."

ARANYA Resort Hotel Hotels in Dali City

ARANYA Resort Hotel

"We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Our concierge by the name of Luke was one of the most thoughtful hosts I have ever met - always attentive and responsive. Brought us warm milk at night, helped us with complimentary laundry, referred us and arranged for a driver for us to our next city. The view is breathtaking. The only possible downside for guests wanting to spend time in Dali ancient city is that one would need to commute for approximately 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. I would recommend this hotel and would go back again."

"The room was very spacious. Our hotel's personal butler, Olivia, contacted us on WeChat beforehand and was incredibly thoughtful and patient. 👍 The room view was also great. We even saw fireworks over Erhai Lake in the distance at night! 🎆"

Jumo · Banshanju | Linhai Tingfeng Art Homestay (Longkan Wharf Erhai Lake) Hotels in Dali City

Jumo · Banshanju | Linhai Tingfeng Art Homestay (Longkan Wharf Erhai Lake)

"Pushing open the wooden door, you're enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The interplay of rammed earth walls and old wooden beams imbues every detail with the texture of time. Warm yellow light and the scent of wood create a sense of tranquility, slowing even your breathing. The room is a loft-style space. The upper level daybed is gently embraced by wooden-framed windows, while the lower level's small window overlooks the courtyard pool. Sunlight streams in, and even the breeze carries a sense of languid comfort. Potted plants in the corner are in full bloom, and a small rattan table by the window is perfect for brewing tea and daydreaming. The wooden stairs creak with every step, as if telling a story of bygone days. The owner is thoughtful and meticulous, providing peace of mind from check-in to check-out. There's no excessive commercialization here, only a perfectly relaxed atmosphere—a perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Next time I'm in Dali, I'll definitely stay here again!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Dali Erhai Park Hotels in Dali City

Days Inn by Wyndham Dali Erhai Park

"I'd describe this as a basic budget hotel. The facilities are quite dated, and it doesn't quite measure up to a Days Inn by Wyndham. It's located right next to Erhai Lake Park. A taxi ride to Dali Old Town costs about 40+ RMB and takes nearly an hour. The hotel's top floor offers views of Erhai Lake. There's a bus stop downstairs with routes to Dali Station or Haidong Town, but be warned, buses are notoriously difficult to catch. Breakfast was average, and the same spread was offered for three days straight, though thankfully, there were some hot, cooked items. The room itself was reasonably clean and tidy. Overall, it's decent, especially considering the price point."

"The owners are very welcoming and the room is spacious, equipped with a sofa and tea table, which is very convenient. It's only a few hundred meters from the ancient city and very close to the food street. The bus station is right across the street, and electric scooter rentals are next door, which is super handy. The courtyard gate is also beautiful."

"This B&B truly exceeded my expectations! The room had an amazing view; I could watch the stunning sunrise right from my bed, which really set a fantastic mood.

The owner and staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful, providing excellent service. Plus, there was free coffee available, and it tasted great. Overall, it was a perfect experience, and I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit. Highly recommended!"

See You Again Dali - Artisan - Erhai Love Affair B&B (Caicun Seaview) Hotels in Dali City

See You Again Dali - Artisan - Erhai Love Affair B&B (Caicun Seaview)

"This has been the best B&B experience I've had in Yunnan so far! The room looks exactly like the pictures. The B&B is near Caicun village, and we stayed on the 3rd floor, which offered fantastic views. In front, we had the beautiful S-bend of Erhai Lake, and behind, large wisteria bushes and Cangshan Mountain. There's also an observation deck upstairs for even more unobstructed views. The room is spacious, with high-tech amenities and large floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can enjoy the scenery just by opening the curtains. I was pleasantly surprised that the water heater provided instant hot water. The courtyard is very clean, and the host even helped us with our luggage. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. (If you're driving, I'd recommend parking outside the village, as the roads inside are very narrow, making it difficult to pass oncoming cars and easy to scrape your vehicle.)"

"The room was very clean, the owner was very welcoming and even gave us some travel tips. It was the best hotel in its price range during our stay in Dali. We had a direct view of Erhai Lake from the upper floors, parking was convenient, and it was very close to the old town."

Dali Ancient City. Shanyuyishe Boutique B&B ★★★
"The room was incredibly spacious with a great view outside the window. The duvet was just the right thickness, making for a very comfortable sleep. The rice noodles in the morning were delicious; my daughter still talks about wanting to go back and eat them even after we've left. The guesthouse is super convenient for getting to Dali Ancient City; it's just a straight walk down one road. My mom, who usually stays home, was even willing to go out and explore by herself. The room gets a lot of natural light, so it might be quite bright in the morning. Bringing an eye mask would make it perfect!"

Santorini Cloud National Tide Sea View Resort Dali ★★★★
"This is by far the most delightful sea-view hotel I've stayed at in Dali, completely exceeding my expectations! It definitely deserves a full score recommendation! The hotel is nestled on the hillside of Ideal Utopia, with blue and white cave-style architecture built into the mountain. As soon as you open the door, you're greeted with an unobstructed panoramic view of Erhai Lake, with the Cangshan Mountains shrouded in mist. In the evening, you can watch the sunset paint the lake, and in the morning, wake up to the sea breeze and sunrise – the ambiance is absolutely perfect. The rooms are spacious, and the King Koil mattress ensures a super comfortable sleep. Details like Hansgrohe bathroom fixtures, a Dyson hairdryer, and smart temperature control all speak to the high quality. The wet and dry areas are clean and tidy, the mini-bar is complimentary and restocked, and even the toiletries are thoughtfully selected. Our dedicated butler provided one-on-one service throughout our stay, from airport/station transfers to check-in guidance. They were incredibly responsive to our needs and even thoughtfully recommended lesser-known photo spots and sightseeing routes. Breakfast was rich and varied, offering both Yunnan local snacks and Western dishes. We also received welcome fruit daily and a sweet soup before bed – so warm and attentive. The infinity pool in the public area is fantastic for photos, with its pure white backdrop against the blue sea and sky, making every shot Instagram-worthy. You can enjoy the stunning mountain and sea views without the crowds. There's no excessive commercial noise here, just a tranquil and relaxing vacation vibe. The facilities, service, and views are all top-notch, making it the highlight of our Dali trip. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Dali, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake in an immersive way!"

"The environment was quite nice, and the owner was very welcoming. We brought our child and just wanted something clean. There are so many guesthouses out there, it was overwhelming. We chose this one because it looked clean in the photos. It was pretty good. If possible, it's best to go during the off-season; accommodations are cheaper, and there are fewer people, making it suitable for relaxation and escaping."
