Hotels in Cai Village/Longkan Wharf, Dali City

This stay was absolutely wonderful! The guesthouse looked exactly like the pictures – spacious, bright, and clean. We could even see Erhai Lake right from our balcony. The host was incredibly warm and friendly, and communication was a breeze. She helped us with our luggage during both check-in and check-out, and even gave us thoughtful recommendations for local attractions and dining. The location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. Overall, it was fantastic value for money. I've already recommended it to my friends and would definitely stay here again on my next trip!

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the South Gate of the ancient city, surrounded by a food street. Taxis and food delivery services are easily accessible. The rooms are comfortable, and the bedding is clean and just right. I booked two rooms, and both mine and my children's were great; the bedding wasn't damp at all and felt very comfortable. The hotel's interior environment is fantastic, and they even provide free clothes for photo ops – my family was taking pictures until past 10 PM on our check-in night. The breakfast is exquisite, and the taste perfectly suited for someone from northern China like me; I'd have two bowls of rice noodles every day until I was stuffed! Finally, the staff's service attitude and enthusiasm were exceptionally good and diligent. This hotel is highly recommended.

This guesthouse was a real gem I discovered during my Dali trip! The owner, a fellow Shandong native, was incredibly warm and made the entire stay absolutely delightful. Choosing this lakeside guesthouse was the luckiest part of my Dali journey. Its location is impeccable, right by Erhai Lake and close to both Dali Ancient City and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The guesthouse even offers electric scooter rentals, a one-stop solution for all your transportation needs. Upon checking in, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the owner was from Shandong, which instantly made me feel at home and incredibly relaxed, a true feeling of 'coming home' while traveling. Our rented electric scooter couldn't go directly to the lakeside, so the owner proactively sent us precise parking directions – such thoughtful and meticulous attention to detail! They also provided an extensive list of local culinary recommendations, meticulously planning out breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so we didn't have to do any research ourselves; our entire eating and entertainment experience was worry-free. We stayed in the 'Lotus Pond' room type, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and had a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing Cangshan Mountain, offering healing and comfortable views of low, soft clouds. The cleanliness was impeccable, making for a highly comfortable stay. The most heartwarming surprise was at checkout: the owner thoughtfully gave each of us a Dali refrigerator magnet – a small gift filled with genuine sincerity. Whether it was the location, the amenities, or the human touch, this guesthouse far exceeded my expectations. It's my top choice for Dali, highly recommended, and I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit!

I'd give this place more than five stars—the service was absolutely outstanding! First off, the location is perfect, right next to Erhai Lake and not far from Longkan Pier or Caicun Village. Secondly, the guesthouse is super clean and cozy, and the little garden with all its blooming flowers is just beautiful. But the absolute best part was the owner's amazing hospitality. I fell off my bike by Erhai Lake and hurt my knee, and she took such thoughtful care of me. Then, when our taxi was delayed by traffic on our way to catch our flight, she personally drove us out to meet it. I'm so grateful! I'll definitely choose this guesthouse again next time I visit Erhai Lake.

Stayed here with my good friend, and since hygiene is a big deal for us, this guesthouse was perfectly clean and reassuring. The room was spotless, no dust anywhere, and the environment was quiet and safe, making our stay really comfortable and relaxing. They paid great attention to cleanliness details, which was a nice touch. Even though it's on the first floor, it was super convenient! In the evenings, after the coffee shop downstairs closed, we'd just hang out there, drinking tea and using our phones. Excellent value for money! Definitely my top choice for accommodation when traveling!

The room was absolutely beautiful, right by Erhai Lake, and the design and decor were superb! I could watch the sunrise and sunset right from my bed. It was a very satisfying stay. Facilities: The room was very new and spotless, which I really appreciated. Service: They even pinpointed the parking lot for us, and a staff member helped us with our luggage. It was less than a 5-minute walk to the guesthouse. The service was excellent; they even helped us mail back a piece of clothing we'd forgotten!

Let's be objective! If you're looking for an authentic, natural experience, come to Dali. If you want something modern, go to a big city! The most valuable area in Dali is along Erhai Lake, where it's clean, refreshing, and the scenery is beautiful. Right outside is the ecological corridor. Da Tang is in a great location, and the terrace is a highlight. The courtyard is tidy, and it's quiet and comfortable at night! In terms of value for money, I checked, and it beats all the surrounding places! It's a great spot to watch the sunrise, close to the ancient city, and accessible by car. A genuine recommendation! I had a pleasant stay over the past few days! Wishing the owner a prosperous business! See you next time!

因為是一家新開的民宿，所以盲定了這家。入住以後發現真的非常驚喜，民宿的設施特別完善，老闆也非常的熱情。這個民宿的位置在古城和洱海之間，去古城和洱海都非常方便，而且不會像住在這兩個地方那樣吵鬧。是一個非常安靜的小院。, 房間裏面的設施特別完善，該有的東西都有，而且品質特別高，有其他需要的生活用品，老闆也會很快的拿上來。, 前台還有一個小櫃子裏面放了很多有可能需要到的生活用品可以自取，真的感覺到了用心。, 老闆還養了一衹特別可愛的薩摩耶，小院子也非常舒服，早點的米線也很好吃。, 真心特別推薦這家民宿，下回來大理還會來住的。

I absolutely loved the design style of this inn – it's simple yet unique, and every corner exudes an artistic vibe. Taking photos here is a guaranteed hit on social media! Walking into the room was a pleasant surprise. The decor is incredibly tasteful, and the toiletries are high-quality essential oil products, not the cheap stuff you find in standard hotels. Every detail shows warmth and thoughtfulness. The housekeeper provided warm and attentive service; she helped us with our luggage as soon as we arrived and even carried our suitcases upstairs. As two young women staying there, we felt incredibly safe. I'm a light sleeper, but I slept exceptionally well here. The mattress was as soft as a cloud, and the soundproofing was excellent – we weren't disturbed by any outside noise. With the blackout curtains drawn, the room was completely dark and quiet, ensuring a perfect night's sleep until sunrise. From booking to check-in, any questions we had were answered instantly. The housekeeper also recommended many fun places to visit and authentic local dishes, showing great patience. We had such a happy and comfortable stay that we wanted to extend it for another night, but it was already booked. I was sad to leave, but I'll definitely choose Shilanli Inn again next time!

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.)
