Hotels in Upper Section of the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor, Dali City

Facilities: The room is huge and all the amenities are super smart. There's a 'Xiaodu' smart speaker for control, and a massive screen for projecting videos or playing music – it's awesome! Plus, a small bathtub, very comfortable~~ Environment: Absolutely fantastic! The guesthouse is right by Erhai Lake, and if the weather's good, you can watch the sunrise.

Seriously amazing 🫰🏻 The owner is really nice and helped with luggage when we arrived and when we left.

Afternoon Tea: There's afternoon tea every day, and it's not just a perfunctory offering – they have really delicious cakes and such. Welcome Fruit: Freshly washed fruit is provided daily. Service: The service is truly excellent. As someone who used to work as a server, I can say the attitude here is outstanding.

Had a fantastic stay here! The owner was incredibly kind and even upgraded our room because the one we originally booked had a broken appliance. The breakfast and afternoon tea were absolutely delicious! It's perfectly located right by the ecological corridor and Erhai Lake, so enjoying the views from bed was pure bliss.

The room I stayed in was incredibly spacious, bright, and clean. The air conditioning worked perfectly for cooling, and both the hot and cold water temperature and pressure were excellent. I had a really good night's sleep. The service was also fantastic. All necessary information, including the WiFi password, breakfast details, and laundry service, was sent promptly via WeChat. The room even had an umbrella and a canvas bag for guest use. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered a good variety of food. It's a perfect location for setting off on a bike ride along the Erhai Lake West Corridor, and it's not overly noisy or crowded. It's also not far from Dali Old Town, Three Pagodas Park, and Xizhou Ancient Town.

Traveling during the off-season, the owner upgraded me to a room on the second floor for free. I hadn't paid attention to the floor when I booked, but the second floor is definitely more comfortable; I could lie in bed and look at Erhai Lake. Out of all the scenery in the western section, this hotel's view is the most beautiful. There are no trees blocking the view, and it's not next to the commercial street, so it's very quiet. Waking up to the calls of grebes and egrets in the morning, and watching the shimmering Erhai Lake, gave me a Walden Pond-like experience. The hotel breakfast was delicious, and you can eat it anytime before 11 AM, which is perfect for sleeping in. I originally only planned to stay in Dali for two days, but I extended my stay by another day because the hotel was so comfortable.

The Ali family was incredibly kind to us This is the homestay that I believe is the warmest in Dali, because I experienced it firsthand. It felt like being with family The homestay is near Erhai Lake and you can easily cycle around the area. It's quiet, the rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. All food is Halal. The homestay offers breakfast. You can also order dinner (in advance) at the homestay. We arrived in Dali before check-in time and met Father Ibrahim, who upgraded my room for free, helped carry my luggage, and provided excellent service. Mother Fatimah was incredibly kind. She took care of us, helped us with everything, and even took us to a Halal restaurant for lunch and We ordered dinner; she made Yunnan-style food, including Pad Krapao (Thai food), since we like spicy food. Everything that night was nice. In addition, my shirt had a tear, and she offered to repair and sew it for me. And Bro,Ali, whom I met after arriving at the homestay. He greeted us and spoke English. Ali drove us to a Halal lunch spot a short distance from the homestay and He recommended places and also planned a tour itinerary for us in Dali. He was also very helpful if we needed anything. Ali was incredibly friendly. We quickly became close friends, like brothers we'd known for a long time. Ali drove me to see his second homestay on his motorbike and scooter, and took us to visit his own homestay located by the lake, which is only known among Chinese tourists. Unfortunately, Ali said the system hadn't approved it yet. We hope to see his second homestay soon, welcoming tourists from all over the world. By the way Ali also has a cafe called Boli by Erhai Lake he made me free coffee. (The second accommodation and cafe had a fantastic atmosphere.) They were easily accessible by bicycle. We received excellent care and attention from Bro Ali throughout our stay. On check-out day, Father Ibrahim and Mother Fatimah saw us off to the taxi. My relative in the group said that I felt very sad to leave. We felt more like we were visiting relatives than guests because he took such good care of us; there was nothing to complain about. I would recommend this to anyone reading this review. Please don't hesitate to book. It's worth it and you won't find another deal like it on Dali city.

The place is lovely, I’d definitely recommend booking a room with a terrace. The breakfast is simple but good, and the owner was extremely helpful. They organized everything we needed and even helped us deal with the road closures during the marathon.

The hotel boasts a prime location and convenient transportation. The rooms are spacious and the overall environment is comfortable. The only drawbacks are the less-than-ideal hotel facilities; the disposable toothbrushes and tissues are of average quality, and the breakfast is just average. Improving the quality and taste of the breakfast would greatly enhance the stay experience.

The room facilities are complete, with great attention to detail, and all the amenities are from good brands. The breakfast is rich and varied every day. The service is incredibly warm and attentive, and the airport shuttle service is also excellent. It would be even more perfect if there were dedicated non-smoking cars (no smoke smell in the car + driver doesn't smoke). I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Traveling with my best friend, I found this hotel after extensively researching various platforms like Trip.com. We specifically booked the 270° sea view room, and it absolutely lived up to expectations! We could literally enjoy both sea and city views right from our bed. Our location was also the best in S Bay. The hotel staff were very friendly, and the lobby on the first floor offered a superb view of Erhai Lake. Every afternoon, the hotel provides complimentary afternoon tea. Sitting by the sea, sipping coffee, and feeling the sea breeze was incredibly relaxing. Both the breakfast and afternoon tea were exquisitely prepared, beautiful to look at, and delicious.
