I wish there was a higher rating I could give because Orange broke the scale!
My girlfriend and I stayed with Orange for 4 nights and it was easily the favourite time of our trip in china. We spent a lot of time with her and her brothers (who were visiting her at the time) and we had the best time with them seeing the local life and enjoying dinners and drinks on the roof at night. If you're looking for a family in Lijiang, this is the place to come!
Thank you Orange! We miss you!😁🫶🍊
Response from Property: Welcome to the Orange family, where there are oranges, that's your home, and thank you so much for spending time with me in Lijiang! It was a very good memory! Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Even without orange this place would be a 10/10. The rooms are so cozy and feel like home. The view from the rooftop is amazing as well. But the real jewel of this place is Orange (the host). She took us out in the evening and went with us to the countryside. She is so fun to be around and just the sweetest person. I would have loved to stay longer and I hope to return to this hostel in the future:) if you are in Lijiang, this is the place to stay!
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing our homestay. It's been a pleasure meeting you and I'm so sad to see you go! However, time is short, and you need to explore more places. I hope you meet more interesting people in China and have a wonderful trip there. I look forward to seeing you next time!

Very cozy room, it has everything you need with cute decorations. The bed was very comfortable. The common rooms and the rooftop are very pretty and clean. The host and other guests were extremely friendly and helpful, so the atmosphere was like a big family. I can highly recommend Orange's hostel!
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing Orange Homestay. It's a great pleasure to meet you. The time we spent together was brief, but we were very happy! I will come back to China when I have time! I'll be waiting for you.

Orange is the best! She took us to the old city and showed us around, and suggested us to go do many things like cooking, playing together, go apple picking. She really do care for the people that are staying in the homestay, would highly recommend!
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing our B&B, wherever I am is your home in China! Welcome home!

I had a great stay, because the host was super friendly and the room was nice. We went on day trips and cooked together. This felt rather like family than being a guest. Highly recommend.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for choosing my home, it was a pleasure to meet you and left many beautiful memories, friendship regardless of nationality, our feelings will last forever, welcome to bring more German friends to China to play

I love everything about this hotel. The price is cheap but the room is really beautiful, have washing machine in the toilet, hairdryer, tv, kettle, walking distance to old town. Orange is really friendly and greated with fruits and also cooked lunch but had to refused since i am a muslim. We hung out at the rooftop to play uno card with her 2 brothers and friends. Her brother even sent me to lijiang railway station because there is no taxi available. I will definitely check in this hotel if i come to lijiang again
Response from Property: Thank you very much for choosing Orange's homestay. The brief gathering was very enjoyable and cherished. I also hope to leave you a beautiful memory in Lijiang. Come and play with friends from Malaysia next time! If I have time, I will also go to Malaysia to find you!

I had a wonderful stay in this cute guesthouse. It was very cosy, is walking distance to restaurants and the ancient town. Upon arriving, Chongyang and Orange (the owners) welcomed me with some fruit and cake, and invited me out on a drive to the countryside. They made me feel like family, and were happy to answer any questions. I will stay here again when I visit Lijiang again.
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing Orange's homestay. It was also a great pleasure to meet you, but the time was a bit short this time. However, we had a wonderful memory together, which is also great. I wish you a pleasant journey in China! Encounter more interesting people and things

The couple who own the place are super-friendly, they make you feel like home, like family. They invited me to join them for dinner twice. Orange is very meticulous & attentive - leaving me small gifts, very alert of what I like & don't like & go the extra mile to pre-book a taxi for me to the train station when I need to go off very early from Shangri-la city.
Wishing them wvery success in running the homestay, health & happiness always.
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing our homestay. My sister speaks Chinese very well and is a very nice person. I wish my sister all the best, and hope she goes to more places and meets more interesting people!

The homestay is warm and comfortable and highly recommended. There are leisure cabins specially designed for guests, with fruits, musical instruments, and tea. You can take photos and drink in the leisure cabins, and there is also a small kitchen for everyone to use.

The environment of the B&B is really great, the lady boss is really nice and gave a lot of travel advice. Her rooftop terrace is also really great, with a lawn and music. A few friends I just met were chatting up there, enjoying the sunshine and the moonlight at night. I didn't even want to go visit the ancient city and wanted to stay there the whole time, hahahaha.

A very pleasant stay! The decoration style of the B&B is very unique and full of artistic atmosphere. The room is fully equipped and the bed is very comfortable. The beautiful landlady is very enthusiastic and took us to visit tourist attractions, and we also cooked, drank and sang together.

[Hotel Name] The stay was fantastic! Highly recommended!
The most surprising thing about this trip was choosing the right hotel! From check-in to check-out, the entire process felt attentive and professional, and I give it a five-star rating.
Affordable price, beautiful environment
- Service: The details speak for themselves.
The front desk check-in was quick and efficient, and they even recommended nearby restaurants and travel guides. The cleaning lady thoughtfully left handwritten notes while cleaning and even sorted out the charging cables by the bed. Such thoughtfulness was truly heartwarming!
We even received a souvenir upon check-out. This thoughtfulness makes me want to come back! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Lijiang.

I traveled to Lijiang alone for two days and was truly pleasantly surprised and warmed by Sister Cheng's presence. Before I even arrived at my homestay, she thoughtfully prepared a cup of handmade lemon tea for me and left it waiting in my room. Upon arrival, she invited me to the rooftop for a chat and enjoy the breeze. The rooftop was beautiful, and Sister Cheng was even more beautiful. I had originally planned to explore the ancient town that day, but Sister Cheng was so welcoming that she couldn't refuse her invitation to dinner. That night, the four of us ate, drank, and danced on the rooftop until the early hours, feeling like old friends reuniting.
The next day, she patiently recommended Lijiang's worthwhile attractions and asked if I was having a good time and feeling safe on my own. I casually mentioned a craving for rice noodles, and she immediately recommended three different restaurants, each of which was incredibly delicious and fully satisfied my craving. During our evening out together, she even ordered a song for me: "Green Apple Paradise" by Little Tigers. That moment was truly touching. On the day of my departure, she even drove me to the high-speed rail station herself. Sister Chengzi kept saying how quickly these past two days went by, that we didn't get to spend enough time together. But for me, these short two days have already been a gentle and romantic journey. Lijiang is beautiful, and she made that beauty even more unique. I hope to see you again in the future, and hopefully next time we won't have to say goodbye so hastily.
To conclude, I'd like to borrow a line from a song: "Wandering children, please don't just stand there and stare blankly." Thank you, Sister Chengzi!

The environment is similar. If you don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, there should be no problem. The transportation is quite convenient. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the ancient city. It's a bit cold in winter. There is no air conditioning, only electric blankets. People who are afraid of cold should pay attention.

Response from Property: Thank you for choosing our homestay. We are a warm little shop and we welcome warm people. We have always charged economy rooms. If there is air conditioning, it will not be only 50 a night, and the electricity bill is not high either. We are all small businesses, so please understand. We have all the necessary facilities in the room, and the refrigerator and washing machine are also free to use. I also told you that if it is cold, we can add a quilt for you. Each of our rooms has good lighting, and the sun can shine in during the day. In Lijiang, there is basically no need for air conditioning because it is spring all year round and the temperature is more than ten degrees during the day. Finally, thank you for your serious evaluation!
