⭐️ Overall impression
TheBivou is located in a small street in the middle of Shuhe Ancient Town. You can enjoy the bustle of the ancient town and step into a quiet place at any time, just like being in a fairyland among flowers. The hotel cleverly combines traditional Naxi dwellings with modern design, with a sense of space and details, which is consistent with what is seen on the official website and traveler reviews, and the booking photos are absolutely correct.
🛎️ Service and staff
The staff are very friendly and fluent in English. They are always willing to help with car booking, guided tours, and tour introductions. The boss HweeLing and May, Daisy and other employees are very warm and make people feel at home. I personally experienced that their hall is open for a long time, everyone often has dinner and chats, meets friends from all over the world, and shares cultural topics. The atmosphere is relaxed and diverse.
📍 Location and environment
The hotel is in a very advantageous location: only a two-minute walk from the streets and attractions of Mingfeng Ancient Town; close to small bridges, flowing water, and farmland. During the day, you can roam the bustling market, and at night it turns into a quiet and secluded place, perfectly interpreting "quiet in the midst of prosperity".
🛏️ Room design
The rooms are minimalist and Zen-style, with good lighting and spacious space, and most of them have small terraces or courtyards for meditation. The bathroom is bright and clean, fully equipped, and presents unanimous praise from travelers.
🍴 Dining experience
The restaurant offers Western and Yunnan-style cuisine, which can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Yunnan red wine produced by the cooperation is especially recommended, which is not only delicious, but also deepens the local flavor experience. The breakfast buffet has a variety of items and "hot food on demand".
🌟 Subjective highlights
The check-in time was 6/17–19, and the overall experience was excellent. The staff took the initiative to care, provided tourist information and local guide services, and had no obstacles in communicating in English. I met foreign tourists in the restaurant by chance. The atmosphere was pleasant and the cultural exchanges were frequent, which also enhanced the sense of fulfillment of the stay.
⚠️ A little reminder
The only negative is that the boss and employees are too enthusiastic. Sometimes they chat too late. Those who are good at adjusting their rest time will benefit more from it. However, this is not a problem with the hotel, but it is affected by the enthusiasm. Some travelers may feel that the night is a little lively.
