Elodie private resort at Lugu Lake ★★★★

"Exceeded expectations! The room was very clean, with a great view of the lake right outside the window. The staff were helpful with luggage, and breakfast was delicious. They even offered afternoon tea. A word of caution to those driving from Dali: avoid driving at night, as the mountain roads are very dark!"

Qianshanji Hotel ★★★★

"The view outside the room is stunning, offering the best lake view of the entire環湖 area right from the window – no need to go out and search for scenery along the lake! The sofa design is excellent, and the afternoon tea and snack selection are also quite rich."

Sanseyunhe LuguLake Hotel ★★★★

"The moment I opened the door, I was stunned by the view outside the window – completely unobstructed! The door opens fully, and the balcony has a single pane of glass, making it a spot you just don't want to leave. The green beanbag chair is a huge bonus; it's so comfortable for reading, relaxing, and enjoying the scenery. The room itself was spacious, bright, and impeccably clean. The front desk staff were all very friendly, and I especially loved the butler, Zhima, who provided thoughtful and enthusiastic service. In the evenings, we could watch movies on the projector, and there was a great selection. I stayed at three different hotels around Lugu Lake for three days, and this one offered the absolute best views and experience. I was so sad to leave. Next time I have the chance, I'll definitely stay at Sancai Yunhe for more days!"

Borei Yunlan Resort Hotel (Lugu Lake Daluoshui Store) ★★★★

"The hotel environment was clean and comfortable, and my stay was excellent. A special thanks to our butler, Erche, for their meticulous and attentive service. They were very helpful in answering questions and assisting with various arrangements, which made my trip feel much more secure and enjoyable. Highly recommended."

TORRE DE MARFIL ★★★★

"Dingxia Island: The Forest Tea House Hidden in the Mountain Night, the Biggest Surprise of This Trip Beyond the beautiful lakes and mountains of Lugu Lake, Dingxia Island offered an experience that far exceeded my expectations. While the gorgeous lake-view rooms were a highlight, it was the forest tea house, meticulously crafted within the resort, that truly captivated me. The entire resort is built harmoniously with the mountain slopes, featuring staggered old wooden cabins, thatched roofs, and scattered tent accommodations nestled amongst the pine trees. As night falls, warm string lights illuminate the pathways, blending seamlessly with the evening, the pines, and the vegetation, creating an incredibly enchanting atmosphere. Strolling along the stone steps, each turn reveals a new picturesque scene—be it a triangular tent or an independent wooden tea room—each space possessing its own unique charm. I particularly loved the forest tea house. These independent wooden tea structures, set amidst the woods, with paper lanterns, low tea tables, and futon cushions, perfectly encapsulate the essence of the wilderness and tea culture. Sitting here brewing a pot of Pu'er, with the deep mountains visible through the window and the evening breeze rustling through the pine branches, all urban anxiety and fatigue simply melt away. It's an ideal spot for a quiet tea gathering for two, or a small salon-style meeting with friends, offering an unparalleled ambiance. The LOFT duplex lake-view room we stayed in was equally impressive. With its two-story layout, the space felt expansive and comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered direct views of the entire Lugu Lake, and the tatami tea table by the window was perfect for enjoying the lake and mountain sunset at leisure. All the hardware was brand new, the lighting was soft and sophisticated, and the heating was ample. Parking for self-drivers was convenient, making our travels worry-free. The staff provided genuine and thoughtful service, offering practical local recommendations without being overly polite. This place offers not only prime, front-row views of Lugu Lake but also a unique mountain forest tea space. It's more than just accommodation; it's a destination where you can immerse yourself in tea and unwind. Whether you're traveling with family or with fellow tea enthusiasts, Dingxia Island is well worth a special trip to Lugu Lake. Pros: ✔ The forest tea house boasts an exquisite Oriental aesthetic and an exceptional tea-brewing experience. ✔ The LOFT duplex room is spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering direct views of Lugu Lake. ✔ The nighttime lighting creates a stunning landscape, with diverse scenes featuring cabins and tents. ✔ New hardware, excellent heating, and convenient parking for self-drivers. ✔ Practical and attentive service, providing useful local travel advice."

Yuexi A'xia Manor Hotel ★★★

"The stay was great. The room was quiet and clean, and check-in was quick and smooth. The location is easy to find, very close to the Daluoshui Village bus stop. The facilities are complete, the courtyard is beautiful, and the staff are friendly. I got a good rest after a long journey. Highly recommended."

Lugu Lake Anxia Resort Hotel ★★★★

"This treasure homestay beats many five-star hotels in details. There are many restaurants nearby and there is a lakeside trail downstairs, which makes it very convenient to get to restaurants or the pier. It is a real enjoyment to bask in the sun on the balcony, drink ice lemon cola, feel the breeze, and stare at the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend everyone to come and experience it!"
