I stayed here for two nights. It’s a small guesthouse located in the old town area. Large vehicles cannot access the alley, so if you have luggage, I recommend using a trolley. There’s a baggage service at the entrance for about 20 yuan.
Most of the staff here speak only Chinese and don’t understand English, so if you’re a foreigner, I recommend downloading a translation app in advance. However, they are very kind, providing warm service and always willing to help with everything, from booking tours and recommending restaurants to suggesting places to visit.
Even on the way back, they helped call a car for us. The entrance to the guesthouse may seem small, but it extends deep inside with multiple rooms, ready to accommodate travelers. It’s located in the old town area, where you can walk around and explore almost 24/7.
Highly recommend to stay here if you come Lijiang. ♡♡♡

Read a lot of reviews before booking this hotel and I am definitely convinced this is a 5 stars for location, amenities and service!
Hotel is within Lijiang ancient town means it’s very convenient to food and shopping area and it’s near the carpark means it’s accessible by car even though it’s in the old town.
Room is huge and is smart controlled, comes with Marshall speaker and Dyson hairdryer and also a humidifier. Bed is very comfortable. Hotel is beautifully renovated with many instagrammable corners. Breakfast has the Yunnan delicacy rice noodles and buffet, good night sweet soup is nice too. A pity I missed all 3 days of the afternoon tea break which looks good, as I was out most of the afternoon.
Best part is the service of the staff, everyone is so friendly, helpful especially our butler / manager Ah Hua, he guided us how to tour around Lijiang ancient town and give us advice on what to try or avoid, which is definitely very helpful for first time visitors like us. We really feel like home at La Maison and will definitely stay here next time and recommend to others!

Open the window and you will find your urban utopia by the Shanlan River.

No words to describe how amazing our stay was here. The place is clean and location is great. Right in the middle of the Old Town. The view from the room (facing the river) was very pleasant! The owner and staff were all welcoming and friendly, even when there was language barrier. They made us feel comfortable throughout the stay! They also arranged the pickup and drop off (from the airport and to the train station a week in advance) and everything went smoothly. I cannot recommend this place enough. Great value for money! Plus, the breakfast was delicious too!

Location is probably the best if you want to stay at GuCheng as it is only 50 meter from the main road. The boss are extremely helpful in giving suggestions about travelling. The room and hotel setting is very authentic. The insulation is a problem for my family as it get very cold at night despite the heater is working hard.

We had a great stay at this hotel the location is very convenient in Lijiang ancient town but it’s by the street so that cars can stop by the entrance of the hotel.
We were welcomed by the front desk team that helped with our luggage. We initially booked a twin room but the room we had booked was a bit dark and we asked if there was any other room available. One of the employees named 阿鑫 quickly helped us to check and offered us an upgrade to a suite instead which was much better.
The room was very clean and modern with a beautiful view of the ancient town. We also received free minibar and welcome fruits which was very nice.
Furthermore, 阿鑫 helped us to introduce all the important tourist attractions and restaurants as well as bars. She helped to book tickets for the attractions that we wanted to visit and also followed up to see that we were happy. Her friendly and professional service made us feel very happy and we enjoyed our short stay in Lijiang very much.

We stayed here for 4 nights during our trip to Lijiang. Although it is located outside the old town, it is convenient as they offered free transportation to the old towns (Lijiang & Shuhe old towns). The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the lady staff (forgot to ask for her name), also gave us good advices on our itinerary. They served good breakfast and catered to our requests all the time. They even offered us free tea and snack when we visited their branch at Shaxi old town. A big thumbs up to all of you for your excellent hospitality making our stay memorable. Definitely will choose to stay here if coming back again!

Our stay at Xinsu has been nothing short of amazing. What differentiates this homestay from the rest is the warmth we experienced from the staff. The staff were all very kind and friendly, chatting with us and sharing their knowledge of Lijiang and the Chinese ethnic culture.
We had arrived in Lijiang with a very skeletal itinerary and no clue that we had to book Jade Dragon Mountain 3 days in advance. The staff at Xinsu thoroughly went through our itinerary with us and suggested various locations including Lashihai Wetland Area. They also tried their best to help us fight for the last minute tickets to Jade Dragon Mountain. Although we were not able to secure the last minute tickets, we are incredibly appreciative of the effort from the staff as they went the extra mile to extend a helping hand. Xinsu staff were also very conscientious, helping us to arrange private transport with a lady driver as we were two female travellers. The lady driver was also very accommodating and had continued to bring us around when we travelled up to ShangriLa.
As an accommodation, Xinsu had everything we needed as well, lots of water for us to get used to the lack of humidity, a humidifier, a washer and dryer that was easily accessible. When we ordered in some Aloe Vera gel for some sun burns we suffered, the staff mentioned that guests could simply ask them for such items, and there was no need to spend the extra dollars. We were very surprised to hear that, as we did not have much experience with home stays before. This made us feel very well taken care of.
Best part of Xinsu was the location. We could see the Jade Dragon Mountain every morning and the hotel oversees the rest of the Lijiang Ancient City. It was a very beautiful sight to wake up to in the morning, and a serene way to end our day when we returned to spend the night.
Note to future guests: Be sure to reach out to the homestay as early as possible. Xinsu staff earnestly help to make your stay with them as smooth as possible.
Word of caution to future travellers visiting Lijiang Ancient City: As the paths are made of pebbles/stone and have been gradually polished over the years, please wear a good pair of shoes and walk carefully through the city. We had heard from the staff that it is a common occurrence for guests to sprain their ankles, and we ourselves had almost slipped a few times as well.

Location is secluded from bustling 古城南门, quiet.
Might not be suitable for travellers who prefer easy access to 北门, not far but still a short walk.
Room fully automated with AI 小狄 to control all switches. Lol. May not be user-friendly for some if cant speak fluent Chinese to give instruction to 小狄.
But 小黑管家 is helpful. She helped to arrange and coordinate with our next hotel to move our luggage from Puzi to Cathay, which is about 1km away.
We are thankful for 小黑管家 kindness.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel conveniently located within the 古城 (Old Town). One of the biggest highlights was the pick-up service provided by the hotel — a true lifesaver, as navigating the maze of exits in the old town (where cars aren’t allowed) would have been quite a challenge on our own.
From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. We were warmly welcomed with tea and a thoughtful introduction to the amenities in our room, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay.
Breakfast was another standout — delicious and satisfying.
Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended if you’re planning a visit to the 古城!

Choose to stay here because its a new 5stars hotel in the area. It is a really mixed feeling about this hotel. Let me list down the pros/cons.
Pro:
- right above lijiang ancient town
- bed and duvet are super comfortable
- they have bidet and heated floor!! 👍🏻
- room interior is beautiful and well equipped. So many free goodies.
- the view from breakfast area is AMAZING. On good days You can see the mountain from there
- their butler service is SUPER amazing! THANK U LI JIAHAO (and friends!!) for you excellent service during our stay. He is so fast, reliable and attentive. You all are the highlight of my stay in this hotel👍🏻
Cons:
- its a physical challenge right from you get of your car. its above lijiang ancient town, so check in/out, go to ancient town or back to the hotel you have to climb/down stairsss. Travel with little kids or elderly? Avoid!!
- unstable hot water for shower. The average weather was 1c during our stay, to shower with lukewarm water is a nightmare.
- its a really small hotel more like guest house, and our room is near busy street that is very noisy! I can hear car honking even at midnight and as early at 6am😭.
- breakfast is average
- it was my birthday during my stay. The hotel did not give any attention at all, not even a birthday note, let alone a little cake. Our butler help my husband went buy cake late at night so I can have a little celebration 😅😅
- in my opinion it is more suitable to be called 4stars hotel. And price is too high I expect more benefits like any other 5stars hotels, yet other 5stars hotel price is 1/3 less (beside Amandayan obviously) compare to this hotel.
Conclusion: I enjoyed my stay. But will not return here for my next trip.

GGuest UserEverything about this place, from location to hospitality, is amazing! The homestay arranged to pick us up at an intersection and carried our luggages all the way.
The sound proofing of the rooms are not that good though, so a word of caution for light sleepers.
During our stay, 小李 took really good care of us, never failed to ask what we intended to do on each day, provided help and suggestionsto us on what to do. We started and ended each day chatting with him. 😊
On our check out day, we had to leave at 6.30am to Shangri-La and 小李 woke up to help us with our luggages and waited with us till our driver came! We could not thank him enough and appreciate him going all the way to help us.
We had a wonderful 5-day stay and Lijiang made an impression on us. We definitely recommend anyone to stay there..

RRaviphaIt’s a small cosy bed and breakfast with the cutest and most attentive hosts. I was upgraded to a bigger room with a window and two floors. Heated blanket is provided but I didn’t have to use it as the room was already toasty warm just with the heater. The toilet has a bidet, just the perfect addition. The host is extremely attentive and helpful, always asking if I need any tea or snacks whenever they see me.
I also got help from the hotel in securing my day tour at jade dragon snow mountain. The host also packed some food for my mountain day trip, and when I came back, offered some ginger tea and snacks. I was so touched as I was completely exhausted and extremely hungry! Everyone at the hotel was so nice and attentive it made for a very comfortable stay. Oh yes, and don’t have to worry if you don’t know much Chinese as they are able to speak English as well!
The location is very convenient, right next to Mu’s mansion. So even if i just wonder around or if my phone map doesn’t work, i just followed directions to mu’s mansion and found the hotel very easily.
Overall I was very happy with my stay here. Thank you!!

GGuest User🌟 A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Ancient Lijiang! 🌟
My stay at Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden was nothing short of magical! Nestled in the enchanting lanes of Lijiang Ancient City, this hotel perfectly blends traditional Naxi architecture with modern comfort. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a refreshing cup of local tea—a lovely touch that set the tone for the entire visit.
The rooms are a serene oasis, tastefully decorated with wooden carvings, soft linen, and elegant touches that reflect the region’s cultural heritage. I loved waking up to the gentle sunlight streaming through the latticed windows and the soothing sounds of the courtyard fountain. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were top-notch.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its “Academic Garden” concept. The lush courtyard, filled with blooming flowers and ancient texts on display, feels like a peaceful retreat for the mind and soul. I spent hours reading in the cozy library nook or sipping Yunnan coffee on the rooftop terrace, which offers stunning views of the ancient tiled rooftops and distant mountains.
The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable—whether it was recommending hidden local eateries, arranging a sunrise hike to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, or sharing stories about Naxi culture. Their hospitality felt genuine and heartfelt.
Location-wise, it’s unbeatable! You’re steps away from the bustling markets, quaint cafes, and the iconic Sifang Street, yet the hotel remains a quiet sanctuary away from the crowds. Don’t miss their breakfast spread, featuring local specialties like Lijiang baba (savory pancakes) and homemade yogurt—it’s the perfect way to start the day.
If you’re seeking a stay that combines culture, comfort, and tranquility, Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden is an absolute must. I left feeling rejuvenated and already dream of returning!

MMellomiI stayed at cure bleeding for 3 nights and met some nice people.
The owners took the initiative to message me on trip app before I arrived (which I regrettably missed out) so check your trip inbox when you’re heading over. The lodging is near to the entrance, a few minutes down the slope and can be recognised by their white coloured short wall. The lodging is family run and Boss’s brother personally came to fetch my friend and I from the entrance. He helped carried our luggage to the lodging (thank you!)
Room is cosy with some automated features (e.g offing of lights using voice command). Pretty nice if you just want to lounge in the room after walking the ancient city. The toilet comes with heated toilet seats with an auto flush system. The lodging provides bathroom slippers to use as the toilet floor gets wet after bathing. Fruits, tea and snacks provided upon arrival (see photo)
Personally prefer their mee xian for breakfast, my day 3’s meexian was good! Boss invited me to join for a drink at the front yard on one of the nights and I got to know some nice people- it’s safe, the boss made it a point to see that I reached my room safely.
To note: the naxi photoshoot is outsourced to a company. It is complimentary with the stay in terms of the shoot plus the make up but they charge for the photos (1 free photo per room, 50rmb for each subsequent photo). We were told at the start and decided to continue for the experience.
Managed to do a comfortable and economical share ride back to Dali through arrangements made by the inn. Overall, there is a personal touch to this inn. Will come again!

PPHARNUTCHARGORNI highly recommend this accommodation, which offers excellent service and very clean rooms. The room views are stunning, and you can clearly see the ancient old town of Lijiang from your balcony. The staff is warm and friendly, making you feel welcome.
The accommodation is in an excellent location. It is also home to one of the most beautiful-view cafés in Lijiang. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants and shopping spots, providing great convenience. Despite its central location, the rooms are quiet, ensuring a peaceful stay.
They respond to messages very quickly, and you can communicate any requests during your stay in Lijiang. They provide free pick-up and drop-off service at the high-speed railway station. Additionally, they assist with handling all your luggage from check-in to check-out, which is especially helpful since Lijiang’s stone-paved streets make rolling suitcases inconvenient. They also arrange airport transfers and a one-day tour to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, including a show, at a reasonable price. The vehicles used for transportation are of high quality.
Especially Xiao Su and Xiao Yang, who provided us with professional service and excellent arrangements, making our vacation in Lijiang absolutely perfect. We received service beyond our expectations in every aspect. The internet connection was highly efficient, allowing my husband to work seamlessly while staying here.
On the day we checked out, we had the opportunity to take a photo with Xiao Su. She and her team warmly saw us off to our car, making our departure just as memorable as our stay.

HHDTVA small homestay located in the heart of the old town. There are enough shops and restaurants nearby. It's about a 10 minute walk to both the north gate and the south gate. Keep in mind if you have heavy luggage you would need to drag it around the cobblestone streets because no vehicle can reach the place.
The service of the owner alone makes me rate this place 5/5 stars already. It didn't matter how many questions I asked, everytime he helped me out. If you are a solo traveller or don't speak any word of Mandarin then this is a great place to stay, the owner will make sure you don't get lost.
While the service was perfect and couldn't be any better there are some negative things worth mentioning.
First of all, the soundproofing is really bad. The room's door is full of holes and gaps so you can hear everything that is happening outside. Moreover, you better make sure you don't have any upstairs neighbours because you can hear everything what they do as well: moving around on the wooden floor, flushing the toilet, opening the tap, taking a shower.
Second, talking about showers, the shower in the room takes quite some time to heat up (similar to most hotels in China) but the more annoying part is that its impossible to get the right temperature for the shower: its either way too hot or cold.
Lastly, the curtains were full of disgusting stains and didn't block out all the light so I recommend just getting them replaced.
All in all, this place has some positives and some negatives. Decide for yourself if you want to stay here. In my opinion, despite the negatives, I would definitely stay here again and recommend you to do the same.

AAliang (Kim)I got to know this hotel through some positive review from other guests and decided to try it out as I am not familiar with this place nor do I know anyone here. Glad that I did as it turns out to be an excellent experience. The hotel location is easy to reach as it is just a few minutes walk from the main road and it is right next to the old town (丽江古镇)。It is also right in front of a beautiful pond. The room is clean and tidy, everything works, breakfast porridge is tasty. But most importantly the hotel management are extremely friendly and helpful – this make my trip so much more easy and enjoyable. Ann (冰冰) is an excellent manager who offered me valuable advises and tips on where to go , what to do, what to avoid and she helps me with all my booking for the side trips – I had an easy time visiting the snow mountain (雪山), Lugu Lake (泸沽湖) and watch the magnificent Lijiang performance (丽江千古情) . All arranged and well managed with Ann’s help. This is so important when we heard so much negative comments about travelling to Lijiang from unscrupulous tour operator but here I am glad I met honest and reliable people. So if you are new to Lijiang and need guidance, I strongly recommend staying here and speaking to Ann. She is candid, transparent and helpful. The hotel is a beautiful place but the people makes the entire experience even more wonderful .

AArifThe biggest highlight of this accommodation is the incredibly kind host. Very helpful with many matters.
At first, it was difficult to find the location, but the host guided us. Taxis can't reach the front door, but no worries—the host was already waiting to help carry the luggage. The location is at the entrance of Lijiang Old Town, on a hill with an amazing view. Close to shops and restaurants.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with flower cake and Pu'er tea.
You’ll receive assistance with anything related to your trip in Lijiang.
The bed is comfortable for sleeping. The building is an antique-style house like those from ancient China, which I really like. The only downside is that the partitions between rooms aren’t very soundproof, but again, they offer solutions for that.
A great place for your holiday in Lijiang. Definitely will come again.

EETIENNE FRANCOIS MARIEWe had 4 lovely days in this beautiful hotel. We felt very welcome and like at home. We had a huge terrace covered with flowers. The team is lovely, they helped us to carry our luggages and gave us few advices. It is very close to the center but not too close to avoid the noise at night, so the location is absolutely perfect.
The bedroom is spacious and the bed big and very comfy.
The hotel is full of small spots, all more beautiful than the others, and it was super fun for our 2 girls to explore.
We had the best time there and we will definitely come back.
Thank you to the full team!
