Shaxi is a gem of Yunnan, a must visit in yunnan, and this hotel is ideal for exploring it as it sits right in it. The host family is very humble and nice people. The place is very beautiful, clean. The continental breakfast made by host lady was the best we had, even better than high end hotel we stayed before. They organized our transport on check out too. We will definitely return to this place again. Highly recommend.

Cute family owned hotel, super great price, location is right next to Dali Ancient Town and transport to Lijiang bus stop is 3 min away.
Standout was the absolute amazing service I received, especially from Joy. She warmly welcomed me and spoke a little bit of English, which helped a lot.
I had ideas about what I wanted to do, and she immediately knew what how to go about it with the time I had, where were the best places, how to get there, which places were the best spots etc. she even then went an extra mile and helped me organise activities in Lijiang that would have not been possible with my limited Chinese, and kept in contact with me even after I left the hotel
Truly made the experience one to remember, thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness, definitely recommend everyone to come for a stay!
Very Good

The CO value is high and the location is very good. Although you can't drive to the door, it only takes 5 minutes to walk in. Seeing that it was difficult to move our luggage, they helped us move to the first floor. The courtyard and room layout are clearly thoughtful and very beautiful. Due to the limited space of the old house, the room and bathroom are relatively small, but they are sufficient. Moreover, we like its space and location very much. It is more comfortable to sleep with an electric blanket! There are many tea rooms in the public space, and there are also delicious free refreshments and tea. It is very fun for friends to have dinner in the tea room together! I also highly recommend Weishan, a simple, beautiful and non-commercial city!

The courtyard of the B&B is very exquisite. There is a large tank for raising turtles, brocade, scattered succulent pine needles, and many traditional orchids. I really love it~ The room has a good orientation, clean and tidy, facing the mountain view, and the morning sun will shine in, which is quite healing. The room space is still relatively large, the toilet is divided into dry and wet areas, and the automatic heating toilet in winter is also a plus. For breakfast for two days, I had rice noodles once and rice noodles once. The boss lady cooked a warm homely taste, and my family liked it very much. It’s a pity that I didn’t have time to experience the tea table. It’s very cost-effective and recommended~

Traveling to Dali, I have been thinking about finding a homestay that can enjoy the beauty of Cangshan Mountain and is close to the Bohai Sea. This time I finally found it! This homestay simply satisfies all my illusions about accommodation in Dali, and I must give it a super five-star praise!

The aunt who cleans the room every day will clean the room spotlessly, and will also prepare some small snacks and fruits intimately. This meticulous service is really a plus!
What surprised me the most was the location of the homestay. Looking out from the window of the room, you can see the majestic Cangshan Mountain. The mountains are rolling and the clouds are lingering, like a natural ink painting. Wake up in the morning, the sun is shining on the snow top of Cangshan Mountain, the golden light is suffocating. The homestay is also very close to the Bohai Sea. It takes a few minutes to walk to the Bohai Sea. Walking along the Bohai Sea, blowing the sea breeze, enjoying the beauty of the Bohai Sea, and feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature. This feeling is really great!
The public area of the homestay is also very comfortable. There is a large open-air balcony with tables and chairs and umbrellas. Here you can enjoy tea while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Cangshan and Bohai Sea and enjoy a leisure time. There is also a small garden full of various flowers, flowers are overflowing, people feel happy.

The highlight of this hotel is the wonderful family who runs it. They are simply the best—so kind, incredibly helpful, and always ready to provide outstanding service.
The location is also excellent, very close to the old town, with a night market right in front of the house. Despite this, it’s quiet at night, so you can sleep well. The owners kindly let us use the washing machine and the terrace to hang our clothes, which was a huge help for long-term travelers like us. From the terrace, you can also enjoy beautiful views over Dali.
The only downside was that the bed was a bit too hard for us, as we’re used to softer mattresses in Europe. :) But overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

GGuest UserI booked two nights next to the ancient city of Dali. After staying there for one night, my kids said it was not fun just to walk around. I canceled the reservation at midnight and booked a hotel at Time Inn next to the ancient city. After arriving, I felt that both kids were very satisfied. The courtyard is very beautiful and warm, and the boss sister is very enthusiastic (their family came here from their hometown in Chongqing to play here before, but they couldn't take care of it and so they ended up living here permanently). We originally only booked it for one night, but the kids didn't have enough fun and stayed here for two days in a row. ! The eldest brother likes to eat the dinner cooked by the boss very much, it is delicious! (He had a bit of a problem with his mouth, but he said it tasted delicious. It must be better than what I made😋) About 100 meters away is Erhai Lake. We went cycling as soon as we arrived. I accidentally broke my knee, and the boss bought me iodine and povidone. He took anti-inflammatory ***** and enthusiastically took my two children to play on the beach. I was very touched! On the third day today, after having dinner with my sister's family, we rode the boss's tricycle to go for a walk on the Erhai Lake. Bashi's board! In the future, when we come to Erhai Lake, we will still book at my sister’s house. It’s very comfortable! (The tricycle is owned by the owner, so you don’t need to pay for it.) All kinds of travel ladies will arrange a comfortable one for us. We must give it a big thumbs up 👍

GGuest User#The service attitude of the elderly couple is very good! If it weren't for this service attitude, I would have really given a bad review. #The location and transportation are quite convenient. #The room along the street is too noisy, but the one inside is ok! The room facing the street is opposite a bar. They sing loudly until 12 o'clock at night, and then start singing loudly in the store. It is impossible to sleep well! It's noisy! I thought the singing would end at 2 o'clock, and that was it, but what happened! They were still singing at around 3 o'clock, so I asked the boss to switch to another room to sleep in. After tossing and turning all night, I feel like I didn’t get any sleep! Very tired, the room inside was ok, almost no noise. Don't go to the recommended photo studio! ! ! Bad service attitude! There are many hidden costs! The photography skills are terrible! In short, it’s nothing! Madam boss, please stop recommending photo studios

HHui Yi (慧怡)I am sooo happy with my stay. Their service was probably the best out of every hotel I’ve stayed in. The owner was very very helpful. He was also really open to sharing where to go and tips to get around. Location wise, it’s a bit further from the main attraction but you get a quiet stay away from the bustling street which is also within walking distance. Walking around gave me a chance to appreciate the town a little more. Veryyyyy clean, owner checks in with you if you’d like your room to be cleaned via WeChat. Overall, it’s a warm little stay operated by a family~ will definitely be going back again!

WWiing LiuAmazing view! Direct sunset view!
We stayed one night in August (Summer).
Pillow, blanket and bed were comfortable.
Toilet was humble.
Very kind and hard working hotel owner (well dressed and handsome too). He was very communicative, we added him on WeChat and he gave us detailed instructions and picked us up at the fork road, carried our luggages and walked us to the accommodation.
The accommodation is about 10-15 minutes walk to the main road where cars are allowed to drop off. We had huge and heavy luggage. We are extremely grateful that the owner lugged our luggage to the accommodation under the hot sun for us. He upgraded our room, and helped us to book a reliable driver to lijiang. He gave us tips on where to have breakfast and rent buggy. He also helped to liaise with the driver and carried our luggage to the car!!! It's 34 degrees Celsius here at the moment. We are so so grateful. Wishing the owner great success!
Recommendation:
1. Stay on the second floor onwards (less noisy and able to see the lake better)
2. Explore the track before the sun rises above the mountain (ard 6am). Walk 700m left of accommodation to book your vehicle. This will ensure you have enough vehicles to choose from, less crowded, avoid extreme UV, cooling weather, and get to Xin di cafe at a good time for breakfast!
3. Night time order meituan to accommodation so you can enjoy the view and eat at the comfort of your place. Couldn't find good and reliable restaurants around the area.
4. Manage expectations, there are bugs near the lake. Close the window at night.

XXena Gohthis is for you if you are looking for a hostel like experience, i was a little unlucky to check in at the time where the room was stuffy because of the weather and it took 3/4 hours before the room cooled down. and i also overlapped with the monthly electrical maintenance which meant i woke up to a black out / no electricity in the room.

RRichard LoriaThe best hostel experience I’ve had in years!!!
Dali Ankangyu Homestay was a truly fantastic experience. The hostel itself is gorgeous, the location is fantastic (still in the old town but on a calmer street), and the room was just what I wanted. But what stands out for me is the people who run the hostel. I’ve stayed at many a hostel and have never met staff as wonderful as they are at Dali Ankangyu Homestay. They repeatedly went above and beyond to solve my problems and to make me feel welcome, comfortable and at ease…
First, I arrived in the middle of the Chinese New Year and they promptly invited me to dine with them over a TRULY delicious meal. Later, I wanted to extend my stay and had an issue with my booking—one that they promptly helped me to resolve. Finally, after I incorrectly booked a train ticket they helped me resolve my transportation issues in the middle of the night. Wow, talk about above and beyond. They are a great crew, fun-loving, welcoming, and very much a family in their own right, and I would have loved to hang out with these guys more!
Dali Ankangyu Homestay is one that I’ll definitely be returning to, and one that I’d easily recommend to anyone rolling through Dali. Thanks Dali Ankangyu Homestay for all your help along the way. Hoping to see you all soon!

I have stayed in several in Dali and Kunming, and this one is better than the others, and it is the only one where the TV can be turned on. 🤩🤩 Nothing to say, if friends come, I will recommend it. There is also a restaurant nearby that is also very delicious. I recommend them together👍👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

It had all the amenities I would expect, including really nice (seemingly local) loose leaf tea to brew. The wifi was very strong and stable and easy to set up. I also appreciate that the shower had high pressure and hot water. The bed was comfortable too... with the kind of firm mattress that I prefer.
I should note that the location of the hotel is in the modern part of Dali, which is about a 30 minute taxi ride from the old Dali town. If you really want to be close to the Old Town or have picturesque views of the lake, then you should probably choose a different hotel. But what I like about this hotel's location is that it's very near to the train station (I walked from the train station to the hotel with all of my suitcases in about 10-15 minutes; no problem). The hotel is also only about 10-15 walk from the lake, so if you intend to ride a bike around the lake then you can rent a bike near the hotel or near the lake park and then find your route from there. Also, there is a variety of good, affordable restaurants to choose from in the neighborhoods around the hotel, with better prices compared to the touristy restaurants in Old Dali. All in all, I found this hotel to be a good value.

GGuest UserThe hotel is just 3 km from Dali Railway Station.If you are using the train,this hotel is one of the best options. I booked a room facing the lake. The view is awesome. There is a lift. The room and toilet are clean. There are basic amenities like body shower, toothbrush,hair shampoo,comb, mineral water,kettle and tv provided.
I get free breakfast. They serve plain porridge with condiments, boiled egg,steam corn and sweet potatoes,bread and buns,fresh fruits and warm soy milk.The food is yummy and delicious.
Didi is available all the time and easy to assess from the hotel.You may also be greeted by fresh fruit sellers outside the hotel.We do buy some fresh grapes.
The hotel reception Ms Xiao Yang is very friendly and helpful.She helped to book Didi to Muslim restaurant for us.We also asked her for help to order a packed lunch because it was raining and we couldn't get out. Despite her work shift ending,she still waited for us to make sure we were safely back to the railway station. I hope her boss will recognise the hospitality she showed.
I recommend this hotel to tourists. You will not hear the noise outside the hotel during your stay.
Hopefully the management can put the hotel name signboard in english so it is easier for tourists to book Didi. Overall I was satisfied with the room and the warm hospitality the hotel provides.
Thank you so much Ms Xiao Yang for your endless help.
