11363128****I made a last-minute decision to travel solo and hastily booked an Airbnb near the airport the night before. It ended up exceeding all my expectations!
First, the Airbnb offers airport pickup service, so I was able to get straight into the car upon landing and head directly to the accommodation. The room decor was cozy and charming, and having a bathtub really helped wash away the fatigue of the journey. The host was incredibly welcoming; when I overslept, they even made sure to call me down for breakfast. They also packed some delicious flower cookies for me to take on my way, setting a perfect mood for the first day of my trip!
The view from the rooftop is also fantastic!

ZZanjiadesanbaoThis hotel is absolutely stunning. In bustling Dali, finding such an oasis of tranquility is truly a rare gem. Even just unwinding on the balcony is pure bliss. The hotel also has an incredibly adorable, well-behaved, chubby cat! I absolutely adored my stay here. I only wish I had booked for longer; I'll definitely extend my stay next time. It completely surpassed all my expectations.
During peak season, I'd highly recommend avoiding Shuanglang – it's too noisy and congested. Stay here instead; it feels like you have Erhai Lake all to yourself. Seriously, you *must* book this hotel (and for more than a couple of nights if you can!), you won't regret it!
MM257049****This is my seventh time in Dali, and it's the best hotel I've stayed in out of five! First off, the room layout was exactly to my liking. I could lie in bed and watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake, and there was a sofa area, a round dining table, and a large bathtub by the floor-to-ceiling windows – definitely added to the relaxing vacation vibe! The bathroom fixtures were Kohler, and the walk-in closet and vanity area were very spacious. The curtains were automatic, and the AC and curtain controls were right by the bed, which was very convenient. The breakfast was unbeatable – braised chicken wings, braised beef brisket, honey-glazed ribs, and spiced beef. Being able to enjoy a buffet until noon was seriously impressive; I'd call it the ultimate spread. I also have to commend the daily fruit plate and goodnight dessert. Other places only offer it on the first day, but here, I stayed three days and got it every day – incredibly thoughtful. The hotel's front and back yards were also fantastic. My kids loved the slide and swings in the back, and the succulent boat was thriving. The parking lot was also spacious. The nearby ecological corridor had great photo spots, and there were lots of seagulls. When I checked out, I even received a parting gift, and there was a self-service fridge with drinks and beer. A perfect 100-point review, I'll definitely be back!

LLixiaobaoI was initially concerned that the Xiaomei King Room, which lacked air conditioning, would be hot and small. However, it was nothing of the sort – it was absolutely stunning, and the service was impeccable! My elderly companion did mention that the noise from duvets being washed at night made it difficult for her to fall asleep. Despite this, overall, we were very pleased. I had planned to visit the wetland park for the sunset, but a staff member advised there was no need, as we could enjoy the view directly from their property! They even provided a complimentary farewell gift upon our departure!

AAnTrieA very tastefully designed hotel with a cozy and welcoming lobby. The inner courtyard and garden deserve special mention – a beautiful, unique oasis with many plants, flowers, trees, and inviting seating areas that create a wonderful atmosphere to relax and feel at home.
Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything one could need. Everything was spotlessly clean. The service was good, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is offered via a small but well-chosen menu. Communication worked very well via WeChat using the translation function. We were especially grateful to the young staff member who helped us organize our onward journey to Shaxizhen 沙溪镇.
A big thank you to everyone at the hotel – we felt very comfortable and are happy to recommend it to others.

MM20457****Wonderful place: beat combination of Chinese traditional building and modern decorations, luxurious,comfortable, enjoyable. Good service. My friends and I had a great stay there.
In addition, the location of the hotel is very close the 崇圣寺三塔 and the old town of Dai. This is located in 海西 (west side of Erhai)region, which is convenient to go to 龙龛码头. So you may see the sunrise.
The food in this hotel is quite good. The breakfast buffet has many good choices. I almost forgot to mention that I realized one of my visiting wishes in the hotel restaurant, I had 炒见手青 dish one night. Very delicious
If I visit Dali again,I believe this hotel would be my first choice.

SshunshunmamaThe entire guesthouse feels like a French manor, facing Erhai Lake with beautiful blue skies and white clouds. The environment is absolutely stunning! The service was even better, with the housekeeper contacting us a day in advance and providing meticulous care throughout our stay. From helping with luggage to driving us out for meals, they even thoughtfully prepared facial masks for the ladies in the room, perfect for Dalian's dry plateau sun. The complimentary afternoon tea was superb; the coffee beans were of good quality, with a pleasant mild acidity and aroma. The cake was substantial and delicious. Sitting in the coffee shop, overlooking Erhai Lake, we had a delightful afternoon. The travel photography service was excellent too – beautiful scenery combined with a dedicated photographer made for a really enjoyable experience! Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this stay!
GGuest UserOur stay was absolutely exceptional, and it's the human touch that makes this hotel truly outstanding.
First, the basics: the facilities are awesome, and the rooms are impressively clean, comfortable, and new. Everything you'd expect from a great hotel is here.
But what moved us most was the genuine human touch. A special thank you to Xiao Shi. When we needed to do laundry, she kindly helped us arrange an outside service. However, the price was quite high, so we decided against it. Noticing our slight dilemma, and knowing that we were out and about in between itinerary, Xiao Shi went above and beyond – she personally helped wash our laundry to ensure we had clean clothes for our trip. This gesture of genuine care was unexpected and unforgettable.
Furthermore, the warmth of the owner couple made us feel like family. They always made time for a friendly chat whenever we crossed paths, asking about our day and offering local tips. They even gifted us with the local flower cookies when we left.
While the physical amenities are excellent, it's this profound level of personal care and hospitality that sets this hotel apart. Highly recommended to anyone looking for travel lodging with real heart and warmth!

MM18005****Excellent! It's extremely close to Dali Station, making transfers incredibly convenient. The overall hygiene, quietness, and room size are all good. The tissues and other paper products provided are of high quality. The toilet and shower are separate (wet and dry areas), and the hooks in the shower room are definitely a highlight. The parking lot behind the hotel also looks very good, and the Ba族 (Bai ethnic group) friend's Baoshan beef hotpot restaurant nearby is delicious.
Has Dali gotten rich lately? The area around the station and the hotel is incredibly well-maintained. Walking along the tree-lined street next to the hotel feels like strolling through a high-end community. I hope Dali and Yunnan continue to flourish.
I arrived quite late and left quite early, so aside from taking a few photos of the beautiful, dreamy night view of Dali Station, I didn't get a chance to photograph the hotel itself. Still, a full five-star rating!
