Top 5-Star Hotels in Diqing

Tickets for two people at the Balagezong Scenic Area (including sightseeing bus tickets): Very cost-effective, saving the ticket money for two people, and the room is very large, the staff are very enthusiastic, it is really lucky to meet such a scenic spot and staff when I take my parents out for the first time. The hotel is very good, the ecology is natural and there are many wild animals, and there are monkeys outside the window to accompany tea. Because the weather was bad, I waited for a day in Dukezong before going up the mountain. Because it was the first time to enter the ******* area and brought my parents who were looking forward to the journey and encountered rainy days, I was very nervous. As a result, Brother Dorje who came to the city to pick us up kept comforting us on the way, telling us about the customs of the ******* area, introducing the beautiful Shangri-La, and the sacred mountain of Balagezong. Brother Dorje is also very good at driving. My mother is an old car sick person. When we arrived at the hotel, she did not have high sickness or car sickness. It was cloudy all the time on the road. In the afternoon of that day, I visited the Echo Wall accompanied by the housekeeper. Suddenly, the sky cleared up, a crack appeared in the clouds, and the sun sprinkled on the Shangri-La Grand Canyon. It was so beautiful. The next day, there was a lot of fog on the way to the pagoda. The driver was very humorous and his driving skills were very stable. I saw many people on the Internet getting carsick on the way to the pagoda, but the passengers on the bus that day were very happy and no one got carsick. The employees of Balagzong should be very good. I was completely healed by the staff here. Ten minutes after arriving at the pagoda, the fog suddenly dissipated. The pagoda in the first snow appeared in front of us under the clear sky. It was so exciting at that moment. The highlight of this trip to Yunnan was Balagzong, where I seemed to see my parents when they were young, and they were as happy as children. Thank you for the silent dedication of the scenic spot and the staff. Looking forward to seeing you next time! Tashi Delek! 🙏

What an amazing experience, not only by the hotel itself, but specially by the service given by the concierge Becky. Extremely helpful with us (non Chinese speakers): gave us tips of the city, arranged a trip by car to the most important spots around, offered her phone in case we needed help with translation… This is what really made a difference in our stay at Shangri La hotel. I hope her manager takes that into account since it was by far the best service recieved. Big big thanks to Becky, honestly, amazing service offered, not to mention her permanent smile and willingness to help us. Having said all that, the hotel management must improve the English spoken by their staff. We REALLY struggled… thank god we had google translate. Except our beloved Becky, nobody spoke any English, not even the basics… Will defo come back ;)

I took my children to Shangri-La, the first stop of Yunnan, and the first hotel I stayed in was Boxin. When I stayed in the hotel, I saw the promotional video in the hotel lobby and learned that there are Boxin in Sanqingshan, Meizhou, Dali, and Lijiang. The designer combined the local style in each store. I felt that the service was so good that I changed the accommodation in Lijiang and Dali to Boxin Yunshe later, because it was reassuring, safe, and considerate. The environment is shown in the picture. It is the best in Dukezong Ancient City. The rooftop overlooks the ancient city and sees the largest prayer wheel. The blue sky reflects the golden prayer wheel, which is really a feeling of spiritual purification and melting. The service is attentive. The people here are very simple and responsive. Master Zhuoma was arranged to pick up the airport in advance. At night, the child was sent an oxygen cylinder after the altitude sickness. There is also an oxygen diffuser in the room. Two handsome guys also came to debug the oxygen inhalation mode. In terms of food, I drank hot butter tea as soon as I arrived at the hotel. A butler group was established, and 7 butlers served 24 hours a day. The early meal is as shown in the picture. Order in advance every day, and there are many varieties. The most reassuring thing is the supplies. The bamboo fiber bath towels, slippers, and peach wood combs are all brand new and can be taken away. It's very considerate. I can't write more, I will comment later when I have time.

We are travelling as a family with young kids. The location is convents located near the town centre, and 10 mins ride to airport. Besides View from room’s balcony is amazing, the staff are helpful and polite in assisting in all ways.

This hotel is perfect for those seeking to take a break from the usual crowds. It's a big property in a quaint village, surrounded by beautiful nature. Our room was more like a two storey villa, with the living quarter upstairs and dressings room, washrooms downstairs, made in old ******* style but with all the modern amenities tastefully integrated into the settings. I specifically loved the stream Infront of the hotel, taking a walk by it was amazing. A special shout-out to Murray and Dolma for making our stay special. Would love to come back here to experience another season!

Special thanks to Damon for his considerate service! We took the bus to the parking spot of Feilai Temple, and Damon drove to pick us up. Because we were traveling with children, we upgraded the space to be more suitable for children. The most warm thing was that we called in advance to inquire about check-in needs, and turned on the floor heating early. We made corresponding preparations according to our needs. We also prepared exquisite small gifts for the children, which they loved very much. Because of my temporary work, I also contacted the restaurant to provide a one-hour private room so that I could complete my work without being disturbed. Before going to bed, the weather was so cold, so I brought hot milk and fruit. When we left, they picked us up on time and took us to the bus stop. Their reliability and thoughtfulness made our family's trip to Meili Snow Mountain the most unforgettable trip. I can't thank you enough! The hotel's exterior shots of snow-capped mountains are very photogenic, and it's also very close to the observation deck, a 10-minute walk in the morning. I have stayed in so many high-end hotels, and the service and experience here are the best. I never write reviews, so I really recommend this place. The kind you enter with your eyes closed!

Songzan Benzilan Hotel sells 1280 yuan/person ”Niding hiking product”, the official said that the hiking + forest lunch is 6 hours long, and it is equipped with a housekeeper and guide. Although Goose, the actual itinerary 1.5 hours (including car, hiking) + lunch 1 hour = 2.5 hours, the actual situation is sauce purple: 🙈 It takes 30 minutes to drive up and down the mountain. During the period, the housekeeper and guide have a variety of happy chats, and the guests are snubbed. 🙈 Get off the bus and start hiking, walk along the forest stream, the guide is in front, far from the guests, walk about 40 minutes, the eyes are open, the end of the hiking is not preventable, as if it is just a step downstairs in the community.... The professional guide has no expertise, and the whole process is zero introduction. I don't know what forest, what river, what mountains, what flora and fauna I have seen; In short, it is 1200+ bought hiking products, and I am lonely 🌚 Comrades who want to buy this product are really insulting to human intelligence! It's not bad for money when I didn't say ha 🤣 Complain to Songzan customer service 🀄️ and see if you can give a satisfactory answer in the future. ❗️❗️ After years of hard operation, Songzan Hotel and Travel Products have firmly sat on the head brand of the middle and high-end market in Tibetan areas. Sure, we have zero tolerance for this kind of insulting IQ products. If Songzan does not give a reasonable solution, we must complain to the Consumers Association to the end!

Everything is tiptop!!! From the moments we reached Shangri-la by train, driver was waiting for us…fetch us to the hotel with the Defendar. The car was very very clean. All the facilities in the hotel was excellent! The architecture of the hotel is tibetian style. Many of the handcraft look nice. The view from the hotel can see the songtsam temple. High tea was provided, the egg tart taste delicious even it is winter. The breakfast had varities of food. The hotel included ticket to songtsam temple, even provided a free guide to explain while visiting the monastery. The shampoo and body lotion in the room was nice to used, especially in winter season. The skin feel very dry. (Hope that hotel would sell it online) The hotel area was very big, there are a lots of nice view to take photo. Even the hotel is big, they provide buggy car so you not need to walk a lot. All the staff was well trained, they served us like family. Very heart warming🥰 We would like to stay in Songtsam hotel again.

I can only repeat what the other reviews are mentioning: it’s clean, got good amenities, but everything seems a bit old. We had some WiFi issues but when it was working it was good. In general, the service wasn’t that great. We arrived tired after a long drive, no help with parking the car or the luggage. Check in was the most rigorous we had, even checking all the flight and train numbers we took. Also didn’t allow us to take a rest first. We went on a hike and wanted to take some Baozi from the breakfast - forbidden (I found that in China this is usually no problem). However, I think for the price it’s fine and while it doesn’t look like it, it’s quite clean. Also the dinner was quite good, breakfast not so much.

I am used to staying at Park Hyatt, St. Regis, W, etc. in the city. I must choose Songtsan when I go to Yunnan and Tibet. It gives you a vacation experience that those international luxury brands have never had. The word ”vacation” is emphasized here. Songtsan's unique itinerary can give you different surprises. Don't believe those Xiaohongshu and Internet celebrity check-in attractions. Just follow Songtsan! Shangri-La Airport also has a special lounge that is intimate and comfortable. This time, Songtsan is the first time I have actively written a review in the past ten years since I stayed at Ctrip. Finally, let's talk about the disadvantages. Songtsan has only one disadvantage, which is that it is expensive!
