Perfect
GGuest UserThis was a truly comfortable stay with a wonderful atmosphere. The room amenities were high quality, and the facilities were comprehensive, clearly anticipating guests' every need. The hosts and butler provided excellent and polite service. The location is on a small lane, which might be a bit inconvenient for taxis, but that's exactly the quiet spot I was looking for. The guesthouse's cats and dogs are incredibly well-behaved; you can tell they're well-cared for and thriving in such a comfortable environment, all plump and healthy.

GGuest UserOn my previous trip to Dali, I cycled around Erhai Lake on the west side and always wished I could stay there to watch the sunrise. This time, I stumbled upon Tingyun and it truly exceeded my expectations. I arrived around noon, and as soon as I got there, they proactively helped me with my luggage and even asked if I'd had lunch, immediately arranging some rice noodles for me. Shortly after checking in, they brought a fruit platter to my room. I had been worried about finding food on the west side of the lake, but Tingyun was incredibly thoughtful, even offering late-night snacks. Although the facilities are in a village, they meet hotel standards, and the little tables and chairs are a nice touch. There are plenty of outlets, the hygiene is excellent, the showers are comfortable, and they even use a Laifen hairdryer – no cutting corners here! I must especially praise the dining hall; the food is delicious and there's a good variety. They even prepared a souvenir for me when I checked out. Now that I've found a place in Dali that feels like home, I will definitely be back. If I hadn't had to catch a train, I would have certainly stayed longer.

JJovin_WongI had an absolutely wonderful stay at Dali Ancient Town Meishan Guesthouse, and it exceeded my expectations in every possible way.
Location – unbeatable and worry-free
The location is extremely convenient, right in the heart of Dali Ancient Town. As soon as you step outside, you’re surrounded by beautiful ancient streets and alleys, full of local character. 2-3 mins walk away from the Bars. Attractions, cafes, shops, and amazing food are all within walking distance, which made exploring incredibly easy and stress-free. From check-in to check-out, the entire stay felt completely worry-free.
Service – warm, genuine, and unforgettable
The biggest highlight of this guesthouse is without a doubt the host. The lady boss is unbelievably friendly, considerate, and welcoming. She is super nice, enthusiastic, and very meticulous in everything she does. From contacting me in advance, patiently explaining routes, to sharing travel tips and local suggestions, she made me feel taken care of even before I arrived. Staying here truly felt like coming home rather than staying at a guesthouse.
What made this stay truly special was the personal connection. She even invited me to join a barbecue with her and her friends. We had drinks, chatted late into the night, and shared stories about our cultures, life views, and experiences. Even though I only stayed for two nights, that evening made my time in Dali unforgettable. I felt incredibly lucky to have arrived back just in time for the barbecue.
The Bai Jiu, the Yi Zu-style barbecue pork, and the homemade dumplings she made were all fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxed, warm, and full of laughter. Even small details were fun, like the pot cover shaped like the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy, which gave us a good laugh. It was one of those nights you don’t plan for, but it’s the highlight of the trip that you will remember for a long time. 😎
Room & Sleep Quality – quiet, comfortable, and well designed
The room itself was quiet and very comfortable, with good sound insulation and a thoughtful renovation design that blends modern comfort with traditional charm. The bedding was clean and high quality, and the bathroom was spotless and well equipped. I slept extremely well every night. The entire guesthouse is beautifully designed, cozy, and relaxing, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring.
Value – exquisite and worth every penny
This is a highly cost-effective and exquisite accommodation. You can see the attention to detail everywhere, from the design to the service. It perfectly balances the charm of the ancient town with modern convenience. It’s absolutely worth experiencing, and I would not hesitate to stay here again on my next trip.
Final thoughts
I returned home a few days ago, but when I think back on my trip to Yunnan, Dali still stands out as the most chill and relaxing place and Meishan Guesthouse is a big reason why. The friendly host, the warm atmosphere, and the meaningful conversations made this stay truly special.
If I could give 11 stars, I would. Hands down one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Highly, highly recommended. Will definitely be back!!!

AAnonymous UserExceeded expectations! The room was fully equipped, comfortable, and luxurious. Staying with my whole family felt just like being at home. The hotel view is superb, with Erhai Lake right in front of you, and the massive windows offer panoramic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake! The staff were attentive, detailed, and warm. We immediately decided to extend our stay for another night!
We checked in on New Year's Eve, and we were able to watch the entire drone show and fireworks from the balcony, making for a very happy stay. The kids and seniors all loved it!
Welcome fruit and goodnight desserts were all provided, and breakfast was abundant!

GGuest UserThe room was well-equipped, and the quality was excellent. Stepping out, I found a beautiful garden with perfect lighting during the day, making every photo Instagram-worthy.
The service was top-notch, truly butler-style. They helped with luggage and even collected my takeout, all very thoughtfully and naturally. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and I could always ask for more. When I was checking out, the owner heard I was driving to Lijiang and specifically recommended taking the Niusha route, suggesting a stop at Shaxi Ancient Town first before heading to Lijiang. The drive was stunning; the scenery in Eryuan was just as beautiful as Erhai Lake, quiet and expansive.
From Shaxi, it was only about an hour's drive to Lijiang, making the whole trip leisurely and unhurried.
I particularly want to thank the owner and staff for making me feel so at home. Oh, and the owner has three super cute cats, which were an unexpected highlight of my trip!

Ssu_explorerI recently stayed here as a solo traveler, and this hotel was the highlight of my trip to Dali.
The hotel is located directly opposite the South Gate of Dali Old Town - truly steps away from the ancient city walls, only 3-4 mins walk yet it's quiet at night. There are also many delicious local eateries all within a 2-minute walk and also foot massage place. After you explore and have tired feet, I highly recommend that place - only 2 mins walk from the hotel. Calling a taxi (DiDi) to any attraction is also very convenient.
The hotel owner is an incredibly kind and genuine person. She made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Even though I speak very little mandarin, they made an effort to speak very slowly for me. The most memorable moment was when she invited me to join her and her friends for a home-cooked dinner at the hotel. As a solo traveler, that gesture of community was truly special and something I can't book on trip.com.
This hotel made my Dali trip unforgettable. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

GGuest UserMy stay at this sea-view hotel truly exceeded expectations! The room had an amazing view; opening the window revealed Erhai Lake, and the gentle sea breeze was incredibly refreshing. Watching the azure sky and sea during the day, and the sunset glow in the evening, absolutely elevated the ambiance. The room was clean and tidy, with complete amenities, and the soft bedding ensured a very comfortable sleep. The service was also very thoughtful and attentive; check-in was fast and efficient. The overall environment was quiet and pleasant. It's perfect whether you're looking to relax on vacation or simply gaze at the sea. Excellent value for money, I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit. Highly recommended!

GGuest UserSpent two days in Shuanglang, Dali, and the relaxed, slow pace of life was truly enjoyable. However, it was quite challenging to find palatable food with a lighter flavor profile. Luckily, we stayed at Erhai Xinglai Inn, where they served freshly baked waffles for afternoon tea and homemade rice noodles, porridge, and other nutritious, light, and delicious breakfast options in the mornings. Enjoying the food while gazing at the sea view really helped shed a year's worth of fatigue.
The three owners were especially warm and helpful [strong][strong][strong]! They provided tricycle pickups and drop-offs through the narrow alleys and even generously shared their waffle-making secrets [laughing][laughing][laughing]. The service was top-notch, and the local folk customs were incredibly simple and honest. I accidentally left my wallet somewhere, and half an hour later, it was still exactly where I'd left it, truly embodying the ancient virtue of 'no one picks up lost items on the road' [strong][strong][strong].

AAnonymous UserThe room is very suitable for those who want to enjoy the water and the scenery. The price is not too outrageous. It is a surprise to sit on the roof at dusk to enjoy the scenery. I don't like the commercial area of Shuanglang very much. This one is just near the Sun Palace. I like the small streets there. There are all kinds of food just a few steps away. The brother of the inn will take the initiative to call to help pick up the luggage. It saves lives for those who can't pull the luggage.

GGuest UserWe rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages.
However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang.
After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!
