Perfect
GGuest UserI used to hear my elders say that rammed earth houses were very comfortable when I was a child. They had good insulation, could return to the earth, and were environmentally friendly. After experiencing it here, I have to admire the wisdom of our ancestors; I slept soundly until morning. I'm also even more impressed that the guesthouse owner spent 7 years building China's first rammed earth wellness architectural complex, which includes:
15 Guest Rooms: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mattresses & Pillows
The mattresses and pillows are incredibly comfortable. After the owner introduced the brand, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up. I can only say that they are truly willing to spend money to ensure guests get a good night's sleep here – it's totally worth it!
Restaurant (seats 30): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service
The restaurant staff are all local villagers, and during meals, I experienced their thoughtfulness and hospitality. What I remember most about breakfast are the local savory butter tea and fried *baba*. There's also a super cozy real fireplace.
Coffee & Book Bar: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hand-Drip Coffee
As an old tea drinker who isn't particularly keen on coffee, I actually developed an urge to learn more about coffee here. The loft relaxation area (a favorite with kids) and the outdoor viewing area (super photogenic) are wonderfully designed.
Yoga & SPA Space: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything is Great
I searched on Xiaohongshu and found that there are quite a few people who love it as much as I do.
Sound Earth Theater: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (As many stars as possible!)
A theater where you can lie down to listen to music and watch videos. A true audio-visual feast that you need to experience for yourself!
Cigar & Wine Tasting Room: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Host's Passion and Professionalism
The host has a great passion for and professional understanding of cigar, spirits, and wine appreciation. Plus, they have a very impressive sommelier certification.
GGuest UserFacilities: Kohler bathroom, comfortable bedding
Hygiene: Clean under the bed
Environment: awesome, shaded by green trees
Service: considerate
The boss is very caring, every decoration, every angle feels that the owner has put a lot of thought into it, staying for one night, I can't tell you how comfortable it is, a place you want to live in again and again, the guest room, the restaurant, and the courtyard have their own characteristics, It was very quiet and unexpectedly cleaned well under the bed. I hope the boss will not forget the original intention and continue to work hard, and hope that every guest can find their heart here
GGuest UserThe room is clean and sanitary, the environment is beautiful and quiet, the service is warm and thoughtful. Due to landslides on some roads, it was not easy to walk, so we arrived at night. The owner provided us with dinner for free, which was very touching. Highly recommended!
AAnwenhubThe hotel is quite large for the area, so the parking lot is also quite large, which is rare in the area, and can probably accommodate over 20 cars.
The owner can arrange interactions with locals, home visits, and cultural heritage experiences. The bedding and toiletries are excellent. The shower has strong water pressure and plenty of water, and the shower floor drain drains quickly, preventing water from accumulating. Breakfast, tea/coffee, and meals by the fields are a fantastic setting. I found the breakfast delicious, featuring local, seasonal ingredients.
Tacheng isn't as well-known as Shangri-La in Lijiang. At an altitude of around 2,400 meters, the climate is excellent, and it's definitely worth a 2-3 night stay to experience it all. You can hike, harvest, meditate, and more. Most importantly, local ethnic minorities (think Tibetans and Lisu) still live here. From your room or balcony, you can see the fields working in the distance. I have to say Songtsam's location is a sure win. (This is not a review of the Songtsam Hotel.)
There are also many boutique B&Bs in the area, all very unique, so be sure to book in advance.
GGuest UserThe lobby is spacious and bright, with a natural combination of logs and green plants. You can see the green plants full of vitality when you open the window in the room. The lady at the front desk has a super sweet smile, a good service attitude, and quick check-in. The room is warm and stylish, and it's great for taking photos! The bedding is soft and comfortable, and you can sleep until you wake up naturally~
AAnonymous UserThe guesthouse is located in Tacheng, making it convenient for watching golden monkeys. The overall environment of the guesthouse is nice, the rooms are quite large, and the owner had arranged fresh flowers. There's a small balcony, and the owner was very welcoming. The breakfast was also quite plentiful. The only drawback was that the bedding wasn't very clean. When I lifted the covers, I saw long hairs and some black bits of dirt, which would be very unpleasant for someone with a strong aversion to germs. I hope they can improve their hygiene standards.
GGuest UserThis is a noisy hotel, we could hear the neighbours talking and showering. There was also a lot of noise from the street. It was quiet only after midnight. The room was clean, the sanitary facilities though outdated. Nice view of the mountains. Friendly owners.
WWanderingBritGood sized room, with complementary tea and water.
I had dinner downstairs and it was great value. I completely over ordered but they packed it up for me which was great
Stayed there to try and see the Yunnan Snub Nosed Monkeys.
Sadly I found out that the park was closed because of landslides. Nothing the hotel could have done about it, and they were helpful in arranging a bus back to Shangri-La once I'd found out.
No English was spoken, but they would help me through my translate app where I asked them.
GGuest UserThe proprietress is very welcoming, the location is quite good, the recommended location is also very good for eating, the environment is also very good, and the overall satisfaction
