Hot Springs Hotels in Yunnan, China

I won't say much about the good and bad of the villa. I give it three stars for the overall evaluation. I probably won't go there again in the future. The stream is very dirty and you can't catch fish. You can't see the sunset when riding up the mountain. I give the restaurant 80 points for the food, but I have to give it 100 points for the service. There is a chef who is very nice. You can ask her to cook for you. The taste is great. 👍👍 A reminder to friends who drive. You may get your car scratched and there is no place to appeal. Let me talk about my experience in detail. I rented a car from Pu'er Station and drove to Aini Manor. The road was winding all the way. The road was easy to drive, but there were too many bends, so new drivers should go slower. There is a row of parking areas at the front door of Aini Manor. Because I rented a car, I took extra care of it. At about 8 o'clock after dinner on the night of check-in, I checked the whole car and went back to the room to sleep. When I checked out at 10 o'clock the next day, I suddenly found a scratch on the right side of the car from the front to the back (from the front wheel fender to the rear wheel fender). It didn't seem to be an accidental collision, but it felt intentional. So I found the manager of the villa, Mr. Zhao, and arranged to check the surveillance (only the parking spaces facing the lobby door can be seen clearly because there is no surveillance outside and can only be seen through the indoor surveillance). My car was not parked in front, so the surveillance could not see the details. I called the police, but because I had a later trip, I could not wait for the police who would come two hours later. I had no choice but to sacrifice several hours in order not to be fined a large amount of repair fees when returning the car. I searched for repair shops around Baidu and polished it myself, which cost 100 yuan. After negotiating with Manager Zhao, because the accident happened inside the villa, the villa should also bear a certain responsibility for the care of the vehicle and should bear my repair fee of 100 yuan. But! Manager Zhao did not respond to my WeChat. Anyway, you have left, and the attitude of completely ignoring it is really chilling. Friends who go to play again, protect your car and don't let such unpleasant things happen! ! ! Friends who rent cars must buy full insurance, including scratches, so you don't have to worry about it😭

Back in Dali, I decided to revisit the Xianyun 360-degree Cliff Seaview Hot Spring B&B, and it truly lived up to expectations! The front desk staff were incredibly polite and attentive. I later found out that the humble and helpful manager, who was always ready to assist, was also from Beijing, which made me feel right at home. The B&B's environment is serene and immaculate. The private hot spring pool in the room is definitely the highlight. Soaking in the hot spring, you're directly facing the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake – it's like a landscape painting come to life. During my downtime, I loved sitting on the balcony, gazing at Cangshan and Erhai, which was incredibly therapeutic after a long journey. The restaurant's dishes were delicious and flavorful. My experience was as excellent as ever, truly a hidden gem of a seaview B&B. Choosing to stay here twice speaks volumes about its reliable quality. It’s my top choice when visiting Dali, highly recommended! Amenities: Excellent Hygiene: Good Environment: Beautiful Service: Fantastic

The room was very spacious and well-equipped. The decor and design were fantastic. The renovation of the historic building is quite unique, and the courtyard is breathtaking. The housekeeping service was excellent, and any requests were promptly addressed. The breakfast was also delicious, featuring some unique dishes. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yunnan.

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. I was quite hesitant before choosing it, especially after reading about the negative elevator incident, which made me really worry about safety. So, every time I took the elevator during my stay, I was on edge. The main reason I decided to stay was for the hot springs and swimming pool, as it's been raining a lot in Kunming recently, and I figured we'd just enjoy the hotel. Honestly, I wasn't particularly impressed with the service, and the facilities are quite old, very old. If it weren't for the constant rain and traveling with a child, I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel. Especially after visiting Fuxian Lake, the comparison really highlighted its shortcomings.

Bringing my parents to Lijiang, the Banyan Tree Lijiang was an unexpected and delightful surprise. This is a remarkably distinctive Chinese courtyard-style hotel, and staying here truly made me understand what it means to “live among bamboo, in fragrant rooms, with a tranquil heart.” We stayed in the standalone villa 2130, and from the bed, we could gaze upon the bamboo shadows and Japanese maple leaves in the courtyard. When the wind blew, the dappled tree shadows danced on the wall, like a living ink wash painting. The wooden tones of the room and the subtle sandalwood fragrance complemented each other perfectly. It wasn't just superficial oriental symbols, but a profound and substantial Chinese aesthetic. Even behind the vanity, there was a reflection of swaying bamboo shadows, and at that moment, I truly understood the meaning of “one cannot live without bamboo.” What touched me most was the long-lost, absolute quiet of the private space. For every meal, we chose to dine in our own courtyard. The outdoor breeze, the light in the yard, the warm food, and each other's company made for a relaxation that felt almost luxurious. The service completely overturned my imagination of “hotel service.” A shuttle bus was always available right outside, arriving within three minutes of a call. We ordered takeout five or six times a day, including small items like oxygen tanks, and they were delivered to our room within five or six minutes. Efficient, thoughtful, and unobtrusive – this kind of subtle care was incredibly reassuring. Honestly, I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews; at least during our stay, everything exceeded our expectations. For our last meal, we had yak hotpot at Xi Restaurant. The portions were generous, and the tableware was exquisite and elegant. Enjoying the steaming hotpot, with the hotel's signature woody sandalwood scent in the air, and even bamboo still visible in the bathroom – it was refined to the very end. From the first glance to the last bite, Banyan Tree Lijiang perfectly captured all my imaginings of a “Chinese resort experience.” It wasn't superficial luxury, but a profound and sophisticated sense of elegance that lingers.

This guesthouse in Dali is absolutely fantastic! The room was spotless, clean, and tidy with no overlooked corners. The bedding was incredibly soft, skin-friendly, and fresh, making for a super comfortable stay. The whole house is equipped with smart home features, which are simple and convenient to use – a real blessing for anyone who loves ease. The owner was warm and thoughtful, patiently answering all our questions and even recommending some local, lesser-known activities, which was incredibly heartwarming. The location is also convenient for getting around. The overall experience was top-notch. If you're coming to Dali, choosing this place is a no-brainer. I genuinely recommend it to all my friends!

Honestly, I rarely post reviews—but this time I really felt like I had to, because this hotel was the highlight of my family trip to Yunnan. From the moment we entered the hotel gate, we were already amazed. The place is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. The staff member who communicated with us via WeChat was incredibly helpful—from arranging our transfer from the station to the hotel, to accommodating my dietary restrictions as a Muslim. They kindly prepared a special breakfast for us: rice noodles with egg, along with sweet potatoes, corn, and boiled eggs. What made it even more special was that everything was cooked by a very warm grandmother. Despite the language barrier, we could truly feel the warmth and love in her cooking. The cabin we booked was absolutely perfect. It had a spacious yard, a hot tub, and a terrace with a table and chairs—great for dining or simply spending time together with family. Stepping inside the cabin was even more impressive: a large bed, lots of natural light, and equipped with smart home devices. One important detail for us was the bathroom—it had a bidet and a fully smart toilet with remote control. Since the temperature in Lijiang varies greatly between day and night, we were very grateful that the cabin had both floor heating and room heating. The bedroom also featured a large projector, and above it, a sunroof that can be opened—perfect for stargazing at night. It truly exceeded all our expectations. The hotel area is also next to a very aesthetic café with a stunning view called Yuntian Cafe. For those traveling with family, this place is perfect—the area is spacious and great for kids to explore nature. If you want to go out for meals, Baisha Ancient Town is just a few kilometers away. What I will remember the most is the kindness of the staff. Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly, always doing their best to accommodate every request. Please never change—your hospitality feels just like being with family. Next time we visit Lijiang, we will definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Choosing Baizhuo Xiang Guesthouse for our Lijiang trip was an absolute delight! Its location in Xingwen Alley, near the South Gate of the Old Town, is perfect. It's just a few minutes' walk into the ancient city, saving us from dragging heavy luggage along endless stone paths – a huge plus for families with kids. The guesthouse courtyard is lush with greenery, and the alley is quiet and serene, away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets of the Old Town. The rooftop terrace offers breathtaking views; on a clear day, you can see the rooftops of the Old Town and the distant mountains. The on-site cafe is incredibly stylish, and the drinks are delicious – perfect for photos. Breakfast was a heartwarming set meal of rice noodles with a variety of sides, which our child thoroughly enjoyed. The room facilities are comprehensive, and the private hot spring bath was a fantastic addition. The overall vintage design creates a wonderful atmosphere. There's also a kids' play area, which made entertaining our little one much easier, and the staff's service was attentive and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place for family trips to Lijiang. It's a peaceful oasis amidst the lively town, and the comfort level is top-notch! If the weather is clear, you can even see the snow-capped mountains from its superb location within the Old Town.

Excellent! The sunshine was just right today, the coffee was just right, and even the breeze passing by was just right. Sometimes life is “just right” in a way that makes you laugh out loud — it turns out, happiness is hidden in those “just right” moments. ✨ How about you? Did you encounter any “just right” little things today?

This was a spontaneous trip, and the results were incredibly satisfying. The hotel service was fantastic; anything I needed was delivered promptly. What truly stood out was that even before check-in, the butler called to ask if we were traveling with children and arranged for kid's amenities to be prepared in the room in advance. That was incredibly thoughtful ❤️ The Dongfengyun Meijingge (Hotel Indigo) has stunning design. The hotel itself is a destination, even better to explore and photograph than the actual tourist spots. The architectural aesthetics create an amazing atmosphere, and the infinity pool is perfect for photos. Every building makes for a great photo opportunity; I even hired a photographer from the hotel, and the pictures turned out amazing. I loved it. The hotel butler upgraded our room. The kids love swimming, and besides the infinity pool, our room even had a hot tub, which made them very happy. The room was spacious and comfortable, offering an excellent experience. The buffet breakfast had a decent variety, with both Chinese and Western options, and plenty of delicious food. The only minor drawback was the occasional rainy weather.
