Dali Ancient City. Shanyuyishe Boutique B&B
"The staff was so nice and helpful. She also suggested that we take a look at the local and vegetable markets at North Gate, which was the most impressive part for me. I also have to mention that her rice noodles were the most delicious noodles I had during my trip. There was also a hidden staff member too— a curious orange cat that would show you how to catch fish. The amenities were great, with high-quality products such as a Dyson hair dryer and Bioderma cleanser. There was one laundromat, but it was enough."

Coming for Dali · Shantran Luxury Retreat in the Wilderness

Reflection Seaview Designer Hotel in Dali
"The room was well-equipped and in perfect condition, spotlessly clean. The shopping area downstairs was very close, making it convenient to get around. It was quiet, not noisy, and the price was good. My stay was very comfortable."
Le Mansen · Meraki Prism Mu Jing Chen Lan Private Residence (South Gate of Dali Ancient City)
"For so many years, Sichuan-Tibet, Xinjiang, Gannan Qinghai Ring Road have all run, and there are countless homestays in the world and the north. I have never written a good review for anyone. It is not a trust at all. I purely want to exaggerate this homestay from the heart. The homestay is very close to the south gate of the ancient city. It is especially convenient to go out and go shopping. The boss treats people meticulously and makes people moving. Every day, I made breakfast by myself. I heard that we wanted to eat fried dough sticks and went out to buy them. In the afternoon, we prepared exquisite afternoon tea on time, not perfunctory or fooled. The room hardware is also in place, and all drinks in the sterilization humidifier and refrigerator are free to drink. This time I took my elders out to play and lived here comfortably. Before leaving, the boss also took the initiative to send flower cakes and tea, and also drank coffee on the road. I walked so many places all the way. I rarely met such a sincere and honest store and would recommend it to friends!"
Santorini Cloud National Tide Sea View Resort Dali
"The room was quite spacious and clean. The hotel was also located near some great photo spots. There were many beautiful cafes nearby. I thought the hotel had a swimming pool, but it turns out the pool is only available for certain room types.However, it's too cold for swimming 😄. A shuttle car was available to pick you to and from the hotel and the gate . Breakfast at the hotel had two options: Chinese rice noodles and Western Spaghetti & Omelette, and they were tasty. The housekeeper Xiao Luo and Fei Fei are very helpful Xixi in explaining via WeChat as we don't understand Chinese."

Inner House
"The hotel's location is superb, right by Erhai Lake. You can truly enjoy the beautiful sunrise from your room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"The room was upgraded for free. The receptionist at the front desk was very good. The room was large, clean and tidy. It was a pleasant living experience. If there is a chance, I will stay in his hotel again. Five-star praise."
Yating Aegean Seaview Homestay (s Bay Ecological Corridor)
"Nest in a village along the west ecological corridor of her high Lake are a few charming homestays and minsu properties. Next to Dali Yating Aegean Seascape is the sand beach, boardwalk, bike rental and path, as well as a few coffee cafes with amazing views. Staff is helpful and can add your WeChat. Foreign translation is easy such as Baidu or Mr. Translator. They take consideration for Muslim diets, and delivery service is easy on Meituen. Open early is SALUT Cafe for coffee, and open late is YanYangJia Barbecue for snacks. This is a really comfortable open-air stay, with seating on the balcony, in the courtyard, and next to the lobby tea table and bar. Breakfast was a blessing. Facilities best."
Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel
"Seriously good, I stayed for several days. The hotel is excellent, and the facilities are brand new. It's so convenient for getting around; there are very few hotels this convenient along Erhai Lake. Eating is easy, sightseeing is easy, and it's close to the city center. Riding a bike along the Erhai Corridor was so enjoyable, I really didn't want to leave! 😃"
ARANYA Resort Hotel
"We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Our concierge by the name of Luke was one of the most thoughtful hosts I have ever met - always attentive and responsive. Brought us warm milk at night, helped us with complimentary laundry, referred us and arranged for a driver for us to our next city. The view is breathtaking. The only possible downside for guests wanting to spend time in Dali ancient city is that one would need to commute for approximately 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. I would recommend this hotel and would go back again."
Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel
"Dali is amazing, I recommend the hotel as it’s location is outstanding yet the area is extremely quiet."

The heated pool had children's floats available, and the service was thoughtful, even providing kids' toiletries. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options.

Chenxi | Mountain View · Sky Garden View Homestay (Dali Ancient City Branch)
"Staying in a guesthouse is mainly about experiencing personalized service and unique experiences. We drove to Dali late at night with our daughter and found the guesthouse quite difficult to find. We had to call the front desk to get picked up. At first, we thought we hadn't booked the right place. The guesthouse was a two-story building with a small courtyard. The next morning, we met the owner, mentioned in the reviews, who gave us helpful advice: we could rent electric scooters. Our two-day trip to Dali was very enjoyable. We didn't have time for breakfast when we left, and the owner thoughtfully brought us a lot. We were very grateful for the food while driving through Xishuangbanna. I'll definitely contact her again if I come to Dali again. Hope to see you again!"
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"I really loved Dali, it was the highlight of my trip. This hotel has a great atmosphere, with lots of flowers, several cats, and even a Border Collie named Peanut. The service was excellent too; they'd inform us about breakfast the night before, and the housekeeping auntie would deliver it right on time."
