Deqin rain fall walker mountain shelter

This is, by far, one of the cleanest, well kept places in Upper Yubeng village. The room I stayed in was very spacious, immaculately clean, and had a lovely view of the mountains to the side picture window. At night I slept with the window open to feel the cool mountain breeze, and it was lovely to be awakened by the sound of mules baying rather than the honking of cars in the big city! It is clear that the owners of this inn, two young brothers, have a vision for this place that is quite different than the other inns around. From the quality of the towels and the bedding, to the Zen open concept communal area downstairs, there is more of a Western feel to this hotel than others I have stayed in in the area. While the upper floors contain the private rooms, the bottom floor is more like a hostel with rooms that contain 4 to 5 beds. There is a pool table right outside those rooms so you can entertain yourselves in the evening after hiking. Another great thing about the end is the two brand new big load washing machines where, for only 10 RMB, they provide soap and you can wash and hang your sweaty clothes after a day on the mountain. The shared sinks, toilets, and showers, for the hostelers are equally as immaculate as the private rooms upstairs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hostel as clean as this one! The kitchen also serves up good food and there’s plenty of cold beer and other drinks in the fridge in the reception. One thing I forgot to mention, is that on the upper floors there are small areas where you can sit in a swing chair or at a table and read a book or drink tea. Also, though I didn’t ask for it myself, I saw other guests at the end of the day soaking their feet in traditional wooden barrels provided by the hotel. Both of the brothers were lovely and highly accommodating. I would return to this hotel in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to others traveling in the Yubeng area!

An amazing guesthouse with wonderful hosts. It has a relaxing environment in shared spaces with opportunities to lounge while enjoying the view from upstairs or in the large Cafe on the first floor. You can also play a game of pool on a rainy afternoon or entertain the friendly dog. Rooms are cozy with comfortable beds, hot showers and excellent high end amenities such as the shampoo and shower gel. There was a lot of detail put into the design of the guesthouse with high end fixtures in the bathrooms as well as the comfort in common areas. There is a small snack shop on site, stock up before heading to the Glacier lake, sacred Waterfall, or Ninong Canyon. The guesthouse is on the far end of town near the trailhead to Glacier Lake and a handful of restaurants and guesthouses. If needing a hearty, delicious meal you can't beat the food prepared by the host. Anything on the menu will satisfy your craving.

Clean and basic room in Upper Yubeng. A but loud because the interior window looked out on an inner courtyard. Service is warm and helpful, enthusiastic in helping you enjoy hour stay. They even have nice footbaths in the lobby, super comfortable after a hike. Great place to stay during time in Yubeng. Appreciated that it had nice toiletries.

In Upper Yubeng Village, this hostel offers clean rooms, a friendly and social a**osphere, and helpful advice from the staff! The room itself is simple but quite comfortable. The public areas can be noisy during business hours, but they’re usually quiet after 11pm. There were loud children staying while I was there, but I assume it’s not always that way. The small kitchen has a decent Chinese menu. Not great for solo travelers as the menu is more so for sharing with a group. Regardless, you can order a dish with rice. Prices are reasonable considering how isolated you are from the supply. I’d definitely stay here again.
