The view was truly amazing and the room was clean. Staff was really attentive as well and breakfast spread provided was good.
One downside is the soundproofing wasnt that great and you can hear the water pipes/people climbing the stairs. So if you’re a light sleeper, you may wanna wear some ear plugs.
They also collaborate with drivers for you to engage and tour around Dali, I think you can skip it as I feel the service provided by the driver wasnt that great.
Overall I will still recommend this hotel for the view and the convenience of the location (just less than 10min drive away from the railway station and around 30min to oldtown).

The hotel location is excellent and very convenient. We initially thought we’d have to pull our luggage a long way, but we were pleasantly surprised that didi (China’s taxi service) could stop right in front of the hotel! There are plenty of food options nearby, all within walking distance. I like the most is nearby north gate there got alot hotpot choice if u lazy to walk didi also within 2dollar
One of the hotel’s friendly (and handsome!) staff even helped us with our luggage, and the check-in process was super quick — we were able to check in immediately. The room was just right and even had a heater, which made our stay very comfortable.
For this price, getting such a cozy hotel room is definitely a great choice, especially for foreigners looking to stay near Dali Ancient Town.

WOW The room is beautiful and clean. Self-check-in is easy. The room is big and suitable for family or friends. In front of the accommodation, there is a restaurant with complete facilities.

Services:
We were very impressed by the services rendered by the 管家 by the name of 小杜, and his team of colleagues!
He ensured that our every need was met and exceeded!
During our check-in day, there was a power outage for some parts of the Shuanglang old town, including this property. He kept apologizing sincerely even though it was no fault of his and he did everything within his abilities to ensure we are comfortable. Thank you, 小杜 and your team!
Location:
A short 2 minutes walk through the old town from the vehicle drop off point, do a right turn into an alley and you will find the amazing property sitting just on the bank of ErHai lake, with a superb view of the sunset, be it from the garden, lobby, breakfast area or the roof top.
Just before the entrance to the alley, at the main street of the old town, you could get food even at 1030pm! Certainly a 5 stars for the location!
Rooms:
Quality bath robes and slippers to keep you warm, comfortable bed to snuggle in, free minibar and snacks replaced daily, what more could we ask for?
Breakfast & Night snacks:
Breakfast was delightful and also a tasty night snack to warm your tummy before sleep! All were great!
Overall:
For the two nights of stay, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves!
Not just for the services and the clean rooms, also for the picturesque location where the architect has put in much effort to maximize the visual impact of the scenic Erhai view for all visitors! We had sooooooooo many nice photos taken at the amazing property!
Strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants to stay in Erhai!

This was incredibly beautiful that we did not want to leave. This is a place we will recommend to everyone coming to Dali to stay at!!
Immaculate service, terrific views, beautifully furnished rooms, the warm milk at night, the brand name devices in the rooms, the delicious breakfast, enthusiastic service from staff (special shoutout to 小星!), the photography session - we loved it so much we will definitely come back and stay here again! The attention to detail - eg. providing warm bottled water and warm dessert at night - was much appreciated!
We did basically nothing on our second day except lounge around our room and stroll along Shuanglang ancient village. We stayed in 7 hotels / guesthouses on our Yunnan trip this time and this was by far our favourite.
Sunlight is nature's most beautiful gift to human beings
When we bask in the sun, we can make all the "evil" in the world nowhere to hide. Let all the beauty and simplicity ripple on people's faces again, and goodness can flow outward like a clear spring in the heart. Therefore, space designers with "light" in their hearts have an almost paranoid "demon" for sunlight, allowing them to design design works with different "understandings" and "human worthiness" of light. In my opinion, Dali's "Wuji Yinshe Mid-Mountain B&B" is such a "clean" and "innocent" space design work with "light" from the bottom of the heart!
The beginning
"Wuer Yinshe Mid-Mountain B&B" is located in Wenbi Village, Haidong Town, Dali, close to Erhai Lake, overlooking Cangshan Mountain, and the unique geographical environment makes people who have lived here for generations have no worries about food and clothing, but it is gradually distancing itself from the huge background of the changes of the times. A leisurely and soothing pace of life is ideal, but it is undeniable that it still belongs to the context of "agrarian civilization", and today, it has been abandoned by the younger generation who pursue the "fast-paced" and "Gatsby-style" psychology of modern life and the "Gatsby-style" psychology of getting rich overnight, and the "writing village" has become a "hollowed-out" settlement, which cannot escape the doom of "forgotten".
The designer has been to Dali many years ago and also visited Wenbi Village, full of longing and love for Cangshan Erhai Lake, not forgetting the sunshine here, the depth of Erhai Lake and the quiet way of life, in a chance to save down, the owner and designer found here, rent the villagers' houses, and incorporate the local villagers into the logistics service system of the B&B hotel! The logic of the underlying life of "Wenbi Village" has been changed!
When the designer was commissioned by the design of "Wuji Hermitage Mid-Mountain B&B", the attachment to Cangshan Erhai Lake and sunshine buried in his heart many years ago was awakened, and he created a B&B space architecture integrating time, memory and sunshine---- Wuji Hermitage Mid-Mountain Seaview B&B.
01 Survey and combing
This is a space that gathers oriental vacation homestays and has the characteristics of a Bai fishing village, which is very experiential!
After carefully surveying the topography and landform where the B&B is located, the designer found that this is a typical sloping house in the middle of the mountainside, with a bird's-eye view of Erhai Lake from the lower terrain and a deep halfway up the mountain. As a result, the designer came up with an ambitious idea: to build a new building with the characteristics of local Bai architecture in the open space near Erhai Lake, which will be integrated with the old buildings on the high ground to form an architectural settlement, with a height difference of nearly 10 meters, connected by a pedestrian staircase, forming an interesting building with sloping steps.
02 How to stay
In the design process of "Wuji Retreat Mid-Levels Homestay", the designer thought most about why and how people "lived" during the vacation.
...
03 Minutes of light and shadow
Here, the designer grasps the sense of proportion of "defamiliarization". This "strangeness" is epitomized in the treatment of sunlight.
...
This is the charm of "Wuji Hermitage Mid-Levels"!
GGuest User2025.03.18
Environment: This homestay is located in Wenbi Village, which is close to Erhai Lake. It is located halfway up the mountain and has a nice sea view. There are many great check-in spots. You can use the included travel photography service, which is very photogenic.
Facilities: I heard that this homestay is very hygienic before coming here. The towels are wrapped separately in plastic bags, which feels more hygienic. There are no stains on the white furniture. It is equipped with a washing machine, humidifier, ironing machine, refrigerator, and projector, which is very convenient. Considering the convenience of use, it is also equipped with a separate plug strip. It is very lady-friendly and equipped with a disposable bathtub set, milk bath, makeup remover wipes, and steam eye mask. The projector is equipped with a screen. We watch variety shows every night and have a very pleasant leisure time.
Service: The breakfast included in the homestay is in the form of a set meal. Basically, one Chinese nine-square grid and one Western set meal. The variety is rich and the taste is good. The coffee latte art also shows the service staff's attentiveness. This homestay provides coffee 24 hours a day, and coffee fans can enjoy it. This reservation included a pick-up or drop-off service. Since we arrived late in the afternoon on the first day, we ordered the afternoon tea included in the room to enjoy. Muffins, fruit plates and coffee, the presentation also showed their care. Warm Tremella soup was delivered to the room every night. We drank it every night without wasting it. Friends said that their coffee and Tremella soup were also moderately sweet, and there would be no concerns about gaining weight due to being too sweet.
Finally, we would like to especially praise the housekeepers who connected with us, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Da and other 3-4 colleagues (forgot to ask their names). They added WeChat before checking in, communicated attentively, responded to our questions or needs in a timely manner, were very efficient, and had a very good attitude. Other locations in Wenbi Village, the homestay has cars for pick-up and drop-off, which is very convenient. The car is also driven by them. When we checked out, they also gave us a farewell gift-a local specialty flower cake and a canvas bag of their homestay. They are also very discerning. In the morning, when I sat in the restaurant waiting for my friend, a cup of hot tea was delivered to my hand before I opened my mouth. It felt like a very comfortable way of getting along. I hope you are getting better and better. I always believe that good B&Bs or hotels, warm service is still their most outstanding experience and advantage. I look forward to staying here again next time, and I have recommended it to other friends.

Exactly as pictured. (I have a Samsung so it will make colors pop a bit more, but the mountain views on a nice day are exactly as pictured! In fact, it looks better irl)
Was greeted upon arriving by the homestay dog (his name is Huanxi). His son (the one in the cage) was there as well. Huanxi is a very calm dog but if you go up to pet him, he will accept pats.
LOCATION: Other than a brutal 10 minute walk up a little hill, it's quite close to the West Gate side of Dali Ancient Town.
ROOM: Very clean and everything looked brand new. My room was on the 2nd floor so the balcony is right outside my window. You can see mountains from the room (the view might not be the clearest from the room so I recommend going on the 2nd floor balcony or the 4th floor where the washing machine is). The 4th floor provides a 360 view of Dali's mountains and you can see Erhai from afar.
FOOD: They provided a welcoming bowl of fresh watermelons (very sweet!) And Yunnan's specialty rose pastries. They also have Pu'er tea (Yunnan's specialty) in the room or you can request an afternoon tea. I only had breakfast once, but they provide either rice with side dishes or noodles every morning from 8 AM to 10 AM. You can message them on wechat in advance and they can even send the breakfast up to your room.
The homestay employees were all super friendly and there is a painted map on the first floor of main tourist locations. If you speak Chinese, they will give you a thorough introduction of these tourist locations and how to get there. (If you speak English, they'll try their best with a translator app.)

The place is absolutely nice and all of us travelled as friends love this place so much. We went up to rooftop and watched the sunrise as early as 6.30am. The air is fresh and I can even heard the birds singing which is very rare in the city.
The rooms are clean and spacious. We booked two single beds in the room but we feel the beds are like queen size bed. (Forget to take room photos). The hotel provide laundry self service as well.
The walking distance to Dali Ancient town took only less than 5 mins is another plus point for this hotel.
Overall, I would like 9/10 for this hotel and highly recommend for those who are still hesitating about this property.

LLendanear2024.11.08
What can I say. Stunning!!! Amazing hotel in a beautiful location. The staff were incredible. The only downside was thee lack of a Western style breakfast which, sadly, seems to be the norm in China, and where it is offered, it’s usually half hearted, with the Chinese idea of what a western breakfast is. Apart from that, I highly recommend this place. It’s beautiful. PS. It’s a Chinese photo spot for wedding photographers so be aware that all the beautiful tourists spots are inundated with pretty girls taking photos or having photos taken.

FfoodietravelThe apartment is very clean and big. Very spacious and suitable for family. There's a full kitchen for if you want to cook or have a meal in the apartment. Washing machine is also available, which makes it
super convenient. The service was great from the staff. Although location was a bit confusing to find, the staff came out and led our driver to the right place for check in. You can see Cangshan and erhai from the apartment. There's not a lot of food places around as the apartment is on a small mountain apartment complex. However ordering take out is very convenient from your room. Overall a great stay.
JJane.TI recently stayed at a hotel in Dali, Yunnan, and had an overall pleasant experience. The cleanliness of the room and common areas was impressive — everything was well-maintained and tidy, which made the stay comfortable and relaxing.
The service stood out as one of the highlights. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with directions or local recommendations. They made check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free.
But would like to comment on the photoshooting service that this hotel provided, although they stated it’s free, but each room ONLY FREE 5 PIECES NON EDIT photos no matter how many days you stay. So please don’t ask for this service if you don’t want your pocket to have a hole 🤣, would recommend you to have the traditional costume shoot in Lijiang or Shangrila which will cost in cheaper price where they can provide costume rental and full make up. This hotel they charge a very high price for the photoshooting if you want to buy the photos from them.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lijiang, if they like photoshooting. Or else you can stay in other better choices hotels.
GGuest UserI stayed in a very cost-effective homestay in Dali. The environment is very beautiful. There is a hydrangea garden that is very suitable for taking pictures. There is also a tea room. You can drink tea in the afternoon and look at the bottomless sea on the terrace. The room facilities are very good, equipped with a Dyson hair dryer. The toiletries should also be branded and easy to use. There are also electric cars available to go around the sea nearby, recommended!

RR.T.xDuring my recent stay at this hotel I had an excellent experience. The hotel itself was modern and spacious, offering all the comfort I needed. It was also located just outside the ancient town, which was only a short five-minute walk away, making it very convenient. There were also plenty of food options nearby, so I never had to worry about where to eat (thought honestly even if the restaurants nearby are not your liking it’s quite easy to get food delivered using one of the food delivery apps).
What truly set this place apart was the exceptional service from the manager. She was genuinely friendly and incredibly helpful, going out of her way to ensure I had a great stay. Since I arrived two days before the May Day holiday, she advised me to plan my trip around Er Hai Lake a day early to avoid the holiday crowds. I’m so grateful for this advice because my trip around the lake was smooth and enjoyable, with minimal crowds. By the time I was heading back to the hotel, I could already see the traffic building up with the incoming holiday tourists and I can only imagine how bad the traffic was around the lake the next day. According to the driver it is not uncommon to encounter standstill traffic at around parts of the lake requiring around 2-3 hours to clear during the peak periods.
Not only did she provide valuable advice, but she also arranged a driver for my lake trip on very short notice, and at a price much better than what I could find elsewhere. Her local knowledge didn’t end there—she recommended great places to eat and gave me tips on where to buy local specialties and what to avoid, which really helped me make the most of my time in Dali. One general tip would be to be selective of the stores in the ancient town as they might not offer the best value.
I would however recommend adding the hotel on WeChat prior to arriving just in the event that you encounter some difficulty in locating the hotel since it is not located along the main road, there is however direct road access to the main door of the hotel.
Overall, the hospitality here was outstanding, and I genuinely felt well taken care of. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dali.

The view is perfect, we could clearly see the mountains and ancient buildings. At night, the place is very quiet even though there is a market outside, super nice place. I really love this hotel and would love to come back

GGuest UserThe best hotel experience of this trip is mainly due to the hotel's service. The butler, Liu, is very attentive and meticulous, which is the best service I've ever experienced. Super awesome!!! The hotel scenery is beautiful, located on the edge of Shuanglang Scenic Area, and every angle is very photogenic. The room facilities are complete and considerate, and there are very complete supplies for children, clean and tidy. There is a fruit plate when we arrive. In the evening, they also send good night milk, and the children really like the kittens in the shop. Butler Liu introduced the surrounding attractions, delicious food, and matters needing attention in detail, really considering for customers, and the experience is super good. Next time I come to Dali, I will stay here again👍

GGuest UserOne of the most pleasant homestays I have ever stayed in Dali! It is the ultimate in ”sea view” and ”relaxation”. Open the door and you can see the same frame of Cangshan and Bohai Sea. Sitting in the yard and drinking tea to see the clouds and clouds. In the evening, you can go to the ecological corridor to ride a bicycle and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bohai Sea along the way. The design of the room is simple, the bedding is soft like a cloud, and even the shower gel is a faint tea fragrance. The boss is super enthusiastic and will recommend the niche cycling route. The freshly roasted milk fan and thin bean powder around the hotel are absolutely amazing! I stayed here for three days and was completely cured by a slow pace.

That said, the 古城 property feels a bit like the forgotten child of the brand. The fixtures are showing their age and could really use a refresh to match the charm and quality of the experience elsewhere.

GGuest UserFirst, the correct name of the hotel is Xiting not Yuting. There was a bit of misunderstanding over which room we booked, which I take to be the result of language communication between Trip.com and the hotel. But the manager was very sweet and Accommodating. The rooms are lovely and it’s in a good location in the old city but relatively quiet.

SSiu QuanWe 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!
