GGuest UserThe B&B is located in a villa complex. The main gate is a five-minute walk from the South Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, and the location is accurate. You can park your car right in front of the B&B. There's also a back gate in the complex, and once you exit, the East Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town is just across the road. Service: The owner was incredibly warm and friendly, offering tips and advice for sightseeing, just like family. The auntie's mixed sauce rice noodles were delicious and everything was clean and hygienic. Highly recommend!

GGuest UserThe host is a middle-aged lady who speaks softly and is very considerate. She will contact you in advance to let you know the check-in time to avoid being away from the hotel. She will also give you some general tips on how to avoid pitfalls in Lugu Lake. She is a bit of a clean freak, so both the public area and the room are kept very clean.

GGuest UserThis place is very good to stay. Convenient to reach to the ancient city in walking distance to the bus stops to travel Baisha ancient town or snow mountain or #105 to railway it is an ultimate place overall. Clean environment and very friendly and helpful staff members. Older building, but it is run well. In case you can't find the place through the address, I uploaded pictures of the entry to the hostel, both road and the gate. Enjoy your stay. I couldn't find the place when I stayed so the staff member met me on the way. It was so kind of them. Unfortunately, the address is not absolute when you follow the navigation, and trip.com doesn't have the clarity. Such nice place and people. I can recommend it. Enjoy your stay! Good people, good hostel.

GGuest UserChepaest hostel but it did not disappoint. Bed and everything was clean. Pillow and comforter was provided as well. You can wash your clothes yourself with minimal charge and hang it there to dry. Around 10mins away to the old town (I0mins walk). They can arrange tour for your as well. Recommend!

JJotangIt's a short walk to a small beautiful authentic old town. We reached early but the reception will only be open from 1pm as she's sleeping so we went out for a walk until check in time. When we needed something n went to reception in later afternoon, we're told she's napping again. Seems like she sleeps alot. But our room has beautiful view of yulong snow Mountain ❤️🤩

GGuest UserI went for it for the price, but still some lacking things surprised me. The bed was hard, the walls in the room were mostly dirty and stained from both human use and mosquito splatters. There was rarely someone available for inquiries and the outside toilet was a big downside, since it was quite cold, especially at night. Having a kitchen to use was definitely a plus and the rooftop areas were pretty nice, although messy. I was sad to see all the animal they have spend the whole day caged or chained 😔

CChilldianmeiwentiThe room is very spacious as a whole, and each passenger has his or her own electronic cabinet. You can also play with young people from different places here. The food in the store is also very amazing. There are sweet and savory, and you can see different dishes on the same table. In the evening, they all get together to play board games, and the whole hall is filled with laughter, hahaha. I will come with my friends next time if I have a chance!

GGuest UserThe door of the female four-person room could not be closed and opened as soon as the wind blew. I wanted to give a bad review directly, but I thought I should communicate first. So after the communication, the boss changed the room. The door could be closed, but it could not be locked. I just pressed the handle from the outside and the door opened. There was no room card or key, and the door could not be locked. I asked the boss if all the rooms here were like this? The boss said yes, and said that there was surveillance. I was convinced and had nothing to say. He also changed me to another four-person room. I was the only one living there, and it was indeed a single room for one person. Although the price was cheap and it was in the scenic area, I just asked that the door could be locked, not that anyone could open it from the outside. Am I asking too much? I hope the store can repair the door lock in the future, install a lock and match it with a key or room card. It doesn't cost that much, right? The bathroom is relatively old, the walls are moldy, and the facilities are old, but I can accept it. It's okay to take a shower and wash, but it doesn't look comfortable. After all, it's in the scenic area, and it costs a lot to redecorate. But the door lock can't cost that much, right? I feel unsafe. I am afraid of being hit on the waist while sleeping. If you don't believe me, you can go to the store to see if what I said is true or not before booking. But the price is indeed cheap, but I don't think it is necessary to live in Shuhe Ancient Town. There is nothing to visit in this scenic spot. There is no need to come here from a long distance. Lijiang Ancient Town and Shahe Ancient Town are better than this. I don't know if other standard rooms and double bed rooms also have door cards and keys. Anyone can open the door from the outside. But to be honest, the courtyard environment of the hotel is really good. Anyone who sees the courtyard should like it. There are many trees and many tables and chairs to sit in the small courtyard. It is very comfortable and very comfortable. There are two large beds in the public space of the courtyard. It is really comfortable to lie down. That courtyard is really good, and there are cute cats, especially cute and soft fur. There is also a washing machine that seems to be 10 yuan per bucket, which is too expensive, but I didn't scan the code. Maybe no one saw it in the middle of the night and didn't ask me to charge. I still thank the store for letting me wash my clothes for free.

GGuest UserThe transportation is very convenient. The aunt is a know-it-all and very helpful! You can ask her about food and entertainment (avoid many pitfalls). Bokebi is also cute. When you have nothing to do, you can play with the dog in the youth hostel and exercise. It's great!

GGuest UserUncles and aunts are very good, the room is clean and tidy, it is OK from the ancient city, it can be reached on foot, but the toiletries are a bit scrawled, the paper cup is broken once the water is received, there is nothing wrong with other places, and it is recommended
