AAnonymous UserThis is hands down the most comfortable guesthouse I've ever stayed at in Yunnan. The sea-view room was also very reasonably priced, even in the off-season. Great location, wonderful environment, and excellent service. The butler was incredibly thoughtful, even insisting on helping with my luggage. The buffet breakfast, even during the low season, was very generous, and the room itself was super comfortable. The disposable toiletries provided were also of fantastic quality. Everywhere you look in this place is picture-perfect, just begging to be photographed. It's the kind of guesthouse you won't want to leave once you're here. Seriously, come give it a try!

GGongbinietutuhaIt's been over half a month since my trip to Yunnan, and I still find myself looking back, especially at this B&B~~
**Environment:** I truly loved it. The courtyard on the first floor has a beautiful landscape, and through a door, there's a secret garden. On the third floor, there's a terrace where I enjoyed watching the sunrise in the morning (though it wasn't perfectly aligned), which was very satisfying. The room interior was also lovely; I can't quite find the words to describe it, haha~
**Service:** The front desk lady and the auntie were incredibly warm and welcoming. They helped me with my luggage, and answered all my travel questions. They even added me on WeChat a few days in advance to create a service group. Afternoon tea and breakfast could be arranged to be delivered to the room. The best part was when I came back late after going out at night, they would have already turned on the electric blanket and lights. It was incredibly thoughtful~
This was the first B&B I stayed at in Dali, and it truly set a great tone for my Dali trip. The only downside might be that the surroundings are a bit less bustling, and there's a house under renovation nearby. Other than that, everything else was absolutely fantastic~

EEnnaService was fantastic, the host was superb! Place was clean, convenient, and included all that one could need on a vacation. In the heart of Ancient Dali, this was perfect for food, entertainment, and shopping. It is also minutes away from the famous Cangshan mountain, and the host is very considerate in assisting you with any arrangement you'd like, including cabs for railway and airport transportation.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the room matched exactly the photos that are on the site. Very often this is not the case. So, all in all it was a very pleasant experience at this location.
Would definitely stay again and certainly would recommend this to anyone travelling to Dali. As a single female, I found this place to be very safe...especially with a considerate host, who looks out for you!

MMichelle 琪惠The service is great. There’s no need to carry your luggage or walk for pick-up or drop-off at 双廊半岛超市—someone will handle your bags and bring you over on a buggy. I was even upgraded to a room with a view.
Each time you enter or leave, you’ll be warmly greeted by the same individual, likely the manager, who also reminds guests to dress warmer if the temperature dips. Breakfast (8:30-10:30) changes daily, and they warm up milk (21:00-22:00) if you’d like some. There’s also a bar on site, though I didn’t try it this time. The room is thoughtfully furnished with a Marshall speaker (Bluetooth) and diffuser, and you can even choose the scent you prefer.
The location is ideal for anyone seeking both convenience and tranquillity.
It’s close to many attractions: right next to the pier and 双廊古镇, and about a 15-minute walk to the gallery and exhibition at Yang Liping’s former residence (杨丽萍太阳宫). It’s walking distance to a few popular eateries as well. You may need to walk abit if you’re going to the viral cafes further out near Muxi Dali (alternatively, you can get those buggy to transport you at a fee).
It becomes peaceful in the evenings once the day-trippers leave, so you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset in calm surroundings—perfect for sipping a cup of Yunnan tea while taking in the view (see photos).

KKeaidezhizhimaThe rooms are a bit on the older side. There's a newer building next door, which is pricier, so it really depends on individual needs and budget. The front desk staff were excellent, and the hotel's overall service philosophy is commendable. We originally booked a 'Quiet King Room,' but my husband really wanted a balcony, and they kindly upgraded us for free! The location is fantastic – very quiet with beautiful scenery, definitely worth recommending. I went cycling with my child, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning. The breakfast spread was generous and delicious, featuring Cantonese dim sum available until 10:30 AM. In the hot afternoon, enjoying afternoon tea at the hotel while gazing at the sea view was incredibly relaxing and pleasant. We cycled for two hours, and the surrounding landscapes were simply breathtaking. Xizhou Ancient Town, the Rice Paddies Mini Train, and Haishi Park are all just a few kilometers away by bike.

MM254360****The room was fantastic! It didn't have that typical musty smell you often find in B&Bs, and it was incredibly clean. All the toiletries provided, including the bath towels, were disposable, which was a nice touch. The service was excellent. Since cars aren't allowed directly by Erhai Lake, one of the staff members came to pick us up on an electric scooter, and even carried our luggage upstairs for us. When we checked out early to catch our transport, we bothered him again around 7 AM for a ride, which he gladly provided. The location is absolutely superb – we got to see the moon over Erhai Lake and the sunrise!

MML SiauA Serene Stay with Exceptional Hospitality
We had a truly memorable stay at this charming inn. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was outstanding—starting with a complimentary one-way airport pickup that made our arrival smooth and stress-free.
Upon check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a spacious suite, where a welcome platter of fresh fruits awaited us. The room was immaculate, comfortable, and well-appointed, with plenty of space to relax.
The staff and owner, were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Mr. Li who picked us from airport offered to drive us around (with a fee) to several local attractions and introduced us to some delicious local food, which added a unique and personal touch to our experience.
The inn is tucked away beside a dry creek, creating a peaceful and quiet setting. The landscaping is beautiful and well-maintained, enhancing the overall sense of tranquility. We especially enjoyed the rooftop lounging area, which offers stunning views of Erhai Lake—a perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day.
Breakfast was included and thoughtfully prepared, adding to the overall value and comfort of our stay.
We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene getaway with warm, attentive service and a touch of local charm.

11351095****Facing Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain, the hotel offers expansive views of the city. Every day, from 7:40 AM to 8:20 AM, you can enjoy the stunning 'Golden Summit' sunrise over Cangshan from the large balcony in your room. All guest rooms are spacious 224-square-meter suites, ensuring an exceptionally comfortable stay. The complimentary Bentley pick-up and drop-off service to and from Dali Station was a pleasant surprise. Although it's a guesthouse, the service quality is top-notch, with all staff members providing warm and attentive service. The butler checked in with us daily, making us feel right at home. The rooms are incredibly clean and fully equipped, and the toiletries are of high quality. Dali Lish House is highly recommended for families and friends traveling together!
