Had to leave after 10 minutes, was getting nauseous due to the smell. the bosses were friendly
Response from Property: Dear, everything was fine when you entered the room. The issue arose because you used the toilet in the bathroom (since the room has an en-suite bathroom). After using it, you need to flush properly; otherwise, there will definitely be an unpleasant smell.

Worst Hotel I have ever stayed in. The bed was hard as stone and dirty. There were multiple mosquitos already in the room when I got there, which is very dangerous in a dengue risk country. The bathroom was moldy and full of hair from the previous person and also very wet. It was hard to even find the hotel. Its also very bad customer service to be non refundable when you are not even a cheap hotel. The only positive point was the location. Also having to pay extra for air conditioning is a very bad joke! I wouldnt recommend anybody to stay here
Response from Property: Hi, our location is in the downtown area, and the room was cleaned before you came. A single room with an ensuite bathroom for over 50 yuan is considered cheap. Besides, there is an extra charge for using the air conditioner. Moreover, it's not hot in Banna in winter, and there is a free electric fan in the room. When you're away from home, manners come first.

I've stayed at some dumps over the years, but wow, this place is just awful. Should be renamed dystopia. While the owner of the hostel is very friendly, this place is not much better than sleeping on the street. There's no noise isolation at all, the bed is literally just a board and is just as comfortable as sleeping on the ground. There is no shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, air conditioning, wifi, or towels. Even though this place is listed as smoke free, smoking is allowed in the hallway and in the reception. The room is also filthy and doesn't look like anything in it has been replaced or renovated in the past 200 years. If you're coming to Jinghong, stay slightly outside of the city. You can get a very reasonably priced, comfortable hotel with the only con being it'll take you an extra 10 minutes to get to places. Unless you don't care at all about your environment, avoid.
Response from Property: Dear, it's Chinese New Year now, so the price is higher than usual. The environment is ordinary, but it's clean and sanitary. You said the bed is hard, but according to Chinese medicine, sleeping on a hard bed is good for the waist. It's a cultural difference. We are in the downtown area, so it's convenient to go anywhere. Please be more tolerant and follow the local customs. I hope you have a happy time in China.

Very good

The room was spacious and quiet at night, so I slept well and was quite satisfied. There were no-smoking signs in the room, and indeed, there was no smell of smoke, which was excellent. Adding a small chair and table to the room would have made it even more convenient. Dining, shopping, and transportation are all very convenient; I recommend staying here!

Response from Property: Xishuangbanna Jinghong Utopia Youth Hostel only offers single rooms, no dormitory beds. If you need anything, please ask the front desk; they will generally try their best to accommodate you. Welcome back anytime! 🥳

The room is quite spacious. It is a fan room, but the fan is not very cool. The owner is kind and can communicate in English. She is always ready to help and give advice.

It's a cold and cloudy day in Banna today. It's a bit cold. I took a hot bath in the B&B. It was comfortable. We went out to eat delicious food and take pictures. Although it was cloudy today, it didn't affect going out to play. The room was clean and hygienic

The location of the hotel is very good. It is not far from the station, the farmers' market, the Lancang River, the riverside night market, and the Xingguang Night Market. I can walk to all of them. It is perfect for a solo traveler like me. The boss is very enthusiastic and friendly. She answered my questions very carefully and gave me travel suggestions to avoid detours. It is very considerate. I plan to stay at her house again next year.

Although the decoration is average, it is clean and sanitary, and the price-performance ratio is very high. I like it
