A homestay located in a residential area. The location is convenient for visiting the eastern tourist attractions. There are some food nearby. The hot spring experience is not bad, and the pick-up is convenient. The room facilities are OK, but they are starting to age and peel, and the shower water flows all over the floor; the breakfast is simple, but filling; I came here for the bedding, which I think is OK, but I don't like the lack of soundproofing, as it's also very noisy downstairs. Overall, I feel that it is still a good deal if it is more than 100 yuan. If it is higher, it is more comfortable to live in a large square meter in the city.

Let's make a more objective evaluation. I stayed in this hotel for four days, and basically stayed in all the king-size rooms. First of all, the environment of this hotel is very good, just like in the photos, and the price-performance ratio is also quite good. I changed three room types in four days. Every time I went out to play with my wife during the day, the staff helped to move the luggage. Then I will complain about the four-day stay experience. On the first day, I stayed in a king-size room without a balcony. The room was very small, so small that the aisle in the room could not be walked side by side. It felt very uncomfortable. On the second day, I changed to a king-size room with a balcony. The room was larger than the first day. That night, I returned to the hotel and wanted to go to the balcony with my wife to drink tea and chat. As a result, there was no tea in the room and no lights on the balcony. I asked the service staff and they said that the lights on the balcony were broken. On the third and fourth days, I stayed in a suite. The suite room was very spacious. I bought some beer and barbecue that night. I was thinking about having a drink with my wife, but when I got back to the hotel at night, I found that the light in the living room was broken again. I was speechless at the time, so I asked the staff, and they said that it was broken by the previous guest. They asked someone to fix it the next day. I didn't say anything at the time, but I found out that I told the hotel staff more than twice the next day that the light in the room must be fixed. On the second night, it was still broken. When I asked the staff, they were just shirking responsibility, which was very disappointing. I basically groped in the dark in the living room at night for the past two days, and I was in no mood at all. Then I was preparing to go to Kunming. I asked the hotel staff the night before if they could take us there, and then the hotel said that I had to pay 30 yuan for the fare, but the taxi was only 20 😅. Generally speaking, the four-day stay experience was very bad. We were out for fun and would only be in the hotel at night, and the light was still broken, which was outrageous. I am just stating my own opinion, and consumers should look at it rationally.

Response from Property: Dear guest, the hotel does not provide airport drop-off service, but we will help guests who cannot get a taxi in the early morning to reserve a business car, and the price is clearly marked, so you have the right to choose. The hotel provides free Pu'er drinking experience, and the tea room on the first floor is also open to guests free of charge. As long as the guests staying in the hotel contact us for any requirements, we will do our best to meet them. Finally, regarding the suite problem you mentioned, I understand that you went to the front desk to inquire whether there is a larger room. The front desk told you that you were given a free suite upgrade, and we did our best to meet your requirements. The lighting switch in the suite's living room was damaged, and we contacted the after-sales staff in time to replace it. We are sorry for the trouble caused to you by uncontrollable reasons of the third party. We have placed two sets of table lamps in your living room for lighting. Thank you for your heartfelt evaluation. Your comments are the biggest motivation for our progress. We will continue to improve our service quality and welcome you to come again next time.

The environment is nice, but the service is really bad. We paid for the accommodation, not to pay attention to the expressions of the front desk and kitchen staff. It feels too arrogant. I have to pay attention to your expressions just to have breakfast. Who are you showing your sour faces to? The lady in the kitchen still thinks the price is not worth your good attitude.

Facilities: The layout and facilities of the hotel really surprised me. I can stay in such a high-end hotel at this price! A lot of details are great! There are tea and snacks in the lobby, Laifen hair dryer, and mousse mattress. The bathroom is also equipped with alcohol cotton sheets and the bath towels are also very soft. It is really run with great care.
Hygiene: very clean
Environment: The hotel design is very beautiful and tasteful. There is also a gym and children's play area. The environment of the community is also very good! Very comfortable and quiet! I really recommend everyone to stay here. There are ancient villages to visit and parks nearby. Taking a taxi to Gaozhuang only costs 1-20 yuan, but the price/performance ratio is much higher than that of Gaozhuang!
Service: Xiaoyu at the front desk is very cute! Very approachable! There is also an airport pick-up and drop-off service. The boss dropped me off at the airport in the morning and brought me two tea eggs. My stay was very comfortable this time. Highly recommended.

I have never had such a strong feeling to give a hotel a good review. I rushed to review it on the return flight. I have stayed in many hotels, including five-star hotels. I am quite picky about bedding. I usually bring my own pillow when I go out, but this hotel I sleep soundly and comfortably every night in the hotel
1. In terms of hotel hardware, although it is not as big and complete as a star-rated hotel, it has almost everything. There is a children's play area, a children's swimming pool, a washing machine and a laundry room. The hotel is all equipped with smart guest controls, and children and Xiaodu play every day. of great joy
2. In terms of service, the hotel was very warm and comfortable from airport pick-up to check-in. Because we arrived at the airport at 8.50 in the morning, we had an early morning flight and did not have a good rest. We needed to check-in in advance, and the front desk handled it directly, unlike the hotel. When leaving the hotel, you must wait until 2 pm to check in. On the way, the driver also reminded you of some precautions when traveling to Xishuangbanna, which was very considerate. After finishing the check-in, you went to have breakfast. Even the aunt in the hotel kitchen was very nice. Every morning it was like going downstairs. It's the same as having breakfast at home. I would like to give special praise to Xiao Feng at the front desk and the little brother who checked in. My son watched Ultraman in the lobby and helped with the kids. It was really great.
3. The hotel provides guests with a lot of travel suggestions and advice on where they want to go. The hotel's car can also be picked up and dropped off for a fee, which is more cost-effective than booking a group tour outside. You don't have to worry about anything else. After going out for fun every day, you can return to the hotel. It's really great. It feels like home. The hotel is in the villa area. We went to the hot springs on the first day. It is conveniently located in the community. The environment of the hotel is very good and quiet. Although it is not as busy as Gaozhuang, we did not feel inconvenienced. If you are close to the hotel, there are battery cars for rent next to the hotel. It is very convenient for our family of three to travel, eat, drink and visit the village.
4 The hotel is very cost-effective. We found that the courtyard room we booked did not have a balcony. The little brother upgraded to a room with a balcony without saying a word. The price, including breakfast, is really good. I hope the hotel will prosper and make money. The better it is, I will consider staying here if I come to Banna again❤

Environment: Quiet, I specially chose accommodation some distance away from Gaozhuang. The hotel is in a community; taxis are convenient nearby, and there are also shared bicycles.
Facilities: Smart home, the facilities are consistent with the pictures on the platform; especially the latex pillows, white tea in the room, and self-service coffee machine in the lobby are our favorites🤭
Hygiene: clean and tidy, very comfortable to live in
Some friends want to go there, I also recommend this place👍

The hotel has an airport pick-up service. In the community of Jiu Mu Yu Forest, the community environment is good, with many green plants and lush vegetation. The hotel provides breakfast, and the staff are very friendly. There is a shallow swimming pool for children to play in, which is clean and refreshing. There is also a Lego room for children. Children like it very much and it is very comfortable to stay. It's relatively cooler and more convenient to ride a shared bicycle in the evening, and then find a local barbecue to eat. It's a great family trip.

1. The hotel is near the Big Buddha Temple and the environment is relatively quiet. It is about a 15-minute drive from Gaozhuang, which is quite convenient. However, the hotel is located in a residential area, and all cars outside must be parked at the intersection, so you can only walk to the hotel.
2. The hotel does not have many varieties of breakfast. The staple foods are only porridge and rice noodles, plus some side dishes, with limited choices. When you are out, as long as you can have energy for the day, you won’t worry about it.
3. Before the trip, I was attracted by the hotel's pick-up and drop-off service. Due to work reasons, I needed to transfer to Kunming by high-speed rail on the return trip. The front desk explained that there was no airport pick-up at that time that day and it needed to be sorted out by ourselves. The hotel's so-called 18:00-19:00 round-trip pick-up and drop-off service is basically useless.
4. The most annoying thing is the attitude of the front desk. The booking clearly states that check-out must be before 14:00. In fact, I was notified to check out at 12:00. I checked the order record with the front desk, and they directly replied that the hotel’s reply was final.

Don't book this one! ! ! Don't book this one! ! ! Avoid lightning! ! You can book a fast hotel for the same price. After all, many fast hotels have strict standards. If you are on vacation, don't book this one. It doesn't feel like a vacation at all. The water is not hot. There is no milk for breakfast. The attitude of the service staff is very bad. It takes more than 10 minutes to drive to Xinguang Night Market. So I strongly recommend that you don't book it.

The airport pick-up service was good, nothing else, but the airport pick-up was also to sell me tickets. The hotel price was ridiculously expensive during the Spring Festival. The room did not match the description, and the bathroom smelled too bad.

Response from Property: Thank you for choosing to stay at Xiaoya! Airport pick-up is one of the services Xiaoya mentioned to you. The pick-up driver may sell you tickets for scenic spots. Xishuangbanna has warm winters, which is suitable for wintering and health care, so the prices will be adjusted in winter and during the Spring Festival. The hundred-square-meter garden sunny courtyard, open-air swimming pool, indoor gym, children's entertainment area, indoor leisure area, etc. provide you with a perfect experience of comfort and tranquility. We look forward to your visit again to enjoy more of Xishuangbanna’s natural and cultural charm!
