"The most comfortable homestay I have ever stayed in Fuxian Lake, simple and rustic but full of details, with a sense of design everywhere, great for taking photos, and excellent product selection. The mattress and pillow are very comfortable, and I guess they are the same style as a certain one. The lotus pond outside the window is very comfortable, and it is also close to the lakeside beach. Everything is super healing, the two managers are also very friendly, and it feels as comfortable as friends. I will invite friends to stay again on weekends in the future."

Ouqiyuan Homestay (Dianchi Lake Haigeng Dam)

"First of all, the transportation is very convenient. Dianchi Lake is just a 2-minute walk away, and there are many seagulls. The room is also very quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpful, introducing what to do around the area and when to take photos. Seeing that we had elderly relatives and thought staying on the second floor would be inconvenient, they kindly arranged for us to stay in the courtyard on the first floor. The room is very clean, and the facilities are complete, all controlled by a smart speaker. The bedding is white and very clean. There are many places to eat nearby, which is very convenient. In the evening, there are many night market stalls, creating a great atmosphere, suitable for casual gatherings. Highly recommended."

I have to give a special shout-out to the front desk staff, who proactively upgraded our room for free and even gave our child a complimentary breakfast, saving us extra expenses – such great value for money. The room was clean and spacious, with excellent facilities. The breakfast buffet offered a huge selection, with plenty of pastries and milk specifically for kids. The hotel's location is superb; it's right in the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere. All the staff were incredibly kind and patient, especially friendly towards children. Our travel fatigue completely melted away here. I highly recommend it for families!"

Kunming Kasion Hotel

"I followed Ctrip's Yunnan hot spring hotel ranking to pick this hotel, and they really are experts! The Tengchong Kaishen Hot Spring Hotel absolutely deserves its double 5-star rating. [Hot Spring Experience] You can enjoy a private hot spring right in your room, and the water quality is incredibly comfortable! You don't even need to leave your room to experience the freedom of a hot spring. The hotel's overall environment is also very luxurious, completely meeting 5-star standards. Service Details: 1. The breakfast selection was rich, and for two consecutive days, the dishes were completely different, which shows great thoughtfulness. 2. They even provided two different flavors of toothpaste with the toiletries. 3. When checking out, not only did they give us a souvenir, but knowing we were driving, they specially prepared a car air freshener. Fully satisfied, 190%!"

The room was large and very clean; I believe it was an upgraded room, although the front desk didn't mention it, I noticed it after comparing. The airport drop-off service was also great; even though it was outside the standard time, they still coordinated with the driver to arrange it for us. Overall, it was impeccable!"

Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★
"The room was surprisingly large and spacious, offering great value for money. The only downsides were a persistent smoke smell in the room and a cigarette burn hole on the pillow. Even though I requested a non-smoking room and it seemed to have been aired out, the smoke smell was still too strong for a sensitive person like me to sleep. I'd suggest better bathroom cleaning and stricter non-smoking enforcement in the rooms."

"It is right in center, close to the famous gate and the walking street. You’d have get your luggage out to the main road to get DiDi but its not too far. (Maybe 200 metres) The hotel itself is decorated with everything totoro which is cute. Toilet looks very clean and seems to be newly decorated?"

"Great location, about a ten-minute walk from Kunming Old Street, right in the city center with convenient transportation. The room is very new and the amenities are excellent. Despite being a bit small, my personal experience felt on par with a five-star hotel. The hotel hallways smell lovely. Since it's still in its trial operation phase, the breakfast selection isn't very extensive, otherwise, it would have been perfect."

Gefei VX Hotel (North Square of Kunming Railway Station) ★★★
"The room was clean and spacious, just like in the hotel's promotional pictures. My corner room on the 5th floor offered the view you see in picture 3. The hotel is only a 5-minute walk from the North Square of the train station – just go straight out the main entrance and turn right. Pictures 4 and 5 show the affordable and pleasant Bridge Noodles restaurant downstairs. It was perfect for a short rest in the afternoon before my evening train. Getting to Kunming Old Street by bus is very convenient, but I wouldn't recommend driving there yourself due to the heavy traffic and numerous traffic lights."
