VictorRomierThis is by far one of our most amazing experience in Yunnan ! The hotel is very well located in the Pugaolao village, with a stunning view on the rice terrace. No need to walk, you can just open your curtain and you will have a mesmerizing sunrise. The owner is an angel, so helpful and nice with her customers. We enjoy a meal with the whole family, party and many more (they have a restaurant in the hotel). I recommend this place more than any other !!! Thank you very much for this amazing stay

Everything was so nice. I really enjoyed my time here! It started perfect with a free room upgrade. Then, it continued to be perfect with lots of cuddles with the dog and cat. I love the location of the guesthouse. It’s in the middle of a Hani village. You can watch the farmers doing their incredible work. You can make nice walks here. And the hosts is really helpful and can give you great advice. I am a country side girl and for me this place was absolutely perfect to calm my soul.

The room was very spacious and clean, with down comforters. The owner must have had it designed; the decor and quality were excellent. The food in the cafeteria was especially delicious. Although there were trendy restaurants nearby, we chose to eat at the guesthouse, and it was definitely the right choice. The ingredients were good, and the food tasted great. I glanced at the kitchen, and it was very clean and reassuring. The owner and head chef were very down-to-earth, which was reassuring. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the Duoyishu viewing platform, which conveniently avoids the traffic congestion, and it's also closer to the sea of clouds. The sea of clouds in the picture was seen about 200 meters away from Duoyishu from the guesthouse; there was no sea of clouds at Duoyishu that day.

Guest UserThe inn is located in a quiet village in Duoyishu. Location was good - about 15 to 20 mins walk from Duoiyishu terrace viewing platform, and there was a small restaurant near the inn. The Hani caretaker was hospitable and showed me the way to get to the terrace fields in the village. It was so wonderful being able to get so close to the rice terraces! Here, you could view the sunrise without having to pay the 70yuan charged at the viewing platforms. Do note that the 70 yuan ticket allows access to the other viewing platforms as well, and is good for 72 hours. I had a free upgrade to a bigger room with large windows and a view. The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable with an electric blanket. Owner is fluent in both Chinese and English, and was helpful in arranging my transport and giving advice on the sunrise viewing spots. I have beautiful memories of my stay in Duoyishu, would like to come back again!

This guesthouse boasts an excellent location for viewing the Duoyishu Rice Terraces. After staying for two days and comparing numerous guesthouses along the Duoyishu Terraces, I can confidently say this one has a large and well-positioned viewing deck. I highly recommend it for anyone planning to catch the sunrise at the Duoyishu viewing platform. You won't need to rush there early and battle crowds; instead, you can leisurely photograph the sunrise right from the guesthouse's deck. Duoyishu Terraces are often foggy, and sunrises can be elusive, so it's a good idea to check the weather forecast beforehand. If it's foggy, you can simply wait comfortably in your room for the sun to break through before heading down. The guesthouse is built into the hillside, so cars can't drive directly to the entrance. While there's a parking lot, it's a short walk from there to the guesthouse. The hostess will meet you with an electric scooter to help with your luggage, so I'd advise packing light. The owners are a local couple; the husband cooks and the wife handles guests, and they are both very friendly. The room insulation could be better, but overall, its minor flaws are easily overlooked. Recommended!

The room facilities were very new, and the double room had smart curtains, which is considered very good for the Yuanyang Rice Terraces. Breakfast was served at the hotel restaurant: rice noodles and eggs. The view was fantastic, overlooking two-thirds of the beautiful Duoyishu area – absolutely wonderful!

This hotel is very well located, just next to the main road and only 100 meters from the scenic platform, making it super convenient for visiting the famous rice terraces.
Breakfast is served in a small restaurant downstairs, offering a Chinese-style noodle soup.
The staff were very helpful—the lady at the reception arranged a van for me to return to Mengzi since there’s no fixed bus schedule in the area.
The rooms have a nice view of the terraces and nearby towns, though some buildings partially block the scenery.
The only downside was the bathroom—when taking a shower, water splashed all over the floor because there wasn’t a proper shower enclosure. A glass partition or curtain would really improve this.
Overall, a good stay thanks to the great location and helpful service, just needs a small upgrade in the bathroom!

The room was very spacious and well-equipped, with excellent furnishings. Parking was very convenient. It's located on a hillside on the other side of the scenic area, quite far from Duoyishu, so the sunrise view is significantly less impressive. The furniture was solid wood, but the bathtub and shower water temperature was only 40°C; I soaked for 20 minutes and it got freezing cold.
The front desk staff weren't very attentive to guests. When I asked about the weather, they simply replied ”I don't know” and that was it. While this is understandable, one day while she was smoking, she greeted me, and I was throwing away trash in front of her because I had too many things in my hands. She didn't even get up to help. Basically, you're only treated as a guest room; there's no other information or service.

Travis and ElishaWhat a great location for being amongst the terraces! We splurged and got the terrace view room, and it was very nice with a great view, comfortable bed, warm blankets, and hot shower. The room has an unblocked view of the terraces. But if you don't get that room, the upstairs balcony has the very best view. But we enjoyed watching the sunrise from our bed with hot tea.
Lucian is really great! He explained to us different hiking options for seeing other views. His English is really good too so you can ask him any questions about the area. He has a sweet old dog and a cute young cat. He's also available to pick you up if you get lost or have trouble getting back after sunset.
There are 2 good restaurants a 10 minute uphill walk away, or Lucian can cook you meals, which are also great.
Thanks Lucian!

Anonymous UserThe boss is a lady from Henan Province. She is very welcoming. Before I left, she introduced a chartered car driver to me and reserved an electric blanket for my room. After arriving, we were introduced to the free viewing area and could order food and cook at any time. But to be honest, the room was still a bit cramped and there was barely enough space between the beds. I heard that the voltage on the mountain is unstable and there are always power outages. I also caught one this time🙈
The inn is not far from the Duoyishu Observation Deck, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there. There is a village below, where you can go down to the terraced fields and take a stroll.
After I went there, I realized that the price and quality of accommodation at Yuanyang Rice Terraces vary greatly, especially during holidays, so it depends on your personal preference.
