Anonymous UserLocation of the hotel is perfect for anyone visiting lugu lake. Imagine waking up to the view of the lake and mountains.
The hotel is also fairly new with beautiful deco and they have prepared many thoughtful things include disposable towels, disposable bath tub towel, free daily afternoon tea and a short photoshoot. The front desk staff 阿文was also very helpful.
A couple of things I wished went better:
- breakfast: selection was quite limited and mainly Chinese food. Was not an issue for me as I typically don’t take breakfast.
- limited toilet paper: unfortunately my husband and I were down with food poisoning during the trip so the toilet paper quickly became a scarcity.
- inconsistent temperature in the shower: the shower on my first night toggled between icy cold and steamy hot even without me adjusting the temperature. Overheard from other guests that they had the same issue as well. The hotel thankfully was able to fix it on my second night.
- mattress was too hard, and it felt like I was sleeping directly on the floor… unfortunately the hotel didn’t have an option to add on a topper and it really affected my sleep quality during the two nights we were there. However, preference for a softer mattress is personal. Would have been nice if the hotel has toppers prepared for guests who prefer a softer bed.
Overall, it was still a pleasant experience and I’d recommend for anyone visiting lugu lake.

Guest UserAn unexpected delight during our Yunnan trip!
We made a last-minute decision to visit Lugu Lake. After seeing reviews mentioning cats (which my kids love), we booked this place without much further thought.
To our surprise, the children absolutely adored it, and we adults found it incredibly relaxing too.
The staff were so kind and helpful to the little ones, and the convenient pick-up/drop-off service made getting around effortless.
Even on a rainy day, the kids had a blast participating in the guesthouse activities!
We even hiked up the back mountain to forage for mushrooms – so much fun!
The overall decor perfectly complements the stunning scenery of Lugu Lake; it's a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
I've stayed in many expensive guesthouses, but this is the only one I genuinely feel offered excellent value for money.
From the hardware (scenery, decor, facilities) to the software (service, experience), everything was top-notch.
We regretted not arriving sooner and wished we could have stayed an extra two days. Just relaxing at the guesthouse, strolling around, or enjoying a drink on the terrace with the view – it was all incredibly comfortable.
It's perfect for a few friends to gather, unwind, and clear their minds.
One last thing: the breakfast was quite rich, especially the Western options. My two kids were fighting over it and even wanted to order more after finishing! Unfortunately, portions are prepared in advance, so if your kids are big eaters, I recommend ordering an extra portion in advance. 😂😂😂
If I get the chance, I'll definitely come back with friends for another vacation.
A million recommendations!!!!

MunaiyizhanshiBooking Qianshanji was definitely the right decision. I completely fell in love with the hotel's interior design—the small pottery accents, the large wooden doors, and the minimalist yet luxurious vibe. The floor-to-ceiling window acts like a picture frame, showcasing the stunning scenery of Lugu Lake right to the guests. What left the deepest impression, however, was how warm and friendly the staff are. They are all so chatty, not only helping with luggage and providing free rides within a 5km radius, but also introducing local delicacies, customs, and offering great travel tips. The afternoon tea isn't just a one-time thing as described, but provided every day of the stay, and the dried apples were exceptionally delicious. The breakfast is rich and varied, with slight changes every day. The hotel's sister restaurant, Shiyeji, is also quite good; I highly recommend the apple roast goose. Unlike the juicy Cantonese roast goose, this version is dry-roasted, aromatic, and crispy. Lugu Lake is abso-lutely breathtaking, and Qianshanji made this trip complete.

Anonymous UserAuthentic lake view room, with a super comfy balcony! The room was incredibly spacious! The bedding and all facilities were spotless. They also provided a complimentary afternoon tea, and it was a proper one – milk, rose tea, biscuits, dried fruits, and more. All the staff were very friendly, and they have their own parking lot, which is great for those driving. If I ever go back to Lugu Lake, I'd definitely choose this place again!

Anonymous UserFacilities: Very new. I booked a loft room with a terrace, and the floor-to-ceiling panoramic window was amazing. It was incredibly relaxing to sit on the terrace and enjoy Lugu Lake on a clear day.
Cleanliness: Clean and tidy.
Service: The amenities provided were very thoughtful. The room had sanitary pads, disposable face towels, insect repellent, eye masks, and earplugs, showing how much effort they put into preparing essentials. They offered shuttle service to and from Daloshui Village; just contact them, and a car arrives within five minutes. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic; they even washed, dried, and returned my clothes. Their attitude was superb.
This is truly the most delightful hotel I've encountered on my Yunnan trip so far!

A perfect experience where the scenery is healing, and the details and service warm your heart.
The azure winter of Lugu Lake is captivating, and the reminiscing about mountains and seas turns this captivation into a truly warm memory. It offers more than just a place to stay; it's a complete sense of ease and joy from being thoroughly cared for.
The room's view is unbeatable. The tranquil blue hues of the lake in winter are like a dynamic painting. The room design is clever and well-arranged, and the screened windows ensure a perfect balance of ventilation and comfort, with no stuffiness at all.
The complimentary room upgrade upon check-in was already a pleasant surprise. Even more remarkable was the staff's enthusiastic and attentive service, constantly going up and down to serve me, whether I was on the room's balcony or enjoying the lavish afternoon tea in the common area.
The manager is knowledgeable and talkative, making conversations enjoyable. The other staff members are also genuinely warm and not overly so, making interactions feel very natural.
The main meals were stunning: The boiled beef slices and crispy potato patties for dinner were authentic and flavorful, incredibly satisfying.
The afternoon tea was abundant: The afternoon tea pastries were unexpectedly generous, and enjoying them with the lake view significantly enhanced the sense of leisure.
The bedding comfort is exceptionally high. The mattress and pillows were so comfortable that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. What touched me the most was that the guesthouse thoughtfully provided steam eye masks—because the lakeside sun is strong during the day, wearing them at night was incredibly soothing for my eyes. This detail truly 'saved my life'! They really started from the guest's actual experience.

Guest UserMy first review on Ctrip is dedicated to Muyu Guesthouse in Lugu Lake. As someone who doesn't like to do much research, I'm always afraid of being misled by online photos before booking. After browsing hundreds of hotels and guesthouses, I finally chose Muyu, which I suppose was fate. The result far exceeded my expectations: the entire guesthouse is decorated in warm orange tones, and every room exudes a cozy and romantic atmosphere. I especially loved the small garden on the first floor—among the guesthouses in the area, only Muyu has maintained its plants so meticulously, perfect for photos and for pets to play in. The short-haired landlady is efficient and warm, with a natural radiance in her conversation. From the spatial layout to the service details, her thoughtfulness is evident everywhere. Even the recommended local restaurants were a pleasant surprise. Lugu Lake is already a paradise worth visiting repeatedly, and Muyu's existence gives this longing a true home. After returning home, Mr. Z was inspired to write a poem for Muyu as a token of his gratitude:
Muyu: Emerald green hills creep up the steps at dawn, the reed gates open to reveal a lush dew.
Muyu The aroma of beans cooked in the spring fills the house; the cauldron, like clouds, is simmered, its surface shimmering like silk.
Occasionally, mountain birds are called to add to the wild vegetables; sometimes, the moon shines on the fragrant cup.
The most sentimental is the guest by the abyss, who rises at dawn to simmer a soup of fine, delicate ingredients.

Guest UserThis hotel left an extremely strong impression on my family! For the price point, the location and view from our room was amazing. The view is unblocked, and we had a nice walk by the lake. There is a cafe beside the hotel which served nice drinks and food. The view from the cafe was excellent, and we would highly recommend paying a visit there! The room had a nice, cozy feeling and a spacious balcony. There aren't many restaurants in this particular town, but the main town is about a 15 minute walk or 2 minute drive from the hotel. However, the hotel is able to provide dinner! They have a several options to choose from like noodles and hotpot, and the prices are extremely affordable! The hotpot was really delicious as well, and the breakfast was scrumptious! In the morning, there will be dew above the waters of the lake, and the view is simply stunning. Overall, we had a really great experience here thanks to the helpful and friendly staff!

The hotel is located on the lakeside not far from the lake area. The balcony faces southeast. We arrived in the afternoon and saw the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake. Lugu Lake is quiet and beautiful, just like this hotel and the hostess of the hotel. A girl, enthusiastic and sincere. We thought that afternoon tea was just a cup of tea and a few biscuits. But they had 4 kinds of fruits, French fries and chicken nuggets, and the tea was also a local specialty flower tea. It was very attentive at first glance. There were also desserts in the evening. The rice noodles for her breakfast were much better than those in most restaurants. The hotel is clean, well-equipped, and the hot water in the bathtub is sufficient. It adds a lot of color to the trip to Lugu Lake. I look forward to going there again next time.

Guest UserAnother absolute gem in Yunnan. The price is relatively affordable and all you get for it is totally worth it. The views outward the hotel lobby is stunning and the decor of the interior is very cozy and fitting. You have a full view of the lake from the front unobstructed.
Rooms have everything basic and more. Relatively spacious and decorated very extensively, cozy and comfortable setting and bed. Nice setup in the bathroom area and shower is spacious. Toilet with automated bidet is also nice. For those who like bathing there is a bath with mountainside views and bath salts/supplies given.
The AI and automated curtains add a nice touch, though this one is more primitive than xiaodu.
Staff were very kind and helpful,offered to drop me off at the bus stop and served dessert at night.
