"Overall, it's a great place. The hostel has a fantastic location, very close to the old town. The accommodation environment is nice, the staff are interesting, and the fellow travelers I met were fun too—lots of outdoor enthusiasts. The vibe is very natural, not forced, and I felt completely at ease during my stay."

"An absolutely wonderful stay! The hostel has a fantastic vibe, with comfortable and cozy common areas. My friends and I had a very pleasant time. Even though it was a 6-bed dorm, the hygiene was meticulously maintained, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. Both the owner and staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful, making you feel right at home. Highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Dali!"

"This isn't one of those cold, impersonal hostels. It's easy to meet new people in the common areas, but there's no pressure to socialize, so even introverts will feel comfortable. The bathroom has excellent wet/dry separation and great attention to detail. I really enjoyed my stay."

Hotel near Lower Section of Erhai Ecological Corridor,Dali City
"Facilities: Girls live on the second floor, with a small private balcony and dressing room.
Hygiene: I heard that it opened last year and the environment is very clean.
Service: The guy at the front desk and the sister who cleaned the room were very nice. I recommended it because we happened to meet the annual Guanyintang Temple Fair. The incense is strong and lively
Will come again."

"A very satisfying stay! This hostel is tucked away in an alley, but it's not isolated at all, just a few minutes' walk from the main street. It's a peaceful spot despite being so close to the action. The Catholic church is right in the same alley. The room was clean and tidy, with all the necessary amenities. The owner is handsome, friendly, and enthusiastic. If I come back to Dali, I'll definitely stay here again."

__WeChat244685****A very comfortable guesthouse.
The owners were very welcoming; the owner was lovely, had a story to tell, and was very talkative. The whole family was very friendly and helpful, even helping with our luggage – thank you so much!! Actually, I wasn't really into the food in Dali this time, and was a little disappointed, but the owner recommended some nearby ”non-trendy” restaurants: Blueberry Fish and Ganggang Rice Noodles. They were within walking distance, delicious, and in a great location – right next to the March Street Market, and there's also a Lotus Root Shop nearby, which is great for browsing. It's also very convenient to walk to the Old Town.
And!! Peach the dog is so cute! A chubby little dog, so adorable and easy to pet. He even got up later than us this morning, haha!
Hope to see him again sometime!

GGuest UserI really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. Met some amazing fellow travelers there. The owner allowed us to use his kitchen for cooking. We went to local market and bought some stuff to prepare our own meals. The capsule bed was comfortable and provided privacy. The front porch allows us to socialize and meet other travelers.

Gghl.A comfortable stay, with helpful staff.
Lots of young people who were generally friendly and helpful. I think there's a good community here.
The smoke from the nightly campfire was unpleasant as our room faced the front yard. Thankfully we managed to close the windows.
The hostel is set in a village just outside the old city - about 10 minutes walk, I think. Very conveniently located near the #8 bus route to the train station.

GGuest UserFantastic hostel! Although we're not young we had a great time here, it was peaceful and we had a fantastic room (I think probably the best) on the top floor. The roof terrace was an incredible surprise - it's beautifully taken care of with many plants and the view of the city and mountains is incredible! Location was prefect. The cats were adorable. It's a hostel so you can't expect the cleanest, but for the price it's perfect and unbeatable. It was especially fun to interact with young Chinese gen-z, the kids here are so kind and seem to be having a great time at this cozy, relaxed, home-like hostel! We'd recommend to people from any country and any age, you'll have a great time.

GGuest UserSuch a cool travellers hostel! Perfect vibes to socialise, make new friends, and go sightseeing! The boss was so lovely! We had a shared shaokao BBQ with everyone, he took us to look around the ancient town and bonfire dance one night and another night took us to the lakefront to see karaoke-style singing! Great location by the cangshan mountain, just a short walk to the town and the food street too!

XXiangrikuidiThis hostel is really fun! You can cook and share meals with other guests, and the volunteer staff are super interesting. There's a dedicated game room for playing Werewolf, mahjong, and they even have a projector. Sometimes at night, people play music, so you can sing along and chat.
