"This guesthouse is located right in the heart of Dali Old Town, making it super convenient for exploring. The coffee here is rich and aromatic, and the afternoon tea is both exquisite and delicious. The subtle scent of aromatherapy in the rooms is wonderfully soothing. The owner has clearly put a lot of thought into the overall design and room decor; you can see the meticulous details everywhere, making for a truly comfortable stay."

GGuest UserAbsolutely stunning! Such a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the breeze by Erhai Lake. The photos turned out amazing, seriously beautiful, and there were so few people around, so I could just snap away. Lying on the swing by the sea, watching the sparkling water, was just pure bliss. The environment is gorgeous, with swings, a garden, and a little balcony. I recommend going early in the morning; the light is especially soft and beautiful then. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. I'll definitely be back! Highly, highly recommend!!!

GGuest UserThis B&B is right by Erhai Lake, offering stunning views and a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. There are shared bikes nearby, so you can easily cycle to S Bay and Lang Bridge. If you want to catch the bus that circles Erhai Lake, the stop is less than a 10-minute walk away. The room was clean, and you can watch the sunrise right from your window. The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was exceptionally attentive. This is a very thoughtful B&B, and I highly recommend it! I'd definitely come back if I get the chance.

GGuest UserThe boss is very welcoming. It is very close to the entrance of the ancient town, more than 300 meters away. The room is large and clean, and there is a koi fish in the window.

--VickyChanThis guesthouse is located just outside Dali Old Town. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the old town. Getting a taxi was quite difficult; we waited for a long time with no luck, so we ended up walking back and forth. The guesthouse is up a small slope from the main road. On our way back from the old town, it started raining, and we had to run all the way back. I was so exhausted I ended up feeling dizzy and throwing up, just lay on the bed unable to move 😂.
The guesthouse itself is quite spacious, with a lovely courtyard where the owner keeps many well-behaved cats and dogs. The room was also huge! I honestly think this was the best value-for-money accommodation out of all the guesthouses I stayed in during my 7 days in Yunnan! I especially loved the large French window in the room; the view outside looked just like a painting!! My only minor suggestion would be to replace the bath towels – they're quite old and fraying. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

SsallyhxyI was really satisfied with my stay in Dali this time. I initially thought the location was a bit remote, but it's actually very close to S Bay and not noisy at all, offering a peaceful environment to relax. You can even see the sunrise from the room (though it was a bit disappointing because a mountain blocked the view, so I didn't see a red sunrise). The breakfast was different every day, and even when we had our makeup done in the lobby because of an appointment, the staff didn't mind and even offered us tea. Before we left, they gave us flower cakes and fruit. The service was absolutely amazing; every evening when we returned, they greeted us and offered sweet soup. I rarely write reviews, but I was truly happy with this experience!

MM55355****Cangshan No. 1 is a hotel with advanced concepts. The management model is a team of butlers who create a feeling of home for guests and think of everything in front of them.
The environment is beautiful and beautiful, with swimming pools, white beaches, coconut trees... creating a different paradise.
Every employee has a strong sense of priority and their service attitude is excellent, gentle and comfortable. Not only did he take the initiative to inquire, but he also introduced the characteristics and customs of the Bai people in a very thoughtful way.
The room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Each room has its own bathing pool, dry and wet are separated, and even the toilet is fully automatic. Very clean!
Breakfast and afternoon tea are richly prepared and have local characteristics. There is also a heart-warming evening sweet soup every night. My family and I felt that choosing Cangshan No. 1 for this trip was a great value!

TTraveling Family from GermanyWe had a very smooth experience from arrival to departure. The hotel organised a transfer from Dali Railway Station, which worked perfectly. Upon arrival, we were immediately helped with our luggage. Check-in was straightforward and worked without any issues for foreign guests. Basic English is spoken, which is fully sufficient for communication.
The hotel itself is small and built in a beautiful traditional Chinese style, with a lot of wood and a charming inner courtyard with warm lighting in the evening. The rooms are duplex-style: a cosy living room downstairs and a rustic bedroom upstairs, plus a balcony with a lovely view of the surrounding mountain peaks. The design feels authentic and calm. Bathrooms are slightly lower in height, so guests above 1.80m might find them a bit tight. Cleanliness throughout the property is excellent. Despite the traditional architecture, all modern comforts are available: fast and stable internet, strong heating in both living room and bedroom (important in winter), and a generally very comfortable atmosphere.
The location is near the Three Pagodas, just outside the main tourist development zone. You can walk to the first restaurants within minutes, and there is even a local restaurant directly next to the hotel. The Three Pagodas are within very easy walking distance, and from there you can conveniently use DiDi or rental scooters to reach other sights around Dali.
Breakfast can be taken either in a small dining room or delivered to the room. It is local Chinese style, adapted to the region, very tasty and served with a smile. Great coffee is available.
Checkout was simple, and the hotel arranged our return transfer as well. We even received a small souvenir gift per room, which was a very thoughtful touch.
Overall, this hotel is a real highlight in Dali. It feels like stepping back in time, but without sacrificing modern comfort. It is ideal both for exploring the main attractions and for simply relaxing in a quiet, peaceful setting away from the busier city areas.

Very Good
MMengyifanThis B&B scored full marks for overall comfort. All the staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful, providing excellent and heartfelt service that made me feel truly welcome. We communicated about check-in arrangements beforehand, and the process at the property was efficient and convenient, smooth throughout with no waiting. All our requests were quickly addressed. Not only did they recommend local must-see spots, but they also thoughtfully planned routes and provided travel tips, saving us a lot of hassle. The room was clean and tidy, with warm and elegant soft furnishings and exquisite details. The bedding was comfortable and soft, ensuring a superb night's sleep. Breakfast offered a wide variety of authentic dishes, made with quality ingredients that weren't skimped on. The environment was serene and elegant, creating a healing and relaxing atmosphere. This will definitely be my top choice for future trips, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Plus, they offer complimentary photo-taking which is a huge bonus, and there's no forced consumption whatsoever.
