GGuanguanjujiu，zaihezhizhou😊I watched the young lady change the sheets and quilt covers for every bed that checked out. It was so hard! The sheets and quilt covers are made of pure cotton, white and odorless, and the price-performance ratio is very good. You can check in with confidence. Hygiene and safety are very important when you are away from home. The young lady will also remind me to lock the door at night and pay attention to safety. When I need help, the young lady is also enthusiastic and quick-hearted, which makes me feel very warm! What else can I complain about at this price. I am very lucky to be able to stay in this hotel. I am very happy to meet such an easy-going young lady. After the end of this trip, my heart is still warm when I think about it. I wish Miss Mei Ni good health, good luck, prosperous business, and good people in the new year. 🌹

GGuest UserLocation was great that it was a walk away from the Kunming Railway Station where I needed to be to leave the city. I liked how it was near a lot of food places! The volunteer Evens was an interesting person to talk to when I learned about his background in what he does as an occupation and where he is originally from in China. The owner Winni was a nice person as well and I appreciated and enjoy her and some of the other guests that cooked for us the night that we had a big dinner. Thank you for being part of the chef crew Winni. Everybody who stayed at the place was respectful and considered towards one another in the way that they conducted themselves. Was able to go along with the rules of this hostel because it fit my daily habits. Nobody had any habits that bothered me.
Not really into the hostel type of stays, due to lack of privacy. Was just happy to stay at this place since it was pretty much right at the doorstep of the Kunming Railway station where I can catch my train on time where I wouldn't end up getting lost in the city which in turn would end up missing it.
The only negative thing that I didn't like was that the bathroom did not have bath towels and just regular hand towels where I would not be able to dry myself very well after showering. Because of this I didn't want to take a shower at this place and the fact that these towels were used repeatedly from other guests, which made me feel uncomfortable wanting to use it. Would come back to this Hostel again if I happen to have to come back to Kunming again where I needed to be near this train station to catch at train there.

AAnonymous UserIt was okay. It's right by a subway exit and close to Kunming First Affiliated Hospital, making it very convenient for getting around. You can also catch a bus to the park. The room hygiene was fine. There's a courtyard downstairs with some plants, so there were quite a few mosquitoes.

EEva13I have nothing but praise for this hotel! Extremely friendly owners, they even upgraded our room for free! The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The best thing is the hot spring tub in the bathroom, so relaxing! The location is convenient too, walking distance from the lake in one direction and to the town centre with many restaurants in another. On our next trip to Yangzonghai we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!

MMingyuA hotel with a very folk-style environment, it is relatively clean in a village, and behind it is the folk customs. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the village to Dianchi Lake. The whole feeling is surrounded by strong ethnic culture. It is a good travel experience. It is also close to eating, and there are more famous ethnic restaurants nearby.

GGuest UserA very, very good stay experience. The boss is a very kind person. He patiently answered all the big and small questions one by one. It is very, very good! In terms of the environment, it is very, very, very clean. There are volunteers cleaning every day. The boss said that the volunteers are very good in all aspects. Clean carefully. The bathroom is also very clean, white and bright with no peculiar smell! The roommates I met are all very friendly and quality people! When I traveled to Kunming this time, I felt a lot of goodwill and enthusiasm, and I ate a lot of delicious food. I want to cry when I think about leaving here and going back to a food desert. It’s so comfortable that I don’t even want to leave here! Thank you very much to the boss for giving me a particularly good experience of staying in a hostel! I’ll come back next time!

CCê OtuskiFor what it offers, it's pretty cheap. Excellent location, right next door to the railway station, plus double room (shared bathroom) for the same price as the bunk beds in that same region. The bathrooms aren't exactly clean, and they were knocking on my door 3 minutes past check out time, but it was good in general
