Shaxi Jinsheng has you homestay

A beautiful guesthouse with a lovely and serene inner courtyard and modern, renovated accommodations and facilities! Shaxi is not large, so from this guesthouse location, we were able to easily walk around the streets of Shaxi. Perfect location! It's in the heart of the village, so from where our driver dropped us off (our previous guesthouse in Dali helped us arrange a carpool to Shaxi), we still had to walk around ~7-10 minutes. The streets of Shaxi are the cobblestone type, so it wasn't easy to bring our heavy luggage over (needed to carry it by hand, which was strenuous, tiring, and slow). To prepare, I had asked on trip.com messaging if there was anything to know before we got there and had even informed them about our arrival time ahead of time, but unfortunately didn't know this would be an issue - it would have been nice if they told us before and offered to help. But apparently you can tell the guesthouse if you do need help, and they can assist you with your luggage when you first arrive (they might have a luggage cart). When we left, the ladies helped us with our suitcases, which was definitely appreciated. Additionally, the staff helped arrange a carpool to Lijiang for the next day. Staff was nice in person. The room is perfectly comfortable and clean, with a very modern and fancy bathroom. I found the beds quite comfortable; it was perfect for two. Though the room is on the first floor, it wasn't loud or noisy. The breakfast was also surprisingly really nice (we opted for sandwiches and some noodles, I think I picked er si), including fruit, corn, and sweet potato. Got served a beautiful latte with refined latte art too. We really liked just sitting around in the courtyard too after walking around the village; the way they've designed it is so tranquil and relaxing, perfectly fitting with the ambiance of Shaxi. There was also a friendly cat (apparently not owned by the guesthouse, but the cat likes visiting often) roaming around. Note: Even though this review in English, we spoke to the staff in Chinese. It seems other foreign guests have stayed here before too though! Overall, would recommend!

Had a lovely and relaxing stay here. The room was spotlessly clean and the location of the property was perfect for walking around the town. The inner courtyard gets sunshine pretty much the whole day and it's perfect to enjoy a cup of tea after wandering around Shaxi. The breakfast was tasty and even came with a choice of coffee. The staff were friendly and attentive, and even though I don't speak Mandarin, there was a kind lady (apologies for not remembering your name!) who spoke English very well. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

The hotel boasts a charming courtyard with plants, trees, a small pond, and seating. The room was modern and equipped with everything we needed, including comfortable underfloor heating. The well-lit, spacious bathroom with plenty of hooks and shelves was a particular highlight. Everything was spotlessly clean. One small drawback: the beds were very hard. The service was excellent. Breakfast even included Western-style sandwiches and a variety of coffees. The staff was friendly and helpful. The owner speaks English, which was very helpful for us as foreigners, and she also assisted us with organizing our onward journey to Jianchuan. A big thank you to the entire team – we felt completely at ease and highly recommend this hotel.
