Bul.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Most Memorable Stay of My First Trip to China
I did a lot of research before choosing this guesthouse in Lijiang. Then I saw a photo of Aobai and somehow felt a calling 😂. I'm so glad I booked it because this turned out to be the most memorable stay of my entire trip.
From the moment we arrived, Ah Zhi and Xiaofei came to pick us up from the drop-off point and helped with our large and heavy luggage. We were travelling with children and walking slowly, but Xiaofei patiently walked with us while Ah Zhi pulled the luggage trolley all the way.
My first impression was that Ah Zhi and Xiaofei looked quite serious and intimidating 😂, but after getting to know them, I discovered they are some of the kindest and most helpful people I met during my trip.
The guesthouse is tucked away among the shops, making it peaceful, quiet, and cozy. We were welcomed by beautiful lady boss Wang Hui with high-quality Pu'er tea and flower pastries. The hospitality started immediately, and the tea never seemed to stop flowing.
Xiaofei, who constantly made sure I never went thirsty. Every time he saw me, he would offer me tea or stop by for a chat. Although my Mandarin is limited, communication was never a problem. We used Google Translate whenever needed and even had a few of our famous ”fresh air sessions” together 😂. Before long, it became an inside joke whenever Ah Zhi or Xiaofei saw me.
Of course, I cannot forget Aobai, the true star of the guesthouse! The owners were always happy to let Aobai out whenever my children wanted to see or play with him. After one play session, Xiaofei even noticed my coat was covered in Aobai's fur and handed me a lint remover. Such a thoughtful gesture.
Breakfast was one of the most unique experiences. All guests sit together at one long dining table, creating a warm and homely atmosphere. As a Muslim, I couldn't eat the noodles, but that was not a problem. I enjoyed steamed sweet potatoes, corn, and eggs, while the staff kindly prepared hot water for the cup noodles I brought for my children and even provided milk drinks. Everyone was respectful of my dietary restrictions.
There is also a free-flow coffee machine in the lobby using freshly ground coffee beans. Thank you, Ah Zhi, for making fresh coffee for me. When I requested milk for my coffee, Ah Zhi and Xiaofei happily helped. These little gestures made me feel so welcome.
It rained throughout our stay, but Xiaofei and Ah Zhi constantly reminded us to take umbrellas whenever we went out. Even when they were having dinner, they would come out to assist us, greet us when we returned, or see us off when we left.
A special thank you to Wang Hui, Ah Zhi, and Xiaofei. Their warmth, kindness, and hospitality made us feel completely at home. On checkout day, our train was very early, and Ah Zhi kindly sent us off with flower pastries and milk drinks for the journey. Xiaofei also recommended a halal restaurant nearby, and the food was exceptionally delicious.
I would also like to thank the other staff members whose names I unfortunately did not get. Every single person we met was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely caring.
I already miss Aobai and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for making my first trip to China such a memorable one.
Highly recommended. ❤️

This French-style courtyard hotel in Lijiang perfectly met all my needs! 🏡 It's just a twenty-minute walk to the Big Waterwheel, so I didn't have to deal with the crowds at the Old Town entrance. Being off the main thoroughfare meant I could explore the Old Town at my leisure, avoiding all the noise. The moment I stepped through the gate, the street noise just vanished. This perfectly solved the common problem of Old Town guesthouses being noisy due to their proximity to the street and constant tourist traffic. The suite was spacious and didn't feel cramped, unlike many other guesthouses. While the room itself didn't offer a snow-capped mountain view, the exclusive rooftop terrace was perfect for relaxing, enjoying the breeze, and gazing at the distant, continuous mountain range – truly a cure for travel fatigue. The concierge was incredibly thoughtful and attentive throughout my stay, promptly responding to any requests, which saved me the hassle of worrying about everything when I went out. The breakfast was decent and convenient, so I didn't have to search for food elsewhere. The soundproofing in the room was excellent; the outside tourist noise didn't disturb my rest at all. It truly offered a tranquil escape amidst the hustle and bustle. Both the location, comfort, and service were ideal. I'll definitely be choosing this courtyard again on my next trip to Lijiang.

AggieThe room was very clean, and the host was super friendly and helpful with luggage. There's also a Samoyed named Mitsu who is incredibly friendly; my kids absolutely adored her and couldn't bear to leave. The dog was very clean and well-behaved. Overall, the guesthouse was very quiet.

YAYAlvxingjiThere are so many options in Lijiang Old Town, but I've had my eye on this hotel for a long time and finally got to stay here. I was mainly drawn in by the restaurant's incredible view—it's simply stunning! The field of vision is amazing, and the best part is that you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ancient town without having to climb any slopes. On a clear day, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is clearly visible. It's totally worth it for the great photo ops! The afternoon tea was exquisitely made, and the breakfast was much more abundant compared to other places. Whenever we needed assistance, the butler responded very quickly. They provided buggies to and from the entrance of the ancient town, so we didn't have to worry about dragging our luggage over the cobblestone streets. Airport and train station pick-up services are also available if you let them know in advance! Overall, it was a wonderful stay.

Guest UserThis was genuinely the most satisfying hotel of our entire trip! It's pet-friendly, with a spacious area and a lawn on the ground floor where dogs can play. Upstairs, there's a balcony where you can enjoy the breeze. The hotel also offers afternoon tea, and the service attitude is absolutely exceptional; they are always ready to assist with any request. The staff member AVA was particularly thoughtful. There are charging stations in the underground parking lot downstairs, which is super convenient for charging. The laundry service is also great, and it's close to Shuhe Ancient Town with a shuttle service available. Honestly, everything about this place is fantastic. I hope the boss and all the staff get rich, haha!

VvyeeDisappointing Stay – The Worst Hotel We Stayed at in Yunnan
The first photo shows the view from my balcony. I booked a king-size bed room with a mountain view, but honestly, if you want to see the mountains, you have to lean your head out of the balcony and turn to the right. Otherwise, you can barely see them.
The second photo was taken when I walked out of my room and went to the common area. This is where I could finally see the mountain view properly, and the photo was taken with my iPhone without zooming in. The size of the mountain view is still acceptable, but u might see some underwear hanging at the common area. The last photo shows the garden view directly outside my room ( corridors area ).
The cleanliness was another major disappointment. The hotel provides a washing machine, but it was extremely dirty. The electric kettle was also disgusting. I suspect someone had cooked instant noodles or porridge in it, and it clearly had not been cleaned properly. I was so disgusted that I did not even take a photo.
We booked four rooms, all with king-size beds and mountain views. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the bathrooms was unacceptable. Room 303 was relatively okay, but the toilet bowl was very dirty. Room 302 had a dirty toilet bowl and bathtub. Room 306 constantly smelled of barbecue because it was close to the street, where food was being grilled. Room 301 was the only room where we could see the mountain view without having to lean out and turn our heads. Overall, all the rooms had numerous brown stains in the toilets, which made the bathrooms look poorly maintained.
Please also be aware that the hotel does not have a lift. If you are staying on the third floor, be prepared to carry your own luggage up and down the stairs. When we checked in, the staff helped carry our luggage and even commented that our luggage was very heavy. However, when we checked out, we had to carry everything ourselves.
The reception service was also disappointing. Since we had booked four rooms, we asked whether we could change rooms because of the barbecue smell in Room 306. There was another vacant room, Room 305, but the receptionist initially told us it had not been cleaned yet. We said we were willing to wait. However, she later told us that we could no longer change rooms because we had already entered Room 306 and our hair might have fallen out, so she could not give us the other room.
Honestly, this explanation was difficult to understand. We were willing to wait for the room to be cleaned, and it felt as though excuses were being made instead of trying to help us resolve the problem.
Overall, my entire family agreed that this was the worst hotel we stayed at during our trip to Yunnan, especially compared with the other hotels we experienced. The poor cleanliness, disappointing room views, barbecue smell, lack of a lift, and unhelpful reception service made our stay unpleasant.
We will not be returning to this hotel. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the cleanliness, service, and overall guest experience.
Location is great by walking distance can reach the bai sha old town which is good and the breakfast taste is great and good.

I must give a special shoutout to Aureliano! He truly made our stay at Banyan Tree Lijiang so much more memorable. He is calm, meticulous, and an absolute pleasure to communicate with. He has a great sense of boundaries—attentive without ever being overbearing. Whether we were asking about the resort grounds, nearby sightseeing spots, or had last-minute requests, he responded promptly and handled everything flawlessly. You could really tell that he genuinely cares about the guests, rather than just going through the motions of standard, assembly-line service. A vacation at the foot of a snow-capped mountain is romantic enough on its own, but such heartfelt service makes it truly unforgettable. Five-star recommendation!

Guest UserI traveled to Lijiang alone this time and chose the Lanye designer B&B. The overall experience far exceeded my expectations. I couldn't find any fault with the hygiene, environment, service, or facilities.
Firstly, the hygiene was exceptionally well-maintained, providing a perfect surprise. The bed linens were soft and skin-friendly, visibly clean and dry. The floors and bathroom corners were spotless, without any water stains or odors. Toiletries were neatly arranged, and every detail was meticulously cared for, making my stay feel incredibly secure.
The B&B boasts a 500㎡ healing garden, creating a wonderfully ambient atmosphere. It's very close to the Big Waterwheel in Lijiang Old Town, making it extremely convenient for exploring. The courtyard's greenery is artfully arranged, and you can see the snow-capped mountains when you look up. It's a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city, allowing you to experience the lively atmosphere of the old town while enjoying a peaceful and comfortable private space. It's perfect for taking photos.
The owner's service was warm and just right. Before check-in, they thoughtfully sent travel guides and proactively helped with luggage upon arrival. They also kindly recommended authentic local cuisine and off-the-beaten-path routes. Any questions were answered promptly, and the entire stay was attentive and considerate without being intrusive – the balance was perfectly struck.
The entire house features FUTURE smart facilities, offering an excellent intelligent experience. Lights and appliances can be smart-controlled, and the mattress is incredibly comfortable, truly living up to its 'deep sleep space' name, allowing for a good rest after a tiring journey. The hardware is brand new and in perfect condition, operating smoothly. The soft furnishings are sophisticated yet cozy, combining both aesthetics and practicality.
Overall, it was a nearly perfect accommodation experience. If I come to Lijiang again, I will definitely choose this B&B again. I sincerely recommend it to anyone traveling to Lijiang.

This guesthouse was incredibly heartwarming. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly, with a really personal touch. The location is super convenient too, with a parking lot right outside, making it easy to get to all the scenic spots. The front desk lady even upgraded my room for free! It was truly a worthwhile trip!
