2-Star Hotels in Deqin

The room was spacious, bright, clean, and tidy, with comfortable bedding. The 24-hour hot water and separate wet and dry areas were fantastic. The hotel thoughtfully provided local seasonal fruits and snacks in the lobby for guests to help themselves. It was my first time trying Naxi apples, and they were delicious! The sunlight streaming into the hotel restaurant and kitchen made breakfast feel warm and cozy. The breakfast selection was plentiful, including corn buns, rice noodles, and unique fried barley pastries. The owners were very welcoming; they answered all my questions about Shangri-La and provided information on nearby attractions and routes. I stayed for three nights! Also, Benzilan is located in a valley at a low altitude, with a cool and comfortable climate.

When I travel, I always look at reviews before booking. After extensive research, this place came up to be the most highly rated. Even though it wasn’t located as well as the other hotels (i will address why this is not a problem later). Firstly, the decor was beautifully Tibetan-themed. We got our room upgraded for free. This accommodation is new, so the facilities are extremely modern, with floor heating, smart-room features, and the most advanced toilet bidet system ever! There’s washing and even drying features, first time I’ve ever seen in a toilet! Secondly, the service was top-notch. The owner offers to drive you to the sunrise viewing platform, which is about 3 minutes drive away, and even offers to drive you to stargaze at night! This was certainly not expected, which I think the owner had done very well in. There’s even a small fitness corner if you’re interested in working out. All in all, this was one of my favourite stays in Yunnan!

I accidentally booked an extra night, and the owner kindly helped me get a full refund, which I really appreciate. My stay this time was fantastic! The hotel environment is quiet and elegant, and the room was spotlessly clean with great natural light and ventilation. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed, paying close attention to every detail. It offers excellent value for money, making for a comfortable and worry-free stay. I highly recommend it!

Booking this hidden gem of a guesthouse was the best decision of my entire trip! The overall experience far exceeded my expectations and completely changed my perception of guesthouse stays. I absolutely have to write a detailed, heartfelt review to recommend it to everyone. I was initially drawn in by the beautiful online photos, but arriving in person, I found the real place to be even more stunning. The overall decor is elegant and cozy, with a fantastic sense of design. The common areas are adorned with plants, tea seating, and cozy nooks, creating an incredible ambiance. Every corner is picture-perfect, and the fatigue from traveling simply vanished the moment I walked in. What truly impressed me was the meticulous cleanliness. The entire place was spotless, the floors gleaming. The bedding was brand-new, made of pure cotton – soft, fluffy, and with a faint, pleasant scent, making it incredibly relaxing to lie down on. The bathroom featured a dry/wet separation, completely odorless. Toiletries, disposable slippers, and towels were all provided. Even the nooks, crannies, and edges of the vanity were wiped clean. It's clear the owner has extremely high standards for cleanliness, which made my stay feel incredibly safe and reassuring. The room amenities were comprehensive. Air conditioning and hot water were available and plentiful 24/7. The mattress and pillows were just the right firmness. The blackout curtains provided excellent light sealing, ensuring a quiet environment at night with no disruptive noise. Even as a light sleeper, I slept soundly until morning. Small details like audio-visual equipment, charging points, and storage were all thoughtfully provided – everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The service from the owner and staff was impeccable. Before check-in, they proactively sent precise location details, parking tips, and tour routes. They even thoughtfully recommended local, lesser-known eateries and photo spots. Upon arrival, they enthusiastically helped with luggage, and the check-in process was quick and efficient. They were always available to answer questions, responded to messages promptly and patiently, and promptly addressed any minor issues that arose, never giving a perfunctory impression. It felt like interacting with friendly neighbors. The guesthouse boasts an excellent location, making it convenient for getting around. Dining and transportation options nearby are abundant. It's a quiet oasis amidst the bustling area, balancing convenience with tranquility. Compared to chain hotels, this place offers a warmth and human touch, without the cold commercial feel, and the value for money is outstanding. I've already saved it and added it to my 'revisit' list. I will definitely choose it again for future trips to this area. I sincerely recommend it to all travelers – you can book with your eyes closed, you won't regret it. A perfect score is truly deserved.

They say you might not see the ”Golden Mountain in the Sun” in October, so I booked this place to avoid wasting money on a view that might not deliver. Turns out, we actually saw it! Super worth it!! The location is right next to where the bus drops you off, so it's a very easy walk, and close to the Feilai Temple viewing platform. The room was unbelievably spacious, and the underfloor heating worked perfectly. There are only four or five rooms, and the view is absolutely stunning. The owner is very simple and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this for anyone hoping to catch the Golden Mountain but worried about a wasted 4-hour drive if they miss it. The accommodation quality is easily more than triple that of other scenic hotels at the same price point, and the courtyard itself can help ease any disappointment if you don't see the sunrise. Let's talk about the downsides: 1. Feilai Temple is currently under construction, so there are large vehicles at night. I personally wasn't bothered by the noise, but I can't guarantee others wouldn't be. This seems to be a common issue for hotels along this road. 2. The room was very clean and tidy, but I wasn't a fan of the air freshener scent. My partner didn't notice it, though. 3. There were some really large flies. I hope the owner can improve pest control. Although they'll probably freeze to death in a few days, seeing them definitely puts a damper on the mood.

My room was as described. Functional and nice and warm (with heating on) with an excellent hot shower and nice wooden wall beams. The people who run the place are lovely and also offer nice breakfast options in the morning. The only small note I have is that (despite best efforts and a very modern ventilation system in the bathroom) the bathroom is already moldy. I understand that it's a challenge to get under control given the climate. I would stay again next time, and actually spend more than just one night here. There is so much you can explore here!

I chose this hotel to see the Meili Snow Mountain. It's close to the Feilai Temple observation deck, a good location, only about a ten-minute walk. There are many restaurants nearby for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Since I booked a special offer room, I didn't expect too much; the room was very small. But I was incredibly lucky and got to see the beautiful Meili Snow Mountain.

I’m sharing my honest feedback in the hope the owners find this useful and can use this to improve. I am coming with good intentions and wish the owners the best! If you are just looking for somewhere to lay your head after a long day of hiking and are a good sleeper, this place will suit you fine. The beds are large and comfortable. The bed heater comes in very handy and the showers are hot. The wifi signal is good. The dogs and cats are cute. With regards to where to improve, my suggestions below: 1. It is quite hard to find the place - the name is slightly different on Amap compared to Trip.com and as it’s a small village the roads don’t exactly match up with the map. Some signage would really help as other hotels have done. When you’ve been hiking for 5 hours and are tired you need some clear direction! 2. The owners have quite a relaxed and casual attitude to hospitality and I think they could do more to make you feel welcome. It is more of a homestay than a hotel - the common area doubles as the owners living space, and while the owners go about their day (eating, playing on phone, de-fleaing their cats) it can on occasion feel like you are intruding upon their space. A little hospitality would go a long way - a smile or acknowledgment when you enter the room, the offer of a hot drink on arrival or a warm welcome after your long hike to the village for example. 3. I think the above is especially true for foreign guests- I can speak and read some Mandarin so was able to get by, but it would be difficult if you had no understanding of the language and the hosts are not particularly forthcoming with help or information. This stands out as everywhere else we have been in China hosts have been so hospitable and willing to help - translation apps are so useful here. Just a simple one pager of what you offer, the menu, kitchen hours etc translated into English is my suggestion! 4. There is absolutely no soundproofing in the room. You can hear every footstep, whisper and noise from the adjoining rooms - if you are a light sleeper you will wake up. I would really recommend that this is addressed for guests’ peace! 5. Install one non-squat toilet in the shared bathroom area, so guests who aren’t used to these can use another type of toilet! Unfortunately, there is still quite a bit of construction going on around but there’s nothing that the hosts can do about that - it is everywhere in the village. We weren’t lucky enough to experience good weather while we were there but I have no doubt the views would have been incredible!

The biggest pleasant surprise of my Yubeng trip was definitely this guesthouse. Opening the window revealed a breathtaking vista of snow-capped mountains and pristine forests; when shrouded in mist, it felt like a fairyland. Waking up to that view each morning was truly healing – the scenery is so stunning it left me speechless! What made it even better was the warm service, especially from the front desk staff. They were incredibly enthusiastic and attentive throughout, patiently helping us plan our hiking routes, reminding us of important precautions, and even proactively drying our soaking wet hiking shoes after our treks. The attention to detail showed so much warmth. Staying here offers both the tranquil beauty of nature and the thoughtful care of family. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Yubeng!

The location is fantastic, super easy to get around, and there are plenty of dining and entertainment options nearby. The place itself is spotless, and the common areas have a relaxed and comfortable vibe. The beds are clean and odor-free, and the washing facilities are comprehensive. The owner is incredibly warm and friendly, and the service is excellent. This place offers amazing value for money. It's my top choice for accommodation when traveling, and I'll definitely be back!
