2-Star Hotels in Pu'er

Having seen many reviews about the poor hygiene, inadequate service, and lack of facilities at guesthouses in Jingmai Mountain, I had already lowered my expectations. However, the actual experience exceeded my expectations. They had all the disposable toiletries that hotels usually provide. The owners were incredibly kind, cooking free rice noodles for everyone every morning and inviting guests for tea. In the evenings, they would knock on the door and bring freshly grilled pork belly – it smelled amazing and was incredibly delicious! The guesthouse's location was also fantastic; you could see the sea of ​​clouds right from the window, and it was very quiet at night. It was truly excellent value for money. The owners also sell tea, and I bought some to bring back as gifts for my family before leaving – the prices were very reasonable. Superb!

The environment was very comfortable and relaxing. Beautiful view whwre you can see some of the sea of clouds. They give you disposable coverings for you to put on top of the fresh pillow bedding and mattress for extra hygiene which is a nice touch I haven't seen before. Bathroom is very clean, though there are only two toilets and two showers and two sinks, so do note that for busy season, but it wasn't an issue at all during my stay. They provided breakfast too, fresh milk the boss heated for me when I got up, and red sugar glutinous rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves (babas), and it was fun to get ready for the day with new friends on the balcony overlooking the village. I think the environment is very good for meeting new friends and other solo travelers- I arrived at the hostel randomly at the same time as three other girls, and we explored Manghong togetjer on the boss's recommendations for itinerary and sightseeing. And the next day the boss dropped us off at a tea roasting experience, and just as we were heading to Nuogan another girl from the hostel finished her tea roasting session, so we all went to Nuogan togetjer to play. The boss even helped load my luggage onto the shuttle bus so that it could pick me up at a sightseeing spot further down the mountain!

We really had a wonderful stay here. It was one of the cleanest and most comfortable accommodations we experienced in Yunnan during our one month trip. If I had to rate our stays, this would be the one I give 10 out of 10. Our room had a wooden balcony overlooking the neighborhood, a place where I truly felt at home. Sitting there quietly, observing daily life and enjoying the view, made the stay feel especially peaceful and intimate—truly something special. The owner was genuinely caring and very attentive to our well-being. The family runs their own tea business and also sells their tea at very fair prices. I especially loved the noodles prepared by the mother. You can add freshly prepared spices according to your own taste. They also offer eggs, sweet potatoes, and corn, all served in a very hygienic and beautifully presented way. For breakfast, there were also other options such as cookies and fresh fruit, so nothing was missing. It was such a pleasure to return in the evening, enjoy a cup of tea with the owner, and chat with other guests. If you want to experience Bulang hospitality while still enjoying Western-level comfort and cleanliness, this is the perfect place.

This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Tea Horse Ancient City. Just a 100-meter walk downstairs brings you to the Bonfire Square, where you can watch and participate in evening dancing. A few steps further brings you to the Tea Horse Ancient City Night Market, where visitors can stroll, eat, and have fun. The rooms are spacious, bright, and clean, with a small balcony perfect for enjoying the view, tea, and conversation. The proprietress is dedicated, down-to-earth, hardworking, and warmly attentive.

A truly wonderful stay! The hotel's location is excellent and peaceful, making it super convenient for visiting all the nearby attractions. The room was incredibly clean and tidy, and the bedding was soft, comfortable, and spotless – I had a fantastic night's sleep. I especially want to commend the staff; everyone from the front desk to housekeeping was incredibly warm and attentive. They patiently answered all my questions. When I arrived, I had a bit of an upset stomach, and the owner immediately made me some brown sugar water, which was so touching! You can really feel the thoughtfulness in the hotel's details, even down to tissues in the elevator! I will definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Pu'er.

It's very convenient to get around. It's only about a 10-minute walk to Beigui Cafe to watch the sunrise. The rooftop platform has a great view with a panoramic vista of the beautiful scenery. The owner makes rice noodles every day with broth that she has cooked the day before as the base, which is very delicious.

Extremely satisfied! The place was clean and tidy, and the room was immaculate. The service was exceptional; it's rare to encounter such a wonderful owner who truly anticipates and addresses guests' needs. Absolutely fantastic! It's also quite close to the station, and the owner was very prompt with pick-up and drop-off, couldn't ask for more. Definitely a five-star review, highly recommend staying here. This is my genuine experience and feedback. Wishing the owner a thriving business!

Even though I only stayed for one night, it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The family running the hotel were incredibly welcoming, inviting me for Pu’er tea while checking in and while waiting for my Didi upon checkout. They also provided a safe space for me to store my luggage while I explored the nearby area post-check out. The hotel is perfectly located within the Ancient Tea Horse Road area, 1 minute away from the picturesque tea horse archway (the entry point for a beautiful tea plantation tourist area and the site for a daily dance performance at 19:30). The hotel has also teamed up with a local restaurant to provide a free breakfast coupon - it was fantastic local fare (a “make your own” dry noodle bar) and a very welcome start to a hot day. Suffice to say, if you’re looking for a hotel in Pu’er I highly recommend you stay here.

The hotel is all wooden decoration, parking is convenient, free tea and red dates and white fungus porridge at the front desk, very delicious. Breakfast is very Chinese, no fried eggs and bread, but the staple food and stir-fried vegetables are very good, and there are sugar water poached eggs. The bean paste bag quicksand bag is not prefabricated, and the milk should be prefabricated milk powder. Zhenyu County is very small, and you can walk to all parts of the county quickly from the hotel. In short, although it is marked with 2 diamonds, the room facilities and services have actually reached the standard of at least 3 diamond hotels. It is recommended that Trip.com re-rating as soon as possible.

All the reviews are true, but it’s not the wooden building that causes it.  Yes, it is very loud and you hear everyone. We’ve stayed in other fully wooden places, it’s worse here. Maybe not the wood but the guests are the problem. Loud Chinese people, walking the stairs with the heaviest pace you can imagine. Maybe help the other guests by hanging some warnings on the stairs: please be mindful for the other guests when walking to your room.  Also loud Chinese tourist on the square below. Not only while eating they scream all over the place, also with the tea ceremony nobody asks them to please stop talking after 23:00/24:00. We were up till 02:00AM because of tea drinking Chinese people at the fire. We stayed in the suite, which is located above the fire pit. Maybe the other rooms are less noisy. At 7AM each morning, somebody ran down the stairs. We think it’s the staff. It wakes you up through your earplugs.  The staff is OK. They are very shy, not rude. They could be more pro active though as we didn’t feel like they wanted to do something.. which is different to rude but also not very friendly.  The other villages around are way bigger and less cozy than Wengji. Also, with this guesthouse being just next to the town, it was perfect to escape the tourists most of the time. We didn’t find other accommodations in Wengji with the same aesthetics as Shishi guesthouse so we can’t recommend other places better than this. Maybe if the guesthouse would invest in trying to keep the noise down under the various guests, with text signs or with clearer house rules (fire pit), the noise problem wouldn’t be as bad.  Maybe if they tried to enthusiast their staff more and keep them from watching Chinese drama shows on their phones all day, they would be a bit more welcoming.  We’ve met a lot of amazing people in Wengji, it’s definitely not the locals that have this behaviour.  Lastly, the suite has a cubicle bathroom in the room, they really don’t clean this well. It smells very bad and just feels dirty all over.  For comfort this place is too expensive, for the location and aesthetics you won’t find better options nearby.
