Homestays in Yunnan, China

It was a joy to wake up to the gorgeous view of ErHai offered by the bay window in our room, plus breakfast delivered to the door, each day. The room was clean, the hot water and water pressure were steady, and the bed was comfortable. Also really enjoyed using the tub by the window. Above all else, service was impeccable. The front desk was immensely helpful in providing advice for our plans on the day to day and very kindly helped to arrange for transport to our next stop at Lijiang. The only downsides are that it's a distance away from some of the popular tourist sites, but didi worked just fine for where we wanted to go. I believe the hotel will also help to book you a car if you need one. In all, my husband and I were really glad we chose to stay here and would be more than happy to return.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying one night at LISIMAN 丽思漫丨心宿·穹庐四野供氧庄园（香格里拉店）, and honestly, words alone cannot do this place justice. Surrounded by majestic mountains, wide open grasslands, and freely roaming animals, the setting is nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff (unfortunately, we didn’t catch their names after our long journey). Their hospitality was genuine and thoughtful — they introduced the room facilities thoroughly and even took the time to check in on our travel plans, offering to arrange transport to Shangri-La Railway Station the next morning for our onward journey to Kunming. We stayed on the 3rd floor, and the panoramic view from our room was simply stunning — lush green grasslands dotted with horses and cows as far as the eye could see. There was even a charming little white pony on the premises that made our hearts melt — so cute and incredibly friendly. The hotel also provided laundry service and an inviting high-tea session. Breakfast the next morning was a delightful spread featuring hearty local dishes, a lovely way to end our short but memorable stay. If time had allowed, we would’ve stayed much longer. This place is a rare gem — serene, soulful, and truly rejuvenating. We will definitely return. Until then, our warmest thanks to the entire team for making our stay so special.

It is really the best location in the scenic spot, the room is clean and tidy, the facilities are perfect, the service is considerate and thoughtful, it is very comfortable to sit on the terrace! The late autumn Puzhehei is very beautiful, and the transportation is very convenient. The advantage of off-season travel is that you can enjoy the entire lake, the whole mountain, and even the entire sky. The air here is particularly fresh! Recommended to our cycling team! Have the opportunity to come again!

A newly opened internet-famous homestay with a super good environment and an amazing lake view. It is said that every room has a lake view, which is suitable for internet celebrities to check in. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most beautiful homestay. The public area is large, suitable for vacation, relaxation and taking photos. The staff are also very enthusiastic. It feels like visiting a friend's home. The facilities and equipment are all international brands, and the price is super value and very cost-effective.

This inn and restaurant is so beautifully decorated. The artistry in the stone walls, walkways, plants, and cultural pieces is done tastefully and elegantly. We were very pleased with our one night stay after walking the Stone Forest for the day. It was a perfect days end and I suggest staying rather than boarding the bus. We walked the 1.8 km from the park ticket booth and bus area to this venue - easy to find (except that the pin on the map on Trip.com shows it on the opposite side of the road. Nevertheless, it was very easy to find from the pictures on the site by looking across the street.) We took the bus to Shilin and back to East Coach Station - super easy - 43 RMB each.

This hotel is a gem in Shaxi Town and should not be missed. We are happy to have had the opportunity to stay for 1 night, and only wished we had more days in Shaxi. The hotel is in a beautifully restored ancestral home, with rooms that are modern and beautifully appointed with a lot of thoughtful amenities provided. Breakfast and afternoon tea were delicious. The hotel staff from the ladies at the front desk to housekeeping were really friendly and helpful. They gave us recommendations on what to see and where to eat in Shaxi. We appreciated the extra touches such as having warm milk brought to our rooms as a nightcap. Special thanks to Yan Yan who took care of us on our last day and was also our teacher in the Jia Ma wood printing experience. We had a great time during the experience and left Shaxi with a special souvenir.

The main attraction of Duoyishu is to watch the sunrise over the terraced fields in the morning. Shengtian B&B is newly opened. I searched and booked it from Ctrip. The room I stayed in was clean and well-equipped. The room was very large and had an artistic atmosphere. A variety of Hani costumes were available for free. The key point is that the balcony of the room allows direct viewing of the sunrise over the terraced fields. The scenery is so beautiful. It is for your reference.

Hu Ke can be said to be the most surprising and satisfying destination of this trip to western Yunnan! Environment: Backed by Nushan Mountain, facing Nujiang River, sitting on ten thousand acres of coffee farmland, whether in the morning, daytime or night, it has the top visual enjoyment. It is not difficult to understand the starting point of cooperation between the two. Facilities: The hotel area and the cafe area are separated, which well guarantees the privacy of the guests staying in the hotel. The hotel hardware facilities are also online, and the overall presentation shows the characteristics of southwestern Yunnan, with a strong ethnic style. Hygiene: The hygiene is very good, in line with the hotel positioning. Service: The service is great, the service staff is well trained, warm and thoughtful, and makes people feel at home. The hotel's coffee needs no further explanation, and the food is even more surprising and delicious, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery while also feasting your mouth. In short, Hu Ke is a choice I am willing to visit again, and it is also an object worth learning for many so-called big-name hotels and resorts.

Impossible to find a better place in Jianshui. The rooms are located inside a historic stone and wood building that has been renovated respecting the culture of the place, creating very large rooms, in style, equipped with all possible technological comforts. The owner, Lawrence, speaks perfect English (a very rare thing to find in Jiuanshui), is a highly cultured person and can help you solve any type of problem as well as accompanying you on visits to the surroundings, making you enter the heart of Yunnan. It is the best place I have stayed in Yunnan, without a doubt. In this place I left my heart, respect and affection for Lawrence and all the staff.

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank the owner for the wonderful BBQ Doufu gathering they organized for all the guests. It was such a thoughtful and kind gesture, and it truly made our stay even more memorable. The effort they put into bringing everyone together, preparing the delicious food, and creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed. It was a joy to meet the other guests, share stories, and enjoy the fantastic BBQ Doufu in such a beautiful setting. Their hospitality and attention to detail made the evening truly special. This homestay is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience filled with warmth, care, and a sense of community. We are so grateful for the memories we’ve made here, and the BBQ gathering was the perfect highlight of our time. I will definitely recommend this homestay to others and hope to visit again in the future. Tan Wee Liang
