The room was very spacious and well-equipped.
The decor and design were fantastic. The renovation of the historic building is quite unique, and the courtyard is breathtaking.
The housekeeping service was excellent, and any requests were promptly addressed.
The breakfast was also delicious, featuring some unique dishes.
I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yunnan.

Originally, I'd planned to stay three nights in the Stargazer room, but unfortunately, it was only available for one night, so we had to switch to a different room type for the remaining two nights. The design of this Stargazer room is truly unique; my child absolutely loved the little tent and the soaking tub inside, and didn't want to leave. I had to promise him we'd come back next holiday.
I booked this hotel based on the great reviews, and I wasn't disappointed! The breakfast was fantastic; both my child and my mother were incredibly satisfied 👍. The front desk lady was super warm and helpful, even recommending places to eat and things to do. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was very quiet at night. Our whole family slept wonderfully. We'll definitely bring the kids back to stay in a Stargazer room next holiday!

This guesthouse was one of the accommodations I was most looking forward to during my trip to Dali, and I'm so glad it met my expectations! I didn't do much research before booking; I just stumbled upon a recommendation on a social media platform, and the view looked so amazing that I booked it right away. First, let's talk about the location. Since I didn't read up much beforehand, I only realized upon arrival that there are very few dining options nearby – almost no restaurants at all. Luckily, we had rented a car, which made things a bit easier. The owner is incredibly thoughtful and provides excellent service, helping with luggage and giving great recommendations. The resident cat, Saipan, is a bit aloof but very good-tempered; you can pet him all you want. It's a shame I only stayed for a short time. The view from this room type is fantastic, and in the evening, with the lights on, it feels so warm and cozy. I hope to come back and stay for a few days next time when I'm not in a hurry. Oh, and the room is also super photogenic!

The room was very clean and had a beautiful, direct view of Erhai Lake. The guesthouse is also in a great location, just a minute or two's walk from Yang Liping's house. The owner helped us with our luggage when we arrived and left. They were very enthusiastic, even helping us set up for photos, and the recommended restaurants were delicious. My only small issue was a communication gap regarding breakfast; on the second day, a different owner was there and didn't know we needed to leave early.

The hotel offers a fantastic view, especially from the rooftop common area where you can see the beautiful Erhai Lake – perfect for photos. The owner is incredibly thoughtful; they offer a pick-up service, and even reimbursed our taxi fare when we arrived. On the second morning, they brought breakfast directly to our room at 10 AM since we hadn't gotten up yet. We enjoyed breakfast in the room while watching squirrels hopping outside – the environment is truly wonderful. The owner also runs a tea business and even gave us some tea as a souvenir when we left. They truly made us feel at home.

AramiRexWe stayed here from 12–15 May during our honeymoon and decided to do our Yunnan trip entirely on our own. Dali was our first destination after landing in Kunming the night before, and it turned out to be the perfect start to our journey.
Since our train arrived early at around 9:00 AM, I contacted the host a few days in advance to ask if an early check-in would be possible. Not only were they happy to accommodate our request, but they also kindly offered to pick us up from the station. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our host, Mei, who gave us a tour of the property after check-in.
The hotel exceeded our expectations. The architecture is absolutely stunning, from the outside, it feels like staying in a beautiful traditional palace within the old town, while the interior is thoughtfully modernized with every comfort you could need. Our room was incredibly spacious, and we especially loved the heated bathroom floors and the bidet, which was a pleasant surprise. There is also a rooftop area where guests can enjoy a beautiful sunrise view.
Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. Guests are given several options, and parts of the menu change daily, which kept things interesting. What we looked forward to most every morning was the amazing yogurt served with homemade rose jam, it was honestly the best we've ever had. We mentioned how much we loved it, and at the end of our stay, Mei surprised us with a jar to take home. Such a thoughtful gesture!
Every evening, the hotel served a warm dessert, introducing us to flavors that were completely new yet delicious. We were also treated to a complimentary afternoon tea. To make our honeymoon even more special, Mei and her team surprised us with a personalized cake, which was incredibly touching.
The location is very convenient, with several Muslim-friendly eateries within a 10-minute walk, as well as convenience stores nearby.
What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality. Out of all the accommodations we stayed at during our Yunnan trip, this was by far the best. Mei went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, constantly sharing recommendations, travel tips, and local insights to help us make the most of our time in Dali. We genuinely felt cared for throughout our stay.
I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for honeymooners and newlyweds looking for a memorable and heartfelt experience. InsyaAllah, we will definitely return on our future trips to Dali.

We had a really great stay at Yunduan Nashe Homestay. Honestly everything was just smooth and comfortable from start to finish. The place is beautiful, clean, and the view is super nice – especially if you’re looking for a relaxing vibe.The room was well prepared, cozy, and felt very welcoming.
Overall, no complaints at all. Everything was great and I would definitely stay here again if I come back. Highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable stay

Guest UserThis was an absolutely fantastic homestay experience. I've stayed in other places where the photos looked great, but the reality was a huge disappointment. So I didn't have high expectations this time, but wow, was I surprised! Could a homestay actually look as good as its pictures? Was the 'butler service' more than just a slogan? And could a room really be this beautiful without a wide-angle lens? This time, I truly experienced it all. If I had to nitpick, I'd suggest the host add a few more hooks in the room. Other than that, there's nothing else to say. If you're reading reviews and researching accommodations, go ahead and book this place with confidence – you won't be disappointed!

Guest UserBlindly picked Vanso with a friend and it turned out to be a hidden gem! The small courtyard with its lush greenery is lovely, just like having your own backyard. Perfect for relaxing, sipping coffee, and chatting. The decor is simple and gentle, the bath amenities are high-quality, and every corner is spotlessly clean. The concierge staff are incredibly friendly and approachable; they patiently gave us recommendations for local food and must-visit spots, and were always available when we needed anything. We spent a whole day holed up in our room, enjoying the peace and quiet. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and we even got a sweet treat in the evening. The value for money far exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Dali.
