Guest UserAn unexpected delight during our Yunnan trip!
We made a last-minute decision to visit Lugu Lake. After seeing reviews mentioning cats (which my kids love), we booked this place without much further thought.
To our surprise, the children absolutely adored it, and we adults found it incredibly relaxing too.
The staff were so kind and helpful to the little ones, and the convenient pick-up/drop-off service made getting around effortless.
Even on a rainy day, the kids had a blast participating in the guesthouse activities!
We even hiked up the back mountain to forage for mushrooms – so much fun!
The overall decor perfectly complements the stunning scenery of Lugu Lake; it's a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
I've stayed in many expensive guesthouses, but this is the only one I genuinely feel offered excellent value for money.
From the hardware (scenery, decor, facilities) to the software (service, experience), everything was top-notch.
We regretted not arriving sooner and wished we could have stayed an extra two days. Just relaxing at the guesthouse, strolling around, or enjoying a drink on the terrace with the view – it was all incredibly comfortable.
It's perfect for a few friends to gather, unwind, and clear their minds.
One last thing: the breakfast was quite rich, especially the Western options. My two kids were fighting over it and even wanted to order more after finishing! Unfortunately, portions are prepared in advance, so if your kids are big eaters, I recommend ordering an extra portion in advance. 😂😂😂
If I get the chance, I'll definitely come back with friends for another vacation.
A million recommendations!!!!

Anonymous UserAuthentic lake view room, with a super comfy balcony! The room was incredibly spacious! The bedding and all facilities were spotless. They also provided a complimentary afternoon tea, and it was a proper one – milk, rose tea, biscuits, dried fruits, and more. All the staff were very friendly, and they have their own parking lot, which is great for those driving. If I ever go back to Lugu Lake, I'd definitely choose this place again!

A perfect experience where the scenery is healing, and the details and service warm your heart.
The azure winter of Lugu Lake is captivating, and the reminiscing about mountains and seas turns this captivation into a truly warm memory. It offers more than just a place to stay; it's a complete sense of ease and joy from being thoroughly cared for.
The room's view is unbeatable. The tranquil blue hues of the lake in winter are like a dynamic painting. The room design is clever and well-arranged, and the screened windows ensure a perfect balance of ventilation and comfort, with no stuffiness at all.
The complimentary room upgrade upon check-in was already a pleasant surprise. Even more remarkable was the staff's enthusiastic and attentive service, constantly going up and down to serve me, whether I was on the room's balcony or enjoying the lavish afternoon tea in the common area.
The manager is knowledgeable and talkative, making conversations enjoyable. The other staff members are also genuinely warm and not overly so, making interactions feel very natural.
The main meals were stunning: The boiled beef slices and crispy potato patties for dinner were authentic and flavorful, incredibly satisfying.
The afternoon tea was abundant: The afternoon tea pastries were unexpectedly generous, and enjoying them with the lake view significantly enhanced the sense of leisure.
The bedding comfort is exceptionally high. The mattress and pillows were so comfortable that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. What touched me the most was that the guesthouse thoughtfully provided steam eye masks—because the lakeside sun is strong during the day, wearing them at night was incredibly soothing for my eyes. This detail truly 'saved my life'! They really started from the guest's actual experience.

Guest UserI chose the Zaojian Hotel for my trip to Lugu Lake this time, and my stay was incredibly satisfying, earning a five-star review! The hotel's public areas are beautifully designed and elegantly furnished, with cozy corners everywhere perfect for relaxing and taking photos. Sitting in the common areas, you can quietly soak in the atmosphere of Lugu Lake, feeling completely at ease and relaxed.
The breakfast was also a pleasant surprise – fresh ingredients, a wide variety of choices, authentic flavors, and even local specialties. I especially want to commend our housekeeper, Dolma. Her service was meticulous and thoughtful, following up with us throughout our stay, both before and after check-in. She was quick to respond to any requests and treated us with warmth and hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcomed.
The guest rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a peaceful, healing atmosphere. Compared to other accommodations around the lake, this place wasn't noisy at all, and the service was genuine and not perfunctory. I highly recommend this hotel for a vacation to Lugu Lake; I'll definitely choose Zaojian again next time.

The room was very spacious and clean, with excellent amenities including a smart toilet, hairdryer, kettle, and disposable toilet seat covers, making our stay very comfortable. It even came equipped with a washing machine and dryer, which was perfect as we were able to wash all our clothes during our two-day stay at Lugu Lake.
The bedding was incredibly comfortable. The pillows for resting our heads were just the right height, and the soft bolster pillows were very plush. It was truly Atour-level quality, excellent! The toiletries were also great. My family is always concerned about hotel hygiene, but here we felt completely at ease sleeping without needing to use our own disposable bedding.
The guesthouse's location is superb, very close to Lugu Lake. We could just walk through the courtyard straight to the lakeside, which was incredibly convenient for watching the sunrise in the morning and taking a stroll in the evening.
The hotel service was exceptionally thoughtful. The afternoon tea was delicious with a generous selection of pastries, and they were happy to bring more if we requested. They also offered pick-up and drop-off services with a very nice vehicle, and helped with our luggage. The service attitude was truly outstanding.

Guest UserThe lake view is absolutely stunning! Breakfast was served promptly and was very tasty. Taking a hot spring bath was particularly comfortable – pure bliss! We booked rooms with private hot tubs for both nights, which was incredibly relaxing. The place was also very clean. Plus, there's a street full of eateries right out the back door, making it super convenient to stay here in Daluoshui Village.

Guest UserThis hotel offers great value for money. From the third-floor balcony, you can enjoy views of Mount Gemu Goddess and the lake. The illuminated landscape pool in the courtyard at night is truly beautiful. Small to medium-sized dogs can stay for free.
The location is excellent, very close to Sanjiacun Pier and various restaurants. Navigation is clear, and having a parking lot within the hotel premises is very convenient.
The bedding is clean, and the floors are tidy. It's thoughtful that you can arrange for housekeeping after you wake up (though it would be even better if the auntie didn't knock on the door in the morning!).
The front desk staff are very diligent. They followed a professional script during check-in and informed me in advance that although my reserved room met my orientation request, it only offered a courtyard view. However, the upgraded lake view rooms face east and north. They were also very responsive throughout my stay.
The whole house features intelligent XiaoDu smart home devices and comprehensive energy facilities, including accessible amenities. What's truly commendable is that all the bathrooms are equipped with TOTO products, and they've invested heavily in TOTO's own Washlets – this was the most comfortable toilet experience during my trip west.
The landscape pool and the Zen-inspired interior design are quite comfortable, but the sound insulation is just average (-0.2). Breakfast is provided, but I didn't eat it, so I can't comment.
Late check-out available (+0.5). Room upgrade received (+0.5). Laundry room available (+0.5). The landscape pool and courtyard are big plusses (+0.5).
No deductions so far.

Posted on Aug 1, 2024|Deluxe Smart Room - Mountain-View (Double Bed) (Air Conditioner, Bathroom)
Guest UserAnother absolute gem in Yunnan. The price is relatively affordable and all you get for it is totally worth it. The views outward the hotel lobby is stunning and the decor of the interior is very cozy and fitting. You have a full view of the lake from the front unobstructed.
Rooms have everything basic and more. Relatively spacious and decorated very extensively, cozy and comfortable setting and bed. Nice setup in the bathroom area and shower is spacious. Toilet with automated bidet is also nice. For those who like bathing there is a bath with mountainside views and bath salts/supplies given.
The AI and automated curtains add a nice touch, though this one is more primitive than xiaodu.
Staff were very kind and helpful,offered to drop me off at the bus stop and served dessert at night.

The hotel boasts excellent design, and the staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making you feel right at home! Our room had a breathtaking view of Lugu Lake; we could open the window and see it, and it was just a short walk to the lakeside where we could even take a 'pig trough boat.' The owner is a local Mosuo person, very polite and hospitable. We also got to visit their unique grandmother's house. Getting to Mount Gemu Goddess was also very convenient, and we even asked the owner for travel tips. The cleanliness was exceptional, truly a five-star cleaning experience. There wasn't a speck of dust anywhere, the glass was sparkling clean without any fingerprints. The bathroom fixtures were TOTO brand, and the bedding was high-end and very comfortable! The breakfast was delicious and exquisite!
The morning mist over Lugu Lake is truly beautiful!
I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Originally we wanted to stay in Dashuoshui. After arriving at Lugu Lake, we went to Dashui for a walk. It was too noisy for us. Sanjia Village is a good choice, with convenient transportation and quietness amidst the bustle. We visited the B&B first and then made a reservation. The rooms were no different from the ones advertised in the pictures. The facilities were complete and clean. The projectors and smart toilets all worked well. The boss was very nice. He chatted with us, recommended places to play, and protected us from lightning. They also turned on the air conditioner for us in advance, which was very considerate. You can see the lake when you open the curtains in the room. The view from the B&B is very good. The breakfast is very rich, much better than what we spent 15 yuan to eat outside. Not only is the view of the lake great, there is also a wetland park outside which is great for walking. There is also a kitten in the store who is very friendly and cute.
