Dali · Shang'anli ★★★★★

📍 No. 26, Village Group 1, Xiahe Village, Haidong Town, Dali City

"The mountain view twin room with solid wood and marble accents was an exceptionally soothing experience. The room features solid wood furniture paired with marble finishes, creating a warm and elegant ambiance, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. Opening the window reveals a panoramic view of rolling mountains; sitting quietly by the window, the gentle mountain breeze instantly washes away the hustle and bustle. A special thank you to the housekeeper, Xiao Sun, for his warm and attentive service, always responding promptly and thoughtfully to my needs. The entire guesthouse exudes a refined and artistic atmosphere, with a comfortable layout and impeccable cleanliness. Spending leisurely moments gazing at the mountains and enjoying the rare tranquility made for an unforgettable mountain retreat, definitely worth a special trip back. A heartfelt recommendation!! They were incredibly thoughtful, even providing face masks and lip balm! Highly recommended, excellent value for money! Upon check-in, the hotel prepared a handwashing gift, and the flower cakes were delicious. Plus, taking photos at the hotel is truly photogenic."

"The room offers a wide, beautiful view. The owner's service was prompt and excellent. The soundproofing is good; despite being street-facing, it's not noisy. The location is convenient, with many dining options nearby. There's no elevator, but the owner can help carry luggage upstairs."

"The environment here is absolutely top-notch, with an incredible ambiance. It's so antique and picturesque, truly inspiring. The tea room also boasts a fantastic setting. And the breakfast? Super exquisite. I told my friends, if rice wasn't a factor, I'd stay here for a whole month! As for the service, the owner is incredibly warm and welcoming. They thoughtfully explained the local routes, kindly helped with our luggage, and even surprised us with a souvenir. This place is definitely highly recommended!"

Dali Molv Shanshe Smart Homestay ★★★★
"The room was spotless and very comfortable. It had a sleek, modern design, exactly my style. Smart controls added to the convenience. The room was also very spacious. Although it was a bit pricier than other places nearby, I found it to be absolutely worth it. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are: no power outlet under the desk, which made using a laptop a bit inconvenient, and no clothes rack in the bathroom. Opening the window revealed a mountain view, and outside the door were charming farmhouse landscapes – it was so peaceful and lovely. There were sunflowers right by the entrance. I especially want to commend the staff (both male and female) for their excellent service; calling it five-star service wouldn't be an exaggeration. They gave great travel recommendations, suggested places to eat, and offered comprehensive touring advice. Breakfast included coffee and tea, and there were even late-night snacks and bedtime desserts. I absolutely loved it. My younger sister really enjoyed playing with their dog. The large map at the entrance was fantastic – a direct guide to local attractions and activities."

Songyun Skyline Seaview Holiday Hotel ★★★★
"Choosing the Songyun Banshan Hotel for my Dali trip was an absolute treasure! The pure white cliffside architecture creates an incredible atmosphere, and the unobstructed hillside views offer panoramic vistas of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The infinity pool and cave cafe are perfect for stunning photoshopped-looking shots, and the hotel even provides a complimentary travel photoshoot. The rooms are clean and bright, with panoramic French windows and a viewing balcony. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the smart home features throughout the room are a thoughtful touch. Our butler, Allen, provided exceptional service throughout our stay, from handling our luggage to promptly responding to all our needs. The breakfast ingredients were fresh and delicious. It's a quiet and healing escape from the bustling city, perfect for couples or a girls' getaway. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Dali. Highly recommend!"

"A fantastic hotel. Compared to the ridiculously overpriced guesthouses in Haixi (priced around 2000 RMB), the service and facilities here are top-notch. Welcome fruit, evening sweet soup, a generous breakfast, and the convenient late check-out – everything is on par with a five-star hotel. Xiao Yang and the receptionist were incredibly polite, and the landlady was also warm and beautiful."

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel ★★★★★
"The hotel's overall landscape and environment are excellent, truly living up to the Lux* brand's reputation. The breakfast, in particular, was incredibly rich and varied. For those traveling with kids, the play area is amazing! It features three climbing frames and accompanying accessories from the Avdar brand, which is a rare find. It's also a safer alternative to ball pits, with less risk of infection. This definitely deserves a big thumbs up!"
