After each check-in, they also send a private message and post in a group chat, reminding guests not to eat in the rooms or leave belongings scattered around. As a result, the rooms are very clean and odor-free. Common spaces are tidied daily, keeping them very neat. 👍 Guests The guests staying here are also very well-behaved. It's incredibly quiet after 11 PM. 🤔 However 1. There are four floors, and no elevator. 2. The hot water supply can be a bit inconsistent. Overall, my experience was 5⭐️ Because the rooms are clean. There's heating; I even slept in a tank top at 7°C (45°F) in the room and wasn't cold. The rules are well enforced. It's very quiet at night, allowing for peaceful sleep.

"Wonderful place to stay, I love the vibe and energy of the hostel itself. I did not stay enough to enjoy to lovely activities and community but I absolutely reccommend this place. I stayed in 8 women room and I appreciated the cleanliness of the bed, bedsheet, locker etc. That is very important as it is the only space just for you. Bathroom was ok, I did not know it is mixed but I did not have any problem - and it was also clean. I like the option of the restaurant and free tea at the reception. Location is also great! Kunming is lovely and artsy town🫶"

"My friends and I stayed in Kunming for a week. Before planning our trip, I chose this hostel on Xiaohongshu. It's very close to Kunming Station, about a ten-minute walk, and easy to find with the directions provided by the owner. The owner is lovely, very gentle and soft-spoken. She was also quick to respond whenever I needed help finding something. My roommates were all pretty quiet; almost no one made any noise. The hostel's balcony is beautiful and cool, perfect for enjoying breakfast. Before coming to Kunming, the weather forecast said it would rain every day, but in reality, we had sunshine almost every day, with rain only in the evenings or early mornings. I highly recommend visiting!"

"The roommates are very friendly and quiet even after a little while at night. There are also roommates who work and live in the room. If there are any questions, they are available at any time. They also help to replenish toilet paper and do simple cleaning. There are many people who watch birds in Kunming. There are also many people who take pictures of birds. They will not occupy the position and not let people see them. They are also very friendly. After a few days of communication, we appreciated the rare chestnut heron, small cuckoo and chestnut kite together (very lucky, I saw it twice when I went there)"

"這家青旅自助入住的,很方便。老闆的提示很明確,衹要認字識圖都能看得懂入住流程! 出昆明北出口,走200米就到小區了,很方便。小區樓下很熱鬧,開各種小賣鋪,商品琳琅滿目,13元快餐隨便吃,各種甜點,炒飯,麪店都有… 就是網吧有點貴,大廳9元一小時…青年旅社要住4人間的星瀾房,乾淨,一室一衞。運氣好,可以一個人住一間,我運氣不錯,別的房間快滿了,我住的房就我一人,睡的很香甜。 先説好哈,客廳小,這家青旅男的星瀾房就很不錯,不過別的房間我就大體瞄了眼。八人間就算了,擁擠不説,碰到什麼人真不確定,多花十元住個舒適點。"

GGuest UserHow could the landlord be more handsome? the answer is too difficult .Because he is too perfect anyway. I have never seen such a stylish and delicate youth hotel with so many amazing design considerations. Such as the dinning hall and audition room and the doors .The doors can be folded in pieces .Every detail show the urbane taste of the landlord ,or you can say the ”boss ”. you may find more amazing details by yourself . Yong people like to take some fresh ideas of room design .But some details still need to be considered or altered such as my bed is half closed on my right side .There is only a drape between the third bed and mine. My glasses were incidentally dropped off on the ground .And the audition room is too exceptional ,i like it very much .

GGuest UserI stayed for two nights here in a four bed women dormitory. It is simple and you have all the services that you need : a kitchen, a washing machine, little food shops at the building's entrance and it's not far from the railway station. Also, hosts are wonderful !! They prepared a meal in the evening. We visited town together : they brought me to Kunming lake, street snacks, food market in the morning and a nice park. All that for free !! I highly recommend this homestay. Simple, not expensive and warm up. 😊🙌

The room hygiene was fine. There's a courtyard downstairs with some plants, so there were quite a few mosquitoes.

AAnonymous UserThe double-bubble pool is almost nowhere near the toilet, which is a bit uncomfortable. In fact, it doesn't matter if this toilet is not used, and the toilet next to it can be used. The advantage is that the water is unlimited and the water flow is also very strong. It is still okay to come here just to soak in the hot spring. If you have requirements for the environment, you should consider it carefully.

MMingyuA hotel with a very folk-style environment, it is relatively clean in a village, and behind it is the folk customs. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the village to Dianchi Lake.

In terms of the environment, it is very, very, very clean. There are volunteers cleaning every day. The boss said that the volunteers are very good in all aspects. Clean carefully. The bathroom is also very clean, white and bright with no peculiar smell! The roommates I met are all very friendly and quality people! When I traveled to Kunming this time, I felt a lot of goodwill and enthusiasm, and I ate a lot of delicious food. I want to cry when I think about leaving here and going back to a food desert. It’s so comfortable that I don’t even want to leave here! Thank you very much to the boss for giving me a particularly good experience of staying in a hostel! I’ll come back next time!
