This hotel is perfect for a slow-paced vacation, and I'm absolutely delighted! It's located right by the entrance to Longnv Lake, about a 15-minute walk to the commercial street – not too far, not too close, so it's nice and quiet. If you're lucky, you can even see the 'Golden Mountain in the Morning Sun' right from your bed. The exterior features typical local stone architecture, while the interior design is very stylish. There's also a lovely grassy area out back that's great for photos. The room layout is practical, and the mattress and pillows are super comfortable. If you're not rushing to see all the sights, the hotel offers plenty of activities to keep you busy for days, like hiking and fruit picking, horseback riding around the lake, and Naxi home visits. It's especially great for families with kids. The airport shuttle service is also very convenient. I have to commend the service; the staff are all incredibly warm and friendly. When we needed anything, the 'little brothers and sisters' (staff members) responded quickly and were very thoughtful in helping us solve problems. The performer, an 'older brother' (staff member), was also very dedicated – great at singing and dancing. He didn't miss a single toast song before dinner, and the bonfire party had a fantastic atmosphere. The hotel food is outstanding, with unlimited fruit and drinks. The afternoon tea, in particular, was very rich and varied. The restaurant's zhajiang mian (noodles with fried sauce) and yak hotpot were delicious, and for breakfast, we even had milk bird's nest and peach gum sweet soup – very thoughtful! I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Lijiang. I hope the hotel maintains its quality. Looking forward to the second phase, see you next time!

Environment: I had no idea I'd be able to see snow-capped mountains before I arrived! It's absolutely stunning here!! The weather has been fantastic these past few days! Service: When we arrived at the ancient town entrance in the evening, the hotel staff had a tuk-tuk 🛺 to help with our luggage 🧳. Cars aren't allowed inside the ancient town, so this service was very thoughtful 💕. Breakfast: The breakfast here is truly excellent!! For main courses, they offer specialty rice noodles and wontons, and even as a late riser, I went down at 10:00 AM and there was still plenty available! The portions are so generous they could double as lunch! Absolutely delicious! Room: The bed is so comfortable, I felt like sleeping the moment I lay down 💤! The front desk lady is also very lovely, her voice is so soft and sweet, and her service is very attentive!

My friend and I stumbled upon this hotel online, and after booking, it truly exceeded my expectations! It's right inside Lijiang Ancient Town! As soon as you step out, you're on cobblestone streets. You can walk to Sifang Street in just 5 minutes. After exploring the night market, you can just stroll back to the hotel – no need for a taxi at all, which makes you feel super safe 💯. 🏠 The facilities are unbelievably complete: * Smart toilet – Heated seat + automatic flush. No more freezing cold toilet seats in winter! * Central air conditioning + humidifier – The humidity here is just perfect. * Full set of toiletries – Not those cheap sample sizes! These are proper branded products, and they smell amazing. * 24-hour hot water + thermostatic shower – The water pressure is fantastic; showering here is pure bliss 🚿. * They called us the day before check-in to confirm our itinerary and even sent us a guide for exploring the ancient town 📋. * The front desk lady was incredibly sweet and upgraded us to a room with a view. * There's free afternoon tea every day, with flower cakes and Pu'er tea. Sitting in the courtyard soaking up the sun was so chill 🌸. * When checking out, they even gave us parting gifts (tie-dye and Pu'er tea cakes), which was a lovely touch. They also offer a free photography service, including makeup and styling, saving us the trouble of finding a photo studio ourselves!

Booked a three-room private courtyard for our family. The view from the rooms is absolutely stunning. This hotel truly lives up to its 'mini-Aman' reputation, boasting a charming antique style and top-tier room amenities. There are also plenty of free DIY activities for kids to enjoy. I highly, highly, highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a beautiful environment. The staff's service is also exceptional. Just a heads-up, the hotel is located inside the ancient town, so cars can't pull directly up to the entrance. However, the hotel staff will come out to help with luggage, and it's only a 5-6 minute walk, which isn't a problem at all. The hotel is just a two or three-minute walk from the Mu Family Mansion, truly in the heart of the ancient town. Thumbs up!

Navigation: The location is accurate, the hotel entrance is on the main road side, so you arrive at the hotel as soon as you get out of the car. Finally, no more dragging luggage over cobblestone streets! This location is a big plus! The hotel is near Zhongyi Market, so it's not in the absolute core of the old town, but it makes up for it with a great ambiance. Environment: The hotel isn't large overall, but the flow and layout are very well-planned. Check-in was simple and smooth. The entire hotel is built around the restaurant shown in picture four, and it's only two stories high at most. The overall design is minimalist but incorporates many classic Chinese retro elements, utilizing a lot of white space to blend nature and design seamlessly. Room: I booked the Tanyi - King Room. The room faces the restaurant, and on the first floor, it includes a small outdoor courtyard, as shown in picture one, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea in the afternoon and soaking in a relaxed vacation vibe. The room size is quite generous! This really surprised me, it's probably around 50 square meters. Upon entering, the bed is on the right, followed by an open double vanity, a separate shower room, and a toilet. The bathroom fixtures are from high-end brands like Kohler, and thoughtfully, they even provided a large bathtub as shown in picture 13. The hardware is also fully intelligent, with smart controls for room lighting and curtains. Overall, the hardware is excellent. The mini-bar thoughtfully includes their own brand of coffee beans and a complete set of pour-over coffee tools – no coffee capsule machine! For coffee lovers, this is truly heaven! Service: The hotel creates a group chat upon check-in, and all communication can happen there. The overall service level and attitude are of a high standard. They don't overly disturb guests but are immediately available to provide service and solutions when needed. What impressed me most was the laundry service. After the housekeeper thoughtfully took my clothes, even after they were washed in the middle of the night, they didn't rush to return them. Instead, they waited until I woke up, inquired about the clothes, and then quickly and thoughtfully placed them outside my door. It was truly excellent! The entire service is reflected in the details. The hotel restaurant and afternoon tea bar staff are also very enthusiastic; when I brought the complimentary coffee beans, they even thoughtfully brewed a delicious cup for me. Chance of revisiting: 90% The location is great, no need to drag luggage over cobblestone streets. Also, the hotel is not large, so my two-night stay was very quiet. The room's hardware is top-notch, from major brands, and the room was clean and tidy. The service, starting from the details, made me feel warm and welcome without being intrusive. The hotel is located near Zhongyi Market, which is great for experiencing snack stalls or the morning market – both are fun. The hotel also offers afternoon tea and some hands-on craft activities in the afternoon. Plus, there's a sika deer that you can photograph and feed around 4 PM. This hotel is really fantastic!

This stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The hotel lobby opens out to a huge lawn with direct views of the snow-capped mountains. The butler was incredibly welcoming and guided me every step of the way with a warm smile, even proactively recommending nearby hiking trails. The attention to detail was exceptional. The room itself was an even bigger surprise. Opening the window revealed a stunning green vista. The bedding was incredibly soft, like sinking into clouds. The bathroom's wet and dry areas were immaculately clean, and the toiletries had a lovely woody scent that I really enjoyed. They even provided their own branded merchandise as amenities, and the cube-shaped sofa was a fantastic touch. There was absolutely nothing to complain about throughout my entire stay. Both the facilities and the service details showed incredible thoughtfulness, and the breakfast spread was very generous.

Staying in the Jacuzzi Villa was an absolute delight! The Naxi-style courtyard was elegant and peaceful, and the private, temperature-controlled Jacuzzi was clean and comfortable. Soaking under the stars at night melted away all my travel fatigue. I must commend Elin, our butler, for her outstanding service. From coordinating before our arrival to her attentive care during our stay, she was always quick to respond to any needs. She was thoughtful and professional, never intrusive, which truly enhanced the relaxing vacation vibe. The facilities were excellent, and the service was an added bonus – a perfect Lijiang getaway! Highly recommended!

We had a pleasant stay overall, with several things that really stood out. The room was extremely spacious, with two king-sized beds and plenty of room to move around. It was comfortable and gave us ample space to relax. The dining area also offered gorgeous scenery, making meals much more enjoyable. The front desk staff were friendly, helpful and responsive. When we discovered some hair caught in the hair trap in the bathroom when we checked in, we reported it to the front desk. They immediately arranged for housekeeping to come and clean it. We were also pleasantly surprised when the front desk later delivered a dessert to our room as a gesture of goodwill. This was a nice example of prompt and thoughtful service recovery. Another small but memorable example of the front desk team's helpfulness happened after midnight. I had an issue with the dryer and needed to open it in the middle of its cycle, but could not figure out how to do so. Although it was already past midnight, the front desk staff patiently helped me troubleshoot the problem and guided me on how to open it. Her assistance quickly resolved the issue, and I really appreciated her willingness to help despite the late hour. Another lovely touch was the warm milk delivered to our room daily. We also enjoyed the complimentary afternoon tea, especially the beautiful dessert designed in the shape of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. These little touches made the stay feel special. Unfortunately, the restaurant experience at the hotel was a weak point. We went for dinner at around 9pm. After the staff seated us, they disappeared, and despite the restaurant being very large, there were no other wait staff in sight. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I eventually had to go looking for someone and tell him that we wanted to order. When we asked whether using DianPing or the hotel guest discount would offer better value for a particular meal we wanted to order, the staff member was unable to advise us. We had to work out the best option ourselves. While this may seem like a small matter, I would expect restaurant staff in a hotel to be familiar with the promotions and benefits available to guests and to be able to provide basic guidance. Things did not improve much after our mushroom hotpot was served. We were essentially left to figure out how to prepare and eat the hotpot ourselves, without any explanation or assistance from the restaurant staff. Based on our experience, they appeared to lack some basic training in customer service, attentiveness and product knowledge. The issue was not that they were unfriendly; rather, they seemed somewhat clueless and undertrained, which made the dining experience unnecessarily difficult. Overall, the hotel has many strengths — a wonderfully spacious room, beautiful scenery, friendly front desk staff and thoughtful guest amenities. The service recovery from the front desk was also impressive and showed that the hotel genuinely cares about its guests. However, the restaurant service needs significant improvement. Better staff training, stronger attentiveness and greater familiarity with the menu and hotel promotions would make a big difference. With those improvements, this could be a much more enjoyable and polished hotel experience.

If you're visiting Lijiang's Shuhe Ancient Town, you absolutely cannot miss the amazing Guanxin Inn! The environment here is beautiful, with lush greenery in the courtyard and fresh air that instantly helps you relax. The bedding in the rooms is exceptionally comfortable – a good night's sleep here will leave you feeling completely refreshed! The service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive; no matter what you need, they'll help you out, making you feel as warm and welcome as if you were at home. Step outside the inn and you can immediately experience the ancient town's unique charm and leisurely pace of life, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation and capturing some great photos! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and immersive experience of Lijiang's culture!

We had never stayed in a homestay before, but Yintang Museum • Snow Mountain Cliff Forest Oxygen Art Manor was so much more than just a hotel. It became one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Yunnan. From the moment we arrived, the owners and staff treated us like family. As first-time visitors to China who don’t speak Chinese, we were initially nervous, but the team made everything feel effortless and welcoming. They either spoke English with us or used a translation app, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They even set up a WeChat group with us so we could ask for recommendations, organise local excursions, or join activities at the hotel such as the sound bath and tea ceremony. After coming from the fast pace of Shanghai, this place felt incredibly peaceful and grounding. The location was perfect, close enough to walk straight into Shuhe Ancient Town without relying on DiDi, yet still quiet, relaxing, and surrounded by nature. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The design and interiors are elegant, with the owner’s artwork displayed throughout the property, which gives the whole place such a unique and magical atmosphere. It truly feels immersed in nature and has such a calming energy. The breakfast had a great variety, and we also ate at the restaurant in the evenings a few times. Everything was fresh and cooked on-site by the chefs. One day I wasn’t feeling well, and the staff kindly made me a simple plain porridge, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our room felt incredibly homely. The bed was secretly one of the most comfortable we slept in during our trip, the room stayed cool despite the warm weather, and the shower was powerful with everything kept spotless and clean. A very special thank you to Moony and all of her wonderful staff for making this such an unforgettable trip. Your kindness, warmth, and care made us feel safe and genuinely looked after during our first visit to China, and we will always remember it with gratitude. We honestly wish we had stayed longer. This place gave us not only comfort and relaxation, but also confidence and warmth during our first experience in China. We would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Lijiang.
