Designed with local architectural features, Lijiang Gui Yuan Tian Ju Guest house features an ideal location and classy guestrooms. Free WiFi access is available throughout the entire hotel.

I want to highlight that the owner's kindness and assistance is the real highlight of our trip. The place itself is a very authentic old Chinese house in an amazing location. The accommodation is tucked away in a quiet area, with quick access to main areas of ancient town. On our second day there was unexpected work at the neighbouring property. It was very loud. The owner upgraded our room to be away from the noise. This happened without us asking. He was very considerate and kind, provided us with advice on how to access the sites we would like to visit. There was washing machine and dryer, which is great for us as a family of five. I was able to keep up with my laundry. Location 10/10 Service 10/10 However, note that the property is outdated and needs a deep clean and renovation. It is an old house. The bedding, sink, toilet and towels were very clean. However the bathrooms were outdated and needed deep clean.

Featuring inner courtyard views, Maple Leaf Inn in Lijiang features accommodations and a garden.

I had a lovely stay here - my stay in Shuhe has been very memorable because of maple leaf’s hospitality! First of all big thanks to the amazing sally and Ana who made my stay so memorable with their kindness, smiles, and help! The location is perfect; close to where you can get dropped off by bus/taxi and just on the edge of the hustle and bustle of the ancient town. I was there when it was cold but the room was cozy enough with a heater and electric blanket. Good food options within walking distance. Also make sure to try their delicious (dried) apples :)

    Merry is a very responsive host that tries to fulfil our travel requirements. She helped to arrange value for money airport transfers and local tours (we went fo a day tour Shangri-la and visit most tourist spots along the way). It is such an experience staying in a traditional village guesthouse which is next to Zhongyi market with more than 100 shops and stalls. Near to bus stop to places of interest. We took Bus #101 straight to Yulong Snow Mountain resort for RMB15 one-way and pay our own entrance fee, etc. Very very convenient..

    Amazing guesthouse, one of my favourite stays of all time. Great location and beautiful courtyard with spacious rooms, but what made it particularly special was the hospitality. From Zhang Xueping getting up early to prepare us breakfast every day, even with some extras for the hike, to Joye preparing all details of our hike to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, they went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and we would go back to this guesthouse just to see them again! The malamutes were the cherry on top!

    Great feel at the hotel, like staying with a family. They are very welcoming and joye was a wonderful host. Loves a good chat in English. The rooms were traditional wooden decor rooms but with with very modern facilities! Perfectly located in the slightly quieter but only slightly 😆 part of the ancient town. Lots of shops and facilities around you, close to the South Gate around 7 minutes walk. Masjid nearby and enough halal options

    The location in a quiet alley in the old town is perfect. There are flowers everywhere and the guesthouse looks so beautiful. You are in a different World, almost like in a movie. The staff is very kind and helpfull. They came to meet is and sent is of again early in the morning to catch a train to Dali so we did not had to carry our luggage in the old town and would not get lost. Is was very easy and friendly communicating with the staff.

    Good value for money. This guesthouse is really a hidden gem, it's in a quiet lane of the old town. What makes me love gegewu is the support provided by the little staff. She helped book trips and was always available to provide any needed help.. One night when I came back she brought me a cake. in addition, it really warmed my heart. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated in a traditional style. I highly recommend this guest house.
