    I had an absolutely amazing stay in this beautiful guesthouse, especially thanks to kind English-speaking girls in the staff. I got sick and the owner kindly went with me to the hospital and translated everything for me. I truly feel so lucky as it's rare to find English speakers in this region. Thank you so much for your kindness and help!! The room is also very beautifully decorated and has all the amenities needed. The location is great. I highly recommend it!

    Very cosy and quiet guesthouse. The staff, Miss Young was very helpful even though we communicated using the translator app. We arrived late at Dali train station and she arranged for a taxi to pick us up and waited by the roadside to bring us to the guesthouse. She even helped book our taxi to the train station again. Keep up the good work.

    Need to pull our luggage over cobbled streets around the property (not accessible to cars) from the main road. However, not too bad as it is only a short distance to walk.

    Property is located just at the edge of Dali Ancient City. Just a short walk to the shops, eateries, amenities and places where tourists visit within the ancient city. Very convenient, yet away from the crowd. Got to experience a stay within an ancient property for the old vibe (renovated and functional). The receptionist is very helpful, and even helped us to carry our luggage up to the upper floor room. All rooms are large with spacious beds

    Dali Buxianshan Boutique Guesthouse is a true gem. Located in the old town, it’s a short walk to everywhere. We had good night sleep here, as it was peaceful at night. We rented electric motorcycle to go around the old town. We also enjoyed the free laundry and hung dry our clothes on the roof-top. The service is excellent. We just used translation app for the language barriers.

    The guesthouse is hidden and would definitely need a map navigation to locate. But you can always ask the host's help to navigate there so don't worry!

    We enjoyed our stay here :) The guesthouse is located about a 10 - 15 minutes walk from Dali Old Town so its away from the bustling crowd and activities, because of that we got a very nice and peaceful neighbourhood area where we can relax after a whole day of exploration. The host is very friendly and helpful! She recommended great food places and attractions. Shoutout to the host's cute dog Meiya! Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed our short 2 day stay. Would recommend this guesthouse for travellers looking for a relaxing short stay around Dali Old Town :)

    - Not enough light in the room during the night. We had 5 rooms and there was only one light bulb in a family room that was bright enough for reading. - The room with jacuzzi is super big and well-designed, but we didn't use the jacuzzi because the hot water was always yellowish. - (Also the room with jacuzzi) In the bathroom, the power outlet was broken, the two modes of "warm wind" not working well, it was quite cold when taking a shower. - The small garden is very beautiful with a lot of plants, a tiny pond and fishes, but the chairs are all a bit dirty.

    - I love the decoration of the room and the garden, tranditional chinese style, very chic. - The staff is very nice and helpful! - The location is pretty quite. - There is a very good live house 800m away. (花房姑娘)

    It was perfect. I'm usually skeptical when there's a place with a 10/10 rating, but this one definitely deserved it! Not only is the room itself spacious, clean and beautiful, it has a really good view through the surrounding windows (don't worry, there are blinds everywhere if you want to close it off) Situated next to the old town is a blessing as it's too touristy there, but close enough to walk in it, if you want to. The hostess is fantastic! She is just a very nice, open and communicative person who makes the stay more than pleasant. Not only did she offer homemade food to try, but added us on WeChat to give us tips throughout the day. Simply a great place to stay, you won't regret it!

    Some dust in visible areas, not really a problem but not a great impression. Windows not closing completely, again not a problem since the weather was nice and there was no noise from outside, but not great looking. I guess it can be worse in hotter or colder season.

    The hotel is in a small side alley, with no car traffic, so it's very peaceful. It's also just a few minutes away from the pedestrian zone, and close to many restaurants and shops. Room was large, and despite some weird furniture arrangement it was comfortable enough. Bathroom is without a separated shower, so it can get a bit flooded but it does dry surprisingly fast: personally I don't love it, but I even I could live with that. Staff very young and possibly not very experienced, but helpful, kind, and smily. Just a bit of english spoken, but the translation apps helped. Keep it up :) Free washing machine available on the rooftop. Lovely house dog!

    Just as in all other properties in Dali, hot water depends on solar energy. But there is still some hot water in cloudy days.

    We stayed at the room with a spa bath and it was such a pleasure. There are not many properties like this in Dali, and this one is located just in the ancient town, which is perfect and cozy. The interior of the hotel matches the turn style, the area is super quiet and peaceful. Also the mountain is visible from the window (and from the bathtub) Highly recommended!

    The water pressure was quite low. General maintenance could be better.

    The owner was really helpful before and during our stay, very responsive and informative. The property is well equipped, rooms have heaters in the bedroom and bathroom. It also provides washing machine and detergent powder for free. Each room is different and has a different style. Very quiet.
