The journey from the railway station to the nearest bus stop was all good but dragging big luggage to cross that busy G214 main road with metal obstacles at the pedestrian crossing was only the first challenge. Pulling the luggage uphill to look for the B&B was a great cardio exercise, if you think positively. As mentioned, the host can pick you up at the bus stop and save you the troubles.

Although the location is a little hard to find, the host can pick the guests up from the nearest bus stop (wish we knew that), which isn't really near. It's not too far a walk to the ancient town and there are eateries, convenient stores and electric bike rentals nearby. The host and hostess are friendly and helpful. We loved our tatami + futons style beds and spacious room and toilet. Hot shower is great. The kettle in the room is in good condition. Wifi is strong and fast (in China standard). Guests can use their washing machine and roof top space to hang laundry.

The shower floods the bathroom floor but was not a major inconvenience for us. Worth bearing in mind that there was no food service when we were there but there are a number of eateries nearby for breakfast and dinner.

Lovely place to stay in the hills just outside Dali Ancient Town. The place is rustic but clean and our host very friendly. Even though the staff didn’t speak English they helped to communicate via translation apps. The place has an amazing view of the mountains and lake from the rooftop and they also have a washing machine you can use free of charge. Overall the price is very reasonable.

Location was great, about 7 mins walk to Dali ancient town. Electric bikes rental available for going around Erhai Lake. Hosts were very friendly and hospitable. We had breakfast included in our booking so we were served hearty local fare such as millet porridge, eggs, dumplings and meat buns. Room was clean and comfy. Highly recommended!

The owners were welcoming and cooked for me and made me feel at home! Will definitely be back if I'm back in Dali. Plus the location is away from the main roads and near Cangshan mountain and beautiful views!

Although it was advertised mastercard and visa accepted, my UK cards didn't work, so I had to pay 5 nights in cash, which used up all my spare cash and wasn't convenient. I raised the issue with Booking.com but didn't receive a reply yet-about 3 days ago, instead of 24 hours as advertised.

Although it's called Monster B & B, there was no breakfast, so we cooked our own, plus got stuff from nearby cafe/ The owner was very helpful carrying our suitcases up two flights. It was a reasonable walk down to the old city, about 15 minutes. The room was very clean and new looking.

-the location is close to Dali ancient city, so it’s very convenient but not noisy, and you can find mini supermarket, restaurants and places to rent E-bike to drive around Erhai Lake -the host Mr. Gao, Ms. Wu, their staff and their two cats are very friendly and always willing to help and know your stories. Plus Ms. Wu cooks very well;) -the room is very clean and big -they offer self service free laundry on the rooftop where you also can watch sunrise and sunset -they have free fruits and tea to share with everyone

This family is amazingly welcoming. The breakfast was excellent and generous, i loved discover some special food from dali, we felt like eating at home. We definitely will be back to this place 100%. The room is spacious with good light and clean. The bed is comfortable and we appreciated the electric blanket. The room have a good wifi. The location is perfect for visiting the old town and the three pagodas. The place is in quiet small street.

Happy with everything.

I was very happy to stay here on my trip to Dali. The guest house is conveniently located within walking distance between the old town and Cangshan Mountain. It is also within walking distance of the Three Pagodas. The rooms are nice and very comfortable. Some rooms have great views down to Erhai Lake and the mountains. The breakfasts provided are huge! I am usually a big eater but I couldn't finish all the food. The big highlight for me was the staff. They were all vwry kind and cheerful. I very much enjoyed my stay here and would be happy to stay here again.
