Yunqi Dali · Travel Photography Homestay (the upper section of Erhai S Bay Ecological Corridor)

The location is great if you want to have a relaxing time, the view is absolutely amazing. It is not the best for exploring nearby cities or getting a meal. Luckily the hotel has a restaurant, decently priced and cooked up pretty awesome dishes (steamed fish, stir fried shrimp vegetables). Direct view of sunrise, didi could stop right outside the hotel entrance and getting a didi was pretty easy. You could get down to Erhai Lake and walk around or rent a bike. The staff was so helpful, they helped get a taxi for me during arrival, greeted me at the door and always reply on wechat promptly. The only downside is that some of the amenities is wonky, like the bidet only works 50% of the time. Other than that great stay! Worth the price.

We had a really enjoyable stay in this place, the owner free upgrade us to more bigger rooms that has bigger tub, large room with balcony, this place has alot nice photo spots, we had complimentary drinks that is so good once when we back to the stay, the screen projector little cinema also really a bonus point as you can watch movie on the bed and enjoy the big screen 🥰 .very good free breakfast in the morning 😀

The location is right by Erhai Lake, but on the secluded side. This may be ideal for some, but wasn’t quite what we were looking for. Leading up to our stay here, the staff was helpful in arranging a driver to pick us up and take us to the hotel. There is some remodeling and light construction being done on the grounds, which may take away from the hotel’s ability to receive customers in the fashion that one would like to be welcomed. The check-in process was a bit lengthy as it is done at the hotel’s former location, which is about 400 meters away. After checking-in, going to the new location, and being let into our rooms we noticed there was only one towel in the room which was to host a party of two. Although we arrived fairly late as our train was delayed that night, there was no one to bring another fresh towel. Upon going to the reception hall, I noticed no one was present. There isn’t any staff that remains at the hotel overnight. On top of this, the gates are locked at night, so you cannot leave until the gates are opened again in the morning. The hotel has the potential to be a great place to take nice pictures for those who are interested in that kind of thing, but this can only be possible once they complete the remaining construction work there. Customer service needs to be improved. We wouldn’t stay here again.
