Coco, who manages the place, is about as good a host as you could hope for. When I had to get to the airport super late, Meng helped arrange a reasonably priced taxi. What a rockstar. The hostel itself is beautiful, built in the classical Dali style, with a pool table and delicious drinks.

I rented bikes there for 30 rmb. The gears weren’t working that well, but you don’t really need a perfect bike to visit the villages. The owners were really friendly and spoke English perfectly.

Good value, and the location is okay.

After traveling since last year, this is the first hotel experience I've found this bizarre and awful. I booked online about two weeks ahead, and the hotel confirmed the reservation without contacting me. When I arrived with my backpack around 3 PM, they said they had no rooms because they were renovating. They offered either to move me to a different room for extra money or to get a refund through the booking platform. Other platforms still appeared to show rooms available, so I don't understand why my confirmed booking was accepted. They said they didn't have my phone number and would email me to confirm, which also makes me wonder why they hadn't contacted me earlier. They spoke only English to me at first. When I said I was Chinese, they said they had to check something. Do they only take foreign guests? The owner's manner was so poor, like it made no difference whether I stayed or not. It was raining, and they didn't even offer me a place to sit while I waited. I stood half-soaked under the eaves on the street corner, trying to get the platform's customer service to refund me. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

The common areas are comfortable, the owner is friendly, and the location is good.
