Apart from free water, there are no food or beverages available. It is a short walk to good local noodle shops, but bakeries and coffee chops seem to open later than breakfast time!

Good quiet location, although cannot be dropped, or picked up there by car. We were helped to rent eBikes and find a car with driver. There is a washing machine which can be used. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.

a little pricey.

The host is expectional and will go all her way out to help no matter when. She's super kind and friendly. Speaks a bit of English and we maninly use transalator so to ensure communication is right.

Not really a complaint, but you'll need a bit of luck to find the entrance. Walk down 平等东路 (east) until you think you're on the wrong track, and then you'll see the square yellow sign 不羡山。

Perfect. Quiet and peaceful in the middle of bustling Dali Ancient Town. Room was nicer than most apartments! Contained within a courtyard wall are small outdoor seating areas and a rooftop laundry room. Close to North Gate, this place is a perfect base for exploring all of Ancient City as well as trekking further afield to Chongshen Si and San Ta (about half an hour walk). Scores of restaurants within seconds of walking out of the alley. Staff is exceptionally warm and helpful. The manager has tons of advice for exploring Dali as well as nearby environs.

Nothing. We love the peaceful environment it offered.

Its location nestled in a little lane was perfect for my sister and I, whom prefer the quiet and enjoy walking around the old town. This guesthouse is steps away from many eateries (yummy local dishes!) and within walking distance to the local market (where we bought lots of fresh fruits). The manager Xiao Huang was very helpful in arranging transportation for us and suggesting places to dine and visit; thank you!

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 :)

Everything is perfect!

The host are really nice people, who go an extra mile to take care of their customers! The room that I booked is simply perfect, with a jaccuzi and tea drinking corner inside! Every corner is meticulously designed to meet the customer needs, very cozy and beautiful!

- 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!
