Dali Ankangyu Homestay

the location couldn't be better and the house is BEAUTIIFUL! both staff and guests were incredibly friendly and welcoming! the only thing that bothered me was the toilet/shower situation. it is basically just a squat toilet with a showerhead! no place to hang my clothes/towel. and there is no toilet paper or bum gun so i always have to use the showerhead to keep clean... but besides that, lovely stay!

Home owners are all very frendly and helpful. There is 1 staff who can speak English so our check in procedures had no problems. They were suprised that we (foreigners) could find out their homestay. You can chat with them via wechat (weixin) for any help and check out. They support late check out if possible. The room meets our expectation for low budget travelers. Beautiful garden, friendly cats, a little bit old smell of old house but it does not affect our good experience. Thanks for the warm welcome!

While it’s an authentic space, there were some issues. No heat, no hot water, a trash bag tied to the ceiling to keep out leaks, and next door through thin walls there were cats locked in and meowing the whole time. There was a hot water tea kettle to use for a toweling down, and an electric blanket. But some of the lights didn’t work - flickering with shotty wiring, so I was afraid I would be electrocuted. Cracks in the windows let the cold air in. I like a little quaint ambience but I would never stay here again. Of course I only paid like $15.
