The location is excellent, so near to the main street of the old town, yet is quietly tucked in a little alley away from the hustle and bustle. It is a new place so I like that everything is clean and new. The room is so spacious and comfortable and the yard is so inviting to just sit and chill with the hosts and other guests. Stayed in many different types of accommodation as I traveled, but this is a stay that is home away from home for me especially when I’m staying for 8 nights. The breakfast is simple and homely, a warm bowl of goodness freshly prepared when you want it. And when I want a change coz don’t want to keep repeating the same for 8 days, they were so accommodating. I think the warmth experienced from this stay might have made me fall more in love with this town. I truly appreciate the service from the heart, and I guessed that is what made the stay so unforgettable.

Service: There is nothing to complain about. The boss and his wife met us outside and helped us carry our luggage back to the B&B and even moved it upstairs. Thank you very much. He kept inviting us to drink tea, but unfortunately I couldn't drink because of my stomachache. The boss lady also cares when I have a stomachache Location: In the old town, near the old bridge (I forgot the name) Room: Very clean. The floor heating is very warm and there is also heating in the bathroom, a lifesaver for those who are afraid of the cold. The bed is also very comfortable, but the pillow is a bit too high. Overall: It would be perfect if there were cats and dogs. A highly recommended B&B

I was very satisfied with the B&B I stayed in during these days in Yunnan. First, we need to ask the driver to navigate to the main temple to drop off the car, which is very close to the homestay, and it is also convenient for the boss to help us move our luggage. Don't get off at the tourist center like I did. The boss came up out of breath and helped us carry our luggage down. There is a small path to the B&B, and the road is a bit bumpy. The boss was very enthusiastic and told us to call her if we had any problems and she would definitely take care of it. When we met in the evening, he asked us if we wanted to have cake, fried rice, or roast fire together. The breakfast was rice noodles cooked by the boss! Very delicious! The rice noodles I ate in Dali were not delicious. I thought I would fail this time, but it turned out not to be! The B&B has a great environment, it's not close to the main street and is relatively quiet. There is floor heating. As a Cantonese, this is my first time using it. The next day, I found that the clothes in my suitcase were all hot 🥲👍 The toilet is also sensor-activated, and the light in the mirror area is white! Makeup friendly! Like it very much. Because the lights around the mirrors in most hotels are yellow, which makes it very inconvenient to put on makeup. You can see the mountain from the corridor of the homestay. You could still see the mountain when you arrived on the first day. But the weather was not very good the next day, and all you could see was a gray haze. When we checked out, the boss led us to move our luggage to the main temple and wait for the driver to pick us up to go to Lijiang. It's really good. If I have the chance, I will stay here again.

Advantages: Clean, new facilities, floor heating and air conditioning. You can tell at a glance that the couple are honest and decent people. Regarding guiding self-driving guests to the parking lot, it is recommended to send a photo of the parking lot in advance, which is convenient for both parties. Disadvantages: Sound insulation is a shortcoming of the renovation of the old house. Our room was right next to the kitchen, so we could hear the noise of people drinking tea and chatting next door, and we could also hear the sounds of people walking around and even going to the toilet upstairs clearly. Perhaps due to lack of experience, there is still room for improvement in service. The breakfast consisted of only one egg, a small piece of corn, and three or two chopsticks of rice noodles, which was not enough to fill me up. After the cook finished her meal, she made herself a bowl of rice noodles and went to have breakfast aside without saying a word. We didn't want to disturb them, so we had to go to the room to find some snacks to fill our stomachs. It is recommended that the cook finish her meal early so as to better serve the guests. When checking out, neither of the two owners showed up, and only the cleaning lady cleaned up the mess hastily. It is recommended that the couple leave at least one person to say farewell to the guests, to ensure a complete farewell and to show courtesy. Overall, this is still a good homestay, and I hope it will do better and better in the future.

The B&B is conveniently located near Yujin Bridge and has very good sanitary facilities. The boss and his wife were very hospitable and took the initiative to invite us to chat around the fire, which made our stay in Shaxi a great experience. A highly recommended homestay. I will stay at MiLi again next time I come to Shaxi.
