"Beautiful building. A smaller room with a shared toilet but it is sufficient for me. Have enough space to place my backpacks. A seating area outside and many seating areas around the building. Friendly hosts allowed me to check-in earlier. Shaxi is small so basically walking distance to anywhere."
"This homestay run by a leave in the family, and they go all out to make our stay comfortable. They can help you to book sharing a car to Dali or Lijiang at a very reasonable price. The homestay is just 2 mins walk from the taxi drop-off point, and you dont need to drag your luggage too far on the rubble road. Do note that inside the old town, vehicles are not allowed. The market and food stall is just 2 mins walk away, and you can find plenty of local food for breakfast and lunch. Next to the homestay you can find a cafe which serves good americano for just RMB9.90. Highly recommended to stay in this homestay."
"The location is very good, the front door is about 20 meters from the parking lot, the back door is about 20 meters from Sideng Street, and supermarkets and restaurants are very close. The room is big enough, with plenty of space to store luggage and hang clothes. Clothes can be hung on the roof. The housekeeping is very good and responsive to requests, and there are enough bottled water pipes. The shopkeepers are kind and gentle. By the way, the yard is very beautiful. You can take a rest, drink tea and chat, but you forgot to take photos."

"Stayed for three nights, highly recommended. Two courtyards, very large, with many plants, and little squirrels. You can wash clothes, and the boss will help you dry them. The room is very quiet, and I slept very comfortably. The air conditioner has a night sleep mode, and the TV can cast the screen. The boss is warm and friendly, and the food is delicious. The hotel is in a good location, just five or six minutes walk to the Pioneer Bookstore, and it only takes a few minutes to go to the back to take pictures of the rice fields and watch the stars. It also takes a few minutes to rent an electric car from the store to go to the ancient town. If I hadn't booked a flight, I really wanted to stay a few more days."
"I booked this on a friend's recommendation. I went to Shaxi to experience the local culture and customs, so I loved this courtyard-style B&B, built in the style of traditional Bai ethnic minority dwellings! This local couple runs a local business, a place that doubles as a guesthouse and home. The owner and hostess were incredibly welcoming, helping with our luggage and asking about our well-being. It felt like home. They even have a cute and affectionate Border Collie who plays Frisbee with guests! The best part about the inn is the tranquil environment, with gurgling water, chirping birds, and fragrant flowers—it's so relaxing! You could always see the hostess busy cleaning and putting things away, and the cleanliness was impeccable! There's also their own parking lot right outside the door, a laundry terrace, and an audio-visual entertainment room—everything is included. Overall, for this price range, this inn is absolutely highly recommended!"
"I was in this Hotel for a few days and would have stayed longer if I wouldn't had the flight back right after my stay there. This was the place I was looking for to calm down and get some peace. The Hotel is very peaceful and if you want to go for a hike in the mountains I can really recommend. And definitely drink some tea with owner ;) It's really good."
"I chose this hotel on my way to Shaxi. I really like the design style. They also helped me upgrade the room. The service attitude was also very good. It only takes a short walk to the ancient town. Shaxi is really an unforgettable place. There are many things that have not been developed yet. There will be many rustic things. I will definitely go there again in the future and continue to choose this B&B."
"Although the homestay is not in the ancient town, it only takes five minutes to walk to the ancient town. The trail to the ancient town is very beautiful, quiet in the middle of noisy, and it is a good place to stay. The owner of the homestay is very simple, but the room is very modern and comfortable. Everyone is very satisfied with the parents and children. The boss is also very enthusiastic, provides pick-up and drop-off, and the breakfast is very rich. It is worth mentioning that during the stay, it coincided with the torch festival. The son of the owner of the hotel also made torches for his sister's parents and children. He asked the elderly in the village for a face. In the evening, the owner of the hotel warmly entertained dinner. The younger son took his sister to the torch festival in the village. It is worth remembering. Next time I come to Shaxi, I will choose this homestay! Very recommended!"
"When I came, there were not many people in the off-season. It was a great stay. The service of the hotel staff was very warm and attentive. The bait noodle soup for breakfast was very delicious. The fresh milk I drank every morning was freshly squeezed that day. It was very delicious! Thank you for preparing these dishes for us, very delicious and very attentive, super recommended! The interior decoration style of the hotel is simple and chic. The courtyard is also planted with many flowers and plants. Sitting in the yard will always hear the birds of nature. Next time I have the opportunity to come back and stay for a long time, this is a good place for slow life and precipitation."

GGuest UserThe B&B owner is super nice! We were upgraded to a bigger room because the room was not cleaned on the day we checked in. This B&B has no shortcomings in terms of geographical location, hygiene, facilities, etc. The proprietress will pick you up and drop you off at the ancient city and the farm. There was a particularly warm library, and we spent the entire afternoon there on our first day.
The room is very large and has all the necessary facilities. The entire homestay is so beautiful that it looks great no matter how you take photos of it. There are some small animals on the farm on the mountain. The calves and lambs all look very healthy. The whole homestay gives people a very relaxing atmosphere. You can take pictures of the stars from the rooftop of the restaurant. There is a large field at the door, and the view is super good without any obstruction. Because they are the first one at the entrance of the village, other B&Bs probably don’t have such a good view. The breakfast provided by the B&B is super delicious, with fresh milk that was just squeezed that day and a variety of fresh vegetables. If you don't want to go out for lunch or dinner, the B&B can also provide it. The meals are all fresh, and the vegetables just picked from the field will be super delicious if you just stir-fry them. The staff are also very friendly.
If I return to Shaxi Ancient Town for tourism, I will definitely stay at their place again.

LLily771204This is my third visit to Shaxi. On my previous trips, I'd stayed in older wooden guesthouses where the soundproofing between floors wasn't great. This time, I deliberately chose this newly opened guesthouse, which has been beautifully renovated from a traditional wooden structure. True to its name, 'Mili' (meaning 'Grain of Rice'), it might be compact but it's perfectly appointed and utterly satisfying. The guesthouse facilities are excellent. The owners are a young local couple who are exceptionally warm and hospitable, making you feel right at home and completely avoiding the impersonal feel of a hotel. With only five rooms, it offers a wonderfully quiet stay. Plus, the Ersi (a local rice noodle dish) cooked by the breakfast auntie was absolutely delicious. All in all, it was a fantastic guesthouse experience.

GGuest UserI was amazed by this light luxury B&B. It was a very comfortable experience. From the design of the room to the toiletries, everything was meticulous and very clean. . The boss is very attentive. Every detail of the room gives people a sense of security and comfort. The scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is picturesque. . The bed is moderately hard and soft, and very comfortable to sleep on. The bedding is very clean, the quilt is soft, and two beds are thoughtfully made. Towels, slippers, and tea sets are all sterilized in a special sterilizer, which is rarely seen in other hotels. For people who pay special attention to hygiene, it is impeccable. .
On the night of our check-in, the landlady prepared a delicious dinner with local specialties. The fried milk pancakes were delicious, and the braised spareribs were soft and tasty. . Having breakfast while listening to music gives you a day of energy and a sense of relaxation. The walnut European bread made by the boss lady is especially delicious. . After dinner, we lit the fireplace and sat around drinking tea, chatting and warming ourselves by the fire. The owner is a talented, tasteful and considerate young man. He designed the house himself. The wall design retains the original materials of the old house and adds modern elements. It is both practical and storytelling and has a sense of design. .
The boss's child is lively and cute, a clever little boy who adds unexpected joy to the trip. .
This is a beautiful place where you will never want to leave once you move in. . .
Ttravelbug123As I booked two rooms seperately, this is the same review as my first. This has got to be my most memorable stay while travelling around Yunnan. Operated by a lovely couple, this homestay is tasteful and thoughtful and has all the necessity you need for a great night sleep and more. I wished I stayed a few more days as it was such a peaceful and beautiful home to be in. Decked across two floors, I think the bigger rooms are on the second floor which they will help with carrying luggages. The smaller rooms seems to be on the ground floor. Location wise, while they are not located in the old town itself, that's the beauty of it. The environment is thus peaceful and quiet and they have offered to drive us into the main town if needed. Breakfast was thoughtful, nutritious, beautifully presented and served at the tea area. One cannot help but feel culturally transformed by the hospitality of this place. I truly wish them all the best in their new business adventure. Even my elderly parents were impressed. Hope to be back again.
GGuest UserThough not spacious, the room's true appeal lies in its exquisite cleanliness and rustic elegance. Its charm is such that every passerby would be curious to explore. We were particularly impressed that this guesthouse, opened in 2017, is still so impeccably maintained. Rooms were in high demand, so we only managed to secure a booking for one night. From the rooms to the courtyard and the second-floor balcony, thoughtful design is evident everywhere. The breakfast Er'si noodles were absolutely delicious, easily as good as (if not better than) those from a restaurant. Enjoying the complimentary ripe Pu-erh tea with my daughter on the balcony was incredibly pleasant and relaxing. Shaxi Ancient Town itself captivated me; I absolutely adored its rustic and authentic charm.

GGuest UserThe B&B is about 2 minutes away from the pedestrian street. It is easily accessible by car. It is convenient to unload luggage and there is no need to drag luggage along the stone road. It is very convenient. When traveling, I always hope that my accommodation will be clean, quiet and brightly lit. Lanyue B&B exceeded my expectations on these three points.
The rice noodles for breakfast at the B&B are particularly delicious, and hot fresh milk is provided in the evening. The room is spacious and the bed is very good to sleep on. There are almost no faults.
Shaxi is different from other ancient towns that have become commercialized and stereotyped. The scenery here is beautiful, and the shops have a literary style and are full of human touch. You will meet kind and cheerful people who are willing to help, such as the owner of Lan Yue B&B, the little yellow car (No. 50), The owner of Xi Farmhouse Farmhouse Cuisine and Riverside Fish Restaurant, stayed here for two days, and still lingered over it. It is worth coming back.

VVivien Shen GwoThe property is very close to one of the entrances into the old town, so it was very easy to alight the car and just walk over, as cars are not allowed in the old town.
First impression of the property was great, as there was a very well maintained garden filled with flowering plants, right when you entered the doors.
Eric and Joyce, the friendly and warm owners of this lovely place, were there to greet us too! Fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, it was a breeze chatting and learning more about Shaxi from the two of them! This is especially convenient for tourists who are from SG, MY, who may prefer to communicate in English or Cantonese!
Rooms were very clean and heaters were available. There is no air conditioning, but frankly, you will not require that at all!
The main street of the old town is just a casual walk away, perhaps just 5 mins from the property. But along the way, you would certainly stop by many spots to have pictures taken as the entire place is so scenic! The houses, the vibes, the courtyards etc, everywhere you turn and look, it's just beautiful.
There is no lack of places to dine at, once you are at the old town, so despite the fact that the property does not include food, you will never go hungry.
All in all, it was a great experience and we would highly recommend anyone who visits Shaxi to stay over at this awesome property!

JJenk wokThis lovingly well managed boutique hotel stole our hearts the moment we stepped into the compound. Firstly, hospitality is at its best! Owner 潘姐 and her team are so welcoming and hospitable. We were so well taken care of throughout our two nights stay.
Hotel is located within minutes walk to Shaxi old town. Fresh fruits and flowers arrangement grace the halls & rooms daily, making it such a charming and cosy place for guests to enjoy. Rooms are superbly well appointed with modern amenities & well curated furnishings. Bed and pillows are so comfortable that we slept very well. Breakfast is wonderful and delicious and there’s always a plate of fresh fruits served to us in the afternoons. Throughout the hotel, we see beautiful collection of Yunnan decorative ornaments well put together by Sister Pan. She is someone who puts in heart and soul into managing this boutique hotel & caring for her guests. We enjoyed our delightful conversations and were gifted a guide book of Yunnan authored by her husband董增旭.
Thank you so much for the hospitality! Highly recommend this boutique hotel!

GGuest UserFuxi Shanhai is such a wonderful stay!! We had a beautiful room and they upgraded us to a bigger room because of availability. The location is great, just a few minutes walking distance from Shaxi old town roads, but also very quiet. The best part of our stay was the host, who was a very friendly and hospitable man (who was previously a martial arts practitioner in Beijing). He treated us like family, and went above and beyond to also help us coordinate transportation to our next destination and get in contact with the hotel manager of our next destination to come pick us up and show us how to get there. In the rabbit warren cobblestone roads of Old Dali, it would have been impossible to find without his help and coordination. I highly recommend staying here when you come to Shaxi.

ZZaidalideyinianLocation: Very close to the entrance to the ancient town, with convenient parking. The alley is quiet and within easy walking distance of the nearby snack street. I love Shaxi Ancient Town's leisurely pace and have enjoyed it several times. Staying here was a real win.
Environment: While the courtyard isn't large, it's well-maintained. There's a small garden on the first floor and a pavilion on the second. Sitting on the small terrace on the second floor, gazing at the mountains and listening to the breeze is an ideal getaway. This is the rhythm of life in Shaxi.
Room Facilities: The overall atmosphere is very comfortable. The house seems to have been renovated from an old local house. The room features solid wood tables and chairs, modern furniture, and comfortable bedding. They provide drip coffee, and the minibar is well-stocked. The breakfast is also quite varied.
Service: The hotel staff communicated promptly with relevant information. The owner said he had been visiting Yunnan for several years and finally settled in Shaxi. It is truly a perfect place for a relaxing vacation.
