Dali Ankangyu Homestay

booked the first floor because we had big luggages. When we check in the guy said they "upgraded" us to a good taking photo room and will help with the luggages. He brought up 1, left 1 downstair. There was no water the whole day so I have to use "the public toilet" at the 1st floor with cold water take shower, and carried the water upstair ourself to use the ketle to heat it up for my friend to take the shower. That's not even all. At night there was raining and the water kept on dropping from the ceiling. we asked to move room but the guy said we have to wait until the next day. Finally got moved after pull in a Chinese friend to help with talking. Got moved to a 3km away from town with no amenities, in a dark valley and walking distance to nothing. Thou the manager/owner said sorry with a good manner, he did not really want to solve any issue.

Fabulous place and wish I could have stayed longer. The manager was exceptionally friendly and helpful, it's in a quiet location (within very easy walking distance of Dali's main attractions), the place is clean and well-maintained, the bed was comfy, the Wi-Fi was strong, and there are good common areas available. Would definitely return. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

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!
