8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (20 reviews)
"i stayed here for a visit with friends and was happy with it. the hotel is clean and comfortable with surprisingly large rooms. it's more of a group-tour hotel with lots of tour buses around - but good value for a comfortable room located near some of the major sights in Dali. The breakfast was very good. I'd recommend it for someone who wants affordable comfort while exploring Dali."

"We had a very restful stay at Qing Pu Villa. it is in a beautiful corner of Jingsuo island. The team took care of us very well, led by Lysand. Food was superb and the rooms are beautifully furnished with adequate facilities for the cold. Ly Sand is warm and friendly, even carrying our 2 month old baby who was fussy while we enjoyed our meals. The staff dried out our shoes with a warmer before we left and they were delightful to wear ! This is a hidden gem!"

The food was plentiful and delicious, the staff was courteous and professional, and my room overlooking the lake was awesome. Moonlight, my direct contact, was very good in keeping up with me and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I’d definitely recommend this hotel. "

"아주 만족합니다. 호텔이 엄청 예뻐요. 특히 중정은 드라마속 건물을 방불케 하네요. 호텔 직원들도 아주 친절해요. 조식: 쌀국수 맛집~ 꽃빵도 맛있어요 . 종류는 얼마 없는 소박한 조식입니다만 저는 만족합니다. 위치: 고성하고 가깝습니다~ 도보 10분 이내에 있지만 ,대로에서 한 블럭 뒤에 있어 조용합니다~ 숙면 가능 편의성 : 주변 맛집, 마트 , 시장도 있어 편리 합니다 교통: 3일 연박시 픽업서비스가 있습니다. 위생: 전반적으로 딱히 냄새가 난다거나, 청소가 덜 된곳은 없습니다. 숙박서비스?: 민족복장 한벌 무료 대여권 한장, 오후차 서비스 한번 주시네요~ 단점: 고성하고 가까워 차가 좀 막힙니다만 크게 문제 되지 않았습니다."
