Our host was very welcoming. She provided us with helpful info about things to do in Yunnan province, where to eat/go locally which we loved and helped us book our driver for day trips. As we were travelling as a multi generational family of 6, we booked the entire house which was very spacious and the view from the rooftops was lovely.

Excellent boarding choice in Bai shao. The room is cozy and comfortable with a nice court yard. The hosts are friendly. However, it's regrettable that the host wouldn't serve breakfast any more. Otherwise, having breakfast in the court yard would be a nice experience.

Offering a garden and sun terrace, October Inn features cosy rooms with free Wi-Fi access in Lijiang. The property can arrange various activities like horse riding, cycling and hiking. Computers are offered in public area and guests can enjoy tea on site.

We stayed at October Inn for four nights and it was just great! Let's start form the room: very big and comfortable, bathroom also quite big with everything you need. There is a nice terrace where you can enjoy a great view of the mountains and the city. Two beautiful courtyards where to sit and relax. It is located just 10 minutes from Lijiang ancient town, so a nice and short walk. The best part: the hosts are simply great. They came to pick us up at the train station when we arrived and took us back when we left, they helped us to organise some trips around and gave us a lot of suggestions and advice about what to do and how to move around. In the evening we used to spend time with them sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and talking. One evening they took us for a nice walk on the mountain just at the back of the Hostel. We really enjoyed our stay and, if we have the chance to go back to Lijiang, no doubt we will go back to October Inn.

    We loved our stay in Lijang. The Old Town is beautiful and the guest house was in a great location. The room was clean and very cute. The staff at Lewo Guest House were fantastic. They went over and above expectations during our stay. The staff on the desk helped us to organise day trips and getting to our next destination as well as ordering a birthday cake, too. We definitely recommend Lewo Guest House to all who visit Lijang.

    Good value for money. This guesthouse is really a hidden gem, it's in a quiet lane of the old town. What makes me love gegewu is the support provided by the little staff. She helped book trips and was always available to provide any needed help.. One night when I came back she brought me a cake. in addition, it really warmed my heart. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated in a traditional style. I highly recommend this guest house.

    Actually we actually came across this guest house and it's way beyond our expectation. The snow Mountain is directly outside the window. And the host is really hospitable. We were offered delicious breakfast and the staff were very understanding.

    This is a beautiful boutique quaint gem of a place in Lijiang. It has a stunning view from the dinning room window of the rooftops in Lijiang. It is perfectly located, right in the middle of the Old Town Lijiang. The staff of this hotel is friendly, helpful and with a "I can help you with that" attitude. It was wonderful to spend Christmas here.

    Wonderful hosts, great Tea and welcome drinks. and plenty of useful information. Free fruit and snacks for all to try. Great location at the edge of Old Town. A few steps to climb, but nothing major. Nice size rooms, and we got a free upgrade due to quiet season.
