Hotel Mountain view di Pu'er

One of my favorite places I have stayed my whole trip! The rooms were safe, clean, and provided towels and slippers. As jt is only women staying here, it felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. The girls who work here are SO kind and helpful, they took me to see different sights and suggested things I might enjoy seeing. It’s very peaceful here, and I would definitely return if I was staying in Jingmai. Also, this hotel is in a slightly less touristic area which means there is little hustle and bustle from other tourists but is still located close to everything you need.

Probably the best hotels in Ninger in 2026, all new. A bit away from the town centre (7 kuai Didi), quiet location, rooms are large and clean, but decor is a bit soulless. Special: the large swimming pool, rare in Yunnan in a hotel. The balconies of the rooms are a nice idea, but in reality of little use.

When I started planning our itinerary for our 15 day Yunnan holiday, I plotted out our path to go all the way up to Shangri-la, back down to Kunming and then to Jiaozi Snow Mountain and Dongchuan Red Land. Then I chanced upon a video of Aini Garden and fell in love! The only reason we came to Pu'er was to get to Aini. This was the first place I booked, and I really took a chance because it has a no cancellation policy and I really had to stick to the date once it was made. The initial pre-arrival experience was less than pleasant. I didn't know how we were going to get to the manor and my WeChat messages went unanswered. The hotel we stayed at in Pu'er finally got in touch with someone and got them to message me. I asked how we could get there and the answer was a curt ”take a taxi or charter a car”. No pleasantries of ”we look forward to seeing you” or offering to arrange a car. When we arrived, no one was at reception and no one came out. Our driver was so perplexed he wondered if we were in the right place and if the place was open. Finally a young girl came out and registered us in. There was an air of aloofness from everyone else. However, once we were checked in, things warmed up quickly. We were offered coffee and freshly cut papaya and had a nice introduction chat with the lady staff. The bedroom and bathroom is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. We would have enjoyed sitting on the balcony if the chairs were more comfortable. I love the floor to ceiling glass windows but the panel above the door should also be glass (it is just netting) so traffic sounds from the road actually comes through at night. I actually wanted to book the cottage in the hills but opted for the standard room in the main house because I was worried it would be cold. Big regret as it is actually magnificently located with stunning views. However take note that you will need to call for a buggy ride or make a 1km hike every time you want to eat or get to the main house. If you are self driving, no issues as you can park right next to the cottage. Anyway it's a small price to pay for an unlimited view of the milky way and seclusion. This is as close to a Ryokan experience as you can get in China, minus the hot springs. 3 days 2 nights of blissful, carefree living is not quite enough. They make sure they feed you well, with the freshest produce available for hotpot dinner and home-cooked Yunnanese dishes for lunch. There are so many activities organised, from taking you up the mountain for a glimpse of sunrise (with mountain goats for company ❤️) to coffee plantation education tour to horseback riding along the mountain ridges (the view is spectacular!) to scavenging for wild vegetables and fruits to drinking, dancing and singing around the campfire! So much to do, so little time! One area of improvement I personally would like to see is the coffee serving. They tend to be quite snobbish about how their coffee is taken. Neat, with nothing else. Asking for sugar or milk feels nearly scorned upon. Coffee is a versatile drink and can be savoured in a huge variety of ways. How else is Starbucks so successful? I felt kind of stifled and deprived because I love a good latte and had looked forward to enjoying an unlimited indulgence of coffee throughout our stay. Anyhow, I love the ecotourism efforts here. It feels natural and unpretentious. I love the people and the camaraderie they cultivate. I especially enjoyed talking to their consultant 敬梅, a beautiful lady with extensive knowledge in Yunnan culture and ecological progress. Also thank you to 徐芳 for arranging transport back to town and giving helpful recommendations. We hope to return again.

Here is a place that truly embodies class—at a surprisingly friendly price. The rooms are absolutely stunning (just see the photos!), the service is stellar, and the location is wonderfully quiet. We enjoyed every second of our stay. The property also features a large underground parking area. A lovely man at the front desk kindly helped us park our vehicle on the first day—such a warm and welcoming touch. Free breakfast thrown in as well. Cheers!

Amazing stay! The house is located just outside the village on a quiet road. The rooms are super clean, well equipped, and have air conditioning, which is important in winter. But beyond the house itself, the real highlight is the owner. We shared several tea-drinking sessions where he explained the secrets of Pu’er tea and Bulang traditions and history. Despite the language barrier (we don’t speak Chinese and he doesn’t speak English), he made a huge effort using translator apps, and communication was easy and fun. He is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, we highly recommend spending time drinking tea with him. He also created a WeChat mini-app with guides and information about the area, which we used a lot and found very helpful. Our stay was unforgettable: the Jingmai mountains were the highlight of our trip to China, and we went home with some amazing Pu’er tea and great memories. Looking forward to coming back!

Originally, i booked only 1 night, with the intention of going onwards to Laos the next day. But i stayed a 2nd night because the room was spacious and the view out of the window was so restful. About the room, I like it that there is a desk i could work from. And that the shower and WC areas are divided by a screen. For the 2nd day, my room was refreshed with used toiletries replenished and towels changed. I wish the guesthouse would implement a system where guests are able to indicate if they wish to use the same towels. I am pro-environment, so if i don't change my towels everyday at home, i don't see the need to do so when i am away. I also like the location as it was easy for me to catch Bus Route 3 to a nearby shopping area (i had KFC breakfast there), cross the road to take Bus Route 8 to Meizi Lake Park. I spent about 3 hours there, including enjoying coffee and cake in the cafe near the entrance to the park. (My biggest regard was i did not get to drink even 1 cup of Pu'er tea while in Pu'er :)) After that I back tracked on Bus Route 8 to change to Bus Route 3 to visit the Tea Horse Ancient City. Then after, I took Bus Route 3 to the shopping centre, had dinner and shopped at Walmart, before catching Bus Route 3 back to the guesthouse. There is a walking/running track just across the road from the guesthouse. Forget about going the full length of the track. Once you see a slope on the right side, walk up there. You will get a nice viewpoint and there is a nice cafe there. If the weather is right, you get to see sunrise too! I went in the morning, the cafe was closed, so did not patronise the place. Had I known about this cafe, i would have gone there on the 1st day. Perhaps the guesthouse operator could do up a map with information of easily assessible places of interest. This could result in longer stays for free and easy travellers. Pu'er is a well planned town/city. I like it and will recommend others to spend some time there. Most importantly, do stay at this guesthouse. The surrounding tea plantations will recharge you!

We loved this hotel so much we booked an extra night, the staff helped us with moving our luggage to a new room and were kind and hospitable. The dinner and breakfast at the hotel are fantastic. The hotel is in the scenic area and the scenic area is really nice for a half day, can see many different animals. I especially want to thank Dai Canmei, she was helping us throughout our stay, she definitely made our stay memorable

Great hotel right at the entrance to the Wenji village. Rooms were clean & comfortable. Staff were friendly & helpful, making tea for us in the evening & helping book transport around the mountain & back to Pu’er after check out. Enjoyed my stay there & in the Jingmai Tea Mountain area

Beautful view, friendly staff. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious, but only served from 8am. We were able to grab a couple of boiled eggs before our 8am departure though!

Highly recommend this place! I stayed for 3 weeks, and they took such good care of me! We went tea picking, and drank much tea together! Their breakfast noodles are the best! They have been so accommodating even when language was a challenge, and awesome at translating, and really making me feel at home! Hai ge also speaks English! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! It’s a bit off the beaten path, but I loved being in between the bigger villages, and it feels like a perfect balance between tourist area and local area! The other family’s and village people around were amazing as well! If you get a chance definitely come and stay! 10/10!
