Hotel Dali dengan Spa

Oh my god, I randomly stumbled upon this hidden gem of a homestay and it’s an absolute game-changer! It’s just a 5-minute walk from Dali Ancient Town, and getting a taxi to other places is a breeze. Like, transportation here couldn’t be more convenient! The place is straight-up stunning—so peaceful, chic, and seriously, it’s a photographer’s dream! I’m not even joking, you’ll be snapping pics non-stop!!!! Every corner screams Instagram-worthy!!!!!! Did I mention it’s perfect for photo ops???? 😂 And get this—the owner’s got a whole stash of great wine, the service is excellent, and their coffee? Holy moly, it’s mind-blowing! I was so not expecting that. For real, this is hands down the best homestay I’ve ever crashed at. No contest! If you’re heading to Dali, do yourself a favor and BOOK THIS PLACE. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!

Mutian Time Designer Guesthouse, Dali | A poetic stay in a century-old Bai courtyard We’ve just returned from Dali, and the place we keep thinking about most is this hidden gem at the foot of Cangshan Mountain — Mutian Time Designer Guesthouse. Oriental aesthetics in every corner The guesthouse is converted from a century-old traditional Bai courtyard house. With its grey-tiled roofs, white walls, and beautifully carved wooden structures, the space carries a quiet sense of history and elegance. The courtyard features water elements, stone paths, and blue and yellow lanterns that create beautiful layers of light and shadow during the day. At night, the soft lighting outlines the architecture and gives the entire space a warm, cinematic atmosphere. The common areas are equally charming, with a stone-built fireplace, vintage furniture, and art pieces thoughtfully placed throughout. The design blends traditional Eastern aesthetics with modern touches, creating a space that feels both timeless and refined. Comfort with thoughtful details Our room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable. A stone feature wall behind the bed, paired with soft bedding and warm lighting, created a subtle sense of “wild luxury” while still feeling cosy and relaxed. Opening the window reveals the courtyard view — waking up to birdsong in the morning and watching the lanterns glow in the evening adds a special charm to the stay. Warm and attentive service From booking to check-out, the hosts were welcoming and attentive. Upon arrival, they introduced the history of the house and highlighted the design features of the property, and were happy to recommend nearby restaurants and local spots to explore. The afternoon tea was beautifully presented, with fresh fruit and delicate snacks — perfect for enjoying a slow afternoon in the courtyard. Breakfast included some local Bai-style flavours, simple yet delicious, and a lovely way to start the day. A peaceful location near the old town The guesthouse is tucked away in Zhongyin Village at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, about a 15-minute drive from Dali Ancient Town. It offers a quiet retreat away from the crowds while still being conveniently close to the main attractions. Surrounded by village life and forested hills, the air feels fresh and full of the scent of nature. More than just a place to stay, Mutian Time feels like a living piece of art. It brought a sense of calm and poetry to our trip to Dali. If you’re looking to experience the slower, more peaceful side of Dali, this is definitely a place worth staying. 大理木田时间野奢设计师民宿｜住进百年白族宅院的诗意时光 刚从大理回来，最念念不忘的就是这家藏在苍山脚下的宝藏民宿——木田时间野奢设计师民宿。 一步一景的东方美学 民宿由百年白族宅院改建而成，青瓦白墙、木构雕花，处处透着古朴雅致。庭院里的水景、石径、蓝黄灯笼，白天光影错落，夜晚灯光勾勒轮廓，随手一拍都是国风大片。公区的石砌壁炉、复古家具和艺术挂画，把东方美学和现代设计融合得恰到好处，既有岁月沉淀感，又不失精致格调。 细节拉满的舒适体验 我们住的房间宽敞通透，石砌背景墙搭配柔软床品，既有野奢感又足够温馨。推窗就是庭院景致，清晨在鸟鸣中醒来，傍晚看灯笼亮起，氛围感直接拉满。 贴心周到的管家式体验 从预订到离店，全程都有管家贴心对接，入住时会详细介绍民宿历史和公区亮点，还会推荐周边小众玩法。下午茶精致又美味，水果新鲜、茶点细腻，在庭院里晒着太阳，慢悠悠享受大理的慢时光。早餐有地道白族风味，食材新鲜，味道惊艳，开启元气满满的一天。 闹中取静的绝佳选址 民宿隐于苍山脚下的中银村，距离古城仅15分钟车程，既避开了喧嚣，又能便捷抵达各处景点。周边是原生村落和森林，空气清新，每一口呼吸都是草木的清香。 这不仅是一家民宿，更是一件有温度的艺术品。它让我们在大理的旅程中，找到了一份远离尘嚣的宁静与诗意。如果你想体验真正的大理慢生活，木田时间绝对是不容错过的选择！

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Dali Twelve Clouds Villa Seaview Hotel (Erhai Branch).😊 The view of the lake from our room was stunning, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the breakfast was very, very good — plenty of variety and really fresh. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and great value for money. A special mention goes to Zhang Feng, who truly made our stay outstanding. Even though we arrived late at night, he checked us in smoothly and went above and beyond to help us. We didn’t have access to the local food apps, but he kindly used his own to order food for us when we were hungry, making sure everything was taken care of. Throughout our stay, he was attentive, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His hospitality really stood out. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful scenery, comfortable rooms, and genuine hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and if you meet Zhang Feng, you’ll be in very good hands!😊

2nd time stay at the hotel. The hotel's location and cost-effectiveness are big big plus. The hotel staff is very helpful and with great service mind. Location: in a small alley just a bit away from the mainstreet and entrance to the Old Town. So guests can enjoy the proximity to main attractions without a lot of noise from the street. It is also convenient to get taxi (than living right inside the old town where cars are not allowed inside.) The North Gate market is also near (10-minute walk) Rooms: relatively new with smart control (door lock, toilet, TV, air conditioning). Room size is quite small but quite ok for the price. Rooms are clean without smell.. The only minus might be weak noise protection. So if your neighbours are noisy, you might need earplugs. But apart from that nothing to complain.

Nice stay with a clean room. The manager is realy kind and helpful. He borowed us an electrical bicycle so me moved freely arround the city. The hotel is realy close to the lake. I realy recommand this place!

Absolutely loved this hotel during my stay in Dali. The hotel was very convenient for me as it was in a slightly quieter area and I was able to relax. There were several constructions going on along the road for new villas but it seemed unavoidable as there was really a lot of them every few hundred metres or so. The host was really warm and welcoming, also really helpful. They helped me retrieve my luggage up to my room on my first day and back down to the car on my last. They often checked in to give tips around the area and made small talk which helped me a lot as a solo traveller. She provided me recommendations, offered to help with any delivery related items as I did not have a chinese number, and even helped me make coffee. Their farewell gift to me was surprisingly some sour plums (their specialised gift) that I had been contemplating to purchase while in the ancient towns, and it really solidified the whole idea of the hotel for me. My booking had breakfast included and every morning the breakfast they prepared (although simple) is delicious. Their dining hall area is comfortably decorated and looks really lovely. As for my room, I absolutely loved the layout and space catered. The smart curtains, projector and all gave me privacy and entertainment while resting. I didn’t get to use the bathtub as it was too cold for me despite the heater, but I really appreciated all the available disposable bath covers/vanity kits/bath essentials/toilet covers. The balcony was my go to place to relax and have hot tea. The separated bathrooms were spacious and functional, and the powder area had a good space for me to do my necessary preparations.

Staff were so nice! Three helpful handsome gentlemen. They helped carry the luggage down/up to our room, and through the roads to our didi. Every questions we asked they answered. Checked in on us and asked how we were doing, if we were tired, if we need anything.

一整面落地窗直麪洱海，清晨醒來就能看到波光粼粼的湖面，傍晚還能躺在床上看日落，氛圍感直接拉滿，而且房間佈置得特別用心，原木傢俱搭配温柔的暖色調，牆上的“圓滿”書法掛畫透着禪意，藤編吊燈更是點睛之筆。床品柔軟親膚，一覺睡到自然醒，完全沒有旅途的疲憊感。

It was a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything is really cosy and the stuff is really nice. They took care of everything und made a really delicious breakfast for me. I would come back anytime.

Outstanding service and room quality! Really appreciative of Judy and the other customer service staff who went out of their way to make the stay truly phenomenal! Being up the mountainside, the view was amazing and the villa grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Any issues and queries we had were answered promptly and resolved fast. It’s a short car ride to the old town, and it’s easy to call a car at the villa. Would recommend this place for travellers who want a place to relax and enjoy their time in Dali! Thanks Judy!! (:
