HILLSIDE RETREAT

I was originally looking for a lakeside homestay near Dianchi Lake, but all the options were fully booked. So I decided to go with HILLSIDE RETREAT, which happened to be ranked #1—what a lucky choice! The hotel is nestled in a quiet villa area right by the lake, just a short walk from Ethnic Village, making it super convenient for exploring. From the moment I arrived, everything felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. What truly stood out was the service from the lovely concierge staff—she called within minutes of my booking to confirm my preferences and greeted me warmly upon arrival. She even shared personalized travel tips for exploring Kunming, complete with local restaurant recommendations. I followed her advice and had an amazing meal at Sweet Bamboo, a must-try for Yunnan cuisine. I also picked up a beautiful bracelet at the hotel gift corner—simple yet elegant, perfect for souvenirs. Breakfast was outstanding: a wide variety of fresh, delicious dishes, especially the handmade rice noodles that I still dream about. This place offers such a peaceful retreat with exceptional hospitality and value. I’ll definitely be back.

Dianchi Impression No.9 Apartment Hotel

We arrived at the hotel quite late, but the front desk staff was incredibly thoughtful—they greeted us with a warm bowl of night-time sweet porridge. The eight-treasure rice porridge was perfectly cooked, soft and comforting. The room was spotless, cozy, and so quiet that we slept like babies. Parking was easy, and getting to the metro line 5 was just a 5-6 minute walk—super convenient for exploring the city. The weather in Kunming was absolutely perfect, so we headed out to Haiheng Dam to feed the seagulls. What really stood out was how the hotel provided free bird feed and even gave us a helpful recommendation on the best route to explore. That little touch made our trip so much better. But honestly, the highlight was the common areas—the ambiance was stunning, especially in the evening when the lighting created such a magical vibe. It was the kind of place that’s perfect for photos and unforgettable moments. Honestly, this stay exceeded all my expectations from day one. If you're visiting Kunming, this is an absolute must-book. Highly recommended!

HUALUXE Kunming by IHG

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its exceptional attention to detail. From the moment I arrived, the service felt personal and thoughtful—especially thanks to our dedicated concierge, Yuan Yuan, who went above and beyond. After checking in, she helped me plan the perfect itinerary, even stepping in when I missed the spa soaking time by preparing a bath kit with salts and a tub cover. She also guided me through the entire bathing process, making it feel seamless and relaxing. The staff were incredibly professional—the humidifier was cleaned before use, and everything from the latex pillows to charging cables was thoughtfully provided. Even small things like reminders if I left something behind showed how genuinely cared for I felt. The room itself offered a serene view of distant mountains and endless skies, turning every moment into a peaceful escape. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a memorable experience that delivers luxury, comfort, and genuine hospitality.
