Tibet Guesthouse 虎跳峡卓玛客栈 offers accommodation in Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area. It is located a 10-minute walk from Middle Section of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Free WiFi is available in all areas.

The Tibet Guest house is run by a lovely family and I had an excellent stay. My room was great with a lovely balcony overlooking the gorge. The views are stunning. The son really helped me with all my hiking needs and I hiked the lower gorge right down by the river and the next day the upper gorge. I was taken to the start of both hikes. The food at the guest house was lovely and I ate there for 2 days. They are so friendly and welcoming it was a joy to be there. I also did all my washing. Everything was perfect for me and they arranged for my onward travel to Shangri La.

Housed in a Tibetan-style building, Timeless Inn is located in Shangri-La Old Town. It offers free Wi-Fi in all areas, bicycle rentals and free usage of computers at the public areas. The tour desk can help guests organise hiking trips.

This was one of the most comfortable and cozy guest houses I have ever stayed in! Rose and Azon are incredibly kind, friendly, helpful people and they really understand the needs of foreign guests, especially westerners. Comfortable beds, non-smoking, western food (if desired), etc. They made everything so easy for me including helping me arrange a covid test in town which was above and beyond. And Rose's English is amazing so no communication barriers. I extended my stay a few days because the place was so wonderful. Location was perfect too. Highly recommended!

    Rose the owner is amazing, warm, funny and caring. She speaks very good English and knows what to do and where to go. The place is charming and the location on the edge of the old town couldn’t be better. This is not for those looking for corporate luxury but an authentic experience with a perfect host.

    I really like my room, I absolutely love this style of furnishing. I also really appreciated the electric blanket. In the reception area, one can sit comfortably and meet other travellers. The location is absolutely amazing, right in the old city center. I did all my sightseeing by walking from the hostel.

    Kunga and his wife were very kind and hospitable hosts. They picked us up for free from the High Speed Rail station. Gave us a lot of travel information that made our stay in Shangri La an enjoyable one. Room was cosy and very clean. Heater and electric blanket in the room were enough to keep us warm in the cold winter. Located inside the Duzekong ancient town, food is easily available just outside the guesthouse. Highly recommended!!

    The position of the guesthouse is in the middle of the Dukezong Old Town but in a secondary alley, that grant quiet in the night time. The building is very traditional and enjoyable.

    First of all, we really appreciated how much effort the accomodating and friendly owners put in their cozy guesthouse. They made our stay homely and we felt very welcomed. We were given tea or hot chocolate in the colder evening and they served us fruit in the afternoon. Our room was clean, the bed sheets warm for the cold nights and the common area lovely decorated. Since the hostel is situated within the old town, the location couldn't have been better. We would definitely come to stay here again!

    The hostel is in an excellent location, on a quiet street in the old town, moments away from the main streets and square. Although we had our own bikes, the free bicycle rental is an excellent addition and they're in good quality. Also the hostel cat is adorable and loving!

    the location was perfect. Tina’s guesthouse might be positioned in a convenient spot, but the Tibet GH was just a 10 minute walk away and was quiet and away from the crowds with rooms with stunning views
