A great place for travellers and hippies. A special place in china though. The family dinner is great, the hostel owner is super kind and always helpful. We had a really good time there - so good we stayed way longer than planned ;)

Very charming wooden house with beautiful courtyard full of plants, sunshine and good vibes. The owner and the crew of the hostel are amazing and make you feel at home immediately. You can book all kinds of tours in and around Shaxi and buy many local products and amazing cocktails :)

As soon as I entered the courtyard and met the team I felt at home. This would be the place where I could rest and take distance from the overly touristic Lijiang and Dali. I was meant to stay 2 nights but stayed a week! Guests and hostel team spend many nights cooking and laughing together. It was a warm healing experience and I miss Shaxi, the hostel and the team already :)

Just incredible. One of the best hotels I’ve been to, just for the feeling of peace and cosiness this place has. The staff is perfectly bilingual, and sharing dinner with them is a tasty idea. Just sip a cup of their Yunnan tea in the pretty courtyard, and relax.

This was a lovely place in a great location in Shaxi. The staff was very helpful in suggesting activities in the area, the rooms were converted "horse stalls" that were comfortable and tastefully done, and it was a great experience. Highly recommend this place for your stay!

It can be a bit noisy because its an old wooden house (e.g. noisy footsteps upstairs, guests in the courtyard at night), but this wasn't a huge issue.
One of my favourite hostels I have stayed in. The staff are awesome, they served us tea and can provide advice about Shaxi area, and speak great English. We had a "family dinner" one night for 28 yuan, where they make nice Chinese food for the staff and guests to eat together. The location is great, just off the main square in town, and you can walk to all the restaurants and cafes. The rooms are quite basic, but not bad for the price. There is a giant cute Tibetan dog there too!
