- Ronja (9/5): -
- Clémence (8/5): - L'emplacement et l'accueil du personnel.
La chambre était grande. Les couvertures chauffantes étaient très utiles. Les lits sont durs et usés.
- Pauline (10/5): Perfect place for a stay in Shangri-La - When entering, you really feel the mountains atmosphere. It looks like you are in the small tavern up in the mountains with no cities around. Really liked the atmosphere!
Everything is great and there are even heated mattresses for the cold night!
Really a great place to stay when visiting Shangri-La! Nothing
- lionel (10/5): - L'acceuil, les conseils et la disponibilité du couple, propriétaire de l'hostel

La situation centrale de l'hostel Rien

- Pol (10/5): Autèntica casa d'hostes - És un hostal petit en una casa de fusta tradicional. Té una sala comuna amb una estufa molt acollidora que a.la.vegada fa de bar/restaurant. La calefacció de l'habitació era excel·lent i el llit súper còmode. La dutxa aigua calenta i pressioyperfecte.
Però el millor sens dubte: sentir-se acoçlit a una casa de gent meravellosa. Tot ha estat genial.
- HESOOK (10/5): 다시 와도 자희랑 - 예쁜 쌍동이 친절한 여사장님
맛있는 식사 없음ㄷ

- Sonja (9/5): - Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast, bed warmer (!) There are no bed curtains in the dorms.
- Tejpal (9/5): The owners are incredibly supportive - This is hands down the best backpacking hostel! The environment is so lively and full of positive energy, making it easy to connect with other travelers. The owners are incredibly supportive and make you feel right at home. On top of that, the food they serve is delicious and very affordable — a huge bonus for backpackers. A perfect mix of comfort, community, and great value!

The vibe is warm, cosy and friendly. Clean bathrooms and dorms, even the food was pretty decent with a good price. Highly recommend staying here. The owner even helped us with accommodation, when we had forgotten of book an extra night and everything cheap in town was full! Nothing loved it all.

המארחים מקסימים וממש נחמדים.
חדר מאוד מרווח ונקי. אין.
- Martin (10/5): - Lovely little place with bar and gorgeous big bed and heater - a home from home. Great food and super helpful lady who runs it. Amazing location,
too, right on the edge of the old town and near the dancing square if that floats your boat...
Everything you want from a proper hostel in China. Nothing.
- Gyu Seob (8/5): -
- Anonymous8_ (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Anonymous (10/5): Cool place cool staff comfy single room - The single bedrooms are very comfortable. The owner and the staff are also very welcoming and helpful. The dorms are not comfortable, but it’s not worse than anywhere else
- Erik (10/5): Exceptional - Loved it. Wish I could have stayed longer. Exceptional staff, who were very friendly and helpful.
- Zhen (8/5): Very good -
- Yu (10/5): Best place to stay in Shangri-La - The owners took very good care of everyone, ensuring everyone was well fed and had good ideas for their trips around Shangri-la. They even upgraded the toilets to ensure the guests' needs were met. We had many great conversations about hiking, trekking, and which were the best places to hike in Yunnan, conversations which would not have been possible without the wealth of experience the owners had.
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Super cozy place, both the private room and dorms (tried both). In a quiet alley in the old town, serves good and fairly priced food and most of all very accommodating owners - helping and giving advice and also really nice to just talk with them. Would always book here when I’m in Shangri La.
- Laurette (10/5): Exceptional - Everything.
Great location, right inside the ancient town 😁
Bus 1 from the train station.
Great people to help with tourist attractions.
Great stampa 🥣
Electric blanket for cool night.
I extended my stay for two nights. Was upgraded with no extra cost.
Will come back. Nothing 🤣

- Florian (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly staff, welcoming. They assisted in everything and even send me my forgotten items. I like the location and the rooms too! They offer a variety of breakfast and lunch. Great for kids too!
- Green (8/5): I felt right at home here! - I felt right at home here! The location’s perfect—inside the old town, so you can walk around. The host was super friendly and helpful; she even booked a great tour to Balagezong for me. I also loved the dorm bed—it had a heated mattress, so I slept really well during my 2-night stay. Would totally stay again! The hair dryer is near the dorm beds, so I felt a bit uncomfortable using it early in the morning (around 6am). I was worried it might wake someone up.
- Fiona (9/5): Warm and comfy place to stay - Christina was really nice and she is everywhere !: she gave lots of advices about things to do in Shangri la, she cooked, she helped doing our laundry, she fixed the sink. Her family and her were friendly and introduced backpackers/foreign tourists between them.
Location was great, next to the dancing place but in a quiet street.
Clean and warm place to stay, thank you so much Nothing, it was great
- Domingo (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to Subway and main railway station.
The staff were really helpful.they will show where to go if you ask them.
Very clean bathroom and toilet
Comfortable bed and towel provided.
- Marco (9/5): Beautiful house, friendly hosts, tasty Korean food. -
- Jolanta (10/5): Highly recommend! - From the first time I loved this place. The atmosphere is so friendly here, that I could feel like with the good friends. The owners are friendly and very helpful. And speak English. Comfortable beds, warm duvets, electric blankets. Clean bathrooms. Washing machine and place to dry the clothes on the terrace. Delicious food (vegan options too). Travelers from over the world. And very good location.Highly recommend!

- Nichole (10/5): PERFECT. - Common areas, room and communal toilets were very clean. Host was very generous and helpful. Centrally located. It was perfect. Lots of travellers who speak English 😁
- Vako (9/5): Superb - The lady working there was very helpful with info, train tickey, etc. The place is clean amd has a reeto as well with good food and cheap beer. It's very near the old town. The wifi is ok too. The heating system was in the metress of the bed. Which was strange for me and I couldn't adopt with it and couldn't sleep much.
- Thuy (9/5): Nice and convenient place to stay. Friendly and helpful host. Highly recommend. Will stay again -

- 日艳 (2/5): Bad experience - Location ok The whole environment was local style.
But Very bad staying for me and it’s my first time to be in Shangri-la, it destroyed my first expression to this nice city.
The female host kept mentioning that my 6-female bedroom booking was very cheap, at least three times she mentioned this “cheap” price for my booking. I know it’s cheap but why kept saying this every time.
The first time she mentioned this shared bedroom “cheap price” was when I was doing my check in. She said this price little profit and really cheap.
Second time when I asked her about the shampoo and she said no offer for this shared room so I paid 3 yuan for it, ok never mind cos my booking no mention shampoo. And she enhanced this shared bedroom was very cheap so no offer shampoo.
The third time, she never mentioned I can use the locker in the room until I asked her why I didn’t have a key for this locker even there’s a deposit needed for it, and other roommates have the keys but she never mentioned to me.
she said cos I stayed only for a night and price was “cheap” and she “thought “ I wouldn’t need it. Those lockers was supposed for this 6-bedroom service. Anyway I did pay this “cheap “ price and should include this bloody locker.
It felt like cos I paid “cheap” price and only one night stay, so I didn’t deserve this.
If you can’t offer your service in a proper way why bother to make this bloody “cheap” booking available?
It’s really a bad experience I ever had to stay in a hostel especially so many international good comments in booking.
Very impressive.
By the way, the bed really shaking, I guess it must belong to this “cheap” price.
- James (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place but host really made it, also reasonably priced drinks and good quality food- that had me asking for the recipe.
- Larsaars (9/5): Superb - Was the only hostel in china where I actually met people! Super beautiful tiles in the bathroom (which is unimportant but still want to mention). Staff is super nice and helpful. Beautiful old town house.
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing hostel. Christy and her husband speak perfect english and the food is to die for. I wish I could have taken a lifetimes worth of her homemade Kimchi back with me to Australia. Also the coffee she makes is superb. N/A
- Lee (10/5): I was there 10 yrs ago, this place giving me a lot of good memories. - Feeling like home. Nothing.
- Zhijie (9/5): Superb -
- Porntavee (8/5): Very good - staff can speak English very well. none
- Marc (9/5): Good experience for beginners in travelling alone in China - Well located. Good breakfast at cheap price . Good help to move around. It is difficult to know early in the morning breakfast is available or not.
- Kim (10/5): Quaint rustic and warm Hostel - The rustic warmth of a homestay. Proximity to the vibrant night square where folk dancing is enjoyed every night.Lots of eateries nearby as well but the hosts also runs a small kitchen and you can get yummy food too. Nothing
- Lukrecija (9/5): Lovely and authentic hostel, would come back again - Very authentic hostel with very nice owners and travelers! Owners speak great English and if you need help they can provide assistance, like organise a tour for you and etc. They also have a restaurant so you can get food directly at the hostel. Liked by foreigners - made quite a few friends in the downstairs restaurant! :) Also the location is great, just on the end of the ancient town. The thing I really didn't like was that there was no soap in the toilets. All rooms share the same two toilets and so having no soap to wash your hands after is very unsanitary. And it's also one of those things which you forget to bring to the toilet every time you need to use it - in my stay in China I didn't have this problem in any other hostel. I understand about shower toiletries but I feel basics like soap should be available in the shared toilets.
Not necessarily a minus for me but the beds don't have any curtains or anything, so if you like some privacy you won't get it here. I really didn't mind it myself but in case it is useful to know for anyone else. :)
- Zhanni (9/5): Superb - Staff are very nice and experienced. Great place for hikers.
- Korbinian (10/5): Exceptional - The host helped me with organising and booking tours and the departure in the end. Even for booking a scooter. They were always friendly and supportive. The location is great since you can easily walk everywhere in the old town.
- Ho (10/5): Exceptional - In fact I extended my stay few more days. Jun and wife were helpful and certainly the yak 🍔, so gooood.
Thanks again for such a great time here. Wish I could stay longer.
I'm not finish with Shangri-la, my next trip.
And wish you all well.
- Ugo (10/5): Amazing time spent there, the owners are awesome and the food is good! I definitely recommend it! -
- Norihide (7/5): Good - Staffs are friendly and kind! Thanks to manager and his wife. I will definitely wish to stay again. Building is quite the old. Noise is easily heard especially at night time. If the hotel renovated, even better!
- Joana (9/5): Superb - I had a lovely stay at the Tavern. The owners were very nice and helpful. They can help arrange some hiking tours and can rent an electric scooter there too! I met really cool people, which was a bonus! The children (twins!) of the owner are angels.
- Muhammad (10/5): Perfect - Vibes
- Kim (10/5): they clean the bathrooms regularly so it’s really clean even if everyone shares it. the location is great, walking dista - good location, clean beds, clean bathroom, helpful owners
- Muhammad (10/5): Definitely worth every penny! - Located within the ancient town but in the quite zone. Good location Nothing. All good
- Aimee (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kenramarok (9/5): Superb - The owners are a very friendly couple who know how to be very helpful and available. You'll quickly feel at home. The cleanliness is impeccable. I recommend eating in. Very good value for money What I didn't like was the bed, I had the same problem elsewhere in China, it's too hard. It can interfere with sleep.
- Choo (10/5): Unforgettable experience - Owners were both really friendly. They clean the facilities every morning and it makes for a very comfortable stay! I enjoyed it so much. Bonus - I was able to meet like-minded people who made the stay even more enjoyable. Nil.
- May (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ariyaporn (10/5): The landlad -
- Paul-simon (9/5): Very friendly hostel - Perfect location and very friendly and helpful staff
- Florian (10/5): Super friendly and clean - A very cute hostel, clean, welcoming people and very helpful host. She gave me useful tips and helped me books some hike tours. Breakfast and lunch were also super nice. It was my best hostel experience in China, I highly recommend it.
- Hoare (10/5): Cosy & welcoming - Best hosts ever. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Comfortable beds and a warm cosy feeling to the entire Hostel, especially the common area.
Eat a dinner here, you won't regret it
- Karina (10/5): highly recommended - The best place to know the city of Shangri-la. The Jun family and staff are very kind and easy to get information about the city. The hostel is lovely and very comfortable. The shower is great, very warm for the cold days and always being clean. The night can sit around the wood stove, have tea and make new friends. Also has a diverse kitchen, I ordered some dishes with friends and it was all delicious! The location is also perfect, I did everything by walking. It would be perfect if the beds of shared dorms had curtains to maintain privacy.
- Célestine (10/5): Exceptional - This place is the best hostel we've had in China (and maybe Asia). The living room is very cosy, very suitable for taking a warm tea after a good hike, meeting other people from the hostel, or eating delicious food (chineese, corean and western dishes are available). The owner is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and cosy.
- Victoria (10/5): Lovely hostel, friendly staff! - Loved my stay! The hostel is within the old town, so the location is very convenient. Shared rooms have bedside lamps and electric blankets for warmth, bathrooms were also modern. The host was incredibly friendly and answered all my questions about different tourist attractions. She even helped me book a taxi to the airport on my last day! Thank you so much for your hospitality, would highly recommend this place to anyone travelling in Shangri-La!
- Anna (10/5): Feeling like home - This Hostel is the best I‘ve ever been to - I even stayed two nights longer than planned, even thoughthe weather forecast had predicted only rain.
The location is perfect - right on the Edge of the old town. But do NOT follow Google Maps, the Location is wrongly listed there - follow agoda or Booking
It is run by a young family. The owners speak English and are happy to help you with any questions or tour or Booking you would like to do. They also help save money wherever they can and have lots of connections.
The homemade dishes (Tibetan, Yunnan, Korean, Chinese, Western) are prepared with love and are very delicious.
If you don’t want to go out or you want to chat with other English-speaking backpackers, or the family itself, it‘s always fun to sit around the stove, have tea or hot water and talk about different cultures, experiences, ect. as if you were part of the family
Beds, rooms, bathroom, showers,… Everything is always perfectly clean Everything was perfect
- Elliot (10/5): Felt like being home. - Lovely warm beds and warm shower. Clean facilities. Really nice communal area with a fire place. The host family is so so nice. They served us hot fruit tea when we arrived. Delicious Korean, Western, or Chinese food. Nothing - it was perfect.
- Ying (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel is an original Tibetan house and run by a couple with the most romantic lovestory.
He, Korean, was backpacking through Shangri-la.
She, a local girl from one of the nearby villages, caught his eye.
They fell in love, got married and are now running the hostel conveniently located in the old town of Shangri-la. The food menu is a mixed of Western, local and Korean dishes, cooked by the lady of the house.
You are warmly welcomed and entertained by the couple and they will make your stay unforgettable!
- Rasmus (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel itself is really pretty. It's an old Tibetan house with a nice courtyard and a balcony on the first floor.
They serve excellent food all day. Try the Tibetan porridge or the yak meat burger.
Honestly one of the best hostels I've stayed in in Yunnan.
- Valentin (10/5): A lovely and comfy Tibetan wooden house - Christin the host welcomed me in a nice manner and was very kind. I came back a bit late for dinner but she still offered me to cook a delicious veggie bimbimbap, as her husband is Korean. She stayed with me to chat during the dinner which was very thoughtful.
Her kids are lovely and the family can offer tours as the husband - I didn't met - is a tour guide.
No worries for the few references on booking, they just moved from Hostelworld platform on September, where they had hundred.
The wooden house is really beautiful and cosy, authentical in a Tibetan style (she is from the Naxi people).
Showers are great, with warm air.
You can reach the Tavern hostel directly with the bus 1 from the Shangri-La railway station. And the location is at 8 minute from the monastery and very near the dance square, where you can experience dancing collectively in circle in the evening. Nothing
- Joost (10/5): Exceptional - Really hospitable hosts, good food (be sure to try the yak burger or bibimbap) and on a good location in the old town in Shangri-la. -
