Jacky's Guesthouse has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Yuanyang. The accommodation features room service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, rooms at the hostel also boast free WiFi, while some rooms include a mountain view. Jacky’s place was awesome and Jacky himself went above and beyond. He speaks English which is so helpful. He picked us up at the train station in Jianshui. His place was very nice and our room had a view of the terraces. He is also an excellent cook - we ate all but one meal there for the 2 days we stayed and each meal was exceptional. He gave us an itinerary for our half day in his village and we went in the rice terraces it was awesome. On our way out we were going to train to Xuishuangbanna but he said a bus would be way faster and dropped us at the bottom of the mountain to catch the bus. Would recommend to anyone.

The guest house provides mountain views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. A beautiful mountain B&B lodge located near Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, around 10 minutes walk to the exit point of famous MTLG, Zhuoma's son, Dawa offered to drive us there for free, taking around 3 minutes. Room is clean and spacious with the amenities we need. What we love most is the outdoor balcony, where we like to just sitting there, enjoying the magnificent mountain view and Jinsha River or having a coffee or tea with a book in hand, very relaxing.....which even reminds of our past stay in the chalet in the Swiss Alps, fantastic. Zhuoma, the hostess and whole family are very friendly and helpful, working hard and closely, providing us for information and tips for the hiking and trials, we had some good conversations with the family during the stay, both she and her son Dawa are super chef, cook delicious breakfast and dinner for us with a very reasonable price. During our stay, as part of the property is under renovations, Zhuoma made explanations and sincere apology us for the various inconvenience caused, which we understand and accepted. After traveling world and staying many small places, Zhuoma's place is one special in our memory, we are glad to meet and talk to them during our travel, wish them a very good success for their business and life in the future

At the guest house, all units come with a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and slippers, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi, while selected rooms are equipped with a patio. At the guest house, every unit includes bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful stay at Timeless Inn. On arrival we were greeted with fresh tea and snacks. Our host Rose was very responsive to our needs as guests, especially when our daughter was not feeling well. She made our stay special, making us feel like friends or family that were visiting. Rose served us both Asian and Western breakfast depending on the day, both were delicious. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable, very clean. We enjoyed to hang out in the dining room and the he 2nd floor balcony. We highly recommend Rose's place if you visit Shangri-la.
