Reviews for Banyan Tree Lijiang
We stayed in a jet pool villa for a long weekend over Dragon Boat Festival. The individual courtyards provide great peace and privacy for the guests. We did several tours through the hotel and found the price point quite reasonable. Tour quality was excellent, as was the English proficiency of our guide. I was unaware that many people stay a few days in Lijiang before continuing on to the Ringha Banyan Tree via hotel car. This seems like a fantastic option and I am somewhat sad we weren't able to make the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay anyway. Service was quite good. James, in particular, was always helpful and a delight to talk with. Upon his suggestion we attended the Beer Festival/BBQ at the resort. Food was terrific and the live band was truly amazing. Overall, another nice Banyan tree stay.

Our room is a villa, equipped with a massaging pool and the view of the Yu long mountain. Fantastic view and service. Location of the hotel is in the center of most of the tourist sites. (E.g. Shu he town, li jiang town, and the Yu long mountain) Go for a try if you have a chance!

Amazing Hotel. The scenery can not be describe, you must experience it. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the mountains and fresh air. Villas for families are very comfortable mine had a jet pool which was perfect for the cold. Amenities fragrances some of the best. The whole ecological programme caught my attention. In room dinning ok. Highly recommended.

I spent about 300 nights in hotels each year and this has to be one of my top 5. The view, the services, the food, the location...all top notch with little room for improvement. It was simply a wonderful expereince to stay here for a quick few days get away. The only complaint is that the bed was too soft, it is time to get new mattress.

My husband and I were totally enchanted staying at this exquisite resort, where architecture, interior decors and foods are fantastic! The setting takes your breath away! Almost every villa has its own commanding views of mountains and lush surroundings! The resort is also within walking distance to the very charming Shuhe old town, which is much more pleasurable to stroll in than in the Lijiang old town which has become way too commercialized in recent years.
