Banyan Tree Ringha

I unexpectedly got a bout of high altitude sickness... When the staff Anna and Henry noticed my difficulty they immediately suggested I go the hospital and have myself checked which was the most practical and effective solution... They both stayed with me thru the duration of the medical procedure... I'm very grateful for all their assistance Great accommodations... The staff is very attentive to the guests and makes everyone feel at home...

The hotel is quaint and locally decorated, to which you can never find a comparative in the world. The Tibetan style makes a true paradise or a Shangri-La for those who like to try something new and exotic. The room provides a window for us to learn and taste the life of local people. We were welcomed by Miller, Allan, Andrew and Zhuo'ma. It was a nice adventure, thanks to their excellent services and kind assistance.

A friend recommended the Banyan Tree Ringha and are we glad he did. Mario and his staff provided us with a most memorable experience. Our renovated Tibetan farm house was spectacular and provided views second to none. I booked a surprise private birthday dinner for my significant other in the BT yurt. The experience was second to none with no detail left unturned including surprise room decorations upon our return. Mario also took time out from his day off to take us on a hike in the hills which provided for more spectacular scenery. Every member of the staff we encountered went out of their way to make sure our experience was memorable and it surely was. We also made a scheduling error with our next hotel in Tengchong. The Banyon Tree staff booked us another room and also provided us with a pick up and transportation to hotel from the airport. If we are ever in the Shangri-la area again, we will make sure to repeat our stay

We budgeted a week for our honeymoon in Yunnan and was debating on whether to make a 2-day trip to Shangri-la, and boy did we make a right decision to come and stay at the Banyan Tree Ringha. We arrived in a Banyan Tree car and it felt like we have left civilization for a remote village in a different era where local Tibetan culture was preserved extremely well. The staff's warm Tibetan welcome with khata, thoughtfulness in acclimating us to high elevation of 10,000+ feet, and the extra touch of decorating the room for our honeymoon made us feel we're a special guest to a local Tibetan farmer. The farmhouse is beautifully renovated to both preserve the local tradition and update for modern amenities. The two-stories suite included a loft-style upstairs with bedroom, study, multiple seating and dining areas, and a traditional fireplace. By local customs all vanities are located downstairs with animals but don't worry there's only modern bathroom amenities plus a traditional barrel bathtub, which makes a romantic domestic activity. Overall our short stay was extremely pleasant. Dressing up as Tibetan Tashi and Drolma, sitting on the balcony sipping tea while enjoying the still landscape, and strolling up the hills in the morning to take in the view of the entire village were unique and relaxing. The trip served as a gateway to understand Tibetan culture and a great getaway from city living.

Just back from Ringha BT. This is the most different BT property I'm ever been. A nice place to relax and retreat. Just like a farm stay. No noise, only animals. Super nice team under Mr Mario. U feel like friends handling all your issues. Very well arrangement for my day trip to visit the local and monastery. We be back for sure.
