The Bivou Lijiang anmeldelser

Staying here is akin to basking in warm sunshine in the cold winter. From the moment we stepped into the grounds, the warm welcome and sincerity of staff members such as May, Daisy, Dada and Qing are keenly felt. The close proximity of the clean and well-maintained Bivou to quaint shops and flowing streams and ponds allowed us to maximise our time where we enjoyed tasty and unique Yunnan cuisine, culture and places of scenic beauty. The well-designed Bivou included an organic herb and vegetable grounds and the engaging in-house tours and activities such as nature journalling are very educational. The hotel and its practices are an eco-haven and it is wonderful to be surrounded by luscious sprawling nature. The food at Bivou cafe is wholesome and served with much dedication and care. We enjoyed our stay and the company of “Heimi”cat, “Corny” sheep, a goat and dogs that visited us. We will recommend The Bivou as our preferred hotel in Shuhe, Lijiang.

Really appreciated the calm and beauty of the well designed boutique hotel. Friendly and attentive staff made us feel at home. It is worth making the way to this hotel, far from the madding crowd in Dayan Ancient town.

The location is great, 5-10 mins walk from north gate of 束河古镇. Service is Wonderful and staff make you feel at home. The top rated Huya coffee is nearby,.and also the 九鼎龙潭water catchment area. 闹中取静 stay for a quick stop at 丽江. Had a wonderful time and.experience Mooncake making lesson organized by the hotel during Mid Autumn Festival stay. The dining hall is overlooking a small farm of herbs and vegetables. I would recommend staying here if you are coming to LiJiang, SuHe GuZhen 束河古镇. P/S: They offer free baggage service from the entrance(picture).

Outstanding hotel! Perfect location within the Old City close to entrance gate to the Old City. Comfortable accommodation and lovely and varied breakfast. Staff friendly, polite and helpful. Option to dine at the hotel with both Chinese and Western food available. Tasty and reasonably priced. Also Happy Hour available daily with reductions in costs for wine, beer and cocktails. Would thoroughly recommend.

Bivou is a gem in Yunnan. The service staff are extremely helpful and go the extra mile to make you feel like you’re at home. I was assigned a room surrounded by greenery, and the feeling when you look out the windows was amazing especially when it rains. They maintain the space very well and there were no bugs in the room despite all the plants outside. They have in house activities if you wish to have a rest day from the touristy stuff. Food was delicious too - I think they use the produce that they plant themselves so it’s very fresh. South East Asians would be glad to know there’s kaya and milo available for breakfast! I couldn’t catch everyone’s names but big shout out to all the hardworking staff there including Xuexue, May and Layla for making my stay so lovely.

The Bivou is located in the old town of Shuhe which is less busy compared to the Lijiang Old Town. The service was great at the hotel. We particularly enjoyed the traditional breakfast. We would definitely stay again!

One of the best stays I had in China ~ Facilities were cosy and very clean; the staff were also extremely welcoming, very accommodating and eager to provide guidance on exploring Lijiang (I do really want to highlight that Bivou has a huge list of self organised tours and various workshops, making it a one stop place for your Lijiang travels!). As a big plus, the onsite bivou cafe also provided a decent mix of very tasty local / international food. Not forgetting to mention that it is located at the heart of Shuhe Ancient Town, making it a very convenient spot for you to travel around to various local attractions and enjoy local delicacies.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

Highly recommend Bivou! Quiet location surrounded by beautiful gardens and creeks. Very modern and stylish rooms and eating area. A special thank you to all the staff, but especially one staff member (aunty), who was incredibly kind, making me feel comfortable despite experiencing an illness while in Lijiang.

This is quite possibly the best hotel I’ve ever been to in China. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They helped us organize day trips and tours, and had lots of insights and resources for exploring the local area on our own. The breakfast and in-house restaurant was delicious and fresh- especially their house-made chili sauce. Our rooms were beautiful and had lovely little touches to make our stay really comfortable. We felt like we were staying with family the whole time, and cannot wait to come back.

Cosy rooms. Parking was not available onsite. Our driver had to park a distance away and Hotel staff would assist in transporting our luggages from our car to the hotel, and vice versa.

Truly a boutique hotel experience. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the proprietor had some great suggestions about what to do in the area. The staff there was generally very friendly and helpful. This is also one of the few places in Shuhe where you can find an artisanal cocktail (they have a partnership with a craft cocktail bar in Singapore) which is very cool.

Lovely place with cute resident cat.

I've said this before and I'd say it again. Bivou has attentive staff who offer excellent service. This is a boutique resort, but it has all that you would need. The food is delicious, always a good alternative to the more touristy options in the other parts of the old town.
