Dear Banyan Tree Lijiang This is not my first time to live in Banyan Tree. But this time make me have a very different experience then before.

“Great staff and poor hardware”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I had very high expectation of my Banyan Tree stay before booking my Yunan trip, however, I was truly disappointed. I have been quite busy this year so finally got around to write this review. So maybe things have changed/improved in the past 8 months, but certainly did NOT live up to my expectation in December. First, the good. Staff.... More

Dear Nelly L, I am happy to say that things have certainly changed since your visit last December with regards to the heating in both the Spa and the guest rooms. Several months ago we installed under carpet heating in all the spa treatment rooms and have recently received approval from our owning company to install under floor heating in... More

“Magical Setting”

Reviewed August 16, 2016

I really enjoyed the Banyan Tree Lijiang. We spent time at 4 of their resorts on a recent trip to China, this was perhaps my favorite in terms of setting and accommodations. The pool villa was private and serene with mountain views along with large sitting area and private yard. The grounds are impressive and the staff first rate. It... More

“Good views and room - but absolutely not worth the expense”

Reviewed August 12, 2016

We stayed in a beautiful villa with a garden and hot tub and views of the jade mountain when it was visible. But the service was sub-par - the waiters in both restaurants we ate at have no training whatsoever. It was really surprising. They do not know how to pour wine, a $20 glass of wine was barely a...

“Great experience”

Reviewed July 13, 2016 via mobile

Beautiful hotel set in a beautiful location. All staff very friendly and warm. Definitely need bug spray if staying at this hotel. Spa was amazing. Room size and amenities were great. Breakfast was great. Did not love the dinner options. Walking distance to a cute part of town.

Thank alynn123

Dear Alynn, Thanks for posting your comments regarding your stay last week. Unfortunately the flies are always pretty bad at this time of year throughout this region. It improves as the weather gets colder at the end of the rainy season. In the meantime we do the best we can to mitigate the problem. Thanks again, Nigel Fisher General Manager More

The resort itself is great and really we were won over by the stunning views across to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Our villa came with a private jacuzzi which was splendid for relaxing in.

“Banyan Tree Lijiang is far behind luxury hotel standards. It is the wrost ever luxury hotel I have ever stayed.”

Reviewed June 11, 2016

I strongly recommend Banyan Tree management to pay a special attention to Banyan Tree Lijiang Hotel service. As the first Banyan Tree hotel in China, it has been in a business for almost ten years, however, its service is far behind the minimum standard from any luxury brand hotels in the world. For our Lijiang trip, I arranged our last... More

“Choose Banyan Tree to enjoy the resort for itself only !”

Reviewed May 29, 2016

Don't choose Banyan Tree if you do loads of sightseeing . Given the costs involved in staying here, as in all Banyan Tree resorts , they are best maximised if you stay within the hotel to enjoy its inhouse ambience and facilities ! The surrounding mountain view; waterways and pools throughout the resort is incredibly relaxing and peaceful . However,... More

Dear TanClan, Interesting comments! I have never looked at it that way before... But thank you for the kind comments about our property.
