The hosts at Aurora were some of the most helpful and welcoming that I've ever had. They greeted us with Tibetan tea on our arrival and when we left, they gave us a small gift bag. We visited during the Spring Festival so some things were closed and transport was not as available, they helped us with this issue. The hotel is located out of Old town and is a 15 minute drive away. They arranged private drivers for hire, drove us into town whenever we needed and helped us organize our COVID tests. They took us to the hospital and to the bus terminal and helped us plan everything. They spoke English and were always available on Wechat. They provide free breakfast and offer dinner on site. This family is so sweet and so extremely helpful! I will be returning simply because of how warm and welcoming they were.

The Tibet Guest house is run by a lovely family and I had an excellent stay. My room was great with a lovely balcony overlooking the gorge. The views are stunning. The son really helped me with all my hiking needs and I hiked the lower gorge right down by the river and the next day the upper gorge. I was taken to the start of both hikes. The food at the guest house was lovely and I ate there for 2 days. They are so friendly and welcoming it was a joy to be there. I also did all my washing. Everything was perfect for me and they arranged for my onward travel to Shangri La.

    Lovely warm beds and warm shower. Clean facilities. Really nice communal area with a fire place. The host family is so so nice. They served us hot fruit tea when we arrived. Delicious Korean, Western, or Chinese food.

    Great location, inside the ancient city so walking distance to restaurants, temples, shops… The owners were great host, Rose helped us with everything: tours, taxis, breakfast. Amazing decoration to get a real feeling of Shangri La style.
