“An incredible place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

In April, my husband and I took part in a photo retreat at the Linden Centre. We stayed there for eight days and nights. Each day was a wonderful adventure that began with a great breakfast and ended with a delicious dinner. During the day we visited interesting villages and experienced the culture of the Yunnan province. The accommodations and... More

“Fond memories”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013

Sorry for taking so long to review the Linden centre. Stayed for 4 nights in Sept 2012 with my 86 year old father and also my Chinese friend. From entering to leaving, the centre employees were polite and extremely helpful. Admittedly they took a liking to my father and his age and excellent health. The location of the 3 courtyards...

Thank you very much for your kind words, and we are thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay. Many guests comment on our unique location, which is a far cry from the busy city life many travelers experience in China. Because part of our mission is to encourage guests to explore this special village and learn... More

“Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2013 via mobile

Stayed here for two nights with two small children. The hotel itself is stunning and the staff are great. The surrounding village of Xizhou is extremely attractive. Went on some excellent bike rides in the nearby countryside, including alongside the beautiful lake Erhai. Really enjoyed the market tour organised by the hotel. Hope to return soon.

I recently had the privilege of staying at the Linden Center with my two young boys and my parents. From the moment we set foot in the beautiful, restored manor house, we felt welcomed by the amazing staff. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped and our every need was met immediately.

“A Photojourney in Yunnan”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013

This two-week trip to Yunnan Province, China, was a wonderful experience, photographically and culturally. Brian and Jeanee Linden, along with their staff, were such gracious hosts, meeting us in Kunming and escorting us to The Linden Centre, where we stayed for about a week before heading up to Shangri-La. The Centre has been beautifully restored, and I couldn't ask for... More

“Great hotel - great service - great people - great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

The name can fool you - named after the Linden family. But it is a great hotel designed from a large private residence at the edge of beautiful fields and a very short walk to the old town of Xizhou which is a wonderful and non-commercialized little village. The rooms are beautiful and modern. The staff, which includes a few... More
