The most beautiful place we have ever been: a well designed Tibetan style cottages overlooking the vast river valley grasslands with surrounding snowy mountains in the distance. The sound of the cowbell and wind blowing over the trees is most soothing. The staff are so friendly and helpful, especially Doima, the manager, who help us arranged the day tours and even our luggage storage in town after our check out. We are also very impressed with Banyan’s policy in observing the environments and their detailed design in promoting the local culture history in their cottages. Thank you, Banyan RINGHA. HsiaoLing

Wonderful experience and unique location, will come next time

A room in a typical farm house in a Tibetan village, what could be better for relaxing ? Hotel is so beautiful and his Tibetan staff is perfect

Our experience at Banyan Tree Ringha was exceptional from start to finish. We were welcomed with warming ginger tea and an efficient check-in. Our room was huge, with authentic interior design that reflected the local region. We stayed in a spa room, so had a separate area for treatments, along with the most stylish bath tub I've ever seen - just what tired legs needed after a day of hiking! We also treated ourselves to a spa treatment, which was hands down the best massage I've ever had. The therapists are extremely knowledgeable and provide an exceptional spa experience. Location-wise, the hotel is in a quiet village, next to a stunning river and surrounded by open countryside. It's about a 20 minute drive in ShangriLa, but we spent the whole time enjoying the nearby walks. But like all truly exceptional hotels, what really sets it apart is the staff. They provide a warm, genuinely welcoming service, and are constantly thinking about how to make your stay even better. They even arranged a special birthday dinner with a local Tibetan family, so we could learn more about the culture and experience authentic cuisine. It was so much fun! And the food was delicious... Can't wait to come back!

Peaceful and Relaxing

Although it is a little bit further away and the road was not completely paved, Banyan Tree Ringha has the most friendly staff I have ever encountered. They made the discomfort of adjusting to higher attitude much bearable. The rooms are big and clean with lots of local flair. The meals are delicious but a little pricy. I would totally come back again.

The room was beyond my expectations, especially for the money. The setting was peaceful and serene, and worth checking out. But the staff was not trained to support a high class experience that I come to expect from the Banyan Tree. I don't blame the individuals, as it was clear they lacked any sort of professional training. Dinner was a bad experience, breakfast not much better.
