Homestays in Anhui, China

We had to drag our luggages from the main road through the old street to the B&B without any help offered by the staff. And after check out, we had to ask for the staff to use a small trolley to help move our luggages to the main road, which demonstrated a lack of initiative from the staff in providing good service. Did not feel particularly warmly welcomed by the staff. Location-wise, it is good as it is right in the middle of the old street, very near to the river street and Laiyang old street. Breakfast was also so-so only. When I asked for fried egg, I was plainly told head boiled eggs are available.

The design is very stylish, with the lovely scent of books, tea, and flowers that I enjoy. In the evening, there's also a unique folk fish lantern experience! The service is very thoughtful and attentive, and the food is delicious! I was touched by the owner's ingenuity and dedication; her handwritten postcards and messages were truly healing. I really loved the tea garden behind the guesthouse. I could spend a whole afternoon sunbathing, listening to the rushing sound of the stream, just daydreaming, meditating, and clearing my mind!

My family chose this hotel for our May Day holiday, primarily drawn by its 'forest' vibe. We stayed for two nights, and overall, it was a great experience. First off, the location is super convenient. There are tons of restaurants nearby, and it's a quick drive or taxi ride to Huangshan North Station, Tunxi Old Street, and Xidi. Even though the hotel is on a hillside, there are convenient boardwalks for getting around. Second, the hotel's natural setting is a highlight. The main building blends seamlessly with its surroundings, without feeling artificial. Sitting in the lobby, looking out the windows and doors, it felt very traditional Anhui and incredibly relaxing. The moss on the hotel's corners and dark tiles added a charming, authentic touch. Third, the service was excellent. The staff were all very welcoming and spoke gently. They even gave us a Zhanji souvenir when we checked out, which was a thoughtful touch. Fourth, the rooms are spacious, and the amenities are quite well-appointed. The shower pressure was fantastic, and the bed was just the right level of comfortable. Lastly, I truly believe that anyone who puts so much care into running a guesthouse will undoubtedly earn a big thumbs up from their guests. I highly recommend staying here!

It was a great stay with ac cooled rooms, great bathroom and a nice view. I had the honeymoon type suite with the queensize bed. The hostess is Very friendly, she offered to make food after breakfast time, which was a little early for us with the time difference (+ 6 hours compared to the Netherlands). Also, she booked several taxi’s for us and was willing to be available even during late hours when we wanten to have a late night drink in the city. The location is suberb, just outside the local city and a 5 minutes taxi drive to the transfer station for the bus/Cable to Yellow mountain. The only downside was that the pool was empty. We were looking forward using this, the weather is very warm. All in all I would for sure go back in the future. Rufus

This guesthouse is located right inside Hongcun Scenic Area, super close to famous spots like Moon Pond and South Lake – just a three to five-minute walk. It's really convenient to get back after watching the fish lanterns at night. The paths within Hongcun can be a bit tricky, so it's a good idea to call the front desk when you arrive; they can help with luggage transfer. We stayed in a suite, which was very spacious, and the three beds were perfect for the three of us. It also had a private courtyard with a table, creating a lovely, ancient-style ambiance, complete with many small decorations perfect for photos. The guesthouse offers Hanfu and Qipao for guests to try on and even provides umbrellas. The auntie at the front desk and the uncle who helped with our bags were incredibly kind. We accidentally left something behind when we checked out, and they went out of their way to bring it back to us.

This guesthouse is nestled in a historic alley of Tunxi Old Street. It boasts convenient transportation and is surrounded by various restaurants and shops. They offer airport pick-up service, and the butler even comes out to help with luggage, showcasing their incredibly thoughtful service. The guesthouse is a renovated century-old building. The front hall and main entrance exude an antique charm with exquisite wood carvings and vintage furniture, all steeped in history. Staying here feels like a journey back in time to ancient Huizhou. The guest room area is spacious, bright, and impeccably clean with fresh air. The room's interior is very new, featuring modern facilities. The bathroom fixtures are Kohler, and the hairdryer is Dyson, ensuring a convenient and comfortable stay. This is a guesthouse run with genuine passion, and the owner clearly has a great appreciation for culture. It's a perfect blend of historical heritage and modern comfort. It exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend it.

The water heater is not convenient enough to take a bath. It is pulled up with a simple curtain. There is no glass door to isolate dry and wet. The curtains in the house are too long to hang on the ground and some dirty. The bedside is a bit loose. The sink faucet needs to be opened with hot water. The valve below, the sofa does not need to be easy to dirty in the house and occupy space. Changed to simple plastic stools is simple and hygienic. After checking out, there is a special aunt to clean up and clean the sheets, but it is recommended to do hot water, drinking water, hygiene and some details. Compared with simple hotels, about fifty or sixty yuan is still very competitive. But for users, it will be more comfortable to add some prices to choose a regular hotel chain.

This hotel is super close to the South Gate, and the staff, especially the ladies, are incredibly warm and attentive. The room was very clean, and while the window faces the street, there's a bit of noise in the morning, but it's fine if you're heading out early anyway. The room gets good light too. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet, which is great. The complimentary tremella soup was delicious and not too sweet. It's really convenient to be able to grab water from the dispenser right by the hotel entrance. The laundry room is on the first floor, which was perfect for washing all our clothes after hiking Huangshan in the summer. Breakfast is a set menu, but the portions are generous and the food is tasty. The hotel also provides contact info for electric scooter rentals, and you can pick up the scooter directly at the South Gate for a daily rental, which is super convenient for exploring nearby attractions.

Booked this place in advance before the new year for a trip to Huangshan on the fourth day of the ***** New Year. We were a family of three plus a friend, and the owner and his wife were very welcoming. The whole place was clean and tidy, and the location is great – just diagonally opposite the Xiaoyaoxi transfer station, a convenient 5-10 minute walk. If you're driving, you can just park right in front of the guesthouse. Highly recommended!
