Homestays in Anhui, China

Warm courteous welcome and place to stay .Breakfast was light, nourishing and sufficient Excellent cleanliness and privacy Would book again by all means. Photos of nearby street scenes and corners on Tunxi Old Street, nearby the hotel.

The hotel is beautifully designed. As architects, we loved the interior. The staff was very welcoming and we were greeted with homemade snacks. When we wanted to go town to buy some groceries, they offered to drive us there - very pleasant. Not much to reach in walking distance. There was a lantern festival in the nearby town and the hotel owners took us there - we were the only tourists. Very funny experience. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel which was freshly cooked. Especially dinner was very nice. Our room had an amazing view to the mountains and a very spacious size. The bathroom was amazing. What surprised us is that we couldn’t go up the hills surrounding the hotel because of wild animals. We saw some monkeys which seems scary. It’s necessary to use the hotel’s transfer to the mountain gate. We would come back in the summer time when it’s sunny 😊

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

Before coming to Hongcun, I didn't have high expectations, thinking it would just be another old village to visit and leave. However, my stay at 'Hongcun Yike Homestay' made me feel that every detail of this trip radiated warmth. Upon arriving at Hongcun bus station, I was unfamiliar with the area and was stressing about how to drag my luggage across the stone-paved paths to the homestay while looking at a map. The moment I called, the owner's enthusiastic voice immediately put me at ease: 'Wait there, I'll be right over to pick you up!' In less than ten minutes, the owner appeared on an electric scooter, swiftly tied my luggage to the vehicle, and cheerfully motioned for me to hop on. We weaved through Hongcun's winding alleys and past bustling crowds of tourists. The homestay was tucked away in a quiet lane near Moon Pond, an excellent location. You could see Moon Pond just around the corner, yet it was peaceful and quiet – truly an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the courtyard, I was captivated by this homestay, a renovated Huizhou-style building. The exquisitely carved porch, wooden corridors, and rustic private courtyard exuded the unique elegance and serenity characteristic of Huizhou homes. Inside the room, it was bright and clean. The antique-style wooden bed paired with a soft mattress offered both classic charm and comfort. The night was exceptionally quiet, and I slept soundly. Early the next morning, I opened the window to a beautiful view of the Huizhou-style horse-head walls in the morning light, distant mountains draped in lush greenery, and the nearby sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers. It truly felt like living inside a traditional Chinese ink wash painting. On the day of my departure, the owner drove me to the bus station as usual, reminding me of other places I hadn't visited in Hongcun along the way. Before saying goodbye, the owner pulled out a packet of chrysanthemum tea from the trunk, handed it to me, and smiled, saying, 'This is our local chrysanthemum tea, take it home and try it.' Holding that packet of tea, my heart felt warm. Staying here truly felt like returning to an old friend's home in Huizhou, thoughtful and considerate in every way. 'Yike Homestay' truly lives up to its name – making one feel 'at ease' (逸) and so content that guests (客) forget to leave. Next time I'm in Hongcun, I'll definitely stay here again.

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!
