Homestays in Henan, China

Excellent location and staff was ready to help anytime. It felt like we're staying in an ancient Chinese castle with modern amenities. Room was well sound-proofed and we could turn in early for the night even though night market was bustling with visitors. Delicious breakfast was available right before Li Jing Gate. Use Google translate to communicate with staff if you can't speak mandarin.

This location is heaven on earth. Surrounded by mountains that take on the form of Buddha. You sit right in the palm of a blessed spot. It is family owned and they treat you like family while you are there. By far some of the kindest people you will meet on your trip. Food is fantastic and homemade. There is a rooftop spot you can relax at, have tea, and even enjoy your meal there. The Shaolin temple is just a short walk from the hotel, and the owners will offer to drive you every time. Make sure to stay here if you are in the area. You will not regret it.

It's all just wonderful! The hotel is very nice and is located in an amazing position, inside the old city and next to the Ancient city. There are a lot of shops around the area where you can eat. The staff is so great, kind and helpful. Absolutely recommend as the best choice to stay in the beautiful Luoyang!

Cleanliness: Tidy and spotless, the environment is quite nice. It's close to attractions and offers great value for money, highly recommended! 👍🏻 There's a small courtyard which is very cozy. The front desk staff was friendly and even walked us to the entrance of the scenic area.

Open the window and gaze upon a thousand years of history, with the Luo River flowing right outside. This B&B is nestled inside Lijing Gate, a traditional courtyard of green bricks and grey tiles, offering an authentic Luoyang experience. The room was clean and elegant. The owner's hand-drawn tourist map was thoughtful and incredibly useful, and they even gifted us peony cakes as a souvenir. After exploring Shizi Street at night, I returned to the terrace to enjoy a cup of tea, watching the ancient city lights twinkle. It felt as if I was living in history itself. The location is superb, convenient for visiting Longmen Grottoes and White Horse Temple. It's not a cold hotel, but a warm home. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

I had a very satisfying stay here, and it was excellent value for money. The location is superb; Gulou (Drum Tower) is right across the street, and it's incredibly convenient for shopping and visiting the ancient city. The subway station is also close by. I booked a room with a mahjong/card room because I wanted a king-sized bed, and since it was too hot to go out during the day, we spent our time indoors – it even saved us the cost of renting a mahjong room elsewhere. The butler service was also very attentive and responsive to all our requests. The entire guesthouse offers a quiet escape in a bustling area, and it's quite spacious. The decor perfectly embodies a traditional Chinese aesthetic.

A delightful and surprising find during our trip. The B&B was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with tasteful decor that showed meticulous attention to detail. The room was quiet, ensuring a very restful stay. The owner was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and kind. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, ideal for unwinding after a journey, especially for short trips. I'll definitely be back!

The room's design perfectly matched my aesthetic! The huge floor-to-ceiling window was like a natural landscape painting; every morning, pulling back the curtains and letting the sunlight stream in just brightened up my mood. The room has a three-zone layout, making it spacious and open. What surprised me most were the hardware facilities – not only a large-screen TV but also very high-end bathroom amenities, including a huge bathtub. A good soak in the evening just washed away all the day's fatigue. As for the service, I have to give a big shout-out to the owner and the butler! There was absolutely no commercial distance; instead, it felt like visiting old friends, very warm and welcoming.

Like coming home, receiving thoughtful care everywhere. Mo Shang Yi Su, though called a B&B, has long surpassed the typical 'agritainment' style. Its facilities rival those of a star-rated hotel, but with an added warmth and human touch that high-end hotels often lack. When I wanted to visit the Shaolin Temple scenic area, the proprietress said, ”Wait a moment, I'll drive you there.” Upon getting out, she didn't forget to remind me, ”Remember to call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up.” It was only about 600-700 meters, but it was incredibly heartwarming. As the sun set, the proprietress had already hosed down the rooftop terrace, suggesting we could go up and sit. After dinner, the entire B&B was filled with the scent of agarwood. Each floor also had an elegant tea room. After a day of sightseeing, the proprietress asked, ”What would you like to eat? We'll cook for you.” After ordering, she said, ”You can go back to your room first, we'll call you when the food is ready.” It truly felt like being at home. Before I left, the proprietress thoughtfully gave me a parting gift, allowing me to take some of that warmth home with me. As I checked out, the second-generation young man who drove me to the station shared some simple yet profound words: ”When we run a B&B, we don't compete with farm stays. We just focus on providing excellent service. We try our best to meet our guests' needs. If there's something we can't do, we find someone to help. And for requests guests haven't even made, we try to be thoughtful and proactive, striving to ensure guests leave with no regrets.” I wish the B&B family all the best and continued success!

This hotel is located inside the scenic area's pedestrian street. It's about an 8-10 minute walk from where you get off the car. The room was quiet, with high-quality amenities. Breakfast was clean and fresh (starts at 7 AM, but people were already eating at 6:45 AM). The mattress was comfortable, and the air conditioning was powerful. The staff spoke softly and politely. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the inner courtyard because there were a lot of aggressive mosquitoes there around 7 PM. What was really disappointing was the restaurants within the scenic area. We went to the largest one, Longmen Food Stall, and everything was leftovers. The potstickers were reheated in the microwave, and the carp was refried. I advise everyone to avoid eating there. It would be a huge bonus if the hotel offered its own dining options or could recommend reliable, fresh restaurants to guests. Thank you!
