Homestays in Xingping

Laoija is a very authentic house in a beautiful scenery, unspoiled by the mass tourism so far. Haibo is extremely nice and helpful, the food is basic but very tasteful. We did a lot of hiking, one day with Haibo's mother. Very inspiring.

This is the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever been to. Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The hosts very extremely welcoming and friendly. We were really impressed.

An absolutely wonderful hotel in the heart of Yangshuo Old Street. The narrow facade is one large room in width, from which there is access to a small courtyard, from the courtyard there is another room (it serves as a dining room for breakfast, breakfasts are excellent), then a staircase to the top (there are just rooms for guests), and then a kitchen-type room, from which there is access to the other side of the building. That is, a series of rooms runs through from the front facade of the building to the back. There are many pots of flowers at the entrance, including this lively, blooming and wonderfully smelling gardenia. In the first room, where any guest enters, there is a coffee shop where delicious coffee is brewed (including served for breakfast). The video, however, shows everything. In addition to the hostess of the hotel (sometimes, especially after sunset, her husband comes), the guests are greeted by a kind, red-haired, like a fox, dog. There is another, already large, dog in the backyard , but it is kept in a booth, it is watchful and serious. There is a free laundry room in the room upstairs, and next to it is a room where 4 cats live, all completely different colors and breeds, wonderfully beautiful, and there the whole room is equipped for them, they have sun beds, toys… The breakfasts are excellent and classic (scrambled eggs, bacon, bread toast, croissants, bananas and melon, orange juice). And coffee, real and delicious. I was genuinely surprised that finding delicious coffee in China wasn't a problem at all. Moreover, it tastes better than in Moscow (and in Moscow coffee is delicious, you won't find it anywhere else in the world, except in Sumatra, Bali and China). Even in the Chinese province there are coffee shops where, for example, delicious osmanthus latte is brewed.

The staff was so helpful and arranging! They kindly recommended restaurants and sightseeing places around the hotel, and helped us when we had mixed up our booking dates. The room had a nice view and was beautifully decorated. I highly recommend the Chinese breakfast, which was the best we had in a hotel in China.

The hotel is very close to the center, but at the same time it is in a very quiet area. The rooms were very clean and had everything you needed and the best thing was Kate and the people who work there, very generous and kind. She made our stay much easier with her recommendations and attention. Without a doubt an excellent option, we had a great time.

Amazing host, help me plan my itinerary for Yangshuo. The room was spacious and the view was amazing. Really close to the west street.

An Unforgettable Stay I cannot recommend this place enough! This lodge is definitely a true hidden gem. It’s conveniently located at the heart of Yangshuo’s downtown, closed to the famous shopping street, Xijie Street, and all other famous attractions. The rooms are beautifully designed in modern comforts, spacious, and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and most stunning thing is “there is an elevator!!” inside the lodge. We did not have to walk all to way up to 6th floor. We just had more than we expected and needed for a perfect stay. The host is a lovely couple and they are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request. They are also professional tour guides and help planned our itinerary to explore and experience the Yangshuo local attractions. They made us feel like part of the local family and complete our travel effortless. All in all, this lodge is absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a decent retreat with exceptional services and a genuine local experience, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be returning!!

Very nice staff, great restaurant and high-quality room.

After endless adventures around China, we finally landed in this corner of paradise surrounded by greenery. We arrived in Yangshou by boat along the Lì river, from the city center a comfortable taxi took us to the structure in about 15 minutes. The welcome from a young boy was very cordial, he accompanied us to a beautiful room with a breathtaking view of the hills also offering us a plate of fresh fruit. The cleanliness and comfort of the room was excellent. Spacious, bright and with a large and very comfortable bed. A few steps away on foot you could reach the river and walk along the long path that runs along it or rent an electric scooter for a few Yuan for the whole day. I had breakfast included and it was really tasty. In addition, the girl I later met named Tan, very kind and hospitable and who speaks English very well, recommended a restaurant that can be reached in a few minutes on foot and that was truly exquisite. In the surrounding area there are also small markets and many restaurants. During the stay, which lasted too little, Tan was very helpful. She accompanied us in the morning to buy fruit and vegetables at the local market and then cooked dinner together preparing delicious typical dishes. On the last day she also offered to accompany us to the train station which was 50 minutes away by car also suggesting that we go see the nearby village called Xingping. In short I don't know what else to add. It was my best stay I had in China. I highly recommend going to explore this part of China and meet these fabulous people in this very welcoming structure.
