Yi County Homestays

This time I booked two rooms, received friends to start a happy trip to Huizhou, entered the south gate of Hongcun Scenic Area and walked 50 meters to reach an Huizhou building near the lake, which is very convenient for travel. Entering the park, it is suddenly open, the pure Huizhou garden owner is exquisite and elegant, it is rare that there will be such a large courtyard in this simple village and town, the rooms and halls are also surprises, the configuration of the homestay is quite comprehensive, from use to food, are high-end brands, I feel that the owner of the homestay is too low-key. I can't see the introduction of these configurations from the outside Internet. I only know their low-key and unspeakable. I highly recommend 👍🏻 in one sentence.

Huizizai was a B&B that entered my favorites three years ago. Unfortunately, the trip was canceled due to the sudden epidemic, but after looking through many B&Bs three years later, I finally chose it. After this stay, the overall quality is OK, but it did not meet expectations. One is the location. On the one hand, I chose it because it would be quieter outside Hongcun, but in fact, on the night of check-in, there was a party in the parking lot outside the window. It's almost 10 o'clock... In addition, because it is not too far from the road, there will be the sound of cars, and the hotel's sound insulation is not very good, so it can't be regarded as a quiet hotel overall. The second is service. This should be the first homestay I live in that didn’t add me on WeChat in advance, and didn’t take the initiative to post any precautions, travel suggestions, etc. I’ll take the initiative to ask where I can go later. Extended itinerary suggestions are offered proactively. The on-site service is okay, and will provide help when you ask. The design of the public area of ​​the hotel is good. The combination of bamboo and sunlight is what attracted me at first, but the room design and facilities are relatively inferior. Overall, if you live in a basic room type, I think the price of 600 to 700 can be recommended. If you set the price of 1000+, I think there are better choices.

This is one of the most delightful guesthouses I’ve stayed at in China. The building itself is beautiful. The service is impeccable. The food is delicious (I had dinner and breakfast there). They have free bikes and nice maps of the vicinity. I’m really glad I stayed in Bishan; felt much less touristy than Xidi or Hongcun and it has a branch of the librarie avant-gardes bookstores. It’s a solid hour from the high-speed rail, ask them to organize car for you.

This location was perfect and right in the scenic area of hongcun. It’s a little difficult to find at first but once you find it it’s easy to come back to if you put it in the maps app. The town is so cute and we were welcomed with little Hand-made bookmarks which was so sweet and a wonderful surprise. The one thing that was off putting and probably a one off is it seemed that there was a large family staying in the Homestay and in the middle of the night there was screaming and doors slamming on and off throughout the night. I’m not sure if this is a regular thing or just happened to be a one night thing but it was a bit frightening. Other than that the location was very quiet when we got there and the owner was very helpful with any questions we had throughout our stay.

The first time I lived in a house with 200 years of history! Parts of it looks like a museum, but the rooms are modernized in a nice way! Seriously, it looks like a fancy tea place or a private mansion, never expected a hotel like this! The owner lady was very nice, showed the way to the place (navigation in the village is a bit difficult for a newcomer) and helped to change the room to a single bed when heard that my friend was not coming. Very friendly approach! I would recommend this place to anyone, who would like to get an authentic experience of Hongcun village!

Zhang Mansion is really worth staying in. Unique location: Located in the Hongcun scenic area, you can go back at any time after playing, very convenient. The taste of antiquity: inside and outside the room, everything and a scene, all kinds of furnishings are very attractive, and there is also a starling who can say ”Hello”. Elegant supplies: Hermes for washing, Dyson for hair dryer, Evian water, and beautiful teapot. Thoughtful service: I rely on the owner's car to check my luggage when I come in and check out. I am very proactive and not afraid of trouble, and help me contact the carpool to Huangshan. Although there are episodes, the solution is perfect. The only disadvantage is that the sound insulation is not good. After all, it is an old wooden house, but it does not affect it, because the quality of the guests staying is relatively high. At 10:30 in the evening, there is no sound and you can fall asleep at ease. So the overall experience was great! Recommended to everyone.

Generally speaking, B&Bs should not be compared with star-rated hotels in big cities. Under this premise, Qilingqilu B&B is still very good. It's very close to the south gate and parking lot, just a 3-minute walk. When you arrive at the south gate of the parking lot, the store will send someone to pick you up. Your luggage will be delivered to the door of your hotel room without the need for guests to do anything. The same is true when you leave the hotel, so don't worry about luggage in the scenic area. The young man who took care of us this time was very enthusiastic and helpful. The B&B is also very close to the famous Maoyue scenic spot, and other scenic spots in the scenic area are also very convenient. The room is not very big but clean and tidy. There is no problem with the hot water supply and it is enough to wash away the fatigue. The room is also quite quiet without the sound of tourists, which will not affect the guests' dreams. There are many restaurants in the surrounding area. Dinner at Tian Ding Canteen is very popular, and you may have to wait for half an hour if you happen to be there. Breakfast is only 2 minutes away, and the fried dough sticks, soy milk and noodles are okay. I am writing this for everyone’s reference. Anyway, I will recommend it to my friends. Hongcun is mainly about seeing the Hui-style architecture and beautiful scenery. There are many small alleys that give you a sense of the times, so don’t get tired. .

The hotel is located in the innermost part of the scenic area, and the boss will drive out to pick it up. The parent-child three-person room has a reasonable design and a minimalist layout. The boss is very caring, and the air conditioner has been turned on before check-in. There is a terrace where you can sit and rest when it is not hot, and you will see a good view. Very good breakfast, white porridge corn sweet potato, side dishes and steamed buns, steamed buns and fried dough sticks and milk. Oh, and the boss is a fan of Ronaldo. There is a classic photo of Ronaldo being shoveled by Maldini and Cannavaro.

Environment: The homestay is about 10 minutes walk from Hongcun. The homestay is a small yard. The whole is very nice and quiet. I like this environment very much. Hygienic: Our family booked a total of 7 rooms. I felt that the bedding and all places were very clean! I have stayed in a very four- or five-star hotel and have stayed in many homestays. It is no exaggeration to say that this homestay is the cleanest I think I have ever stayed in! As soon as I slept, I knew how clean this bedding was washed. Later, I learned that the owner of the hotel would go to the laundry room every time to urge the person who washes clothes to be demanding. Service: Because the road in Hongcun is narrow and cannot enter the big car, there is no way to pick up people. When we don't go and leave, the boss has a small tricycle to help us pick up and drop off the luggage. This is still very good. But there was some small friction when communicating halfway, but the boss also apologized later. Overall, the service is not bad, that is, there are two couples in the peak tourist season, sometimes the boss can't find the boss to wait, which is a little fly in the ointment.

I booked this homestay because I am a huge fan of huizhou style architecture and surely the place didn't disappoint me. The design of the homestay rooms gives one that feeling of antiquity. Takes you back to the Ming Dynasty if you are a Chinese history buff. Also,there is a nicely designed small restaurant at the location. The food was great. Additionally,I enjoyed my overall stay because the owner was very hospitable. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves idyllic antique designs.
