Homestays in Zhejiang, China

房间干净，风景好，但服务、体验感、性价比一般。 This place is designed for the 'gram, not the 3000 RMB/night experience. The room is beautiful, you've seen that already, but here's my genuine experience that I hope helps set your expectations. Overall, bare minimum service. There is no proper front desk reception, and I had to remind them to set up the butler group chat the day before arrival because there were no instructions. Upon arrival, the main door was locked. Someone eventually came and brought my luggage up to the room, and that was it. No friendly chats, no personal touch, no estate introduction or tour, no other instructions, just a few pre-set WeChat images. The butler is quite responsive on chat but often provides incomplete answers. Service at breakfast was cold. No one welcomes you when you walk in, and there was no proper introduction to what was available. There was only one staff member at breakfast. He eventually came over and asked which main dish I'd like. There was no mention of Western vs. Chinese options until I overheard someone else's order. Most of the time he was standing at the kitchen entrance using his phone loudly, which made it hard to get his attention. The loud phone noise made the experience quite unpleasant, as I was hoping for a relaxing, quiet breakfast. Food options are very limited for a solo traveller. I ordered ******* for every lunch and dinner. I was quite hungry in the late afternoon and looking forward to the savory snacks in the afternoon tea set. I ordered them to my room and was told the ”chef had a family emergency” and could not prepare the fries and popcorn chicken, though I later saw someone else having the complete set in the lobby. :/ I saw another review a few months back giving feedback that there was no floor mat near the hot tub area. Even though they always respond to negative reviews the same way, saying they will improve, the problem was unfortunately not fixed. You only have one floor mat at the shower area and have to remember to bring it across the room to the hot tub area, or you'll be dripping wet on a slippery floor when you exit the tub. Soundproofing is bad. There is a road right next to the room, and you can hear occasional cars passing by. During my stay, farmers were harvesting bamboo, and you could hear the loud truck engines (which sounded like excavators) and them talking loudly. Mad respect for farmers, just highlighting the downside of the location that you dont see in the nice photos. The whole experience was strange because it felt like other guests were there for photoshoot over an actual hotel stay experience. You could see beautifully dressed ladies posing at every corner of the estate. Nothing wrong with that, just not something I'm used to. The experience is not without positives. The room I stayed in 【云渌】 had an insanely beautiful view, which was what I came for. It directly faces the bamboo forest and mountains. On good days, you'll probably be able to see a nice sunset. The room was clean and had great, thoughtful amenities, including Le Labo toiletries, a small pack of laundry detergent, eye masks, earplugs, and a Dyson hairdryer, to name a few. I also loved the huge private balcony it came with. I was really looking forward to this stay, but coming from another 民宿 I absolutely enjoyed, the service here was a stark contrast. This place has so much potential if they could brush up on the professionalism of the service crew to match the aesthetic and pricetag. I sincerely wish them well and hope the service can be improved.

This guesthouse has so much character! The owner clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the design. The massive, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf instantly brings a sense of calm, which is especially welcome on a hot summer day. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, browse books, read, or simply have a moment of quiet reflection. Oh, and the owner even gave me a complimentary room upgrade, which was incredibly comfortable.

What a stroke of luck! As soon as we checked in, we met the legendary 'landlady' (bao zu po), who warmly escorted us to our room. We were absolutely delighted with the room we booked this time; it had two balconies facing different directions, offering a constant view of the performances 🎭. All the hotel staff were very friendly, and the concierge group chat was incredibly convenient, with super-fast responses. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next visit!

The environment of the hotel is very good. The room is very hygienic. The facilities are complete. The boss service is very good. The family wants to play mahjong and the owner of the hotel. The owner of the hotel went to the relatives' house on a rainy day. The mahjong table breakfast is also prepared. A lot of service is very good. Friends who come to Lishui can choose this homestay. Real test praise!

The room is very clean, comfortable and hygienic. Children like it very much, but I feel it is more suitable for couples because the design of the bathroom is a bit inconvenient for parent-child families. There is also a bathroom on the first floor, but there is no shower. Parents of the opposite sex have to take a shower in advance. Other than that, it is almost full marks. The service is very, very, very good. The brothers are very handsome and the sisters are also very beautiful. They have a strong sense of service. The housekeeper is responsive to every request. A care package is provided every day, which is a canvas cosmetic bag that can be taken away. The toiletries are lelabo, and there are enough drinks. The restaurant is not big, so make reservations in advance. The food is very delicate and the taste is good. Afternoon tea and hot spring bath are also provided. It is very, very, very comfortable!

The overall experience exceeded my expectations! The hotel was very clean, the room was neat and tidy, and the details were handled beautifully, making for a very comfortable stay. The accompanying special activities were a delightful surprise, rich in content, interesting, and very engaging. The most memorable was the sound healing experience; the soothing sounds slowly unfolded, and I unknowingly relaxed and drifted off to sleep, letting go of all my fatigue. It was a healing and relaxing short getaway, perfect for those looking to unwind and destress. Definitely worth another visit!

The best decision I made on this trip was booking WPlus Homestay! It definitely deserves a full five-star rating! 🌟 First, let's talk about the location. WPlus is perfectly situated – it's quiet yet convenient, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. But as soon as you turn into the alley where the homestay is located, it immediately becomes peaceful, giving you a sense of being 'hidden in plain sight' amidst the bustling city. The moment I opened the door, I was amazed. The overall design aesthetic is superb, featuring a minimalist Song-style with a lot of character. The lighting and soft furnishings are perfectly matched, making every casual photo look great. There was also a thoughtful welcome card. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the toiletries were carefully selected – as someone who appreciates details, I found it extremely comfortable. The breakfast quality was also excellent, and it could be delivered to the room. Plus, there was afternoon tea and a goodnight sweet soup, both of which were wonderful. This was truly the most worthwhile part of my Hangzhou trip.

Service: The owner was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, offering free pick-up and drop-off at the pier. Environment: The view from the hotel is unbeatable, and the location is superb, right in the heart of Gouqi Shengshan. It's incredibly convenient for visiting all the attractions, and you can walk to the town in six or seven minutes, saving a lot on transportation costs. Facilities: The room facilities are simple, clean, and very refreshing. The bed was extremely comfortable. Hygiene: The hygiene was excellent. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay. I originally booked for one night, but I enjoyed the environment so much that I extended my stay for another night. I'll definitely come back if I get the chance.

Songyang Chaoheal Treasure B&B, this time with my family to Songyang to relax, booked Lixia and the sea in advance, the whole stay experience far exceeded expectations. Before departure, the boss carefully communicated the route into the village and shared the play guide in the village; Just arrived at the entrance of the village, Lixia and Haibo waited early, took the initiative to guide the parking, help carry the luggage, like old friends gathering as intimacy. The homestay also has a cute free puppy named 123, which accompanied us to visit the ancient village throughout the whole process, lively and healing, adding countless joys along the way. The homestay is built near the stream. In the afternoon, sitting by the stream and drinking exquisite rags coffee is full of atmosphere. The stream is rippling and the breeze in the mountains is rippling, leisurely and relaxing. It coincides with the ripe season of local peaches. When checking in, the boss presented the freshly picked pecans daily up the mountain. The pulp was crisp and sweet. The sweetness was unexpected. I placed a few boxes and mailed them home to my family to taste them. Pecans went up the mountain every morning to pick them, and immediately arranged to send them out at noon. It was especially reliable. After drinking coffee, Lixia took us to the check-in point in the village, explained the history of the ancient village in detail, and the puppy 123 led the way. In the evening, I returned to the hotel for dinner. All the ingredients were freshly purchased. Haibo's cooking skills were very good. The two of us ordered 5 dishes. Sitting at the door of the stream to eat, the puppy 123 quietly lying on the feet, eating the remaining ribs, chicken wings are all divided into it to eat, do not worry about eating waste, full of fireworks. After the meal, Lixia Haibo accompanied us for a walk around the village, and waited for the street lights in the village to be all extinguished. He specially took us to the mountains and wild to see the fireflies between the stars and the forests. The beautiful scenery in the city was rare and romantic and unforgettable. The room booked this time is warmly furnished, and the sound of the stream can be heard when the window is opened. The details in the house are full, tape recorders, projectors, and various literary books can be seen everywhere, and the quiet atmosphere is full of sense. Enjoy a carefully prepared breakfast in the early morning the next day. Before leaving, Lixia, Haibo and Dog 123 sent us to the village. I look forward to coming back next time.
