"I also booked this room for my elders, and I wrote a very detailed review in my previous post. In summary: the room decor rivals a star-rated hotel, the bedding is very clean and hygienic, and the owner thoughtfully pre-heats the electric blanket and heater.
The roads in the village are very narrow, and private cars aren't allowed in. Just park on a nearby street or in a parking lot and contact the owner to pick you up. The owner is an excellent driver; he maneuvers his minivan through corners and turns like a pro, and he even helps carry luggage up to the room.
Finally, you absolutely *must* listen to the owner's advice for sightseeing – it's incredibly detailed and will save you a lot of money, time, and effort. And be sure to try the food cooked by the proprietress; it's organic, healthy, fresh, and delicious. I recommend the local specialties I tried: dried beef, Hani cured meat, tree flower scrambled eggs, and stir-fried bitter greens. The other dishes and complimentary breakfast are also super tasty!
This guesthouse exceeded our expectations and gets a perfect score; my entire family was satisfied 👍
Thank you to the owner and his family for their warm and dedicated service. Wishing the owner prosperity!"

GGuest UserSo happy with this stay! High-end, modern facilities in the most incredible location. Felt more like a four star hotel. Some of the best pictures I got in Yuanyang were taken right on my balcony. The room was spacious, the staff were so helpful, and the hotel food was delicious. It's a bit more on the expensive side relative to nearby hotels, but I think it's well worth the money. Would definitely stay here again!
GGuest UserThis is a gem. The room absolutely looks like in the pictures. It is wonderful to sip tea in the glass abode and look at the rice terraces. Speaking of the rice terraces, in this hotel you are even closer to them than if you go to the official Duoyishu viewpoint. Duoyishu being by far the best viewpoint. So basically, it does not get any better than just looking at them from your room or from the viewing platform on top of the hotel.
Only small issue that existed - room is not that big and optimized for looking nice, so no cupboard to put your clothes.
They serve dinner for 50-60 CNY per dish (large portion), and it is tasty.
The breakfast is great.
The manager organized a private car for me back to Honghe at reasonable price.
Go here.
GGuest UserGreat location with excellent view and morning sunrise.
Room is well maintained, spacious, clean and comfortable. The room features a view of the magnificent Yuanyang paddy field, mountain and sky through the large window. The bathroom is equipped with heating system which is super essential for the cold season.
Warm, friendly and very helpful owners providing personalized assistance and services. Definitely a great place to stay in Honghe. Highly recommended.
TTebacaService: My tire pressure kept going off, so I called the owner to ask where I could get a tire repaired. He gave me two directions. We were turned away at the first one in Shengcun (it was closed). We were about to head down the mountain to the old county town when we saw another one at the exit of a one-way street and got the air in. After driving to the private parking lot, we called the B&B to come and help us with our luggage. A Hani woman swiftly carried our 17kg suitcase. The owner was gentle and versatile. Since it was raining, we decided to eat at the B&B. She prepared stir-fried chicken, a mushroom omelet, beetroot egg drop soup, and garlic chayote flowers, and even gave us fried peanuts to go with our drinks.
Facilities: The room amenities were excellent, with Kohler bathroom fixtures. The only downside was the lack of a curtain around the toilet.
Environment: The view of the terraced rice fields couldn't be better! I could sit on the balcony and watch the sea of clouds. There's even a phone holder on the railing for time-lapse photography—a really thoughtful touch. It's about a ten-minute walk from the Duoyishu Observation Deck. Unfortunately, it rained both days we stayed there, so we didn't get to see either sunrise or sunset.
There's a local dog named Guolai in the shop. He's so well-behaved, but he's trying to lose weight.
GGuest UserThe room was very spacious and clean, with down comforters. The owner must have had it designed; the decor and quality were excellent. The food in the cafeteria was especially delicious. Although there were trendy restaurants nearby, we chose to eat at the guesthouse, and it was definitely the right choice. The ingredients were good, and the food tasted great. I glanced at the kitchen, and it was very clean and reassuring. The owner and head chef were very down-to-earth, which was reassuring. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the Duoyishu viewing platform, which conveniently avoids the traffic congestion, and it's also closer to the sea of clouds. The sea of clouds in the picture was seen about 200 meters away from Duoyishu from the guesthouse; there was no sea of clouds at Duoyishu that day.
GGuest UserWe went to Banna and transferred to Yuanyang. The children liked this place very much. The lady at the homestay chatted and sang with the children. The children were very excited after hearing all the flattery. The village is basically inhabited by local farmers, and the children are having a great time strolling around the village feeding chickens, pigs and cows. If the weather is warmer, I would like to stay a few more days.
GGuest UserThis was my third trip to Yuanyang rice terraces to watch the harvest, that I am fascinated by, during harvest season My previous trips I stayed at OneNess Resort (1/2 mile from Cloud). Both are great. Oneness is newer but Clouds has a vintage personality that is hard to beat. When I arrived, I was disappointed that there was no regular chains or small desk or table to sit at to work on computer and organize the daily videos that I captured. I just mentioned this to the manager and I went out to explore the area. When I returned, he had brought a table and chair to my room and placed them on the rooms terrace. The people here are so friendly and I personally take service and friendliness of the staff at the top of my list, Two of the young girls (sorry for the phrasing but I man 78 and we always used to use that terms as a compliment) tracked me down to invent me to come to the reception area and they would make me coffee. I was heading out so they quickly went back to the main reception and then returned to give me several “brew in you room” coffee pods. Fabulous location, fabulous people.. I’ll be back - God willing.
TTrains2vieWe wanted to come here for the lasts days of our China trip, the view seemed amazing. And it is, but when you buy the guest room with view you don’t know which one you will have, they have put many pictures of different room in the booking section. So we had the one with the view over the sink and from the showers which is amazing (but when arriving I thought the view was from other side too).
We arrived and it was foggy for the whole day, fortunately we booked threee night and the next day was sunny ! I didn’t know there is so much fog in this area so think about it. We had only two choice for restaurants because it’s very small (or they didn’t tell us more) and they are really delicious.
I tried to have a lot of informations from the host to know what to do and how but it was not clear . I think they could to better to explain guest how to move around and visit. We had to go to the tourist center 20min away and have information.
The room is confortable, heating bed and heating in the room (but the heater makes a lot of noises)
GGuest UserI stayed here for two nights with a friend in the beginning of February and we both loved it. This is not a place for luxury, but for great service! The hosts are genuinely kindhearted, open and will help you with anything to make you comfortable. We stayed in a panoramic view room and the location is right above some rice fields, No need to go to the next door viewing platform that charges ¥70, the view from there and from the rooftop were ansolutely amazing!
DDaniela KisiThe location is very good, walking distance to the terraces! The room is very good, and it matches the photos and descriptions, but the service was almost non-existent.
When we arrived we were received only by kids and a teenager checked us in. No adults were seen on site until the last day of our 3-day stay. On our first morning, we were woken up by a couple trying to enter our room because the kids had checked them in and gave them the key to our room!
It was supposed to have breakfast included, but there was no one there to even ask about it. Internet did not work 2 out of the 3 days we were there. Neither did the hot water. I understand that some of these things might be because it's off-season, but if they can't offer services like breakfast, they should not include it in the hotel description.
