"This guesthouse in Hongcun Scenic Area is absolutely wonderful! It has a simple yet elegant courtyard with a strong scholarly ambiance. The owner is incredibly friendly and kind, offering luggage pick-up and drop-off services throughout our stay. They also thoughtfully arranged for us to dine at excellent nearby restaurants for lunch and dinner. Upon checking in, we immediately headed to Wanxing Tower near the guesthouse for stinky mandarin fish and rice with vegetables, which, unfortunately, were quite bland. However, the design of Nanhu Guanyuan itself is very refined and tasteful, and the breakfast spread offers a great variety, perfect for a heartwarming and satisfying start to the day. The guesthouse is exceptionally close to the Nanhu and Yuezao attractions, making it easy to take leisurely strolls in the morning or evening and soak in the beautiful, misty江南 (Jiangnan) scenery. My trip to Hongcun in Anhui was truly delightful, and staying at Nanhu Guanyuan made it even more enjoyable. Plus, the scenic area's parking lot charges a maximum of only twenty yuan for both day and night, which is incredibly good value."

"The hotel is right by the big tree at the village entrance. The uncle there was very attentive and helped me with my luggage multiple times. The environment is nice and quiet, and the bed was quite comfortable. My only suggestion is to add a floor mat outside the shower, or provide better slippers."

"Hygiene: Overall, it was excellent and very clean. Environment: I have to say, having such a large courtyard inside Hongcun is truly impressive. The courtyard is very well-maintained, and my mom absolutely loved it, taking tons of photos there – it’s very photogenic (Picture 3 shows a corner of the courtyard). Facilities: The only thing that I feel needs improvement during this stay is the air conditioning in the room (only for the room I stayed in). We visited during the plum rain season, so it was a bit stuffy and humid. Turning the AC up made it a bit too cold, but turning it down didn't seem to do much, although it was functional. I suggest it might need some maintenance or repair. Service: The service here was absolutely top-notch! The pick-up and drop-off were very prompt, and it’s very close to the West Gate parking lot. I paid 20 RMB for 24 hours of parking at the West Gate. The driver, though a man of few words, was truly wonderful. When he took us to the parking lot, he even drove his electric scooter to help us buy bamboo shoots because my mom loved them, haggled for us in the local dialect, and helped us pick out four really good ones! I usually don't spend time reviewing hotels and restaurants, but I just had to leave a good review for this driver! Additionally, the B&B is incredibly close to Moon Pond, just a few minutes' walk away, and about five or six minutes to South Lake (I walk quite fast). It's perfect for getting up early to grab a good spot for photos, as it gets quite crowded even by 7 AM now. Staying here gives you a big advantage for early morning photo ops. There are B&Bs around South Lake too, but I personally think they might not be as quiet as this one. Secondly, for food, I had both of my meals at the B&B, and the food was excellent, especially the stinky tofu. I've been to Anhui several times, and I've never had good stinky tofu until I ate it here – it was the best I've ever tasted (though not cheap). While the price was a bit on the higher side, we (two people) finished everything, which is better than paying for food you only eat a few bites of and waste. The rice was also very well-made; my mom, who is quite picky about food, ate a good amount. Plus, the restaurant faces the courtyard, offering a nice view, and dining is quiet and comfortable. Finally, the hand soap and toiletries were all quite good; my mom even found the toothbrush so comfortable that she took it home! 😅 This is definitely a B&B I would recommend to my friends."

"The room decor was really unique and charming. The service was thoughtful and impeccable. When we arrived, they even sent a dedicated driver to pick us up, and he was super nice and friendly. He was very careful when helping us with our luggage. The owners, a couple, were lovely and enthusiastic, giving us great tips on scenic routes and good places to eat. We really appreciate it! The best part is that you step right out into the beautiful Moon Pond, which is unforgettable. All in all, this trip was definitely worth it and highly recommended."

"The service during my stay was very satisfying. The staff were warm and welcoming, the room had a lovely character, the view was good, and it was clean. Overall, it was great."

"The environment is quiet and pleasant, located right near the West Gate of Hongcun, and it's only a 10-minute walk to the scenic area. Both the front desk staff and the cleaning aunties were very attentive and quick to assist with any requests. The room was spacious and comfortable, with nice views."

"The breakfast was distinctive and delicious. The room was clean and hygienic, and the bed was always comfortable. It's very close to Hongcun, but there are only three washing machines, so you might have to queue."

"The hotel is very close to the west gate of the scenic spot, about 100 meters. There are also a lot of things to eat around. There is Zhao Yiming Snack Supermarket downstairs, which is convenient for shopping. The bed sleeps comfortably."

"The hotel has two adorable and very docile cats. The rooms are spotless and the hygiene is excellent, no issues there. It's very quiet at night, and convenient for getting around. The courtyard is really lovely!"
