Hotels in Xidi scenic area, Yi County

Hygiene: When checking out, the cleaner was making the bed, and I saw some dirty yellow stains inside the quilt. There was also a mouse repeller in the room, and I heard mice moving around in the ceiling at night. Facilities: The facilities are pretty standard for a village dwelling. The parking lot costs 20 RMB per day. After parking, you have to walk about 500 meters to the guesthouse's check-in hall, and then another 300 meters or so to the guesthouse after checking in, which is very inconvenient. Environment: It has an antique charm and is quiet outside. However, the soundproofing is poor; I could clearly hear my neighbor snoring at night, which is understandable for a wooden house. Service: There's a luggage cart service from the parking lot to the check-in hall (500 meters), but the path from the check-in hall to the guesthouse (300 meters) is very narrow, so you have to carry your own luggage.

Facilities: The in-room facilities are all brand new and kept very clean and tidy. The owner maintains the courtyard beautifully. Hygiene: Someone cleans and disinfects the rooms every day, which made me feel completely at ease during my stay. Environment: When I first booked, I was quite concerned about false advertising – perhaps the environment wouldn't be good or the photos wouldn't match reality – so I only booked one night. However, upon arrival, I was wonderfully surprised! I immediately decided to extend my stay for a second night! It's a shame my travel plans were tight and I could only stay two nights; I truly wished I could have stayed longer! It's incredibly comfortable, and I hope to come back for a few days every year if I get the chance! Service: The B&B is run by the owner couple themselves, creating a very comfortable and homely atmosphere. After parking at lot #7, the owner will come pick you up in a shuttle. They also have a quiet dog named 'Laifu'~~ The owner likely cooks as well, but unfortunately, I didn't get to try their food this time! I definitely want to taste their cooking on my next visit! I forgot to take photos of the B&B 📷~~ So I can only post some pictures of Xidi Ancient Village, but staying here was truly wonderful~~

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Good Environment: Good Service: Good. No need to say more about extending my stay multiple times, it was just that good. This guy is like a senior butler, extremely attentive and makes you feel right at home. Here you'll meet like-minded friends.

Location: Right outside the guesthouse, there are vast fields of canola flowers. It's also very close to where the night activities take place. Service: The owner even came to the parking lot to pick us up; they were very welcoming. Cleanliness: The room was spotlessly clean. Facilities: The room was equipped with everything imaginable, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable. You can even enjoy the view outside right from your bed (the photos were taken from inside the room). Summary: This is an excellent tea-themed guesthouse with great drinks and a wonderful stay. Full stars, highly recommended!

The location is easy to find. It only takes ten minutes to take a taxi from the east of Yixian County. The B&B is on the left hand side of the road. I got there a little late. I called the landlady and she opened the door. The environment is very good. The small door leads directly to the scenic spot. It is easy to go to the scenic spot. very convenient.

We totally recommend this hotel. It's in a beautiful old building, very well preserved and refurbished, and in a great location: in the Xidi old town, but a little bit more isolated, in the more quiet and less touristy area. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very stylish, it even had a tiny annexed studio room with desk and interesting books with a good kettle and tea set available. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had a very nice bathtub and heated toilet. Our host was super nice and helpful, he came to pick us up and dropped us at the bus station at the end of our stay. He's really friendly and gave us some nice tips on visiting the surrounding villages. He has a very cute dog and a cuddly cat :) Only negative comment: the room's window is on the side of the main road, so you can hear all the cars passing by. But even then, a great stay!

Room cleanliness and service were both very satisfactory. Surprisingly excellent! 👍🏻 Although it's about 1.6 kilometers from Xidi Scenic Area, the front desk provides a shuttle service. Thumbs up for the owner's dedication, business philosophy, and management skills! 👍🏻 I've had two nights, and the restaurant service was excellent; thank you! 🙏 Even though I was traveling alone, the breakfast was still provided; a large company like this doesn't cheat customers! Their integrity is admirable.

The landlady was efficient, sincere, and enthusiastic, providing excellent service. She always responded quickly to our calls and even proactively went to buy our tickets. The guesthouse's restaurant looked new and was beautifully decorated in a modern Chinese style. The landlady is a good cook; even with a limited menu, she managed to prepare three dishes to suit our tastes. Her noodle soup for breakfast was delicious! The room was smaller than we expected, with limited usable space. Because of a raised platform on the first floor, there wasn't much room to unfold our suitcases. The bathroom lacked shelves for toiletries, which was inconvenient. The guesthouse is located on the edge of the scenic area, surrounded by residential houses and guesthouses, making it quite quiet at night. The scary thing was the neighbor's dog; it barked incessantly every time we passed by, even chasing us, which was quite frightening. This was the most convenient and direct route from the guesthouse into the scenic area, making it difficult to avoid.

The hotel is located on Xidi's main street, easily spotted by its yellow lanterns, and convenient for dining. The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of Xidi, with a small yet exquisite courtyard. Rooms are well-equipped with amenities such as a projector, electric curtains, and a smart toilet. While the family room isn't large, the mini-courtyard view from the window makes the space feel larger. The mattress and pillows are comfortable, but the rustling of the blankets might be a bit disturbing for light sleepers, and the air conditioner is a little noisy. The owner is very welcoming and talkative, the receptionist is very friendly, and the breakfast is good. One small suggestion: add a storage area for clothes in the bathroom.

I'd give this guesthouse a perfect 100! If you're visiting Xidi, Mobai Inn is an absolute must-stay. It's incredibly close to the scenic area entrance. I checked in on Saturday, and there was a 'Bench Dragon' parade in the evening that started right at the archway entrance, making the location exceptionally convenient. I stayed in the 'Rainbow' room. It smelled lovely as soon as I walked in, and the owner had thoughtfully turned on the air conditioning for us beforehand. The room featured a large window with a beautiful view of the lake. I didn't take any photos of the interior, but rest assured, it was impeccably clean. The toiletries were of excellent quality – seriously, the toothbrush was so good I actually took it home, haha! Besides hand soap, they also provided a bottle of lotion, which was an absolute lifesaver for me as my arms were peeling from a recent sunburn after a beach trip! The guesthouse itself is very new and tastefully decorated, with photo opportunities at every turn! The rooftop, in particular, is a must-visit for photos. They even have a selfie stick thoughtfully provided by the owner – talk about knowing your guests! At sunset, you can capture breathtaking shots of the village during golden hour. It's truly beautiful! In the early morning, you can also head up there to enjoy the fresh air and take in the views of the mountains and lotus pond. Highly recommended!
