JJamesHarrisMy friend and I stayed here for one night. The owners were really friendly and gave us a plate of delicious watermelon on arrival, they also told us where we could do a COVID test late at night and recommended a place for dinner. The location is the same as every other place in town; convenient for the park entrance and not much else. Breakfast was simple but filling and a nice added touch. The room was clean and comfortable but a bit basic. The price is high throughout the entire town but 400 yuan a night is certainly not cheap and for this price I would at least expect certain things, like a bedside lamp. The biggest issue for me was the disposable towels. I understand maybe some people like them for cleanliness and hygiene reasons but for me the experience was like trying to dry my body with an oversized tissue, not to mention how terrible they are for the environment. I’m sure if I had asked for a proper towel, the owners would have obliged, as they did with everything else, but for 400 yuan a night it’s something I would expect automatically. All this being said, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and overall we enjoyed our stay.
SScarletTheWanderer⛰ This is a wonderful homestay about two hours drive from Guiyang Airport. It has one of the most beautiful views overlooking tea plantations and mountains in the distance. 🍵 🌅 The sunset from the balcony is just divine. We communicated easily through WeChat prior to arrival and the staff were very friendly and helpful in trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and luxurious and the beds were very comfortable. The dinner was absolutely divine and served on the balcony for us to enjoy the sunset. There were a couple things that could have made our stay a little better and are important to note. These bungalows get full sun all day, so on sunny days like when we arrived, they were very very hot. It cools down at night a little which is great, but our room had an issue with both Wifi and the AC so it was very very warm. The floors weren’t that clean, there was some dust and the bathtub hadn’t been properly cleaned. For this price point these are expected at a better standard. Overall it was a really nice experience, the location perfect, the mountains are very quiet and secluded and the night stars were epic! It’s just these small details that added up- felt detracted from how wonderful these bungalows could be. Again, the staff was very helpful in trying to solve these small issues and the food and early moring views were incredible! Would def go back for those things!
Wwissy00I couldn't have asked for better. I was astonished by the service, cleanliness, friendliness, and treatment. All of this at an incredibly low price.
Communicating can be a bit complicated if you don't speak Chinese, as almost no one in this region speaks English. Fortunately, I had someone with me who could. The lovely lady treated us like her own grandchildren and insisted that we eat with her, letting us try typical local dishes. I truly felt at home.
As for the service itself, I was even more surprised. We stayed for two nights, and every day they cleaned the room, changed the towels, provided slippers, a new toothbrush, and a bottle of water. In the evening, she insisted on giving us fruit.
Regarding the location, it's very convenient, as it's just a 10-minute walk from the bus stop that takes you to the main attractions and also to the train station. As a foreign tourist, I highly recommend it!
SScarletTheWandererWe had an incredible stay here. The views from the rooms are incredible and look out to the karst mountains and rice fields below. The rooms were clean, the showers strong and the sheets and bed were comfortable. The check in was simple and easy. Breakfast was a big bowl of fresh noodles. The food was delicious, fresh and very flavourful! The staff were so kind, friendly, helpful and always greeted us with a smile. The owner went out of his way to help us have the best time during our stay so we could see as much as possible in the park! It’s located right inside the Libo Maolan National Nature Reserve.
Navigating your way there is easy and there is plenty of free parking out front. At night the only sound are the frogs and crickets and it’s so quiet. We saw an incredible darkened sky lit up with stars, the most I’ve seen anywhere in China, you could even see the milky way!
We went on a glorious 7 hour hike and the father was our guide. He was by far the best nature park guide I’ve ever had in my life! He knew so much about the history of the park and all the names and traditional uses of the plants. Was very friendly too! Five hole bridge is only a 10 minute walk from here where you can go for a refreshing and much needed dip after a wonderful day exploring. The owner also drive us to the starting point of Qinglong Waterfalls and it’s wonderful- you can easily walk this riverside straight back to the hotel!
Would really recommend this place for families, couples or friends travelling as it’s just wonderful! Can’t wait to come back and stay again!
