LLoves TravelIf you are in Penglai you definitely must stay at the Penglai Manshe Homestays. I can vouch that those stories you read about the amazing lady owner & her concern for her guests are indeed all true. In our case when we contacted her after booking she immediately responded. Then when we initially couldn’t place our Didi order to her place she offered to pick us up. It wasn’t necessary in the end but we were very moved by her thoughtfulness. Plus she was a ready fount of information regarding the attractions in the area. She also welcomes us to keep close contact with her on WeChat. So, if you stay here you are assured that you will be safe in her capable hands, something to consider for clueless foreign visitors!
The room itself was another wonder. She upgraded us to a ground floor room with smart facilities. The bright & airy room was indeed lovely. Everything was carefully planned and in smooth working order. The bedsheets & towels were good quality stuff. We absolutely love them. And don’t get me started on the location! It is walking distance to the Eight Immortals attraction and a short ride to Penglai Pavilion.
The seafood restaurant around the corner offers cheap but delicious seafood with huge portions. So this place definitely has a lot going for it!
Bbblablabla_athis is a room without window looking out but theres a small window beside the television for wind flow purpose, but it actually not really being used, i just left it there since its winter, its cold outside. you can hear people going in and out their room quite some noices.

ผผู้เข้าพักI had hoped to stay where I stayed in Aug. 2024, but when trip.com confirmed with that place, it no longer accepted foreigners. It was nice trip.com recommended this place instead and get a confirmation email right away.
Conditions per previous travelers comments had changed.
I did not see any bugs. I had taken my swim trunks along because a previous comment said.men and women showered together, but there were separate showers, and the showers, toilets, and sink.areas were clean. Some floor tile needed to be finished.
There were desks to have meals at, and a microwave, but it was on the top of some lockers. One chair back needed to be replaced.
The air conditioning and room were comfortable.
The property wanted guests to call the property before arriving. Perhaps the driver was unfmiliar with the area, and we had to detour. The owner (limited English) answered the driver's call but responded to me on WeChat in Chinese I could translate, and he provided the outside and room codes.
The main worker had good English and asked me to send a picture of my passport. While she did not understand registering me with the local police as a foreigner, the owner did that when I asked him to.
The location was convenient, as I walked to the Yantai Train Station when I left. The price was reasonable.
