Homestays in Anhui, China

We loved our stay here! We based ourselves here for three nights as we explored the region and it was so easy and convenient with plenty of dinner and shopping options nearby. The room was clean and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and welcoming and always checked in with us. The included breakfast was amazing, the perfect way to start every morning.

Wonderful hotel, quietly located in Tunxi. The staff was very helpful with all our requests. We spend 2 nights here to go to the yellow mountains which was a one hour drive one way. We had to leave one night earlier and staff was so kind to refund us that night which we hadn't asked for. The rooms are very nice and quiet comfy. I would certainly recommend this hotel and I hope to come back in the future!

The accommodation environment was fantastic, offering complimentary afternoon tea and snacks. There's also an outdoor coffee corner perfect for a short break. The butler service was exceptional; they even proactively offered two extra breakfasts since we had two children with us. They also helped with our luggage during pick-up and drop-off. Plus, there's a lovely golden British Shorthair cat you can pet freely, which was adorable. When we left in a hurry, the butler even messaged us later to say they'd mail us some souvenirs. All in all, I'll definitely choose this place again when I visit in the future and will recommend it to my friends.

Before coming to Hongcun, I didn't have high expectations, thinking it would just be another old village to visit and leave. However, my stay at 'Hongcun Yike Homestay' made me feel that every detail of this trip radiated warmth. Upon arriving at Hongcun bus station, I was unfamiliar with the area and was stressing about how to drag my luggage across the stone-paved paths to the homestay while looking at a map. The moment I called, the owner's enthusiastic voice immediately put me at ease: 'Wait there, I'll be right over to pick you up!' In less than ten minutes, the owner appeared on an electric scooter, swiftly tied my luggage to the vehicle, and cheerfully motioned for me to hop on. We weaved through Hongcun's winding alleys and past bustling crowds of tourists. The homestay was tucked away in a quiet lane near Moon Pond, an excellent location. You could see Moon Pond just around the corner, yet it was peaceful and quiet – truly an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the courtyard, I was captivated by this homestay, a renovated Huizhou-style building. The exquisitely carved porch, wooden corridors, and rustic private courtyard exuded the unique elegance and serenity characteristic of Huizhou homes. Inside the room, it was bright and clean. The antique-style wooden bed paired with a soft mattress offered both classic charm and comfort. The night was exceptionally quiet, and I slept soundly. Early the next morning, I opened the window to a beautiful view of the Huizhou-style horse-head walls in the morning light, distant mountains draped in lush greenery, and the nearby sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers. It truly felt like living inside a traditional Chinese ink wash painting. On the day of my departure, the owner drove me to the bus station as usual, reminding me of other places I hadn't visited in Hongcun along the way. Before saying goodbye, the owner pulled out a packet of chrysanthemum tea from the trunk, handed it to me, and smiled, saying, 'This is our local chrysanthemum tea, take it home and try it.' Holding that packet of tea, my heart felt warm. Staying here truly felt like returning to an old friend's home in Huizhou, thoughtful and considerate in every way. 'Yike Homestay' truly lives up to its name – making one feel 'at ease' (逸) and so content that guests (客) forget to leave. Next time I'm in Hongcun, I'll definitely stay here again.

I specifically came to Hongcun to relax and unwind, and choosing this guesthouse was absolutely the right decision. It's tucked away in an old village alley, right in the heart of the scenic area, making it incredibly convenient to get in and out of the park. It's just a short walk to the lakeside viewpoint. What surprised me most was how incredibly clean it was. The rooms, which are renovated from an old house, were spotless. They were well-ventilated, dry, and had no musty odors. Every corner was meticulously tidied, making my stay feel very safe and comfortable.

The water heater is not convenient enough to take a bath. It is pulled up with a simple curtain. There is no glass door to isolate dry and wet. The curtains in the house are too long to hang on the ground and some dirty. The bedside is a bit loose. The sink faucet needs to be opened with hot water. The valve below, the sofa does not need to be easy to dirty in the house and occupy space. Changed to simple plastic stools is simple and hygienic. After checking out, there is a special aunt to clean up and clean the sheets, but it is recommended to do hot water, drinking water, hygiene and some details. Compared with simple hotels, about fifty or sixty yuan is still very competitive. But for users, it will be more comfortable to add some prices to choose a regular hotel chain.

This hotel, with its Huizhou architectural style, truly immerses you in the local culture. The white walls, dark tiles, and wooden corridors blend seamlessly with the beautiful scenery of Hongcun. Stepping inside feels like becoming one with the region's heritage. The lake view rooms offer expansive vistas, allowing you to take in the clear waters of South Lake and the surrounding Huizhou-style homes right from your window. It's incredibly convenient too; you can walk to the main attractions in just a few minutes, making it easy to capture stunning ancient-style photos. The staff are attentive and thoughtful, always responding promptly to any request with a gentle demeanor, and without any unnecessary interruptions. When visiting Hongcun, I highly recommend this hotel.

This time I came to Chengkan, and the Jiaoyangli B&B I lived in really exceeded expectations. The boss and his wife are very real. They know that we are going to visit the scenic spot and take the initiative to pick up and drop off for free, saving a lot of trouble finding the way and waiting for the car. The room was clean and the facilities were quite new and the living was very comfortable. The noodles for breakfast were particularly fragrant, and the dried bamboo shoots and sauerkraut were all local flavors and I was very satisfied. There is free parking space in the yard, and it is very worry-free to drive by car. Before leaving, the boss also sent us two refrigerator stickers, and the small details are all heartfelt. Next time I come to Chengkan, I will definitely stay here, and I really recommend it to friends who come to play.

This place is incredibly close to both the Huangshan South Transfer Center and the Zhaixi Transfer Center, just a 200-meter walk. We arrived on a rainy day, and the owner kindly came to pick us up. They even provided raincoats and hiking poles for our Huangshan climb. We booked a duplex room, and aside from the skylight curtain not closing, everything else was perfect. The owner's hand-drawn maps for the up and down mountain routes were super helpful. We left at 6:30 AM, reached the cable car by 7:00 AM, and our entire route was incredibly smooth.

This guesthouse is nestled in a historic alley of Tunxi Old Street. It boasts convenient transportation and is surrounded by various restaurants and shops. They offer airport pick-up service, and the butler even comes out to help with luggage, showcasing their incredibly thoughtful service. The guesthouse is a renovated century-old building. The front hall and main entrance exude an antique charm with exquisite wood carvings and vintage furniture, all steeped in history. Staying here feels like a journey back in time to ancient Huizhou. The guest room area is spacious, bright, and impeccably clean with fresh air. The room's interior is very new, featuring modern facilities. The bathroom fixtures are Kohler, and the hairdryer is Dyson, ensuring a convenient and comfortable stay. This is a guesthouse run with genuine passion, and the owner clearly has a great appreciation for culture. It's a perfect blend of historical heritage and modern comfort. It exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend it.
