Yuxi Homestay

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Yuxi Homestay! The hotel owner was so kind and helpful with planning our itinerary and booking tickets for Wulingyuan, Tianmen Mountain, Huanglong Cave, and the Glass Bridge. Our room was simultaneously cozy and spacious, with a beautiful view. Every morning we were treated to a delicious free breakfast. It’s a family business, and it really shows. They were all very kind and the little daughter running around was very cute too. If you speak Chinese, you’ll get to experience how fun they are. If you don’t, they’ll try their best anyway so try to meet them halfway. There’s a great restaurant right around the corner too, and the owner there is a good friend of the hotel owner. The restaurant name is Tu Jia Xiao Er, or 土家小二. I don’t think I’d want to stay anywhere else if/when I come back to Zhangjiajie!

We really enjoyed our 2 nights stay here! The owner / host was very kind and helpful - he recommended us the best routes to take in zhangjiajie mountain based on the number of days we have, they also carried our heavy suitcases up to the room and also arranged free transportation to the entrance of the Zhangjiajie mountain. There’s also free hearty breakfast to enjoy here! Room and bathroom were huge and clean, and there’s a great view over the river. Super super worth and highly recommend anyone to stay here when planning a trip to Zhangjiajie :)

Overall, it has been a pleasant stay at Yuxi with very little to complain about. The homestay manager was super helpful in providing travel tips to the ZJJ Forest while also offering discounted ticket for purchase (which were cheaper than buying online from Trip). Also, pickup and drop off at the East Gate was provided free of charge. The room was clean, a bit small but spacious enough for two. Mattress was not so comfortable but wasn't a deal breaker for us. During the night, it was quiet with the soothing sound of the small river at the back. Próbably one aspect for room for improvement would be to provide good strong coffee in the future. The coffee from the machine tasted bland and I couldn't find any nearby cafes to buy coffee from.

I can’t say enough positive things about my stay here. I was a solo traveler and loved it here. The family run business is shown through and they are incredibly personable and helpful. From planning my stay to giving any advice — I can’t express how grateful I am! I enjoyed the room and the home cooked meal. Highly recommend staying here!

This is one of the very cozy humble boutique hotel/guesthouse/bnb (I’m not sure what’s the exact term) but I love everything about this place. The owners, the location, the view, the peacefulness, the humbleness, the kindness. Owners are very friendly, helpful and kind to every guest. They are there to hands on the business that I couldn’t find it in many other places where they hire helper and assistants to run it. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Wulingyuan.

Believe me or not but for you who read this review i will tell you something. Ive never meet the boss who run their hotel business like YuXi Owner. He and his wife really have their heart at the fullest on their business. He help us a lot in many aspect like our itinerary, help us to book many tickets for discount and also gave me Tea when i said i wanna buy sorethroat medicine. He sent us from hotel to scenic area and picked us up from there to hotel for free. He let his daughter to play with mine and let them to see fireworks. After from this hotel my mom said, i will never get really2 good experience like in YuXi again. I will absolutely come and stay in this hotel again when i come to zhangjiajie. And for the last he gave us 2 bottles of Tea Leaf. Thx for your kindness
