Homestays in Henan, China

Traveling to Luoyang, this Lijingmen B&B made me experience the whole process! 📍 The location is excellent, just in the core of the old city, close to the Lijingmen City Building, within 10 minutes walk to Luoqi Ancient City and Yingtianmen, surrounded by authentic snacks, beef soup, water mats to eat casually. The environment of the homestay is elegant, the Chinese courtyard style, the small courtyard is super beautiful, the room is clean and odorless, the musk smells very good, the whole house is intelligent, and the details are attentive. The boss and the clerk are super caring, communicate in advance, take the initiative to help carry luggage, store items, and avoid the pit guide, as kind as friends. The price is full, the experience is far more than expected, and I will stay here next time I come to Luoyang!

This location is heaven on earth. Surrounded by mountains that take on the form of Buddha. You sit right in the palm of a blessed spot. It is family owned and they treat you like family while you are there. By far some of the kindest people you will meet on your trip. Food is fantastic and homemade. There is a rooftop spot you can relax at, have tea, and even enjoy your meal there. The Shaolin temple is just a short walk from the hotel, and the owners will offer to drive you every time. Make sure to stay here if you are in the area. You will not regret it.

It's all just wonderful! The hotel is very nice and is located in an amazing position, inside the old city and next to the Ancient city. There are a lot of shops around the area where you can eat. The staff is so great, kind and helpful. Absolutely recommend as the best choice to stay in the beautiful Luoyang!

Cleanliness: Tidy and spotless, the environment is quite nice. It's close to attractions and offers great value for money, highly recommended! 👍🏻 There's a small courtyard which is very cozy. The front desk staff was friendly and even walked us to the entrance of the scenic area.

Great hotel in a very convenient location for exploring Luoyang. It’s close to Luoyi Ancient City and the nearby food streets, while the Longmen Grottoes are only around a 25-minute taxi ride away. The hotel was very clean, well maintained, and the room was comfortable. The staff were also extremely helpful and gave us useful advice for planning our stay and making the most of our time in Luoyang. Overall, a great place to stay and we would definitely recommend it!

I had a very satisfying stay here, and it was excellent value for money. The location is superb; Gulou (Drum Tower) is right across the street, and it's incredibly convenient for shopping and visiting the ancient city. The subway station is also close by. I booked a room with a mahjong/card room because I wanted a king-sized bed, and since it was too hot to go out during the day, we spent our time indoors – it even saved us the cost of renting a mahjong room elsewhere. The butler service was also very attentive and responsive to all our requests. The entire guesthouse offers a quiet escape in a bustling area, and it's quite spacious. The decor perfectly embodies a traditional Chinese aesthetic.

A delightful and surprising find during our trip. The B&B was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with tasteful decor that showed meticulous attention to detail. The room was quiet, ensuring a very restful stay. The owner was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and kind. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, ideal for unwinding after a journey, especially for short trips. I'll definitely be back!

The room was beautiful, with a carp pond right outside the window and a small courtyard door leading to a pavilion. The housekeeper was very friendly. The backyard of the property overlooks the Bian River, and it's very close to the welcoming gate of Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, perfect for a riverside stroll. Breakfast was also great, the spicy soup was delicious, and so were the vegetables. They even provide disposable bath towels, which is a real convenience. My only suggestions would be to have a larger duvet, as it was a bit small for two people, and perhaps some small wooden signs to guide guests to Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, otherwise it's easy to forget and always use the main entrance, haha.

Like coming home, receiving thoughtful care everywhere. Mo Shang Yi Su, though called a B&B, has long surpassed the typical 'agritainment' style. Its facilities rival those of a star-rated hotel, but with an added warmth and human touch that high-end hotels often lack. When I wanted to visit the Shaolin Temple scenic area, the proprietress said, ”Wait a moment, I'll drive you there.” Upon getting out, she didn't forget to remind me, ”Remember to call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up.” It was only about 600-700 meters, but it was incredibly heartwarming. As the sun set, the proprietress had already hosed down the rooftop terrace, suggesting we could go up and sit. After dinner, the entire B&B was filled with the scent of agarwood. Each floor also had an elegant tea room. After a day of sightseeing, the proprietress asked, ”What would you like to eat? We'll cook for you.” After ordering, she said, ”You can go back to your room first, we'll call you when the food is ready.” It truly felt like being at home. Before I left, the proprietress thoughtfully gave me a parting gift, allowing me to take some of that warmth home with me. As I checked out, the second-generation young man who drove me to the station shared some simple yet profound words: ”When we run a B&B, we don't compete with farm stays. We just focus on providing excellent service. We try our best to meet our guests' needs. If there's something we can't do, we find someone to help. And for requests guests haven't even made, we try to be thoughtful and proactive, striving to ensure guests leave with no regrets.” I wish the B&B family all the best and continued success!

Location: Situated in the small town of Longmen Grottoes, right at the entrance to the scenic area. It's a detached courtyard with many rooms, and the environment is superb. The decor is also very new. Although it's in a small town, it's not noisy at all at night. There are also many dining options nearby. Facilities: If you're driving, you can park in the scenic area's parking lot, which is only a 3-minute walk from the guesthouse. Parking for one night costs 20 yuan. Service: Warm service and well-managed. On the day of check-in, they even contacted us specifically to explain how to get there.
