Yi County Hotels with balcony

"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."

"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."

"I was surprised at how thoughtful the amenities were in this old house! The air conditioning heated evenly, keeping us warm in winter, and the hot water in the bathroom came quickly, so we didn't have to wait to wash up. The owner even helped us plan a one-day itinerary, avoiding congested routes. Although the room wasn't spacious, the overall experience was smooth and we had no regrets."

"This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in, and the most vivid experience of my life. I have never seen anything like it before. The feeling of living in the clouds brings you closer to God. After just two days of our stay, I felt like a completely different person. This has been one of the most powerful and memorable experiences of my life. The service and overall quality of the hotel are at the highest possible level. I am truly grateful for everything. We also celebrated a birthday there, and upon my request for fresh flowers, the hotel staff went above and beyond — they created a stunning handmade bouquet for my beloved instead. It was a beautiful surprise for her, and I deeply appreciate this thoughtful gesture. Top rating, the best hotel, and outstanding service. I highly recommend visiting this place."

"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."

"I was free, and finally had time to talk about my favorite place in this trip. I thought that Yuanyuan was an ordinary homestay, but I didn't expect surprises everywhere. The boss is very artistic, arranged with special care, and very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to help us guide the vehicle to the parking lot. The grandmother I met in the hotel was also very kind and would ask us if it was cold or not, which made people feel particularly warm. The rooms are fully equipped, and there are all mid-to-high-end hotels. They are clean, tidy and hygienic, and they are particularly safe to live. The boss is also very warm and friendly, kind and measured, maintaining a sense of distance. I really recommend everyone to experience it. The children returned to the room and kept talking about the uncle of the hotel. They wanted to go to him to play, not afraid at all. The details are full and the experience is great!"

"Excellent! Very close to the bus stop, the room was large and clean, breakfast included a selection of your favorite dishes, the restaurant downstairs was delicious, and it was very close to tourist attractions. They even gave us a gift and drove us to the bus stop when we left."

"Location: The hotel is situated within the Xidi Scenic Area. Upon check-in, each room receives two complimentary adult tickets to Xidi, with each adult ticket allowing one child to enter for free. The tickets are valid for 3 days, meaning a family of two adults and two children staying here can enjoy free entry to the scenic area. Facilities: The hotel boasts excellent facilities. The bathroom amenities and bedding are of good quality, and the decor has a charming traditional aesthetic. The complimentary items provided, such as the peach wood comb, toiletries, towels, and cotton-linen slippers, are all of high quality. It feels like you're bringing home a lot of lovely souvenirs after just one stay! Service: The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming, always greeting guests with a smile and patiently resolving any issues. Breakfast is quite generous, and in the evenings, they even provide complimentary chilled mung bean soup and Bingfen (a local dessert) when you return to your room. Environment: The hotel is nestled amidst ancient architecture and traditional gardens. Staying here allows you to truly appreciate the distinctive black tiles, white walls, and blue bricks of Huizhou's ancient buildings. I only wish I could have stayed for a few more days!"

"After descending Huangshan, I came to Hongcun to stay for one night. The proprietress contacted me in advance to inquire about the situation and helped me to arrange a carpooling. The driver said that this homestay is pretty good in this area. After checking in, I was not disappointed. The boss helped me carry my luggage into the room. The room was clean and bright, with welcome fruits and snacks. The toilet had a flush function, the toiletries were complete, the bedding was comfortable, and there was a bathrobe. The slippers are super thick, the same thickness as the ones I stayed in at a five-star resort hotel before! This is so thoughtful😊This time I specially booked a room with a bathtub. The price is very cost-effective with a bathtub. Taking a bath can effectively relieve fatigue. My boss heated up breakfast for me in the morning, which was light and nutritious. After I packed up and checked out, the boss sent me to the entrance of the scenic area. When I finished, I contacted the boss's wife and she brought my luggage to me and then took me to the bus station. The experience of staying here was very good. It can be seen that the boss and his wife run this homestay very carefully. If I have the opportunity to come here again in the future, I will choose your homestay. I wish you a prosperous business!"

"This courtyard is truly lovely, surrounded by greenery. It's incredibly comfortable to stay here, and this particular room has a small balcony, which is perfect for enjoying the view – a great choice! The owner confirms your itinerary beforehand to arrange pick-up and drop-off, and even helps with luggage. They're really nice."
