Dengfeng Homestays

This is a wonderful place to stay. The owner and his wife are incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating. It’s just a few minutes from the Shaolin Temple, and the owner even offered transportation to and from the site. The food is delicious, I tried the egg fried rice, Sichuan Mala chicken, and Mala tofu (beancurd). the portions are generous and easily enough for 2–3 people. The rooftop offers stunning views of the mountains, and the owner is happy to serve tea if you’d like. There are also clothes-drying areas on the 2nd and 5th floors. While language differences limit conversation, the couple’s kindness and hospitality truly shine through. I would absolutely stay here again if I return. Heads-up: I wanted to go to Luoyang, and the owner kindly took me to a nearby spot where the bus stops. She even spoke to the driver to help me get on the right bus. After a while, the driver informed me through a note that he was heading to Gongyi instead. He asked me to get down and pointed towards another bus. I then took the bus, confirming with the driver that it was going to Luoyang before boarding. However, the same thing happened again; the driver stopped halfway and asked me to take a taxi. It seemed like the taxi driver might have been the bus driver’s acquaintance as he boarded the bus right after bus stops. The taxi driver initially quoted me 150 yuan to take me to my hotel in Luoyang. I wanted to use Didi, but the app couldn’t recognise the hotel’s name. Since the hotel was only a few meters from the Longmen Grottoes, I knew the fare should be around 65 yuan. I showed him the price on the app and he eventually agreed on 100 yuan. My advice: if you’re unsure of the bus route, go directly to the bus station. They will help you find the correct bus to your destination and let you know if any transfers are needed. This experience ended up being quite inconvenient, costing me both time and money. What should have been a 30-yuan trip from Dengfeng to Luoyang ended up costing me three times more. The owner had nothing to do with this, it’s just a heads-up for anyone planning to take the bus.

We are a couple from Sweden that has been backpacking around the world for two years and we usually travel a lot. The stay was very nice! Very comfy bed with great duna and linen. The shower was awesome! And the room is beautiful. The breakfast room/reception is nice to relax at and there is also a living room when you enter the building were you can relax as well. Try to get a room on a higher floor and you get some mountain views. The owners are lovely and the husband is a somilier and gave us a glass of wine for free when we ordered dinner. You really need to try their food! It was really nice and so was the breakfast. We had dinner twice when we were there, try the sizzling beef and mushrooms. The staff is really nice and helpful especially the owners brother that helped us a lot with everything! We will for sure stay here again when we visit Dengfeng. We did some really long hikes around Dengfeng and it is really worth it. Thanks, Kind regards Johannes and Ebba

I didn't expect to find such a great B&B near Shaolin Temple. The room was clean, the bedding was comfortable, and Songshan Mountain was visible from the window. There was a poetry collection by the bed, and the food was delicious. Most importantly, it's pet-friendly, not the kind that says ”friendly” but rolls their eyes. Before we left, the owner said he'd take us to the entrance of the scenic area, but we didn't (and got scammed once along the way). You could have saved 15 yuan on parking fees, but you still have to listen to advice when you're out and about.

I had an incredibly enjoyable time here. The boss and his family are adorable and very available. The rooms are clean and quiet. The house is well located next to the central street and shops. It’s very easy to get to places of interest around and find a taxi. The boss knows his region very well and he loves history. I had a fabulous stay. cherry on the cake, his brother-in-law makes burgers and a delicious coffee two minutes away.

The room is very clean, tidy, spacious and bright. The quilts, sheets and covers are all new, white and comfortable. The bathroom is also very clean. I have to give special praise to the two brothers who own the B&B. They are so nice. They always respond to our requests and solve our problems. We took a bus to Dengfeng Station, and Boss Wang personally drove to pick us up at the B&B. It was really rare. When we returned, Boss Wang was waiting for us at the gate and insisted on giving us a few bottles of water, saying that we were thirsty on the way. He also said that he would send a car to take us to the bus station. A few bottles of water are nothing, but his feelings cannot be expressed by a few bottles of water. It really feels like home. Just one word: Excellent! All five stars!

The place is located in a housing area, where the location is just walking distance to Song Yang Shu Yuan. The lady owner is kind enough to greet me on arrival and guide me to the place. It is quite difficult to look for the place because there is no clear sign board. However, the renovation is good. The water heater and air con are functioning well. The owner gave me useful information on my trip.

The door is relatively small, but the cafe next to it is still more conspicuous and easy to find. After entering the store, the staff is still more professional. After the check-in is quickly completed, we enthusiastically help us take the luggage to the room. After entering the room, our eyes shine. There is not only a sofa TV, but also a washing machine and kitchen. This feeling of being both a homestay and a home is too suitable for work and play. There are drinks in the refrigerator. The kitchen even has a knife plate. There are shops for daily needs downstairs. The homestay is very close to Kung Fu performances and Lushan, including the snack street at night. This location is really perfect. You can feel the calm of fleeing the world, and you can also feel the lively and extraordinary food street. This not only provides convenience for us who live temporarily, It can also bring practicality to permanent passengers

A homestay that deserves 100 points! The room is clean and tidy, and the towels and other supplies are of good quality. It is much more comfortable than the three or four hundred hotels I booked before! The breakfast is also delicious! There are many kinds of food! Eat well! The most important thing is! The uncles and aunts are very enthusiastic, considerate, and friendly (a hundred words of praise omitted here). The next day, we went to climb Songshan Mountain, and the luggage was stored in the homestay. I came back at 6 o'clock after climbing. Because I had to go to Zhengzhou to take the high-speed rail at 9 o'clock, I wanted to rest in the lobby. The uncles and aunts were not impatient at all! Instead, they brought us water and bananas from time to time, and fried cakes for us a little later in case we were hungry! It's really so nice! With such a boss, it's hard not to be happy! Highly recommended! I will definitely stay here when I come to play in the future! I hope the uncles and aunts have a prosperous business! Good health!

Very familial guesthouse as close as it can be from Shaolin Monastery. The owners cook good food and can drive you everywhere for a price. The wife is a guide, so she's very resourceful about what to see and do in the area. The husband's brother is a Shaolin monk so you can speak about kung-fu with him. We had a little misunderstanding at the beginning as I had booked a room with a mountain view and the one prepared had no window to the outside but I was able to change rooms. With their help I was able to hike everywher on the beautiful mountains around as I was less interested in kung-fu than the scenery.

The boss warmly invited us to drink tea and gave us travel suggestions. The lady boss is kind-hearted and super nice. The children like her very much. The overall decoration style is Chinese style, very stylish. The room is clean, tidy, warm and comfortable. If you have friends to visit, I will definitely recommend this place.
