One of the best stays I ever had. Really lovely homestay with excellent views, not too far from Huangshan South Entrance and in the middle of the mountains. Super friendly staff. Food was cooked by an auntie that made us feel like at home. There was a kitten at the front door greeting guests.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at our homestay! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that it was one of the best stays you've ever had. It means the world to us that you enjoyed the stunning mountain views, our convenient location near Huangshan South Entrance, and the warm hospitality of our team. We're especially glad that Auntie's cooking made you feel right at home. She puts her heart and soul into every dish, and we're delighted it resonated with you. And isn't our little kitten at the front door just the cutest greeter? We're happy it added an extra touch of charm to your stay. Your kind words have truly made our day, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable visit in the future. Until then, take care and safe travels! Warm regards, [山语民宿]

I had an incredible experience at this wonderful boutique hotel: the owners picked me up with their Tesla at the high-speed station Huangshan North. After arriving at the hotel, they showed me their beautiful tea hills in the hinterland and cooked a delicious dinner for me. Next morning they drove me to the south entrance gate after a healthy and yummy breakfast. In the evening we had a tea ceremony together. I learned so much about tea! At my last day the owner drove me around, we visited picturesque villages and he drove me back to the high speed railway station. Thank you again for this amazing experience! It was one of the the most special boutique hotel experiences I ever had! 谢谢

Response from Property: Dear guest, after reading your review, our entire team was so moved that they were speechless! You not only remembered every detail - from the Tesla pick-up to the sunset on the tea mountain, from the homemade dinner to the farewell at the South Gate in the morning - but also used words to bring this time back to life. It is our greatest honor to take you to experience the fun of picking and tasting tea and share the story of this land.
You said this is the 'most special boutique homestay experience'. For us, isn't it a precious encounter? The days when I took you to visit the village and talked about the tea ceremony like an old friend, I still smile when I think of it now~
Your recognition makes us firmly believe that a real homestay does not lie in luxurious facilities, but in the sincere connection between people. When we waved goodbye at the high-speed rail station, we began to look forward to the next reunion - maybe when the spring tea sprouts next year, I will make you a pot of freshly picked tea?
I sincerely wish you surprises everywhere on your journey, and remember that Huangshan will always have your friends!
Dear guest, after reading your review, our entire team is left speechless with emotion! Not only did you remember every detail—from the Tesla-up to the sunset over the tea mountains, from the home-cooked dinner to the morning departure at the South Gate—you brought that time back to life with your words It was our greatest privilege to guide you through the joys of tea picking and tasting, and to share the stories of this land.
You called it 'the most boutique homestay experience,' but wasn't it also a precious encounter for us? The days spent showing you around the village and chatting about tea like old friends still bring smile to our lips~
Your recognition has reinforced our belief that a true homestay is not about the most luxurious facilities, but about the sincere connection between people. we waved goodbye at the high-speed rail station, we began to look forward to our next reunion—perhaps when the spring tea buds sprout next year, we can brew another of fresh picked tea leaves for you?
Wishing you a journey filled with surprises everywhere, and remember that you always have a friend in Huangshan.

The hotel was stylish, modern, and convenient, and was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The breakfast was excellent, with filling and tasty food. The staff was friendly, courteous, and professional. The hotel provided free transport to and from the base of Yellow Mountain. The dinner at the hotel was delicious and very reasonably priced.
Response from Property: Baozi! I am really touched to receive such a thoughtful praise from you~ From decorating to preparing meals, from arranging transportation to training services, we have put a lot of thought into it, hoping to make everyone feel comfortable. It feels worth it to get your recognition! We will continue to work hard to make every corner of the homestay better~ Whether you come to climb Huangshan or just want to find a place to relax, you are welcome to come home often!

Staff very friendly - English a bit difficult but possible with translation app.

Hands down, best homestay we've ever had and best hotel in China in our one month trip across the country! The family is very nice and always makes sure everything is going smooth. They offer transportation, at a very convenient price, from and to the train station. Also, they offer free transportation to and from the Huangshan Scenic Transfer Center, which is great for the daily hikes. The room we had was very nice, spacious and super quiet all the time. Breakfast was great, freshly prepared every morning. The food they have at the restaurant is very good as well, we had dinner there every day and I would like to point out we had the best crispy chicken fingers ever; also the small river fish was very good. Overall, a great experience. We highly recommend this place, without thinking twice!
Response from Property: Hi there! Wow, your amazing review just made our day! 🤩 We're over the moon that you think our homestay is the “best in China” – that's the highest praise ever! Big thanks for loving our family - style service, the transportation arrangements (we aim to make your trips easy peasy!), and the cozy, quiet rooms. So glad the fresh breakfasts and yummy dinners, especially those crispy chicken fingers and small - river fish, hit the spot. We'll keep working hard to give every guest an experience as wonderful as yours. Can't wait to welcome you back someday – till then, take care and happy travels always! 🌄🍵

We had a perfect stay! Everything was perfect and well arranged. The service is amazing here. They will help you to get to the mountains (yellow mountains) by giving the right information and transfer to the foot of the mountains in the morning. We could even leave out luggage for 1 night to sleep at the top of the mountains. Besides the practical information, the service and breakfast/dinner is amazing! The food is so good and home made, you can really taste it. The owner of the honestay is very nice, she gave us a very lovely upgrade to a beautiful room, we loved it! Thanks for all!! And if we are able to, we would definitely return to the homestay.

The room was very clean, and the host is very friendly, offering to drive us everywhere around the surrounding area. There was even a small tea plantation area in the back of the hotel, so worth having a quick walk. Finally the place also serves authentic local breakfast with ingredients mainly sourced locally and optional dinner (payable separately) with good flavors.

We had a great stay overall! The service was exceptional, and the people who worked at the hotel were truly amazing—friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and that made a big difference in our experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of fresh options to choose from each morning. Honestly, the staff were the highlight of our stay. The only downsides were that the laundry service didn’t meet expectations, and the pool was green and not well-maintained—it looked quite different from the photos. Still, thanks to the outstanding team, we would definitely consider returning.
Response from Property: Dear guest, the recognition flowing from your pen is like a spring breeze, gently caressing our hearts. Your joy is the sweet dream we work hard for day and night. The flaws in the laundry service and the fact that the swimming pool did not meet our expectations were like small wrong notes in a piece of music, tugging at our hearts. We will repair these omissions with sincere craftsmanship, and wait for you to come back again to enjoy this new chapter of poetry in this world of service and scenery. Fangfei serves tea 🍵

My partner and I spent three wonderful days here and we would come back in an instant. It’s one of the most beautiful hotels we ever stayed at, and the staff is incredibly helpful. We had a huge terrace overlooking the fields, where we could just relax after some hectic days in Shanghai. The location is perfect, just outside the nearby town, but still close enough if you need anything. The hotels offers you a drop off to the main entrance of the Huangshan scenic area, which only takes about 10 minutes, so that you can be there early in the morning. When you visit the mountains, be sure not to miss out on the Western sea grand valley, it has less visitors and views are amazing. On our other day we visited nearby village Bishan, which was great, a cute little village with some artsy little cafes, eateries and shops. You can easily take a didi there. Every evening we had our meals at the hotel, which were delicious, and the breakfast was also outstanding, having both some local and western treats. We couldn’t be happier with our stay here. Many thanks to the staff!

Excellent! This is the best option to stay in the Huangshan area to visit the mountains and surroundings. This boutique hotel is located extremely quietly in the middle of the bamboo forests and tea plantations away from the bustle and hustle, busy streets, people and noisy restaurants- exactly what we needed after a day on the mountain. At the same time it’s only 5-10 minutes away from the South entrance gate, which the hotel will shuttle you to whenever you need. Overall the service and the owners are so so great and helpful with everything.
The hotel overall and the rooms are so tastefully designed, high quality, 1000% clean and everything is tidied up (no messy piles anywhere - unlike in other boutique hotels in China).
You can conveniently get dinner in the hotel, the seating area is beautiful, quiet, designed perfectly and the food was delicious. Breakfast is Chinese breakfast but they are so sweet and offer cereals and toast if you like, however, i brought some other options for my parents which they kindly kept in the fridge.
They also took us to their own tea mountain to watch the sunset and Huangshan Mountain from afar - very special!!! Highly recommend that! The other hiking recommendations (besides than going up Huangshan) were a great addition. I recommend a three night stay, that’s just perfect.
Everything is even nicer than on the pictures, a pleasant and unusual surprise!!
You will not regret to choose this hotel, i stayed in other hotels in Huangshan before and this is the best option with regards to location (!!), design and service.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The property itself is beautiful and exceptionally clean, making for a very comfortable experience. After a long day in the mountains, the showers and bath were perfect for unwinding and relaxing.
The food was excellent—delicious and well-prepared, adding to the overall enjoyment of the stay. The lobby had a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to sit back, relax, and spend time with others.
The real standout, however, was the staff. They were outstanding—welcoming, helpful, and incredibly caring. From the moment I arrived, they made sure every detail was taken care of, which made the experience even more special.
I will definitely be returning, hopefully when the weather in the mountains is better. Highly recommended!
