Very nice old house, with great design. Clean and comfy beds
The team is super welcoming, and helpful.
The food is good too, and we were happily surprised with the western breakfast!
We really appreciated our stay! Highly recommended.
Response from Property: Thank you for your nice comments. Lost World consists of 4 old traditional Dong people wood houses, all of which are over 100 years. Fengzi, our South African architect and designer, went thru lots of efforts to work together with our local ingenious carpenters. And he taught our local staff to cook some western breakfast. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Have a lovely day!

What an absolutely unique and delightful property! It was a pleasure to stay here and experience a bit of history. These buildings have been carefully and lovingly restored through the efforts of the property owner and a dedicated architect—both men were at the homestay during my visit, which was a treat. Comfy bed, delicious food, lovely and attentive staff—if you need anything, just ask. I enjoyed just wandering around and getting lost in the village. Oh yes, I do not speak Chinese and traveled alone, but the owner speaks perfect English and contacted me in advance of my stay. He added me on WeChat and was hugely supportive in getting me to Chengyang and Lost World from Longji area. The staff were ready with Baidu translator so communication was a breeze.
Response from Property: Thank you for your lovely comments. The Lost World Guesthouse are old building over 100 years that were homes of local villagers. They moved out to nearby place and put up brick houses and we rushed in to save these houses from becoming fire wood. Old wood from other pulled down houses were also used to fortify the floors and walls and also to improve insulation. The architect is from South Africa and passionate about saving old houses. Glad you ventured out this far to Lost World Sanjiang. And thank you for your explation of your expectation of food. We are flexible with catering and ready to meet different requests. Though you do not speak Chinese, having a translator like Baidu translator helps a lot. Hope more of your friends get to visit this lovely area of China. Have a nice day!

The crowds are not very dense. The environment of the B&B is good and the service is first-rate. We will arrive as soon as you send a message. The B&B is very convenient for nearby sightseeing areas and the pastoral environment is beautiful!

The B&B is in Ma'anzhai, the first village in Bazhai, and the famous Chengyang Wind and Rain Bridge is right next to us. Thank you for your evaluation of our good service. , we strive to provide guests with useful information to facilitate check-in and sightseeing; the B&B is very convenient to the nearby small attractions, usually within walking distance, plus unlimited rides on scenic buses, so you can get on the bus when you are tired of walking; this scenic spot is indeed a A nice place with nice idyllic scenery. Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again!

The service is enthusiastic. I contacted you before checking in to remind you of various check-in and travel matters. The pick-up and drop-off were timely. They even helped to book a banquet and deliver it to the restaurant!
The accommodation environment is clean, retains the original Dong characteristics, and makes your stay comfortable!

Response from Property: Thank you for your review and sharing. Our homestay is in the village of Chengyang Bazhai, which is not easy to find, so we try to contact you in advance. Of course, it would be better if you can contact us immediately after booking; we will always send you information about the homestay and scenic spots to facilitate your travel plans-it is really convenient to arrange in advance; the Hundred Family Banquet in the village is not available every day, we will ask which day it is available, and then help you participate in and experience this grand ceremony of the Dong people. The homestay is a stilt house of the Dong people for more than a hundred years. The housekeepers work hard to maintain the homestay clean and hygienic. I am glad that you like it here. Welcome you and your friends to come again next time!

The design style of the room is very beautiful, and the boss is also very enthusiastic! The environment is very good! Very beautiful. If I have the opportunity to come next time, I will continue to choose to stay at this place. It is worthy of being the light of Chengyang Bazhai B&B! I really like living in a B&B like this!

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. The room design combines traditional Dong culture with modern facilities. The design and decoration are done by a South African designer ** who loves China. The house is a renovation of the local people's self-occupied housing. The appearance and structure are well preserved, giving guests a window to fully integrate into the local Dong culture. Our B&B service staff are enthusiastic, especially the Dong ladies who are the housekeepers of the B&B. The Dong people have fully absorbed the inheritance of Chinese culture, especially being modest and low-key. Thank you for comparing us to the "light of Chengyang Bazhai B&B". We still need to work hard. Thank you again for sharing your travel experience and wish you a happy life!

We arrived at the hotel at 4 or 5 pm on the day of check-in, and there was no sound of renovation next to us. But the next morning at 7 or 8, the next door (right next to it) started to renovate, and I couldn't sleep at all. And the three skylights on the ceiling would start to shine directly into my eyes at 6 or 7 in the morning, and I couldn't rest at all because of the dazzle of the sun.
Hygiene: The inside of the toothbrush cup in the bathroom was full of black and yellow scale and dust
Service: The next day, I communicated with the housekeeper of the homestay and asked why they didn't tell me that the next door was being renovated when I checked in. The housekeeper meant "I can't do it". If you can't do this little thing, do you deserve this price? You knew that the next door was being renovated, but you didn't tell me in advance, but blamed the guests for not going to bed and getting up early? If you can't do this homestay well, don't do it, okay?

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. Because the homestay is in the village, the neighbors on both sides are the neighbors in the village, and we really have no way to know their renovation plans in advance. The villagers here go to bed after 9 pm unless it is their holiday, and get up early in the morning, getting up around 7 o'clock to work in the fields. If there is decoration, it will start around 7-8 o'clock; I asked the housekeepers about the hygiene situation and found that some cups have scale, which is our problem and we have started to solve this problem; in addition, the bright tiles on the roof, although there are wooden bars that can be closed, our housekeeper did not tell you, which is our failure. Thank you for your criticism and wish you a happy life!

I am very satisfied with the design, which highlights the Dong ethnic architectural style and adds a lot of modern facilities. It is very cold outside in winter, but the heating inside is very warm. The century-old wooden house has a feeling.

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. You are a friend with designer talent (or are you a designer?). The design characteristics of the homestay are also reflected in the integration of Dong culture, whether it is the color or the furniture made of old wood (the tabletop made of a whole door panel is very impressive); modern facilities are necessary because we want to give guests from afar a home-like experience; the wooden house is warm in winter and cool in summer, but the sound insulation is not as good as that of cement buildings. Thank you for your review, welcome to come again next time!

Response from Property: Thank you for your good comments! I'm glad that you like the style of the homestay. This is the century-old stilt house architectural culture tradition of the Dong ethnic group, which is rare now. The excellent design of South African designer ** has beautifully presented the Dong culture. Auntie is a girl from the Dong ethnic group in the village. She is warm and hospitable, and her cooking is delicious. She can make meals that suit your taste. Thank you for your visit and wish you a happy work and life!

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. The B&B is a reconstruction of the century-old stilt house in Chengyang Bazhai of the Dong nationality, retaining the old wood and style of the house; the village is surrounded by the former rice fields and small rivers, which have not been developed and is a paradise; I am glad that you have found a suitable B&B, which is the meaning of travel. I wish you a happy life!

Response from Property: Thank you for your comments. Lost World is located in Ma'an village of Chengyang Eight Village park, a quiet village with easy access to the shopping street and Chengyang Wind and Rain Bridge. Rooms & beds are comfortable and clean with good facilities. But booking with this website does not come with breakfast. We will see if we can come up with a different breakfast inclusive package in the future. Many thanks for staying with us and wish you a lovely time in China.

A very distinctive old house with a beautiful window view, and the landlord is very nice!

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. The house of Nanyi B&B is indeed a century-old stilt house of the Dong ethnic group. This house is the best and largest in the B&B, 90 square meters, and has the most complete facilities. The large balcony on the second floor is simply beautiful. As for the landlord, you are very happy because he is a good person, haha. The key is that the housekeeper is good, because they provide local services, they are all Dong girls in the village, and they are warm and hospitable. In addition, you are very happy because you can appreciate such traditional culture, haha.

I drove to Chengyang Bazhai with my old parents and two kids. In addition to the scenery, the most impressive thing is that the scenic area is surprisingly clean. In two days, whether it is the main road or the village, I didn't see a cigarette butt on the road, didn't see a piece of paper, and there was no trace of spitting. Even the top cover of the roadside trash can can be used to eat instant noodles. It was spotless. My father walked all the way and observed all the way like a patrol team. This scenic spot is also the only one we have encountered with an underground parking lot. The parking space is wide and the level of the parking lot is as high as the scenic spot.
The homestay should be the best in the village. There are many forks in the ancient village, but if you ask Nanyi Mingju how to get there, everyone in the village knows it. The homestay is very close to Fengyu Bridge and Commercial Street, with convenient transportation, clean rooms, no odor, tea sets, refrigerators, and showers with hot water. Because of the off-peak travel, I can't book a room to choose from. The boss recommended a room. The scenery is invincible. I decisively paid the difference to stay. It's a rare trip to support rural revitalization and Chengyang's 5A. Let's do something practical. The boss's family has a restaurant, where we ate local specialties and drank local homemade wine, which was quite special. Unfortunately, we had to travel the next day, so we had to stay for 3 or 5 days to rest and recuperate.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for your detailed review. The scenic area management of Chengyang Bazhai has indeed achieved a lot in the past two years: a few years ago, the chickens in the village were free-range, and chicken droppings could be seen everywhere on the road, and villagers would also litter cigarette butts. In recent years, the scenic area has invited people from the village to clean up every day, and they have done a good job; the scenic area has also solved some employment problems for the local area - this is an important part of the sustainable development of the countryside; the underground parking lot of the scenic area is great, with seven or eight new energy vehicle charging piles, and equipped with an elevator directly to the ground visitor center, which is reasonably designed; I especially want to praise the public toilets in the scenic area, which are clean and hygienic, with hand dryers, toilet paper and dry hand paper, as well as incense, which is simply better than the toilets in other scenic spots - You must experience it when you come here; Nanyi B&B has been actively integrated into the life of the village since its establishment (2019) and made many friends. Everyone treats us as their own people. Every time we come back, it feels like going home; Ma'an Village, where the B&B is located, is a good place to find peace in the hustle and bustle. Next door is Yan Village, where a small commercial street is quite lively and convenient for eating; the room you upgraded is the best room in the B&B, with the best view and the most complete facilities. I am glad that you chose this luxury suite; the B&B restaurant is also managed by the B&B housekeeper (the Dong ethnic sister in the village). They cook delicious dishes and almost all guests like their meals; next to your room is the famous winery in the village, with reasonable prices and good quality. It is a good thing worth tasting and taking back; thank you for coming to Chengyang Bazhai to support rural revitalization with us. You are right. You can stay here for 3-5 days when you are free to quietly cultivate your health. Thank you again for your stay, and welcome to Chengyang Bazhai and Nanyi B&B again!

It was a great travel experience. The folk owner and waiter were very enthusiastic. The hotel is located next to the Ma'an Village Drum Tower Square, which is very convenient for participating in activities. The wooden village upstairs is indeed a bit noisy, but we are lucky that the residents upstairs don't make much noise at night.

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. This is a traditional village of the Chinese Dong people. The Dong people are warm and hospitable. The stage building of the B&B is just behind the stage of the Drum Tower Square of Ma'an Village. It is quiet in a busy place and conveniently located. The Drum Tower Square is where the elderly in the village chat and the children play games. The Hundred Family Banquet is also held here (irregularly). The B&B is a century-old stilt house. The sound insulation of the wooden house is not very good, so friends who stay here must abide by the rules of walking lightly and speaking softly. I am glad that the guests upstairs are of good quality and did not cause you any inconvenience. Thank you for visiting Nanyi B&B and Chengyang Bazhai. This is a small paradise. Welcome to visit again.
