Host Chen did an amazing job welcoming us to Xidi. She was responsive, friendly, and happy to accommodate us. She picked us up at the gate, helped settle an issue with payment for the Xidi entry ticket, and gave us a tour of Xidi. She took amazing pictures of us, she definitely knows where the best photoshoot spots are! She made us buns with fresh local bamboo shoots at check-in, it was delicious! They also prepared breakfast for us very early in the morning at our request, since we were leaving at 7:30am. We only stayed in Xidi for one night but we enjoyed our stay so much, we would like to come again, especially in Spring when the yellow canola flowers are in bloom. Definitely recommend staying here!

The room was clean and located very close to the entrance. The heating in the room was very strong. The toilet and bathroom were separate, which was convenient for guests. However, while the bathroom had an exhaust fan, the toilet did not, which would be much better.

The lady boss was quick to respond when we rang her for directions. Since Hongcun village is traffic free she came to meet us with a trolley to help us to carry our bags. It was so thoughtful of her! And her thoughtfulness extended beyond that. Our room was spotlessly clean with full amenities & we had a good night’s sleep. Our host provided us with pertinent information regarding the performances available. We managed to catch the tea dance so gracefully performed to lovely music. To our regret it was drizzling that night so the night performance was cancelled. Hongchun truly deserved its fame as one of the loveliest (if not the loveliest!) ancient towns in China. Our pleasure was further enhanced by the warm hospitality provided by the Qingyou Bieyuan Inn. Indeed when we left the lady boss presented us each with a bottle of freshly picked chrysanthemum flowers!

A truly charming accommodation with a beautiful view over the village. The room was very spacious and perfectly equipped; there was even a small seating area where we enjoyed playing cards, as well as a bathtub. A small tip: you need to buy a ticket to enter the village in order to access the accommodation. There are also some nice local restaurants in the village. In the evening, there is a great fountain and water jet show. The only small downside was that there was never anyone at the reception, so we couldn’t ask a few questions. Despite this, we would definitely recommend this place.

This homestay was satisfactory. It was very well located in the old town and easy to find. However, there was no one at the front desk when I arrived or throughout the stay. I had to call and then wait for about 10 minutes before someone arrived. When the host arrived they seemed unsure about my reservation, was on call with someone else, and didn’t provide any service or information about the local area. A while after I entered the room there was a bad smell from the bathroom drain that remained for the rest of my stay. There was another bad smell in the morning of my 2nd day. I walked outside my room to find that an animal had pooped outside my door. Maybe a cat? It is unfortunate because this was a beautiful home and Hongcun is a stunning town, but it did not feel like the homestay was very well serviced or cleaned. I’m sure they can improve before the next stay!

早就想來皖南看看水墨江南了 很高興來到西遞訂到了這家民宿古居·半耕草堂 真的是一次特別愉快的住宿體驗 這家店是明清保存下來的古居改成的 衹做了四間房 進門就受到深深的歷史沉澱感 院裏院外都是客棧老闆自己淘置的老物件古董古蹟 明顯的感到房主的用心經營 我們來時已經傍晚 沿着西遞古村的田野小路踏進了客棧 “燈火深時書有味，墨花晨綻字生香”用這句詩來形容草堂的夜景是更合適不過了。管家小哥非常熱心的給我們介紹每處建築環境細節來由 旁邊有個小閣樓真是讓我驚喜不斷 一樓是茶室 管家小哥熱情耐心地挑選茶葉茶品 供我們浸泡飲用 真的有被感動到🥹 二樓是觀景台還有架古箏 牆上處處的字畫瓷器木雕等等 足以讓人聯想到古時大户人家的院門生活。入住這家民宿 真的幫我加了很多分 沉浸學習到很多徽州文化帶來的魅力 給我這次“文化之旅”圓滿的畫上了句號哈哈。 下次再來一定還會入住半耕草堂 這邊去附近碧山 呈坎 宏村 屏山等等景區都很近！😊

The Inn is located inside the Scenic area, the room is clean but relatively small especially the bathroom. The soundproofing is poor as you can hear clearly what’s happening at the next room. The common area at the ground floor is a bit messy. Quite dark at night. The only plus point is the Inn is located inside the Scenic area. Actually the Inn’s location is a bit difficult for a traveler to find, if the owner hadn’t come out to fetch me, I wouldn’t have been able to find the Inn at all. Besides that, the pathway at the Scenic area is made of stone, full of potholes and quite dirty, thus it’d be a nightmare to pull a luggage all the way from the bus station to the Inn. The Scenic area has become too commercial and super crowded, it is impossible to have a nice and quiet stroll to enjoy the scenery. The only time you can have a quiet walk is before 6am morning. I myself will definitely not coming back.

Beautiful house located in a quiet part of the ancient village. As you’ll read in many reviews, the host provides excellent service, and I felt like I was meeting a friend. He took me to and from the gate of the village to the house and helped me carry my luggage. He also helped me arrange a ride back to the train station - there were some issues and he took the time to sort it out with the drivers on my behalf, which was above and beyond. The host and I talked about traveling and I could tell he was someone who was genuine and wanted to be as helpful as possible. The room is beautiful with huge windows and lots of thoughtful details. I had wonderful rests here while it was too hot outside. From the window you can see some rooftops of Hui architecture. The village isn’t big, so all the sights are nearby

The hotel is very beautiful, an ancestral traditional Chinese hotel, the host also offers a friendly service and very helpful. The surroundings is pretty close to go to visit the Hongcun scenic area and you never get bored in the neighborhood. I can’t wait to come back, thanks!!

Honestly it was about all you can ask for for the price. Didn’t blow me away but the price was fair and the service was good (if you speak mandarin)
