Homestays in Henan, China

This B&B is located within Luoyi Ancient City. Though the entrance isn't grand, once you step inside, it feels like a hidden gem. It's built in the style of a traditional courtyard house, with a rooftop terrace that offers a close-up view of the Drum Tower. The whole place has such a wonderful vibe. We booked a king-size room with a private balcony, which was quite spacious. The furnishings had an antique charm, and waking up to the sounds of roosters crowing and birds chirping was incredibly comforting. The mattress and pillows were just the right firmness, perfect for recovering after a day of sightseeing. The bathroom amenities were also excellent, with a lovely fragrance. The towels were soft and comfortable, and surprisingly, they even provided a bath mat, which you usually only find in high-end hotels. It made us feel both reassured and pampered – seems like the owner has great taste! 😉 The front desk staff was also very welcoming and helpful, providing recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants. However, there was one minor issue: the bathroom mirror in the room was a bit impractical. It was quite far from the sink, and there was no magnifying mirror 🪞. As someone who needs to get close to the mirror to put in contact lenses, I found this inconvenient. 😂 Overall, though, I would definitely recommend this B&B! 👍👍👍

If I could give 11/10, I would. I came on the day of the heaviest snow this year. Just when I thought everything went wrong, it turned out to be memorable. Flight delay, then airport delayed flight parking due to the snow. My booked Didi (another app) driver left. Was stuck in the ONLY didi driver’s shared car making its way from Zhengzhou to Luoyang — he drove from 11pm to 5.30 am going at 40 to 50 km/h because the roads were iced up and slippery (even his car had slid through and hit the barriers twice) . The owner added the driver’s contact and waited up all night until the early morning for me to check in and carry the luggage up. The price, the location and the very nice owner make this homestay an excellent one — better than a hotel. There isn’t any elevators but the owner helps out with the luggage. The room is large and comfortable. He had turned on the heating for me before I arrived to warm up the room. The breakfast is delicious. The homestay is near to Luoyi Ancient city (a few minutes walk) and Luoyi Ancient City metro. His hand-drawn map highlights all the good spots. His daughter is adorable too.

Our stay at Qichi Riverside B&B in Luoyang was truly wonderful! The location is great, very close to Luoyi Ancient City, and the surroundings are beautiful and quiet. The B&B host was incredibly kind and thoughtful. They helped us hang our clothes to dry and even lent us their phone number to order takeout 📱. Every day, there was hot coffee and milk tea available, and before we left, they even gave us a small gift. It was full of warm hospitality ❤️.

This hotel is located inside Longmen Old Street, just outside the Longmen Grottoes scenic area. It's a large property with a great ambiance, and the rooms are spacious and very comfortable – totally exceeding expectations. The facilities are also excellent. The service was fantastic, and the breakfast was much richer than I anticipated based on previous reviews, offering a wide variety including pastries, noodles, cooked dishes, Western options, and fruits. The location is superb; there's a local milk tea shop called Peony Pavilion right downstairs. If you take the shuttle bus from the Buddha worshipping platform at Longmen Grottoes to the Northwest service area, the drop-off point is only about 200 meters from the hotel. For someone who's walked 10,000 steps exploring the grottoes, this distance is incredibly convenient!

Locarion is nearby to Luoyi Ancient Town. The room service was superb. The hostess upgrades us to bigger room when there's availability. All other staff will help us in making the stay comfortable, including helping us move our luggages to the other rooms when needed. The hostess recommended us places to eat and helped to call to confirm our Empress Wu feast seats. Absolutely a delight to stay there.

The best hotel to stay in Luoyang, perfect location in the oldtown part of the city. It ais a beautiful newly renovated heritage house turned into hotel. The staffs are amazing, very helpful. My husband got injured during this trip and the staffs so helpful with everything to make sure our holiday went smoothly. Room was quite big for 3 of us, all equipped with smart tech. Staffs speak abit english but there is a translator device and we communicate with wechat so no problem at all. Very recommended place to stay in luoyang

This guesthouse is really lovely. It's nestled right inside the ancient city, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling streets. The atmosphere is great, the service is attentive, and it's super convenient for exploring the old town. If you're not in the mood for sightseeing, just relaxing at the guesthouse, sipping tea, and enjoying the view is incredibly pleasant. Definitely worth a stay!

1️⃣ Location: 300 meters next to Longsui Mountain is this homestay, in the villa area of No. 80, quite good. 2️⃣ Service: I live in the landlord’s villa. There are always people in the public area on the first floor. Basically, what I need is what I need. There are guest consumables on the shelf on the first floor. There are parking spaces at the door. The boss is also happy. I think I occasionally invite the tenants to go to the tea table on the first floor to drink tea, but I am an i person and I didn’t go. Haha, the landlord also put a lot of water on the table at the door of the room, basically used it casually. I drank eight or nine bottles in two days. I checked that it was their local Songdu Juquan. A bottle of water was about 3-4 yuan. The boss will also pick you up when you enter and leave. It is very family-friendly and the service is very good. 3️⃣ The sanitation is very clean, the quilt cover has no smell, the room has no smell, the bathroom is clean, the floor is not dirty, the bathroom is also very clean, quite good. 4️⃣ Cost-effective, this is really invincible, 180 rented a room with a terrace, the room has 30 ㎡, the terrace feels 40 ㎡, the boss's backyard is under the terrace, and there are bonsai and fish. In summary, the boss is very good, there is an elevator at home, brothers and sisters can rest assured, super cost-effective

It is our first time in China - it was a great stay - owner is very helpful - helped us to organise the tickets to Zen Music Festival, and she showed us the attractions in the area, we enjoyed the food - traditional breakfast, we had traditional hot pot for the dinner - great experience, also she made for us in the evening traditional tea (Pu-erh, and green tea) - unforgettable moments. Thank you very much for the hospitality.

After much deliberation, I chose Jinyuan Wenfuyuan, and its location is truly superb! It's just a few minutes' walk from Luoyi Old City subway station, and very close to Shizijie and Lijingmen. The area is lively, yet the guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat, so my stay wasn't affected by any noise. As for service, the staff called me in advance and even added me on WeChat to give me directions and share many local recommendations for food and attractions. It was perfect for an introvert like me, as the staff didn't intrude, but daily linen replenishment was always on point, and the room was kept spotless – truly thoughtful! The room environment is genuinely good, with smart voice control throughout, a smart toilet, and excellent soundproofing. This time, because we had a 'special forces' (fast-paced) itinerary, we picked a smaller room. Next time, I'll definitely choose a bigger one, especially since both of us are quite tall. The only minor drawback was that the shower threshold was a bit low, causing water to spill out during showering, though it dried quickly. In terms of price, this guesthouse is truly competitive, given its prime location – it's a real bargain! All in all, I would definitely recommend it to friends and family; the experience was fantastic! Luoyang is beautiful, Jinyuan is great, and I'll be back!
