Homestays in Jiangxi, China

this is gonna be a full review and honest opinion based on my experience while i was here. im a female hijabi from malaysia. as someone who came here alone, i felt very very safe and comfortable while im staying here. 1. let’s start with the owner first. fyi this stay is run by a mother and daughter. the owner is so sweet and very helpful 😭 couldn’t thank her enough. 🙏🏻 before i came here, i prayed to so hard that Allah will sent me good people to ease my journey in China, and He listened. for some reason, my Alipay and Wechatpay got problems to make payment. so i was really really hungry for the whole day because i couldn’t buy any food and i don’t have any cash. thankfully I still have my instant noodle, so i asked the owner if i could have a plastic bowl, that alone would be enough so i can eat. soon she came upstairs with 2 plastic bowl and 2 chopsticks. after that, i was trying to charge my phone but apparently my universal charger wasn’t universal-ing?? 💀 so i asked the owner again if she got any charger for me to borrow. and yes she even offered to sent it to my room. mind you my room was at the highest level of that building (lvl 5 if im not mistaken )😭 i feel bad but thankful at the same time. the next day, i finally solved my problems by using Touch n Go. thankfully that worked. since then i had trust issues with online payment, so i decided to exchange some RMB cash with the owner. fast forward she did helped me, and she found out that i was hungry 😭😭 look at the picture that i included if you wanna see. she gave me A BOX of food and some water 😭 . i don’t think you could get this kind of hospitality elsewhere 🥹 that’s how you know the owner actually cared for people who are staying with her. very thankful for that!! (forgot to include at the beginning, when i arrived there, the owner helped me to carry my luggage all the way to my room. no lift btw. she strong 💀🙏🏻) 2. now let’s talk about the room. basically it’s a 5 star hotel room that is located far from shanghai with cheeeeaper price. amazing!! comfy bed, pretty lights, soft and high quality toothbrush, clean toilet with warm seats (very comfortable!!!), clean shower with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided in big sized bottle. there are steam iron for you to iron your clothes as well (can ask it from the owner, she’ll help you with that.) honestly i have nothing to complain. even the curtains are automatic. just come here and experience it yourself. i wish i could stay a little longer because of the bathtub 😞 and yeah don’t worry about *****. at first i was worried if the room was cheap because it’s ******* but nahh, i had fun!! 3. transportation. they offer transfer service from train station to their hotel for 35 yuan/person. 140 yuan if you don’t want to share with others. if you’re heading back to the train station, the fare will depends on what time you’ll be going from the hotel. in my case, i have to check-out at 7:30AM since my train will depart at 09:50AM. its very early so fare costed me 60 yuan. so yeah if your train departs early then you should take note on this one. on the other hand, the owner will take you to wangxian valley for free (and return as well) which is very convenient. 4. food don’t worry about food because there’s so many food you can get just by walking. i also saw some white tourists walking around and eat there. but a little heads up to muslim brothers/sisters, the only halal restaurant here is located inside the wangxian valley. so do yourselves a little favor, make sure you have enough food before you come here. as for drinks, you can get auntea jenny there by walking 🫶🏻🫶🏻 10/10!! it was really worth it!!

Clean and hygienic, the boss is very enthusiastic, can park, can wash, slippers are generally in the four-star five-star hotel to appear in the proportion of high, the homestay has such hygiene and supplies is very good, the price is so close to the people, it is recommended to stay. Driving to the scenic spot for ten minutes, eating a street at the door.

We were very welcomed by the boss here in this place! The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is delicious. They provide free shuttle to the valley and also serve dinner and lunch for a very good price. We had dinner there when we arrived and the food was very tasty. The boss and her family are very nice and friendly. They also help us get a shared car back to the train station. I highly recommend this place!

We were traveling with our dog, so we had to book a pet-friendly hotel on the way. By chance, we stayed in this B&B. This is a hotel like a paradise. We drove a long mountain road to get in, which was thrilling. When we arrived at the hotel, we were amazed. It was very beautiful! It is backed by mountains and faces the lake, with beautiful scenery. Especially when we woke up early the next morning, the air quality was super good, with insects and birds singing, and returning to nature was great. I hope I can come again in the future if I have the chance👍👍👍

Hello. We are a couple from Holland and are spending our third week of our vacation in China in Huangling cun. We planned to only spend one night in Huangling but we were enjoying ourselves here so much that we extended our stay with an extra night. The B&B is located at the top of the mountain and our room at the B&B was also on the topfloor. The hallways on each floor and the room itself are tastefully decorated with an eye for detail. The room is fully equipped. All is looking tidy and sparkling clean. The door next gives access to a roof terrace with laundry facilities and wiring for hanging clothes to dry. The boss (Mme Zhan) gave us a warm welcome and came down the mountain to pick us up where the taxi driver could not go any further up. Although we booked the Tatami room she suggested us to move into the room next door. That one comes with a balcony. We gladly accepted her advice. After having refreshed ourselves in the room she showed us the footpath up the mountain that leads to the entrance. She told us to contact her via Wechat at the end of the evening so that she could bring us back to the hotel again. The next morning she brought us down the mountain so that we could have breakfast near the bus station. from there we could easily take the bus to another beautiful old village in the neighbourhood, Likeng. The boss dropped us off and wished us a good day. We did not know that while we were eating the went back up to the B&B and came down again to bring us an umbrella to provide shelter from rain or sunshine. We did not request this. We very much appreciated this kind and polite gesture. We had a great time in Huangling village on our first day. Our second day was in Likeng village. The atmosphere in Likeng was very relaxing. It felt really authentic and the people here are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you boss and thank you all fine people in Huangling village and Likeng village. We had the time of our lives in your beautiful villages 😍

Shuttle service from Wangxian Valley Scenic Area entrance to the guesthouse: The owner offers convenient pick-up and drop-off. Service: Great. The breakfast was delicious, and there are many restaurants nearby. It's very close to the scenic area, the property is brand new and spotless, and the room is quite spacious, making it easy to store luggage.

We stayed for 3 days in this lovely hotel, the lady running the place was really nice and helped us organising trips in the Wuyuan area. From the terrace you have a great view of the village and can take great photos. The rooms are spacious and offer everything you need. The lobby/ breakfast area has a lot of charme, since all the furniture is from another era and so the place just feels very original and homey. Even though on 2 of 3 days we were the only guests, we got a full buffet of delicious Chinese food for breakfast, including a good coffee. The organised trips with Mister Yu were such a pleasure, he showed us the best spots in the area and was a really good driver.

We had an incredible stay at Wangxi Xiaozhu B&B during my trip to Wangxian Valley, and it truly exceeded all expectations – definitely deserves a full 5 stars! The room is beautifully designed with a modern minimalist style: light wood flooring, a super comfortable king-size bed with crisp white bedding and a soft beige throw, warm ambient lighting from the headboard, and plenty of space to unwind. Everything felt brand new and spotlessly clean – from the linens to the floors. Amenities like the electric kettle, mini fridge setup, and thoughtful touches (tissue box, power strips, air conditioning) made it feel like a home away from home. One of the highlights was the giant projector – we turned the lights off, curled up on the bed, and watched movies on a massive wall projection. It created the ultimate cozy movie night atmosphere after a day exploring the scenic area. The view from the window showed beautiful mountains, adding to the peaceful vibe. The bathroom was modern and luxurious: sleek frosted glass shower, smart toilet, backlit mirror, and plenty of fresh towels – everything immaculate and high-quality. The location is convenient, just a short drive to Wangxian Valley, and the overall atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone wanting a comfortable, stylish base for their trip . Thank you to the hosts for such a wonderful experience – They also provided complimentary ferry & pickup service for us to the wangxian Valley! Just 5-10 mins away. The boss can also arrange service back to the Shangrao railway station at a better rate than didi... Lastly, my sincere appreciation to the boss who informed me that I had left my pouch and valuables in the room during my last day. I have managed to retrieve it by arranging my courier service to next hotel.. Thank you!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An unforgettable stay in a truly unique room. The space was crazy in the best way, super big, spacious, and incredibly comfy. The bathtub right in the middle of the room was such a bold and luxurious touch, and having a projector in the bedroom made evenings feel like a private cinema. Everything felt open, airy, and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The room also featured a beautiful balcony, which would be perfect to enjoy in warmer weather. Unfortunately, due to the cold temperatures during our stay, we didn’t get the chance to fully enjoy it, but it is definitely a lovely addition to the space. The owner was exceptionally kind and helpful. He offered to carry our luggage up to the top floor, which we really appreciated. He also dropped us off at Wangxian Valley for free and picked us up again when we finished, a gesture that made our visit incredibly smooth and stress free. A few very minor notes, mentioned only for completeness in an otherwise excellent stay: the room is on the 4th floor and accessed by stairs, which may be something to keep in mind for older guests or anyone with limited mobility, although the owner is more than willing to assist. We slightly missed having basic breakfast or tea and coffee utensils. We only had a water heater and paper cups available. We also stayed during a cold wave with temperatures between -2 and 4°C, and while the AC worked, it struggled a bit to fully heat such a large space. Lastly, we only had disposable towels and one face towel, and would have appreciated standard bath towels. Overall, these small details did not take away from the experience. A beautiful, memorable stay with outstanding hospitality, highly recommended for travelers looking for something unique, spacious, and comfortable

We came for a biking holiday. We stayed 4 nights. We left every morning on a different biking route. Lots of roads and villages. We each had a guest room. I was disappointed that I had the smallest room but they thought I wanted to be on the same floor as my friends. They moved me to the 2nd floor and now I had the same HUGE place as my friends. In the sitting room, is an L-shaped couch. It pulls out as a bed. So I guess this room could fit up to 4 people. The shower is huge. There is plenty of space to wash our bikes. The sauna/hot air thing was great for drying our clothes too! Had we been more people, we probably would have rented one of the bigger places and shared instead of getting our own guest rooms. It's fairly quiet. Breakfast was served in a separate traditional building. Normal Chinese breakfast, but asked for the noodles with the fried eggs! The kitchen staff were very accommodating when we asked if we could have breakfast at 7 am. Also, we asked for a late check-out because we wanted to shower after our ride. They let each of us have our rooms till 4pm at no charge. It would be great if the stone tiles could be power washed as it was quite slippery when it rained. I didn't have my driver's license but I needed to go pick up my friend and his broken bike. So I went back to ask the manager if he could drive our car 35 km to pick up my friend. He was happy to drive me! The sign to the guest house was not installed but if you look for the castle-like building, you'll find it. It was tricky getting to the hotel because we arrived late and it was absolutely chucking down with rain. This is a great, gorgeous place if you want peace and quiet. My room had a river view. Great for relaxation. Highly recommend this place.
