Homestays in Jilin, China

The owner was very hospitable, and there were always drivers available at the entrance who were ready to answer any questions or help with travel plans. The aunties at the hot springs were also very warm and helped with towels. The indoor bath was cleaned daily, and overall, everything was quite good. The only issue was that the toilet wasn't clean upon check-in, but the front desk attendant came quickly to address it. Overall, it was a good experience, and I recommend it.

The B&B is located within a resort complex, similar to Aranya. There are plenty of dining options, activities, and small shops. Private cars aren't allowed inside. We added a customer service representative named Lili on WeChat in advance, and communication via WeChat was very convenient. They offered pick-up and drop-off services from the station and the distribution center, and they arranged everything perfectly for us. The North Gate is only a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel. The East Gate is a bit further to walk, but there's a shuttle car available for pick-up and drop-off. The driver, Mr. Zhang, would always chat with us and even helped with our luggage. The place itself is very clean, and tidying was prompt. There was a good variety for breakfast, and after eating, we went straight to Heavenly Lake. The cleaning staff were always friendly and greeted us. When we checked out, we arranged for station drop-off, which was great.

Like this hotel, I will write a good review for free. It is really cost-effective. This time I went to Yanji for a business trip. His facilities are very complete. The rooms are also beautifully decorated. The facilities are very good. The bathroom is dry and wet. Separate, projection, and the price is also favorable. Everyone must live here when you come to Yanji. The main parking is free and the parking space is convenient. Not far from the net red wall Yanda. If you see this comment when you pick a cost-effective hotel, you don’t have to pick it directly. It’s not good to follow up with me below.

The room was clean and spacious, with a huge tatami area. The location is excellent, with restaurants and supermarkets just a few hundred meters away, easily accessible on foot. It's only a few minutes by taxi to the Chi Bei Distribution Center, and also very close to Enduli and Qiushuiya Park. They also offer pick-up and drop-off services to the high-speed rail station. When we left, I scheduled a pick-up for 6:20 AM, and the boss was already waiting before 6 AM. We had a very comfortable stay. Erdaobaihe is a place worth taking your time to experience.

I had a great time in Yánjí since I planned a lot of border excursions. I can speak both Korean and Chinese comfortably to navigate this region, which is also known as the Third Korea. The location of this place was great since it was in the city center across from Yanji University. (I was assigned room 1206.) I'm not sure which photos they're using for advertising, but my room looked far more beat up and outdated. I also killed a lot of small cockroaches that were roaming around the kitchenette area. Again, this was not a big deal for me since they weren't ginormous, but one huge cockroach did appear one day near the bathroom. It's one thing for the room to look somewhat different from the advertised photos, but please at least keep the space much cleaner. (The laundry machine was bonus, but I had to buy laundry soap next door at the convenience store. This should have been provided considering there was an empty soap box on the floor next to the machine.) The reason why I booked this place was to do frequent laundry rather than stay at a hotel... I traveled from NYC, so it wasn't like I was an average Chinese tourist from a domestic region. This was my first visit to China since 1996.05 and I used my 10-year China visa for the first time since I applied back in 2017.08. Note: I checked out the other rooms on the floor and they were much nicer than what I booked. I'm guessing those were listed on WeChat and the less attractive rooms are listed on here, etc. After I checked out by 12:00 noon, I stored my luggage next door at the convenience store for a few hours. They charged CN¥5/per hour… I paid CN¥15 since I knew 3 hours was all I needed before my flight.

Here’This resort hotel was the most satisfying stay of our entire 8-day China trip across Harbin, Changbaishan, Xuexiang, and Yabuli. We stayed in a family residence unit, which allowed all of us to live together comfortably under one household. The resort is extremely clean and well-maintained. Our unit even included a mahjong table and a private hot spring, which made the stay very enjoyable. Although the price is not cheap, it is definitely worth the money. The butler service was excellent — the staff were attentive and always did their best to accommodate our requests. Highly recommended. I’m confident you will have a pleasant and memorable stay here.

Traveling to Changbai Mountain with my family, I didn't want to stay in a traditional hotel and unexpectedly found 'Mountain with a Pool'. I booked two rooms with a 'let's give it a try' attitude, and this niche B&B kept earning my praise with every interaction. First bonus point: After connecting, the owner sent incredibly detailed guides for check-in, dining (we tried all their recommendations and they were absolutely delicious!), and sightseeing, even down to the time for the local market. And it was definitely not a typical tourist trap! Second bonus point: The hotel's location is superb, right near the North Slope's tourist hub, without any complex commercial areas around. It's a detached building nestled among smaller structures. Third bonus point: The design and aesthetics are top-notch! I absolutely loved the comfortable furnishings and the soft decor in sophisticated colors. Every photo turned out amazing! Fourth bonus point: The rooms were not only clean and tidy, but also full of thoughtful details like earplugs, eye masks, makeup remover wipes, soda water, and birch juice. Every detail showed the owner's care. Fifth bonus point: The meals were simple, clean, and nutritious, and the drinks at the bar were never subpar. The latte art on the hot chocolate was beautiful every single time. Sixth bonus point (a big one!): This goes to every member of the B&B staff. They spoke softly to every child, and most remarkably, their service had excellent boundaries. They never intruded on guests but were always responsive to requests. I'll keep it brief, but if I ever get the chance to go to Changbai Mountain again, I will definitely choose this B&B. Looking forward to seeing you all next time! Wishing you continued success!

Overall, we had a great stay despite a small hiccup with the pickup due to hotel staff turnover and miscommunication. The hotel room was amazing and super well designed with great amenities, it was undoubtedly the best accommodation we had during our 2 weeks in Dongbei. Even though we didn’t book breakfast, the boss gave us free breakfast to comepensate for the poor experience we had with the pickup from the high speed rail (I would strongly recommend giving them a call to confirm the pickup rather than communicating through WeChat). The breakfast was super tasty and has lots of different side dishes (not saying this because it’s free lol), would definitely recommend. We were there during NYE and NY, and seems like people in the neighbourhood really liked fireworks. We probably saw fireworks 8 -9 times during our 3 days stay (including one from our host), super lucky! The local restaurant the host recommended was very tasty as well (not touristy so be prepared for a raw experience), food was great and fried eggs is a must try. The only issue with staying in this area was transport if you don’t have a driver for your stay in Changbaishan (which is a well known issue for all hotels in this area). Getting a cab took about an hour… after constant failing, the boss was so nice that she tried to call all her friends to see if they were available to drive us to the restaurant and we got there at the end!!!! 谢谢老板和老板娘的烟花还有小礼物，我们玩得特别开心！

How can you visit Yanji without experiencing a princess photoshoot? Choosing Xueting Songluan Pavilion was a very wise decision. The guesthouse's location is excellent, just a five-minute walk from the Folk Village, which is incredibly convenient. The guesthouse also provides several sets of Hanbok for guests to use for photos. The guesthouse service is also very thoughtful. They helped with luggage, provided fresh fruit daily, offered a choice of three set breakfast menus, and even gave us Häagen-Dazs ice cream. The cleanliness was also very satisfying; they cleaned daily and replenished daily necessities. All in all, I was very pleased with every aspect!

After the Mid-Autumn Festival here, the moon cakes were very sweet, and I saw the fireworks, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. I brought my parents to live for 3 days and the whole family was very satisfied! In the homestay, quiet in the middle of noisy, there is a small yard at the door, and a small vegetable garden planted by the boss himself. It is very warm and clean. My parents can drink tea and sunbathe there every morning. The boss was very patient and helped us plan a slow tour route that was not in a hurry. The location was simply excellent and it was very close to our attractions. The room is quiet, the layout is warm and distinctive, the furniture in the comfortable room is not sharp corners, the hot water is stable for 24 hours, and the water temperature is also suitable for elders. The hygiene is done carefully, and there is no dust in the depths of the wardrobe. My parents said that it is more comfortable than living at home! No matter the facilities, sanitation, environment, and service are impeccable in all aspects, it is simply the best choice for travel!
