Yike Boutique Hotel

The environment is beautiful and very photogenic. The room was exceptionally clean. They saw we had a child and proactively upgraded our room. There was even a LEGO table, which our child absolutely loved! The service was also excellent; they helped with pick-up/drop-off and luggage.

The room matched the pictures perfectly, a great size for families of three or four. The owner's shuttle service was prompt and the guesthouse environment was lovely. A special thanks to the owner for retrieving my child's lost smartwatch from the restaurant – they even rode an electric scooter to get it back for us! 🙏 Hongcun itself is quite commercialized now. Activities like making fish lanterns, sugar figures, tie-dyeing, and bamboo carving offer a good experience for kids, but a one-day stay is generally sufficient. The fish lantern performance isn't on the same level as what you'd see in Chengkan, but the quiet morning in Hongcun is truly beautiful.

The hotel is right by the big tree at the village entrance. The uncle there was very attentive and helped me with my luggage multiple times. The environment is nice and quiet, and the bed was quite comfortable. My only suggestion is to add a floor mat outside the shower, or provide better slippers.

Clean and tidy, with warm and welcoming service. It's just over 300 meters from the South Gate of the scenic area, making it very close to the main attractions.

The room was clean and the air conditioning worked great. It's super close to Yuetang, just a two-minute walk. The host was fantastic, very welcoming, and even helped us with our luggage. When we left, my child forgot their watch in the room, and they brought it to us right away. Highly recommend! 👍

This guesthouse is right next to Moon Lake, which was perfect for an early 6 AM visit before the crowds arrived. There are also plenty of food options nearby. It's a bit of a walk from the South Gate, so I recommend calling the owner to help with luggage; dragging a suitcase over the cobblestones otherwise would be a nightmare. The owners were all very welcoming and even upgraded my room.

The room I booked had an amazing view! The owner was also very welcoming and provided excellent service. The guesthouse is super close to Yuetang Pond and the main street, making it really convenient for getting around. Highly recommend it!

Before coming to Hongcun, I didn't have high expectations, thinking it would just be another old village to visit and leave. However, my stay at 'Hongcun Yike Homestay' made me feel that every detail of this trip radiated warmth. Upon arriving at Hongcun bus station, I was unfamiliar with the area and was stressing about how to drag my luggage across the stone-paved paths to the homestay while looking at a map. The moment I called, the owner's enthusiastic voice immediately put me at ease: 'Wait there, I'll be right over to pick you up!' In less than ten minutes, the owner appeared on an electric scooter, swiftly tied my luggage to the vehicle, and cheerfully motioned for me to hop on. We weaved through Hongcun's winding alleys and past bustling crowds of tourists. The homestay was tucked away in a quiet lane near Moon Pond, an excellent location. You could see Moon Pond just around the corner, yet it was peaceful and quiet – truly an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the courtyard, I was captivated by this homestay, a renovated Huizhou-style building. The exquisitely carved porch, wooden corridors, and rustic private courtyard exuded the unique elegance and serenity characteristic of Huizhou homes. Inside the room, it was bright and clean. The antique-style wooden bed paired with a soft mattress offered both classic charm and comfort. The night was exceptionally quiet, and I slept soundly. Early the next morning, I opened the window to a beautiful view of the Huizhou-style horse-head walls in the morning light, distant mountains draped in lush greenery, and the nearby sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers. It truly felt like living inside a traditional Chinese ink wash painting. On the day of my departure, the owner drove me to the bus station as usual, reminding me of other places I hadn't visited in Hongcun along the way. Before saying goodbye, the owner pulled out a packet of chrysanthemum tea from the trunk, handed it to me, and smiled, saying, 'This is our local chrysanthemum tea, take it home and try it.' Holding that packet of tea, my heart felt warm. Staying here truly felt like returning to an old friend's home in Huizhou, thoughtful and considerate in every way. 'Yike Homestay' truly lives up to its name – making one feel 'at ease' (逸) and so content that guests (客) forget to leave. Next time I'm in Hongcun, I'll definitely stay here again.

Hanfu Experience: There's a good selection of Hanfu to choose from. The small pond at the entrance with its mist effect is great for photos. Environment: It's very close to Yuezhao, only a two-minute walk away, so you can enjoy Yuezhao in the morning or evening without any crowds.
