Villas in Fujian, China

Stumbled upon a Ctrip gem, this B&B was a delightful surprise during my Wuyishan trip. The scenery here is stunning, easily rivaling the Nine-Bend Stream. The owner is incredibly warm and provides excellent service. They even upgraded our room for free, offered complimentary fruit, tea eggs, and health-boosting tea, and the breakfast spread was generous. Their tea factory produces delicious tea, and they even gifted us some when we left. This B&B offers great value for money, especially for someone as particular about cleanliness as I am – I couldn't find a single flaw, even in the nooks and crannies. Highly recommended!

Meticulously kept property at the northern end of the Wuyishan tourist area. It's a quieter area, which is 10 minutes by car from the tourist area and the Southern entrance of the Wuyishan Scenic Area and 5 minutes from the northern entrance. It's quite serene and away from the crowds. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.

This is a lovely homestay in a newly built mountain town. Mr Jiang and his wife, teacher Wu, welcomed me into their home and made sure that I had a wonderful experience. Their home is beautiful, clean and tidy. It has a large open plan living area with a large dining table, sofas, a table for serving tea and a pool table, all of which you can make use of. They have a lovely garden and views across a small lake and over mountains covered in trees. The fresh mountain air is rejuvenating. They also have a cute little puppy. The villa is just over the mountain from Xiamen in the first town you get to, and just beyond the town there is a traditional rural village and a reservoir that are worth checking out. The town in which the villa is located is very quiet so don't expect to be able to go to any restaurants, but the hosts will help you order takeaway. The hosts speak English, and took me out with them to look at the stars and the night views, and in the morning made me a simple but satisfying breakfast. I hope to go back to see them again!

We arrived quite late and didn't quite catch what the young receptionist was saying. He mentioned upgrading our room, and we ended up on the ground floor of the courtyard area below. At first, we were a bit unhappy because we were expecting a vintage Western-style house vibe and wanted to take photos inside the room. The courtyard-view room itself wasn't great, but the plus side was the little table and chairs outside where we could eat outdoors. It was alright and pretty comfortable. As for areas of improvement, adding a floor mat would be nice, some spots need a bit of renovation, and the ceiling lights could be brighter. The next morning, the front desk receptionist greeted us and asked if we wanted to change rooms. However, we were planning to head to Gulangyu that day, so we weren't extending our stay. We brought up yesterday's issue and our disappointment with the room. The receptionist apologized sincerely, gave us lots of snacks, said she was truly sorry, and took detailed notes of my feedback. My annoyance just melted away like butter. Now for the pros. As someone from the north visiting Xiamen, I personally think this place is worth it. The architecture really has that Western-style villa feel; its history and aesthetic are totally on point and hit the right spot. It’s very representative of Xiamen—there are many similar historic villas on Gulangyu Island, and they are just so gorgeous. It's great for photos, perfect for a group of girlfriends traveling from the north to take pictures all night long. They do offer free cheongsams to wear; a little tip for the owner: getting a few softer-toned cheongsams would be even better, though elegant and gentle styles work too. Luckily, I have strong enough features to pull off the more vibrant colors they had. I'll share some pictures with you all at the end—I regret forgetting to take a video! I hope the facilities can be upgraded and that the owner takes our feedback on board. Personally, I feel this place has huge potential. As long as they take good care of this building, it's a real hidden gem.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! It's right by the sea and super close to the ferry terminal, which is a huge plus since you mostly get around the island on foot. The service is excellent; the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving us tips on island attractions and even reminding us about opening and closing times. They even called us the day before we arrived to coordinate our check-in. The hotel itself is a historic villa, but it's beautifully maintained, clean, and tidy. Breakfast was also really good. They even upgraded our room to a larger one. I didn't get good photos of our upgraded room after we settled in, so I just snapped a pic of the smaller room next door that had just been cleaned.

🏡 Comfortable Stay: The bedding was soft and fluffy, the air conditioning was powerful, and the shower water pressure was excellent—it felt just like home. The best part was the small courtyard; enjoying the sea breeze and tea in the evening was simply wonderful! 🌊 Amazing Location: Just a few minutes' walk to the beach, so you don't have to get up early to watch the sunrise; you can stroll there in flip-flops. Watching for the bioluminescent plankton is also hassle-free; the location recommended by the receptionist was spot-on, and we actually saw it—it was definitely worth the trip! 🍜 Delicious Food: All the restaurants recommended by the receptionist were delicious, and none were disappointing. 👏 Friendly and Excellent Service: The receptionist was incredibly approachable and responded promptly to any requests via WeChat. I'll definitely come back! In short, if you're looking for a comfortable place to stay in Pingtan that's close to the sea and has a friendly atmosphere, this is the place to go!

The hotel is a small western-style building built more than 200 years ago. It is decorated in a retro style and is clean and hygienic. It is located in the center of Gulangyu Island. The surrounding is very quiet and close to the snack street. It is very convenient for shopping and eating, and it is not far from the tourist attractions. The hotel service is thoughtful and meticulous. Fruits were given and the breakfast was also very exquisite. The guy at the front desk gave road signs and locations before check-in, handed over hot tea when checking in, and helped with luggage. It was my birthday the day after check-in, and the hotel prepared longevity noodles for breakfast and gave me a birthday cake, which was a great surprise. Thanks to the two guys at the front desk for their hard work.

This hotel, originally a private villa owned by overseas Chinese, has recently been renovated. The guest rooms are located on floors 1-4, accessible only by stairs. There's a courtyard on the ground floor and a sunroom on the top floor. The rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated, fully equipped with everything you need. The smart voice control adds a nice touch. The breakfast offers a wide variety of options and was very satisfying. The hotel's location is excellent, just an easy five-minute walk from Sanqiutian Pier. The young owner even personally came to the pier to warmly greet us and, after check-in, provided useful tips on local specialties and tourist attractions on the island. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we'll definitely be back.

My stay at this B&B was a really pleasant experience! I booked the 45 sqm Mountain View King Room, and pulling back the curtains revealed a lush green landscape, which instantly put me at ease. The room had a natural wood aesthetic, looking clean and comfortable, with no unpleasant odors. The 2-meter king-size bed was just the right firmness, and I slept soundly both nights. The location felt quite convenient, with parking available and not too far from the scenic spots. During the day, I hiked Tianyou Peak and even stumbled upon a cute little squirrel on the way – a delightful surprise! In the evening, I went for a stroll with a friend along the 'Wandering Path'; the mountain breeze was incredibly refreshing and truly therapeutic. The room came with free Wi-Fi, and the overall environment felt very quiet, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Overall, I think it's perfect for a relaxing getaway in the mountains. It's clean, quiet, and has beautiful scenery – definitely recommended, and I'd love to come back again.
