Guest Reviews

• Salvia89 (9/5): - Große und komfortable Unterkunft
• Tatiana Ragulskaia (10/5): -
• EILEEN (9/5): My stay at Tongli Slowlife Homestay was a big highlight in a 7-week China journey. - I was scheduled to be in Suzhou for four days and stayed for 12! Tongli Village and the Slow Life Homestay were the difference that kept me there in this city of canals. Staff were attentive and so helpful in anything I needed! I felt like part of the family. Though the Tongli Village is about 40 minutes from Suzhou city, it was perfect for me: quiet, culturally rich, diverse in hisrtory, food, and so interesting. I experienced local customs, food, and music without the busyness of the big city. I will definitely stay here when I return to China. Adaptability is definitely important when one chooses to stay in older, more culturally rich areas. It's worth the effort!

• Rainelli (10/5): -
• Юлия (10/5): Атмосферно , аутентично и очень душевно . - Если хотите поговорить я в атмосфере Китая , вам сюда. Очень радушный хозяин, отличная атмосфера. Нет такого
• Paloma (7/5): Alojamiento curioso en el barrio histórico de Tongli - La ubicación y la atención del personal La habitación olía un poco a tabaco
• Chang (9/5): 房間在二樓🈶河景，舒適大小適中，有小小角落泡茶區。備品齊全，因爲晚到，小管家在附近接我幫忙載行李，還扛上2️⃣樓。開好暖氣等侯很貼心。 - 地點距古鎮入口不遠處巷弄內，很安靜。
• Eugenia (10/5): -
• Simona Frenda (5/5): Not well maintained building but great staff - The staff is fantastic, he helped us at the arrival and at the departure because no taxis were available for the route Tongli-Shanghai. The location is great and from the room the view of the village is amazing. The room had a tea pot and a tea sample for breakfast. And when needed we could get free bottles of water. The water from the tap and shower has a chemical smell so the bottles of water were essential for brushing the teeth. There is no privacy in the room, especially in the bathroom. The bathroom doesn't have walls but glasses/plastic covers. The room wasn't perfectly cleaned and the facilities were old and not well maintained.
• Pui (7/5): It was good stay. Will definitely come back again - Have a balcony our room overlooking the stream. It was a relaxing location and close to shops so that we can venture out. Could do a bit of upgrade
• JER-MING (10/5): - 房東非常熱情，主動提升為臨河景大房型，在房間內設有躺椅面向河景、桌上有書，可以賞景，可以閱讀，可以冥想，可以放鬆，非常棒的住宿體驗! 與房東約好第二天上午0840時要"送機"，等到0900時，仍未見車子前來接送，於是自行步行前往同里古镇站搭車。
• Li Yuan (10/5): - 虽然是景区里和没有电梯，可是掌柜们都有帮忙搬运行李
• Alikhan (10/5): - Вид на реку, очень дружелюбный персонал, хороший и чистый номер. сразу не разобрался где находится отель, но хозяин встретил и отвез на место. Система вентиляции шумит
• Sara (8/5): -
• Guest (10/5): -
• Phong (10/5): The host is very nice and respond to your request promptly. - Location Entry space is narrow and cigarette smell
• Ling Shan (7/5): -
• Joubi R (10/5): - Hôtel familial très sympathique, dans une rue tranquille. Accueil souriant et professionnel. Nous recommandons cette adresse sans hésiter ! Rien.
• Ayhan (8/5): Ruhige Lage und sauberes Hotel, aber etwas schwer zu finden. - Ruhige Lage, sehr bequeme Betten. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Tee-Ecke mit Teekocher. Das Hotel lässt sich sehr schwer finden, da die angegebene Adresse nichts mit der tatsächlichen Lage zu tun hat. Am Ende mussten wir jemanden auf der Straße bitten, dort anzurufen, damit wir überhaupt abgeholt wurden. Die Ablage für die Handtücher ist an einer ungünstigen Stelle montiert und stört beim Frisieren, da sich kein weiterer Spiegel im Zimmer befindet. Ein Vorhang für die Dusche wäre ebenfalls wünschenswert. Schade das Hotelgäste die in der Altstadt wohnen keinen freien Eintritt in die Altstadt bekommen, beachtet dass ihr Tickets für die Altstadt braucht.
• Nick (8/5): Nice place in Tongli with friendly owner - Nice property and we even got a room for free for our son! Much appreciated:) It was generally good:)
• Maximilian (10/5): -
• Iulian (10/5): Perfetto - Per chi cerca un posto tranquillo, non nella grande città ma con ogni comodità Questo è il posto perfetto! Silenzio in un paesino che descriverei anche fiabesco, nel bel mezzo del verde con fiumi e laghi ovunque, in una zona non accessibile nessuno mezzo di trasporto tranne motorini, biciclette e tricicli elettrici ma con tutti i negozi a disposizione e dei pub perfetti per fare amicizie ed essere trattati come a casa! Non molto comoda se ci si vuole spostare dato che non ci sono mezzi e nemmeno i taxi arrivano la, ma con 10 minuti di camminata si possono prendere pullman,taxi e il mitico Didi!
• sara (9/5): -
• Chi (9/5): Great choice to stay a night at Tong Li! - The host who is a family was really enthusiast with us. They advised how to visit the town, offer free drinks by check-in, late check-out. The room is clean with all necessary stuffs.
• Majeeda (10/5): It was the perfect stay - It was a warm and charming cute place owned by a lovely couple. They were very welcoming, helpful and kind. We got welcome gifts and were invited for tea. The lovely landlady, kind landlord and their cute kids are all very welcoming. We felt at home there. The location was very convenient too. The apartment was very clean with all amenities. What’s the best is the excellent hospitality and great service provided. -

• Stephen (10/5): - 👍🏼
• Atty. (9/5): The host was very helpful. - Homey feel
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional - The host was fabulous and met me at the entrance gate and help me with my luggage! When I checked out, she also helped me back to the gate and help me order a taxi to my next destination N/A
• Hsiang-ning (9/5): Comfortable overnight stay in a relaxing water town - The location right beside the river. Helpful host who communicated well. Pick-up and drop-off by the host at the ticketing office.
• Kathy (9/5): Superb -
• Anuradha (8/5): Beautiful stay in the old town of tongli - Beautiful setting free from the hustle and bustle of city living .. listening to birds chirping first thing in the morning as opposed to horns blaring, everyone within the neighbourhood, including the hosts were so friendly.. it was truly an amazing experience.. It needs a lot of improvement.. paint was peeling off the wall along the stairway.. flooring was broken and sinking in parts..
• Stephanie (10/5): Perfect for two nights in Tongli - Located just outside the main area on one of the central canals the property was close to all attractions, main shopping and restaurants but nice and quiet. We relaxed on our balcony over the canal in the afternoon and strolled to the night lit garden which was around the corner. We were contacted on our arrival day and given a phone number for the Didi driver to call so we were met and guided to the hotel and everything was explained and we were given a map and dining recommendations. Water pressure could have been a bit stronger.
• Antunes (10/5): Great place, with the tourist and local experience - The place was great, as you are in the old town but in a local street, so is not all touristic which made it very nice to me! I was picked up and drop off and helped with my bag and getting a taxi back to the station; which was very nice from the hosts. They also quickly sorted out my ticket you need for the old town and entering the sights. The room is not as the one I saw in the photos here, but was still good, beautiful decorated and with everything you need. The only thing I would say, in the bathroom besides the big lovey mirror was no light for it (just on the shower and outside).
• Bidner (9/5): Superb -
• Tan (10/5): Hospitality service with heart ❤️ - Here is the translation of your text: "I don't have enough words to express my satisfaction and gratitude to the host, her family, and the staffs at the homestay, who always take care of me, help me with everything, introduce me to the best places in Tongli and Suzhou, take me everywhere, and dine together. Everyone is truly kind, making me feel like I'm at home. I also work in hospitality and am quite particular when it comes to choosing accommodations with a peaceful environment, cleanliness, and full amenities. This place met all my expectations, and I have nothing to complain about. I know that everyone here provides service with their heart, making you fall in love with Tongli from the first impression. I hope that anyone planning to visit Suzhou will stay here; you will truly feel how wonderful it is to live here, and the people here are genuinely kind-hearted."
• Sonia (10/5): Good, relaxing - The host is very available The balcony on the river is very nice The tea and the little table It is not mentionned that we need to pay the entrance fee to Tongli and its anointing to find out upon entering
• Christoforos (10/5): Gem of a stay! - It was in great location in the heart of Tongli. Very clean, very comfy and with a very polite host.
• Allie (8/5): Nice stay in Tongli - The hosts were very friendly, helped to bring our luggage across to the hotel - it would have been impossible to roll suitcases across steep bridge and cobblestone street. They also brought us a beautiful fruit platter - really lovely. Very long and confusing check in. A few of us had to stay in the rain outside old area alongside the host, trying to understand why such a wait. We were not aware that we had to buy tickets to enter the area where hotel was located. A couple of us were under 60, and another couple over 60. Tickets are half price for over 60s but could not be purchased at the closest gate, so we had to walk to a different gate to buy tickets. Also we stayed 4 nights but entry tickets are valid for 2 days only. This is not a problem, just would have been good to know when booking what to expect.
• Patricia (10/5): Gorgeous property in quaint pretty Tongli loved it - Beautiful room on the canal, helpful kind host, everything we needed, comfy bed Nothing
• Oliver (8/5): A wonderful stay at the south of Tongli. - Well the best thing was honestly the fact that my shot picked me up with his bike at the T1 station at the north entrance of Tongli. He helped me buying a ticket for the old town and gave me some information. He ofte needs a translator, but he surely understands some questions in English and is able to answer them sometimes on his own. I liked the room and the view on one of the many channels in Tongli and is was mostly quiet after 11 pm. The walls of the room were at some spots not painted and it would be good to place a toilet brush in the bathroom. Otherwise nothing to complain about. The public transport was a bit far away, and Tongli itself is like a labyrinth. So it happened a few times that I went on an odyssey that did cost me a lot of time sometimes.
• Piergiorgio (9/5): Very nice place in a great little town - recommend it - They upgraded us to a river view room. Room good size, overlooking the canal, nicely set out, in a very quiet location, but still very central. Very good experience. The owners were also helpful and very friendly. The only thing was that our room had a shower curtain that did not reach the floor, so water pooled in the bathroom when having a shower.
• Tina (10/5): Perfect spot - The location was just perfect. It felt like living on the Country side. It was just round the corner of every sightseeing atrraction. Really Perfect.
• Wojciech (9/5): Great time! -
• Karsten (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yana (10/5): Exceptional - A very nice hotel in a quiet place but very close to the center of Tongli. Cool location. The room is comfortable, contains all that we need. The host is very hospitable and friendly. When in Tongli, would gladly stay here again.
• Christoph (9/5): Superb - I quite like the area and the view makes it one of the most interesting places I have ever stayed.
• Alsharji (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything at that place. we experienced the real culture of China. The host is incredible, he helped us so much. I would say that this place was my best place during my visit to China. Thank you very much for the hospitality and for showing us the real morals of Chinese people.
• Mauro (9/5): Superb -
• 畅 (10/5): Exceptional - The location of the homestay is very easy to find. I contacted the shopkeeper in advance and sent me a guide. When I arrived at the subway terminal, I picked us up with a tricycle and helped us sell the tickets to the ancient town, which made our trip very smooth. We booked a riverside viewing room. The room has a very good view. You don't have to go out to see the small bridge flowing water.
