Guest Reviews
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Dilara (7/5): Ok for two nights - Perfekte Lage
Gute Zimmergröße im Dorm
Großes Bad in jedem dorm Bett musste selber bezogen werden (bei dem Preis aber ok)
Keine Handtücher
Schrank war innen dreckig und wurde nicht gewischt (da muss was ausgelaufen sein)
Schimmel im Bad am Föhn und an der Türklinke ist echt eklig und könnte entfernt werden.
Bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob die slipper jemals geputzt und desinfiziert werden.
- JACOPO (9/5): -
- Stan (10/5): -
- Luisina (10/5): Muy buena ubicación - Todo
- Luys90 (10/5): -
- Amira (7/5): - The beds were insane — soooooo comfy!!! The soap and shampoo in the rooms was incredible (smells so so good — bit random to add but it was just so nice!)
The town is small so it’s about a 5 minute walk from the bus stop and from every other thing to do in the area :) We really wanted to stay somewhere with a view but unfortunately almost everything around is being built up so it’s all covered by other buildings :(
— I would still highly recommend this place but you only really get a decent-ish view from the top floor
- EMILIA (9/5): - Excelente ubicación . 8
- Isabel (9/5): No mountain views as described in Booking - The staff was great, nice and helpful, they also have a beautiful cat!
Big and confortable room. Bit disappointed with the booking because we booked a room with mountain view and we were given a room with building works in front, they were very nice and quickly offered a room with views but they charged extra fee. I have claimed this difference to booking as I find it unfair because I didn’t get what I booked. For the moment, Booking has’t given me any proper answer and I believe that money is lost so careful if the views are important for you, maybe spend more money in another place to avoid issues.
- Kei (10/5): - The owner is so kind and the hostel and rooms are so nice! Great location, great people and great amenities!
- Sonja (7/5): - Good location, spacious rooms. The staff was OK. It was very poorly isolated and very cold. The bathroom was a bit dirty.
- Dolorès (10/5): Pratique et confortable - Vraiment très moderne, propre, près du centre et du bus station
- Grace (10/5): -
- Diogo (10/5): - It was one of the best experiences in China! The vibe of the hostel is super chill and welcoming, but what really makes it special are the two guys who work there. They go above and beyond to help with everything—whether it’s travel tips, local food recommendations, or just making sure you feel at home.
Their energy is infectious, and you can tell they genuinely care about every guest. They made my stay smooth, fun, and unforgettable. If you’re passing through Xinping, Pomelo Hostel isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s an experience, largely because of these two amazing guys. Can’t recommend it enough!
- Diogo (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Cozy hostel for travellers - Clean rooms, friendly and warm atmosphere. There is a washing machine on the roof. Can meet many fellow travellers and friends by hanging out in the lobby. Leo and Victor were super cool.
- Victor (8/5): Buena relación calidad-precio - Buena ubicación
- ENRICO (6/5): -
- Juan Miguel (9/5): Repetiría. Gran ubicación - Ubicación, personal, limpieza… Aire acondicionado dirigido directamente a la cama. Creo que podría ponerse en otro sitio porque así se tiene frío durmiendo y te resfrías.
Es algo que pasa habitualmente en los alojamientos.
- Valentina (8/5): - Lovely staff, speaks English. Good location - next to ancient town. The rooms are basic but good value for the money. Mosquito net on the balcony door would be great
- Maren (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at Pomelo Hostel. The rooms are spacious with a comfy bed, daily room keeping and fresh, fluffy towel everyday. Free laundry machine on the roof, well equipped common area where it's easy to hang out and meet fellow travellers..some community events like hikes etc organized by hostel staff. Amazing value for money, this hostel has it all. Definitely recommended.
- Melody (10/5): Amazing stay created memories that will never fade - -The group outings
-The entertainment within the hostel
-Games to play
-Movies to watch
-Able to paint an artwork on the wall
-There was even a bench press for the ones who want to exercise
-The lovely people that work there
Great accomodation, you will not regret it. -
- Joao (10/5): Amazing - I loved the location, staff, room. All staff were very friendly. I highly recommend. Nothing, everything was perfect
- Názanin (9/5): Definitely a place I would recommend - Very clean, spacious, comfortable and the view from our room was amazing. Staff was very friendly too. Good to know that the property doesn’t have an elevator.
- Suraj (8/5): Very good - Really good location Squat toilets
- Łukasz (9/5): Superb - Very nice, traveler vibe. Good location. Good price. Very comfortable room. Enough space, solid Aircon with heating option, lockers, comfy beds, very silent during the night. Possibility to make laundry in the hostel with a great view from the terrace.
Little disadvantage - squatting toilet in the bathroom.
- Stuart (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeroen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Harry (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lee (8/5): Good location - Friendly and helpful staff Nothing
- Ricardo (9/5): Good hostel close to the most important Xingping attraction. - It is close to the main Xingping attraction, that is the 20 yuan mountains scenic site. By vlose I mean a nice 15 minutes walking. It is also very close to the ancient city and it’s beautiful streets.
- Gerard (9/5): As good as it gets - They really created an amazing hostel with a friendly environment. Even though I didn't speak Chinese they where able to help me and I was also able to join a activity which was easily the highlight of my trip There was loads of construction going on in the area. Of course something they can not do anything about.
- Jose (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location, close to the bus station. Room big and clean (private one), quiet area. the receptionist helped me to find a transport even if he don´t speak English, I am very grateful for that. Nothing
- Simone (10/5): Exceptional - Peiple very helpgul,room clean and silent.big bathroom insider.beautiful place close to everything They didn't speak english
- Tatjana (10/5): Beautiful space! - Everything was great, the space is very clean, bright and spacious! Loved the room, so comfortable and beautiful ☀️
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Location, clean and spacious rooms! Very comfortable. Friendly staff No electricity sockets that are compatible with “round” chargers
- Francesco (9/5): Superb - Nice hostel. Many games and books. Comfortable and clean rooms. Available staff. They offer a nice list of recommendations, but the map that they give is a bit dated and not too precise. Yet they are very available to give information
- Flatearth (8/5): Very good - Nice staff, good location, the beds are good Could be cleaner and toilet should be fixed in the room.
- Michael (9/5): Chilled and simple (in a good way!) - Very clean, very useful laundry facility (great views!), good central location, kind staff, excellent aircon. Really great, relaxed stay. I found the wifi a bit hit and miss on 3rd floor, and although smoking is not allowed, a lot of smoke was getting into my room somehow on one evening/morning.
- Kai (8/5): Very good -
- Ilya (10/5): Great place! - We took a family room in the hostel, it's same as a regular hotel room.
There is a big beautiful lobby and an international community!
The hostel is new, it is no more than a year old. The design of our room was minimalistic, the wooden bed, high ceilings and large windows, wow! Also a private balcony! The view from our window and balcony is of the mountains. We asked for the highest floor so we could see the authentic rooftops of the houses below. Fabulous view!
- Elisabeth (10/5): Exceptional - A perfect hostel: social common area, great location, clean rooms...
There are numerous activities offered and the shared homemade dinners are amazing. I made friends immediately upon arrival and spent basically my entire first night there singing Taylor Swift songs with the hostel owner :)
100% recommend!
- Sung (10/5): Exceptional - It is the best hostel I have stayed at in China. I want to give it more than 10 points if it is possible. It was super clean throughout. The lady working as manager had a native-speaker level of English proficiency as she came to China after living in Boston, US. She was so nice and tried to help me in every way. Its location is perfect as the bus station is only five minute walk away. Its price is higher than other hostels in the same area. But it is worth the higher price.
- Manuel (9/5): Nice stay at the heart of Xingping town - Nice people running the hotel. They helped me with a broken backpack with a sewing job. Could not be more greatful
The location is perfect and the place is very clean.
- Henrik (10/5): A perfect hostel - This is the best hostel I've stayed in China! It's perfect for internationals - it's really clean, comfy bed, the staff and owner is super friendly and good in english and it's very central.
I Will definitely stay here again.
- Marvin (10/5): one of the best hostels I've ever stayed - Very good hostel!
Nice people, extremly helfpul and friendly staff, good vibes, hostel group activities are offered, rooms and "lobby" are very good too. And I love the interior design with many details from different artists :)
- Lim (9/5): Superb -
- Samuel (10/5): Fantastic accommodation - Fantastically well organised and thoughtfully made hostel. All the comforts of a hotel but also with the social environment of a hostel. Great location. Great optional social events. Very clean and friendly. Highly recommended.
- Federico (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was amazing. The best hostel I’ve stayed in China by far.
- Guillermo (10/5): Great place at the centre of Xingping - Hotel was the at the centre of the old town. The room was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. It was close to some beautiful hikes. Staff was very friendly and recommended us good itineraries, that were not very touristic. The toilet was too small.
- Selina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elian (10/5): Exceptional - The common spaces and the rooms are really nice and confortable.
The host is friendly and very helpful. .
- Selcuk (10/5): Very good and clean hostel - Good Location
Comfortable beds
Nice common area
The Owner was super kind and helpful -
- Ingrid (10/5): Superb - Jackie our host was absolutely wonderful. She was so friendly and enthusiastic. This was our first time in China and she helped us with so many things that we needed help with at the start of a holiday in a new country. She spoke English very well which was great because we don’t know any Chinese and gave us a lot of useful advice . The hostel has a lovely reception area with a welcoming atmosphere full of nice personal touches and we were made to feel at home. The rooms and facilities are excellent and the location is ideal. Thank you Jackie. We now feel refreshed and well rested and much more ready to start our journey. We liked everything
- Khalid (10/5): Exceptional - Leo was a great staff. He will make sure all the guests have a great experience there.
- Fersan85 (10/5): Perfect stay - It was a very nice stay, unfortunately a short one for me cause I spent just one night there.
A very nice place, brandy new, nice common área, a the best, its people. Leo was a friendly and knowledgeable guy, and always happy and helpful.
The place is near the main streets.
And nice homemade wines!
Room was clean anda comfortable.
I loved to be in Pomelo.
See you again guys!! Not be there longer
- Sophia.chung (9/5): Best hostel in town - Jackie, the owner, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and travel. She speaks fluent English so foreigners will have no problem. The hostel is only 3 months old so the property is very new and clean. The photos are accurate to the property. Beds are very cozy.
The hostel hosts activities too so you'll always have something to do. Movie night is a total vibe. The location is a 5min walk from both the bus station and the xinping ancient town. Almost changed my itinerary to try coming back to see Jackie one more time before I left the country. My only trouble was the wifi connectivity. It wasn't strong. Would not recommend if you need wifi to do work. But my electronic devices weren't connecting very well to any wifi in the area. Take it how you will.
