Guest Reviews
- BOLSHAKOVA (10/5): - Очень близко ко входу в парк, западные ворота, 5 минут ходьбы. Супер хозяйка Кэрол, составила нам маршрут на гору на каждый день, также маршрут в Гранд Каньон, с полным подробным описанием, потеряться просто не возможно, всё очень грамотно и чётко.
Номер немного уставший, но было чисто и комфортно, очень тихое место, спали крепко.
Спасибо большое за гостеприимство и заботу о нас. Кэрол, мы тебя любим. Береги себя.
- Isra (9/5): Perfect location for the Zhangjiajie national park. - The young lady was just amazing. She planned everything down to the last detail of helping us to get tickets and what to do on each day at the park. Also at the glass bridge and cannon and Tianmen mountain. Nothing
- EWA (10/5): -
- EWA (10/5): -
- Camille (8/5): - Five minute walking distance from the national park. Very friendly staff. Delicious and affordable restaurant food.
- Amira (10/5): - 5-10 minute walk from the west gate (5 mins in the morning when you have a lot of energy, 10 mins when you’re dragging your feet after a long day of exploring🤣)
There isn’t much food option in the area so the inn also has a little dining area where you can purchase breakfast, lunch and dinner (we had dinner — around 42 Yuan per person, meat dish with rice! Really good)
But the highlight is Carol who is an absolute gem. Even before staying she helped us out SO much with getting our entry timings on the tickets (we booked via trip instead of her- wish we’d done it through her would’ve been easier!!) AND she helped us with itineraries so we could get the most out of our visit to the park. Pre-booked a car to pick us up from Zhangjiajie city and to drop us off to Zhangjiajie west railway station. Honestly recommend staying here so much!!!
- Amira (10/5): -
- audrey (10/5): - Homestay avec restaurant fantastique. Carol et sa famille sont tres accueillants. Elle parle anglais et vous fait votre parcours pour le parc. La homestay se trouve à la porte Est bcp moins fréquentée que la porte ouest donc vous serez en sens inverse du flux de touristes et ça c'est top. Rien! Merci
- Magdalena (10/5): Excelente 10/10 - Carol, la dueña, es un 10. El primer día llegamos al mediodía con una excursión contratada, pero, como estaba a dos horas en auto, nos recomendó reprogramarla. Se encargó de llamar por teléfono y yo de reprogramarla para el día siguiente. Fue la mejor decisión. También los realizó un paso a paso de cómo recorrer el parque los 2 días restantes. Espectacular su mapa y señalizaciones. Tienen desayuno y cena. También podes aprovechar para lavar la ropa. Nos organizo un auto para recorrer Furong por la noche (recomiendo). Muy contenta con Carol y su atención!!! Su inglés es espectacular. Comparado al resto de los precios en China, la cena nos resultó cara.
- Facundo (10/5): Un éxito - Si , Carol es una genia
- Tjeu (10/5): - Good location, great staff and a very fair price
- Leon (10/5): - The owner Carol and her family make this place ,unbelievably helpful and friendly
The location, as it's on the west side of the park you are going the opposite direction of most of the other people who enter from the east Bathroom was a bit annoying with the shower being a wet room and water going everywhere.
Very basic rooms ,don't expect any fancy, probably equivalent to a 2 star in Europe but was one of the cheapest places we stayed and the best owner
- Lena (10/5): - We loved our stay at Tongfu Inn. Carol is fluent in English and planned our whole stay in Zhangjiajie for us from ticket booking to providing us with detailed routes for the park for each day which also really helped us avoid any crowds. Big bonus point was the food at the restaurant, every meal we had was great. The room was simple but very cozy. I’d recommend staying at Tongfu Inn to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie.
- Enma (9/5): -
- Mansell (10/5): -
- Rose Anne (10/5): So convenient to the Park and it was a very nice place to stay - The family that owns it were so generous with their time to help plan my stay. Carol was wonderful.
- Hong Khanh (10/5): Die Unterkunft hat einen super englischsprachigen Rundum-Service und ist fast direkt am Westeing des National Forest Par - Das Gasthaus ist nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß vom Westeingang des Zhangjiajie National Forest Park entfernt, was sehr praktisch ist. Die Gastgeberin Carol spricht sehr gut englisch, was in China selten ist. Sie hat mir direkt nach der Reservierung kontaktiert und ausführliche Informationen zum Ticketkauf für das National Forest Park und Tianmen Shan in Zhangjiajie sowie zu den Sicherheitsmassnahmen in Schnellzügen gegeben. Sie war immer sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Sie hat für uns den Transfer (7-Sitzer), Tickets, eine Reiseführerin, die selber im National Forest Park wohnt und genau weiß wo man mit einer Geheinschränkung nicht gehen kann, und Taxi für den ganzen Tag kostenfrei vermittelt. Da meine Mutter mit dem Rollator nicht so viel gehen und Treppen steigen kann, hat Carol einen genauen Plan für den National F. Park gegeben und uns sogar kostenlos bis zur 1. Seilbahn gebracht und abgeholt, so dass wir den Fußweg und den 1. Bus zur Seilbahn ersparten. Vielen lieben Dank für Alles, Carol.
Unter dem Gasthaus gibt es einen hauseigenen Restaurant, welches die Mutter von Carol führt. Hier kann man gut und günstig von 7 Uhr morgens bis 8 Uhr abends essen (Frühstück nur 15 RMB). Nichts
- Zuleide (10/5): Ótima localização, atendimento excepcional e suporte que fez toda a diferença. - Localização excelente, a apenas 5 minutos do parque. A Carol foi muito atenciosa e nos passou um roteiro detalhado, o que facilitou bastante o passeio. Quando nos perdemos dentro do parque, ela prontamente nos ajudou e ainda solicitou um carro de aplicativo para nos buscar. Sempre responde rápido e com muita atenção. O café da manhã e o jantar estavam deliciosos. Super recomendo a pousada!
- Christel (10/5): - The room was spacious, clean , with all the supplies you might need , the location is perfect to visit the Natural Forest and above all that, Carol, the hostess was very nice and helpful.
- Salima (10/5): Хозяйка Керрон, встретила нас на ресепшене. Все нам объяснила на английском, показала номер. Дала схему с объяснениями н - Близко к подножию гор, к западным вратам на горы Аватар, пешком 5 мин Все, соответствует заявленным условиям
- oleg (10/5): - Кэрол, просто молодчина, организовала встречу на вокзале, забронировала билеты в парк, довезла до подъемника, нарисовала маршрут, подарила сувениры на прощание.
- Natalia (10/5): - У отеля очень удачное расположение. Хозяйка отеля Керол очень замечательный, отзывчивый человек. Хорошо говорит по английски. Поможет заказать билеты в Национальный парк и объяснит маршрут. В отеле очень чисто. При отеле есть небольшая столовая, готовят вкусно.
- Jakub (10/5): Great stay - The staff was fantastic. Carol helped us professionally organize our entire stay. She provided advice and made reservations. I highly recommend it. The location is right at the entrance to the park—a less popular entry—so there are no lines or crowds.
- Gill2847 (10/5): Highly recommended! - Everything! Fantastic communication both before arrival and during from Carol. She is amazing and can't do enough to help you. A real family homestay. Great homemade food and comfortable accommodation. Definitely stay here if you want to be first in the park, and be given excelent advice, tickets, service etc. She even organised a driver for us to Yichang, a 5 hour journey!! Fantastic value. Thank you Carol and your lovely family. We won't forget our stay with you. N/a
- Embo1 (10/5): - Comfortable and clean rooms, and it was a peaceful stay. Right next to the West Entrance which was quiet and, so was quick to get into the park. Staff was super friendly and helpful in booking tickets for the parks, as well as showing how to get around them.
- Kumussay (10/5): - Девушка молодец. Встретила, билеты помогла купить в парки и даже в Гуанчжоу. В общем, не лакшери, но очень годно. Кровать самая удобная и комфортная
- Jakaria (9/5): Well located, reasonable price, will come visit and stay again - Reasonable price, great location and owner with family are likes my family… loves it Nil
- Maria (10/5): - Vam estar com a casa. La Carol es molt simpàtica, t’explica molt bé les coses i t’ensenya quins son els millors llocs on anar. Els seus pares i fill són molt agradables i el menjar exquisit.

- Simona (7/5): - A q0 minuti a piedi Dall'ingresso est del parco La proprietaria Carol ci ha aiutato a fare tutti i biglietti ci ha prenotato un minivan e trasporti e ci ha prenotato anche delle attrazioni in chengdu. Carol parla un ottimo inglese e si può contattare su WhatsApp. Camera con materasso e cuscino molto comodi. Stanza riscaldata con il climatizzatore. A colazione c'erano tre scelte una occidentale con Pane burro e marmellata e le altre due orientali con noodles in brodo o ravioli. Da bere succo d'arancia o cioccolata o latte o caffè mentre per la cena cucinano bene Ci sono alcuni piatti non speziati come patate saltate con pollo e mediamente gli occidentali riescono a mangiare bene. Consiglierei questo posto soprattutto per l'aiuto di Carol e la vicinanza al parco Per fare la doccia si allaga tutto il bagno perché la doccia èsopra il Water. Non si può buttare la carta igienica nel water per non intasarlo e non c'è lo spazio per appoggiare la valigia e reception fa sempre molto freddo Durante il mese di marzo
- Philipos (10/5): - Everything literally. The location was the best (3 minute walk from the west gate of the national park). The owner Carol was the most helpful person I’ve met in the country. She organised everything and even gave me step by step instructions and a map on how to navigate the huge park. She went above and beyond and even clarified things via messaging when I was in the park. The food served is exceptional and prices were great (you can’t not overeat, it’s so good). She booked every and any daily transfer I needed. Note : she speaks perfect English which is a bit rare in China.Overall I’d rate my stay there higher than perfect if it was possible. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very cheap for what it had to offer. Nothing I didn’t like.
- Volker (10/5): -
- Gabriele (4/5): - Posizione ottima per l'accesso al parco nazionale, la ragazza in reception gentilissima e disponibile, ci ha anche fornito una mappa con le indicazioni per i percorsi. La struttura offre un servizio trasporto valigie e pasti in loco (comodi essendo la struttura piuttosto lontana dal centro) Purtroppo la camera aveva diverse problematiche, tra la moquette piena di briciole e con una macchia non specificata rossastra, il wc con macchie di urina e i cuscini macchiati non so cosa fosse peggiore. Inoltre la multipresa fornita non funzionava, il phon si surriscaldava e la "doccia" aperta a 20 cm di distanza dal lavandino causava un'inondazione a ogni apertura dell'acqua.q
- Igor Ershov (8/5): Удобное место для изучения парка. - Отличный матрас, спалось на нем комфортно. Номер большой, место достаточно тихое, но вокруг нет никакой инфраструктуры и вечером довольно скучно. Хозяева стараются создать комфортные условия.
- Enzo (10/5): Un séjour incroyable dans un environnement parfait, avec un personnel très attachant et disponible. L’hôtel est parfaite - Environment hyper agréable, proximité immédiate avec le parc national, personnel très attachant et disponible
- Rita (10/5): Zhangjiajie visit - We felt that we visit a friend. Carol and here team arranged us unforgettable vacation. She took care of us from the moment we booked the accommodation, she arranged us the entry tickets, transfers, and transportation to the scenes. The Inn has a great location, it is only a 5 minute walk from the entrance of the park. We highly recommended the Inn, the greatest asset is Carol whom we thank this great time at Zhangjiajie. Everything was perfect!
- Angeles (8/5): - La atención recibida.
- Vincent (10/5): Affordable, cute and in perfect location! - Perfect location to visit the park (just 5 minutes walk). Easy communication with the owner and she is so nice and helpful. Helps you organize your trips to the park and buys you the tickets. Cheap breakfast and tasty dinner is available at the accommodation
- Anjali (9/5): A++ for hospitality - Carol was super sweet. She made us feel welcomed the moment we reached. She was really helpful with providing any extra info for our trip. She even helped us book taxis whenever needed. We went in late December so it was pretty much freezing. Carol always took the extra step to make sure our rooms were nice and warm upon our return. Much appreciated! We only had one issue: the drainage in the bathroom wasn't too well so there would be a pool by the time we finished showering, still manageable though.
- Hueyyi (8/5): Good value stay! - I liked that it was 5 mins away from the west entrance of the park. I could leave and get there once the park was opened to beat the crowd. The manager of accommodation, Carol was extremely nice and helpful. She gave very thorough and clear instructions to navigate xhangjiajie park and tianmen mountain based on the amount of time I had. She also helped arrange for my luggage to be sent to my next hotel which was nearer to where Tianmen mountain cableway was which is where I would have ended my trip. There’s food available at the hotel as well if you need simple breakfast and dinners. Water took a while to heat up, but otherwise everything else worked great
- Nicolò (9/5): -
- Natalia (9/5): - La chica del alojamiento nos indicó unas rutas maravillosas para ir por el parque. Estaban muy bien indicadas y no nos perdimos en ningún momento. El trato fue excelente
- 军 (10/5): -
- Estefania (10/5): Impecable el alojamiento y el trato - La amabilidad de Carol desde el minuto 1, nos ayudó en todo, entradas, traslado de maletas al otro hotel. Organización de rutas... La habitación impecable, grande y muy cerca de una de las entradas del parque , fue todo genial siguiendo sus indicaciones Todo bien
- Cynthia (9/5): Mille merci - La disponibilité de l’hôte et la proximité avec la porte du parc Rien
- Alessandro (10/5): - Carol, manager of the inn, is an absolute star: immensely kind, available and knowledgeable, she helped us make the most of our visit to Zhangjiajie. The rooms are basic but clean and well kept. The inn is family-run, you can eat directly there and share stories with other travelers, accessing the park from a secondary entry that is less touristy and therefore gives you a less crowded itinerary. Highly recommended!
- jessica (10/5): The best stay of our trip! - Here you’re not entering a hotel, you’re entering a lovely and beautiful home and people will welcome you like family members <3
The place is just 5 mins walking from the west gate of the park, which allows you to start the visit from the less crowded side and go the opposite way all the other tourists visit it - you’ll have the park for yourself! Carol, the owner, provided us with maps in English and detailed information to help us navigate and explore the immense national park, and helped us with every questions we had. She arrange everything for us, bought the tickets for both the Zhangjiajie national park and Tianmen mountain, booked transfers to the train station at 5am and really provided us the best experience of our trip in China! Her family is also lovely, her parents will cook amazing food for you (don’t miss the hotpot and the breakfast dumplings, everything is homemade with so much love).
There’s aircon in the room (which is a heater too), we slept very well, the room was spacious, and they provide slippers, toilet amenities like toothbrush + paste, shampoo, etc and everything was clean and in order.
I definitely recommend you to choose this place for your trip, and I hope I’ll be able to come back one day! Everything was just perfect

- Maria Magdalena (8/5): Aer de munte, mancare chinezeasca si prieteni noi - Tongfu Inn! - Camera confortabila si proprietarii, care au fost de nota 10. Fix langa poarta de vest a parcului national. Foarte departe de oras si acces doar cu taxi.
- Chiara Bianchi (10/5): - La proprietaria Carol è stata molto gentile e amichevole. Ci ha organizzato il trasporto tra l'ostello e la stazione ferroviaria, ha prenotato i biglietti per il parco, e ci ha pianificato l'itinerario giornaliero per le visite, fornendoci anche mappe gratuite. Quando abbiamo perso l'ultimo autobus del parco, è venuta a prenderci in macchina. Il padre di Carol ci ha preparato cene e colazioni deliziose. La camera era pulita e igienizzata, e il letto era morbido e comodo. Inoltre, Carol ha persino prenotato i biglietti del treno per il nostro viaggio successivo. Consiglio vivamente questo ostello per la cura e l'ospitalità eccezionali!
- Aurora (1/5): Pessimo. - La nostra esperienza presso la struttura è stata estremamente negativa. La camera presentava la presenza di insetti, tra cui un ragno di grandi dimensioni rinvenuto all’interno di una giacca. Il bagno risultava in condizioni igieniche precarie, con il lavandino e il rubinetto danneggiati e corrosi dalla ruggine. Inoltre, il pavimento adiacente al water era visibilmente sporco. A causa di tali condizioni, siamo stati costretti a cambiare struttura il giorno successivo al nostro arrivo, in quanto la permanenza in tali circostanze era impossibile.
- Unita67 (10/5): Meseszép helyen, hihetetlen segítőkész Carol! - Carol, köszönünk mindent! Életem utazása volt - a többiek nevében is ezt mondhatom -, csodás 4 napot töltöttünk el. Mindenben a segítségünkre volt, taxi, programösszeállítás, térkép, előre megvette nekünk a 4 napos bérletet, egyszerűen nem találok szavakat! A vacsora a családnál ízletes, köszönünk mindent! Mindenkinek csak ajánlani tudom. A nemzeti park bejárata pár perc séta... minden látnivaló elérhető könnyen, szuper minden! Carol nélkül ez nem lett volna így...
- Алия (10/5): Моя благодарность Кэрол и ее семье! - Очень понравилась семья владельцев гостевого дома - это удивительно добрые и отзывчивые люди. Расположение отличное, рядом с западными воротами парка Чжанцзяцзе, всё очень спокойно и удобно для отдыха. Кэрол (хозяйка) полностью расписала план на все 10 дней ( и да 10 дней для данного направления очень много, думаю 5 хватило бы). В номере все очень просто и чисто, в ноябре было холодно, кондиционер охватывал всю комнату, за весь период пребывания дискомфорт холод не вызывал.
Единственный момент, о котором никто не упоминал в комментариях, если вы планируете провести несколько дней и ваша цель - посетить национальный парк, стеклянный мост и пещеру, то это идеальное место. В любом случае, чтобы доехать до моста и пещеры, придётся заказывать трансфер. Вход в парк в 5 минутах, люди все местные, добродушные.
Но если вы хотите совместить город и парк в одной поездке, лучше выбирать проживание у восточных ворот. Оттуда ближе и озеро Баофан (Baofang Lake), и есть свободный доступ на автобус до Чжанцзяцзе от куда и уходит канатка к горе Тянмэнь, там же и спектакль про лисицу (стоит сходить) Отсутствие возможности доехать до Чжанцзяцзе на автобусе, отсутствие в данном месте ресторанов и кафе, т.е вы должны понимать, что это деревня и там нет ничего для туристов, кроме входа в парк. Есть свои плюсы в данном расположении, но они больше про уединение и тишину.
- Remko (10/5): Geweldige locatie en een geweldige host - Prima hotel, fijne bedden, fijne douche en hele rustige locatie. De eigenaresse Carol is een geweldig host en we hebben met haar veel kunnen overleggen over onze reis in het nationale park. Overigens ook complimenten naar haar ouders voor het koken. Geweldig. Als je Zhangjiajie wilt bezoeken op een rustige plek, dan zeker dit boeken. Niks.
- Tania (10/5): Perfect stay near West Gate Entrance - Carol is truly the star of Tongfu Inn. Her service is exceptional — she gives you her full attention, she’s thorough, endlessly kind, and incredibly hardworking. Her parents are just as dedicated, always greeting you with big smiles.
I chose Tongfu Inn based on reviews and a personal recommendation. Because I couldn’t find much information about the layout of the national park, I had to trust what others had written — and I have to say, everything about avoiding the crowds is absolutely true. I couldn’t picture it until I experienced it myself. We were genuinely stunned at how fortunate we were, moving in the opposite direction of the masses. We took the Bailong Elevator twice and both times we were the only ones inside while hundreds of people waited in line.
Carol explains everything so clearly, sending maps and instructions through WhatsApp. I also needed medication during my stay, and she personally drove me to the pharmacy, explained what I needed, and had everything sorted within minutes.
Honestly, don’t hesitate to stay on the West Gate side. The park staff were extremely helpful — not always smiling, but wonderfully direct. Breakfast was delicious as well, and only 15 yuan.
It was an absolute pleasure staying here. The only small inconvenience was the shower setup — it isn’t separated from the toilet or basin, and there’s no squeegee to clear the water. But this is common in many homestays, and we quickly got used to it by wearing the slip-on sandals they provide, which made it easy to avoid stepping into water when using the bathroom.
- le quellec (8/5): Très pratique pour visiter le parc - Carol était aux petits soins, elle nous a aidés à réserver des taxis et nous a tout expliqué sur le parc de Zhangjiajie. Possibilité de prendre petit déjeuner et repas sur place, prix très abordables. Chambres petites mais efficaces !
- Cristiana Angela (10/5): - Tutto perfetto. Lo consigliamo. Nulla
- Brenda (10/5): Familiar y Acogedor - Fue un acierto a ver escogido este lugar para pasar nuestra estancia por el parque forestal zhangjiajie, Carol fue estupenda nos acogió como su familia, nos ayudo en todo lo que nesecitamos, desde España me puse en contacto con ella para comprar las entradas y excursiones, nos busco el transporte para ir y volver a la estación de tren.
Cuando llegamos nos tenía todo los itinerario preparados, estuvo pendiente de nosotros todo el tiempo que estuvimos en su hotel y después, nos dio un detalle al marchar, lo recomendamos mucho, comer fue una maravilla te lo preparan al momento con productos frescos, fue el mejor hotel que estuvimos en China🙏 Todo fue estupendo
- Daniel (8/5): - Camera molto spartana ma ben organizzata. Carol è stata un host fantastica, molto gentile e disponibile. Ci ha spiegato come visitare le varie attrazioni e gli spostamenti per continuare il viaggio. Fuori dalla struttura hanno creato un nel ”angolino di mondo” dove vivere. Riscaldamento solo nelle camere, nel resto della struttura assente. Bagno un po troppo spartano senza il piatto della doccia.
- João (10/5): -
- Aljankyzy (10/5): Чисто, уютно, удобное расположение - Семейный отель, Carol и ее семья очень милые люди. Завтраки готовит Папа, ужин тоже там кушала, было очень вкусно. Carol отправила машину в аэропорт, помогла с покупкой билетов в парк, нарисовала маршруты на 2 дня. От парка 10 мин ходьбы до входа. Очень удобно, не нужно ехать из города каждый день. Город расположен очень далеко (1час езды).
В номере было чисто, кровать огромная.
Спасибо за гостеприимство 🫶🏽
- Maxim (8/5): A wonderful stay at the base of Zhangjiajie - It is a great location with a very friendly and helpful host that speaks English very well. The room is very basic and we found the bed a bit hard. That said it can be framed more as a mountain cottage experience rather than a luxury hotel which I think is far considering the price.
- Andreas (10/5): Sehr schön - Wirklich optimal nach 5 Minuten Fußweg beim Eingang der Avatar Mountain
Großes Lob an die Verantwortliche nachdem wir aufgrund eines familiären Problem abreisen musste half sie uns die gebuchten Karten zu retournieren. Herzlichen Dank dafür. Wir kommen wieder um alles nachzuholen
- Izabela (10/5): - The best place to stay when you're planning to visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park!
The hotel is located just a 5-minute walk from the West Gate of the park, which is the most convenient entrance for starting your exploration in the morning — you'll avoid the crowds.
There's an on-site restaurant serving home-cooked meals — the best we had during our trip to China! You have to try the lettuce with chicken! Breakfast is also delicious, with three options to choose from.
But the real highlight is the owner, Carol. She speaks English fluently and helps with planning your park itinerary — and basically anything else you might need.
It's a lovely, family-run place where you can experience genuine Chinese hospitality and feel truly welcome.
Thank you again, Carol, for a wonderful stay!
- Morrison Max Ayley (10/5): Perfect! - Everything! The absolute sweetest owner, who couldn't possibly be any more helpful. She helped plan our entire stay, spoke amazing English, helped us check the webcams to plan which ways to go etc, I also had an issue so had to go to the doctor and she went there to help me and took me back to the hotel.
The food is also reasonably priced and very very good! It really helps to be able to speak English, as I have some severe allergies, but everything was perfect!
Super close location to the west gate. Nothing to complain about, except the odd bug or two in the room, but nothing to be done about that given the location. The rooms were very clean, air conditioning worked great, cheap & good laundry service. Just a really beautiful family run Inn and I would not stay anywhere else if I were to come back.
- Irina (10/5): Кэролайн все помогла - Все очень мило
- Sergei (10/5): - Если задача - максимально комфортно насладиться парком ( без очередей, пробок, ожиданий) - тогда вам сюда. Плюс хозяйка отеля - Кэрол - великолепный организатоо и помощник в вашем путешествии. Такие люди сейчас редко встречаются. Очень милый человек.
- Javier (10/5): Great place to stay if you are visiting the National Forest Park and Carol was the absolute best. - The views and the hospitality Nothing, everything was perfect
- poh (9/5): It was a pleasant stay. The staff at the inn were friendly and helpful. - I like the tasty and affordable food in the menu, esp the lunch and dinner dishes. We did not have breakfast as we set off early in the morning to go to the national park. The owner is very helpful and drew me routes on a map for what to do each day. We made some changes though because we visited the lowland places like the 10 mile gallery and the golden whip stream when it was misty with poor visibility in the mountains. The rooms do not have filtered water but this is available in the dining hall and we can fill our kettle for use in the room. The owner, Carol helped us to book tickets to the Grand Canyon and cancel them when I was unwell. She also booked our tickets to the National park and helped us hailed a Didi when we have difficulty communicating with the driver. Perhaps bottled water can be provided in the bedroom for better convenience. There is no complimentary tea bags but there are snacks at the reception counter. Hot drink beverages and milk can be ordered in the dining hall.
- Leanna (10/5): - Carol was an excellent host, she went the extra mile to help organise our visit to the national park ensuring we got the most out of all of our days there, amazing food and clean rooms :)
- Adrian (10/5): - Super close to the national park, just some minutes. I have to mention Carol, the owner, she is super nice! She speaks very good English and helped me with everything i asked for. With her I could improve my travel route and she gave me insider information. Thanks for that comfortable stay!! Food took a while for dinner.
- Bastien (10/5): - Property is based near the West Gate of Zhangjiajie Park! Best location ever to avoid the crowds during the morning! (5mins by walk). Carol was super nice and friendly with us. Meals also were so delicious! Thank you very much!
- Manuel (10/5): Incredible - Incredible hotel , really friendly and familiar staff. The location is really convinient. It has all the facilities you can imagine. They help you with the best tour of avatar mountains. Simply a stay i would recommend. Toilet are a bit uncomfortable
- Kamil (9/5): - Extrémně milá a nápomocná obsluha s nejlepší angličtinou v celé Číně. Kočičky.
- Romero (8/5): -
- Virginie (10/5): Parfait. Très bon rapport qualité prix. - Parfait,
Vraiment rien à dire un très bon rapport qualité prix. Un accueil chaleureux et familial, convivial.
Infrastructure parfaite très bien située dans le parc national.
Un grand merci à Carol et sa famille pour son accueil.
- geraldine (10/5): Sejour merveilleux! Hôtel familial avec des gens professionnels et attachants - Nous avons adoré séjourner dans cet hôtel familial.
Il est très bien placé pour visiter le parc et Carole, la gérante, est extraordinaire pour vous concocter des parcours de visite a contre-sens du flux de touristes (dans la mesure du possible bien sûr !) Tous ont été adorables et disponibles a toute heure et les repas étaient également très bons, ce qui est important car étant un peu loin de tout, nous pouvions nous reposer et manger a l'hôtel après nos longues journées de visites.
Merci infiniment, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!! Le seul tout petit bémol serait la fermeté des matelas, mais cela conviendra certainement a certains. Questions de goût !
- Tudor (10/5): Great place and incredible friendly host, i 100% recommend - the staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful everything was great
- KARYNA (10/5): - Замечательное место для отдыха! Очень уютно, есть свое кафе, где можно не только завтракать, но и поесть в любое другое время. Есть все удобства. До западных ворот национального парка Чжанцзяцзе идти 5 минут. Отдельное спасибо Carol, очень помогла в выборе маршрута и навигации по парку, предоставила свои картосхемы и помогла купить билеты. Но учитывайте, что добраться до этого места можно только на такси или каршеринге. На обратный путь были ещё желающие ехать на такси в Тяньмэнь, так что получилось дешевле.
- Alejandro (10/5): - Todo ha ido genial, pero lo mejor es el amabilidad de Carol, que nos ayudó con todo. La ubicación es excelente, ya que la entrada oeste del parque está al lado y es una zona más tranquila. Mis hijos estuvieron como en casa, jugando con el hijo pequeño de Carol y con los gatos.
- vittoria (10/5): Magnifico soggiorno ai piedi del parco - Struttura perfettamente immersa nello stile del parco.
Stanze pulite . Ottima vicinanza al parco: praticamente è attaccato alla biglietteria del parco..
Servizio di ristorazione con i piatti tipici della zona.
Ma soprattutto, vorrei ringraziare Carol e la sua famiglia non solo come ospiti, ma molto di più. Ci hanno prestato assistenza nei servizi, sia prima del nostro giorno che durante (prenotazione biglietti del parco, servizio taxi, supporto medico) . Ci hanno supportato in tanti modi e hanno reso possibile una vacanza bellissima..
Inoltre, Carol ci ha sapientemente consigliato per tutti i tre giorni del soggiorno e così siamo riusciti a fare degli itinerari bellissimi.
Una famiglia accogliente e semplice.
Se dovessi tornare qui, sicuramente verrei da loro come ospite.
Grazie ancora per tutto il supporto e l’affetto che ci avete dimostrato. Le stanze sono in stile spartano, ma non ho nulla da dire perché rispecchiano perfettamente l’atmosfera del posto.
- Rafael (9/5): Lo mejor de todo "super" Carol y la ubicación - Ubicación extraordinaria para visitar el Parque Natural junto a su entrada oeste (a 6-7 minutos caminando). Habitaciones muy sencillas aunque son amplias, limpias y las camas son cómodas. Lo mejor de todo es "super" Carol, te ayuda en todo con una rapidez y eficiencia de 10! y con una sonrisa. Desde la gestión de las entradas a la organización de las rutas por el parque según el número de días y la logística para las visitas más lejanas. ¡Gracias CAROL!. Ofrecen servicio de lavandería a un precio muy razonable. El restaurante ofrecía varias opciones de desayuno y de comidas, sencillas pero variadas. La cocina era muy pequeña, por lo que se complicaba cuando coincidíamos varias mesas en el desayuno y la cena. Había que tenerlo en cuenta si querías empezar la visita a una hora determinada.
- giulia (10/5): - Carol's was a home away from home. It's a place for true travelers: clean and welcoming, the food excellent, perhaps some of the best I've ever had on a trip, but the people here make the difference. They're kind and always ready to lend a hand. Carol organized our excursions beautifully; everything was perfect. She helped us find a piece of luggage we lost on a train; without her, it wouldn't have been possible. What can I say? Everything was exceptional!
- Alice (8/5): - L’emplacement parfait pour entrer dans le parc national
La disponibilité et la gentillesse du personnel qui est très arrangeant
- Ocea (9/5): - Lovely family/hosts. Very helpful, especially with ticket reservations and planning our trips through the park. There are a lot of tasty options for dinner too! The beds were a little bit hard, but not uncomfortable. The toilet is located on the shower floor and so the bathroom floor is quickly wet and slippery (but I think this is common for buildings in the area)
