Homestays in Ya'an

We had an exceptional stay — truly an 11/10 experience. The environment was serene and beautifully kept, making it easy to relax and feel at peace throughout our stay. The hospitality was outstanding. The hosts were incredibly warm, friendly, and easygoing, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. It’s rare to find a place that feels this welcoming. A special highlight was the food, organic, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared using ingredients grown by the owners themselves. It had such a unique, wholesome taste that you simply can’t find outside. We would absolutely come back just for the meals alone. The location is also very convenient, with two major attractions nearby and just a short walk away to大地指纹, yet the space itself remains quiet and tranquil. Overall, a truly memorable stay. My only regret is not staying longer. Highly recommended!!!

The room was clean and tidy, and the owner was very welcoming. He helped carry our belongings as soon as we got out of the car and personally walked us upstairs, telling us to call him if we needed anything. The evening meal was also delicious, with generous portions. Breakfast included steamed buns, pancakes, and a steamed egg custard for our baby. There were also a variety of cold dishes to go with the porridge, which was really good! The entire room was decorated with a panda theme, and our baby loved it! There was even a small playground in the middle of the hall for the kids to play in! The owner was truly thoughtful!

This is a trip that comes and goes, and it is also a trip of surprise. I originally thought I would come to Ya'an during the upcoming Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, taste Ya'an fish, and take in the scenery. However, this store was so popular that it was no longer possible to book a room, so the family decided to advance the trip temporarily. After arriving, I discovered that this store is popular for a reason. The location is really comfortable, close to the mountains and facing the water. The windows are facing the lake. It is very comfortable when the sky is clear. The food is also delicious, especially the yak beef hot pot and short crispy pork. The former is very fresh and the latter is very fragrant, especially the paste on the crispy pork, which can feel like air bubbles. Another surprise is that after arriving at the store, the store upgraded the room type. The family said that they would bring the children back for a second visit later.

The description in the hotel description doesn't do the place justice. The villa we booked is actually part of a 3 storey building. From the pictures, it appears our booking has only 1 bathtub. In reality, there is a bath tub in a huge wash room, a living area, a tea drinking area in EACH of the 3 rooms in our villa. And there is a further living area, a kitchen, a washing machine and even an outdoor sauna outside the 3 rooms for communal gathering. Tea Master Lee was very patient in bringing us to pick tea leaves each of the 2 days we were there. He taught us how to process yellow tea one day (which requires fermentation) and green tea on the second day. We could bring back the green tea on the spot, but as the yellow tea requires time, he would mail it to us. Tea Master Lee just won a competition when we went and we totally appreciated his expertise as well as his sharing of knowledge. He was very approachable and well versed in his art. One note, we were really in the countryside and transport is not readily available such that we had to walk back one night in the dark to the hotel with cars zooming by us as we had a late dinner in the nearby town. And again, as we were in the countryside, places close early and we almost couldn't find a place for dinner as we ended our day late after hiking Mount Mengding. Distances are pretty great between places and didi is not widely used. The kitchen staff and our housekeeping staff were totally warm and friendly. It might be good to provide washing detergent since washing machines are provided.

The boss and his family are very nice. The room is clean and tidy. The location is very good. It's right next to the panda base and very close to the Grand Canyon. It's a 5-minute walk. The conditions are like ordinary B&Bs, but the price is still affordable. The key is that it's very clean and in the mountains. It’s okay! The proprietress said that they have more than 20 years of experience in cooking Chinese food. The price is affordable and the taste is great! The boss couple were very enthusiastic and took us to the zoo. The small courtyard at the entrance was very beautiful with flowers and plants. I liked it very much. All in all, it was a very pleasant trip. I will stay with them next time.

We chose this guesthouse inside the scenic area so we could get an early start for the wildlife park the next day. It's only a 5-minute walk from the visitor center! To be honest, traveling during a major holiday, my expectations weren't that high. But when we arrived, we were met with a warm welcome from the owner and a clean room. Even though it was raining outside, it felt warm and cozy inside! Plus, during check-in, the owner kindly gave my child a panda doll, which made them very happy. And when I accidentally left my phone at the front desk, the owner promptly brought it to my room – I was truly touched by all these gestures! Regarding the food, since we didn't want the hassle, we asked the owner to arrange dinner directly. The free-range chicken hotpot was excellent; my child had three bowls of soup! For two adults and one child, we couldn't even finish the set meal, which shows how generous the owner is! Breakfast at the guesthouse was decent, with congee, steamed buns, milk, eggs, noodles, and wontons – plenty of choices! All in all, we were quite satisfied with this trip! I've already recommended it to friends and will definitely return if I need accommodation in the area again!

Service: Excellent, butler responded very quickly. Environment: Located in Shangli Ancient Town, very close by, and convenient for dining. Cleanliness: Cleanliness is a major concern. When we checked in, we saw Polaroid camera trash left by the previous guest on the corner of the sofa. We saw this obvious trash as soon as we entered. The carpet was very dirty; it didn't seem to be washed after each guest. Given the frequent rain in Ya'an, the carpet was even dirtier. The hotel towels had stains. Facilities: The cheesecake served in the hot tub was ice-cold and very hard, looking like it had just been taken out of the freezer. It's recommended to prepare this in advance. When we went in October, the hotel was no longer providing access to the swimming pool (in rooms and public areas). I wonder if there are any alternatives for guests arriving during this period.

Nice hotel, friendly owners. However there is nothing you can do up there.

Health: Very clean B&B! This is really important, and the shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom are very fragrant and easy to use. I really like it. Environment: The B&B is a small courtyard with a warm and beautiful setting! The room is a bit small, with four suitcases spread out and there isn't much room to stay, but it's acceptable! The mattress is also very soft and comfortable, and it is very quiet to sleep at night. Falling asleep with the chirping of insects is really not a good experience! Service: Ten stars! ! The landlady is really beautiful and kind. She brought us breakfast and helped us contact the chartered bus driver. We checked out a little late and didn't rush us. Overall, I highly recommend staying here if you want to go to Kangding the next day! Apart from being a little biased, there really aren’t any shortcomings hahaha

In the fields near and far, insects symphony is introduced, and the tea garden outside the window is floating into the fresh air. This environment can cure all insomnia and anxiety. The Hanjiazu house built behind the house in the Qing Dynasty was included in the cultural relics protection unit, but unfortunately it lacks maintenance.
