What should I say? Best accommodation so far from my current trip. Let's start from the location, right opposite the ticketing area, super convenient, the hotel itself has a very traditional look, small details with the ancient city vibe but modern facility, complete amenities, so very comfortable. Included local breakfast that so yums, and the people in charge, super accommodating! best ever compared to big cities. I got into an accident on the tour and they were really helpful! I am pretty sure that I will come back again. Super recommended!!

It doesn't look very impressive from the outside, but as the name suggests, the garden is beautiful. The traditional architecture is beautiful, the facilities are well-equipped and comfortable. The view from the room was great and I felt very relaxed. The staff were very kind and the service is very good.
Response from Property: [Stay in Xuanyuan B&B, visit the ancient street waterfall view] Thank you very much for choosing us among thousands of B&Bs. Perhaps this is the beginning of fate. Xuanyuan is a Tujia courtyard suspended in the air. It belongs to one entrance and two courtyards, incorporating Tujia elements, pure log structure, and a very strong sense of design. The room is also made of logs, but with many Tujia elements. The sun shines in and the quilt is covered with golden light. It is very comfortable and cozy. The balcony has a wide view. You can bathe in the sun and read the panoramic view of the ancient city, drink tea, watch the mountains, talk at night, and enjoy the stars. I wish you good luck forever!

Response from Property: [One stay, lifelong friend] Dear friend hello. Thank you very much for your perfect review. Encounter is fate, and liking is the most important part of traveling. Perhaps it's liking a shop, a cat, a corner, a delicacy, and so on, there are too many. Only by traveling can one experience the beauty of all things in the world, different regional cultures, and the beauty of human nature. Stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel a leisurely moment of your own. Our family has prepared everything for everyone, and coming here is our most important friend. All you need to do is prepare your luggage and travel with peace of mind. We will take good care of you who stay here. Looking forward to coming back next time to experience the falling of the Japanese yen in the long river and the sudden enlightenment of the lonely smoke in the desert. Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey and all the best.

The owners (brothers & sisters) are very helpful , pick up us at the train station (free) . He helped us carrying two luggages to the room on the third floor and also do the same for drop off for taxi in next morning to train station. The location is very convenient, a few steps near Furong entrance.

Very nice homestay. The host was amazing and very proactive, providing us with a detailed itinerary and a map of Furong Ancient Town. We don’t speak Chinese, but that wasn’t a problem at all because we used an online translator. The place itself is very charming. You are always welcome to drink green tea, which is made by the host from his garden (and the tea is amazing). Our type of room felt a bit cluttered, so if you have a lot of luggage, that might be an issue. The bed was good, with nice linens and comfortable pillows. Breakfast was also very nice, and everything was fresh. Just keep in mind that the hotel is outside of Furong Ancient Town, but it’s situated just a couple of minutes from the main gate.

Response from Property: One stay, lifelong friend. Dear valued guest, hello. San Sheng was fortunate enough to meet you. Thank you for staying at the Hanging Garden Sentiment Homestay and giving our family such a good evaluation. Meeting is a friend, and we treat friends like family, preparing everything for you and informing you of all local affairs. We just hope that you can get to know each other better in unfamiliar places, so that our family will be satisfied. We also hope that you can love a city because of one store. If you like Xiangxi, remember to recommend it more. Our family has also prepared a comfortable courtyard and unique houses for everyone to enjoy flowers, moon, tea, and alcohol. As long as you are willing, we will always accompany you. Looking forward to the next encounter. Wishing you a pleasant journey and a happy day.

Italian turisti here. Place is beatiful and clean, perfect position to visit Furong Town. Breakfast Express by a nice old lady. The hosts were extremely helpful and nice too. I had some stomach sickness and they helped me getting to the clinic to pick some extra medicine. 11/10 place.
Response from Property: [Stay in Xuanyuan B&B, visit the ancient street waterfall] Hello, dear guests. Thank you very much for your full praise. Seeing your likes and trust, we will continue to work hard to make a warm B&B. Our biggest wish is that you can treat us as friends in a strange place. Come to understand what Xiangxi is and what is mysterious; introduce it to you from the aspects of architecture, life, culture, customs, etc., just hope to promote the beauty and stories of our hometown. All the rooms in our house are designed in Tujia wood style, with floor-to-ceiling windows located in between, which are very comfortable for lighting, viewing, and watching the clouds. We can reach Wangcun Waterfall soon after leaving our house, facing the most beautiful scenery, and look forward to your next trip home. I wish you a pleasant journey!

the owners were really friendly and approachable. provided free car ride to the HSR train station. there are free costumes that ladies can wear to take photos (the female owner can help to take some if you’re a solo traveller and needs some quick snaps) 👍🏻
it’s located right outside the scenic area which is great (as taxi/ didi can’t drive into the scenic area, and the floor is very uneven inside, so it’s quite hard to navigate if you’re carrying luggage)
Response from Property: 【One stay, lifelong friends】 Dear distinguished guest, hello. Follow the wind into the night, and know Xizhou with you. Thank you very much for your five-star praise. Furong Ancient Town is a place with a history of more than 2,000 years. The whole ancient town is not very big, but the architecture is distinctive enough. It is a place where Tujia people live. It was originally named Wangcun and became famous in the world because of the movie. It is suitable for leisure and vacation. There is no noise in the city, but there are natural scenery of the countryside and dim lights under the night. Choosing our home for travel is a kind of love and trust. Our home has a few houses and two yards. When we are free, we can chat and drink tea together and exchange different local cultures with each other. Our home is located at the gate of the core scenic area. It is very convenient no matter how to come or where to go. If you like it, please collect it well. Welcome to come again next time. I wish you a happy journe

Our stay here was good. The girl at reception is very kind and always wants to help, and even gave us a lift to the train station when we left, but you need to ask in advance. The hotel is right next to the scenic area of Furong. Our balcony and room were beautiful- but our mosquito net was broken so the room got very damp. Also there was some mould on the curtain in the bathroom and the chair on the balcony. The breakfast was free and very nice, although the kitchen it is cooked in looks a bit unclean which put me off. There was free snacks but no free water which we have experienced everywhere else in China. It looks beautiful at night. I wish it was cleaner.

Response from Property: [One stay, a lifelong friend] Dear distinguished guest, good evening! It is a great honor to receive you. Thank you for your recognition and sharing your stay experience. We will definitely strengthen the cleaning of hygiene. We will live up to everyone's trust and handle the details of hygiene. Thank you for your reminder. In order to let more family members see and understand our home, this is the most appropriate support for our homestay. Our home is a Tujia aesthetic building. There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. In the small town in the south, there are different beauties in different seasons. Furong Town is a Tujia village. There are stilt houses on cliffs, waterfalls that are rare in the country, and dreamy nights with lights. No matter what form it is, it is worth a walk-and-go experience, because the beauty of life is on the road. Warm reminder: Our home is about a 5-minute walk from the Great Falls Observation Deck, about a 3-minute walk from L

Good location. Hotel locate just small walking distance to entrance to Furong ancient village. More quiet as compare to hotel in ancient village which is more expensive and noisy. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Provided us water melon to eat when he found us resting at room balcony. Breakfast is just typical local Chinese style - - noddle, porridge, Chinese bun, eggs.

We were picked up from the train station free of charge, given a friendly welcome and immediately invited for tea. The hotel is tastefully decorated. The atmosphere is family-like. The owners helped us organize our stay. The owner even speaks English. The room is equipped with everything you need. The hotel is right at the entrance to the old town. Restaurants and shops are in the immediate vicinity. We felt very comfortable and would happily recommend the hotel. A big thank you to the staff.

Great place to stay in Furong, just outside the ancient town. The people working there are amazing, they can communicate in English with the translation app, they helped me with transportation and booking the tour to the red forest.
The hotel is super cute and the room was very cozy.
Highly recommended this place if you are in Furong
Response from Property: [One stay, lifelong friend] Dear guest, hello. Thank you very much for your affirmation and full marks. Simple language, already felt warm in my heart, really like the excitement of "going to a grand banquet and seeing the prosperous beauty of Wangcun". Thank you for remembering this place and sharing your stay experience. Our home is located not far from the entrance of the scenic area, and you can reach the waterfall observation deck shortly after leaving. The surrounding living facilities are complete. If you are coming for the first time, please remember to consult our home in advance, and we will provide you with the most suitable introduction and answer, so that you can have a deeper understanding of the scenic area. This will also save some time and allow you to enjoy the scenery, people, and stories during your travels. We welcome you back home at any time. Wishing you a pleasant journey!

The room we had was quite small internally with a big balcony for tea tasting on the 4th floor or they said 3rd floor. However, the temperature was too cold for that outside. During our stay our heater was turned off at least twice until I contacted the owner. It came back on 1 hour later. I was afraid we might not have heat during the night, but it was fine. We ate breakfast in the open air which was quite chilly.
