Besides the atmosphere, the staff was excellent. We chatted a lot about the history of the tulou and yunshuiyao. The room was clean and even has bidet toilet.
Great place to stay. Authentic Tulou. The lady who runs the hotel was very friendly and helpfull. She also told us some intersting things about the Tulou and let us taste her homegrown tea. The rooms are basic but nice.
The hotel is within a Tulou 'themepark'/touristtrap for which it is required to pay 90 rmb per person to get in and in order to reach the hotel. The ticket office for foreigners is about 2-3 km away.
This homestay is a great place to experience what living in a tulou looks like. Perhaps it doesn’t have the quietest (thin walls and windows) nor the most luxurious rooms you could find in the picturesque village of Yunshuiyao. That is however perfectly normal for a traditional wooden building that it more than 100 years old! And it is yet very comfortable, even cozy!
Moreover, the owner is remarkably friendly and helpful, the homestay is very clean and well-managed, it is located 10-15 minutes by walking distance from the main sightseeings of Yunshuiyao village, which has nothing to envy to more famous places like the Tianluokeng tulou cluster.
I can definitely recommend staying at this place to people who want to dive into Hakka people’s culture and experience Chinese hospitality!
Well kept tulou with clean and simple rooms. Perfect to experience a night in one. We got a room with a private bathroom on the 3rd floor. Great view and pretty lit up at night. If you’re a light sleeper, be aware that you can hear noise from other rooms and nature outside. It didn’t bother me, but something to consider if you need silence to sleep.
