Youlin Homestay

Đánh giá: Best

Đánh giá: Mrs Lim is a great cook! We paid for the dinner too and she always cooks more than enough with varieties. Mr Lim's hospitality to invite guests to sample his home grown, award winning tea was exceptional. Overall stay was great. Just hope the bath towels are not disposable type as they cannot absorb water readily.

Điểm cộng: Great hosts with perfect breakfast! They have a tea plantation as well, you can buy their products, just ask :)

Điểm cộng: We choose this homestay based on location as we wanted to be close to a particular trailhead. We never expected we would have such an enjoyable evening with the proprietor and his adult children! My first inkling that this family would be special was the prompt responses I got when I asked about getting a ride to the trailhead and how accommodating they were to make everything work. That was followed up by a text the night before our drive up, warning us there had been a landslide blocking part of the road and to be careful when driving up.rnrnThe facilities are older, but serviceable. The room was big and clean. The bathroom was older, but everything worked and it was clean. The common area had a large table with chairs where you could sit and brew tea (all cups, tea leaves, hot water, etc. supplied). We visited A MEI Teahouse in Jiufen earlier, so it was very fun to be able to do all the proper tea brewing steps at Youlin Homestay.rnrnDinner and breakfast were home-cooked meals served in generous amounts and we found them to be delicious!rnAt dinner, we started talking with the minsu owner's daughter and son-in-law. Turns out the owner is an award-winning tea leaf producer. His son-in-law gave us a tour of the facilities and explained the process. Then they started breaking out treats and a tea-tasting session! We had such a wonderful time with them!rnrnAlso, free parking right across the street.

Điểm cộng: The facilities in the hotel are great.The staff was very helpful. There was a covered parking space. The breakfast was great.

Điểm cộng: Great owners! very friendly family that gave me a brief tour of their family tea plantation behind the hotel. the breakfast and dinner was nice. They let me park my bicycle in the garage. good wifi and hot showers (just let the water run for a minute or two before it warms up).
