Need to walk far from the main entrance. The path to the property require a lot of stamina to ascend the steps. Not friendly for elders / big luggages. But is good for me as we had very minimal carrier with us. The bathroom is spacious and useable. It come with very very simple design.

Facing the hill with maximum privacy. Corner unit. The air con is on and ready for us during arrival.

It can be clean beside window area. It has some mold.

The heater in the bed. It is warm during winter season

Only one bathroom shared between a few rooms and no seperate sink or toilet. Rooms are very small and basic and there's not much noise insulation.

The accommodation is basic but it's a good budget option if you want to stay in Juifen. The owner doesn't speak much English but is very nice. The view from the place is great and there's also free coffee.

nice view because on top of the village, free tea and water, good shared shower, comfortable room, feels like vacation at your taiwanese grandparents :)

The bathroom is a little subpar for Taiwan (for a lot of other Asian countries, it would be normal) with toilets in the same room and no separation whatsoever on the floor. You must be autonomous as the family is not speaking english and is rarely visible anyway (but the young woman welcoming you and giving you the keys is nice and try to help with Google translation). There is one bathroom-toilets for 4 rooms. It is a 5 min walk from the end of the old street, so maybe 15 min from the bus station, going up (I wouldn't advise carring a heavy suitcase). To chat before arriving, I had to use a translator.

This is a family house so you won't find the super clean-modern equipments and rooms as in a lot of hostels in Taiwan. There is a system on the matress to heat the bed, which is essential. It was calm, but there was no other guests (all rooms are in the same small corridor apart from the main house). You still have hair-dryer, water dispenser, umbrellas, etc. and some welcoming snacks. It is individual rooms, not dorms.

The home is very old and needs updates. Only bath towels were provided with no face towels. The snacks given were stale. Toilet did not seem clean enough.

There are two entrances which allow you to go out without bypassing the common area.

Lack of a sink outside the bathroom

Love the awesome view of mountain and sky

Wasn't able to get the wifi to work and bathroom was a bit busy, but great location and price made up for this.

Great location, fantastic room and AC

Stayed in August 2023

Nice location with a beautiful view of Jiufen from the bedroom window. Aircon worked great. Was a quick walk outside and down some stairs into old street.

Stayed in June 2023

Shower had warm water but was quite hard to regulate No sound proofing, so could hear all the goings on in all the other rooms

First off, its very basic so might not suit some people but for us it was really nice stay. Small cosy room with comfortable bed close to Jiufen Old Street. Hosts didnt have any English but were friendly and check in was easy even with the language barrier.

The room was ok

Great view and privacy. Great location apart from the crowds but still close enough

Linyuan Village required a deposit to confirm the booking, which I got my Taiwanese friend to help via bank transfer. They might allow full cash payment on the day itself, but didn't confirm this with them. They replied my messages via Booking.com's chat portal at first, but later insisted on messaging through LINE app. A bit of a hassle to download the app and find their handle.

Not the newest place on L2 but the view from this place is good! The room felt cosy and bed is comfortable. Walkable from the touristy part but has a lot of stairs. It was fine for me - I had a backpack, not wheeled luggage. I was the only one during my stay so had the shared toilet to myself. The local elderly couple helping out knows only Chinese so take note. I was able to check in before 10am. Had a stomachache on my last morning there but the uncle was very kind to tell me not to rush myself checking out. The aunty told me about the pharmacy nearby too.

The walls are not soundproof at all so I could easily hear people in their rooms. The place is also kind of difficult to find and quite uphill. So if you have heavy luggage, best to reconsider.

Cute family-run homestay place run by a granny and her son and granddaughter I believe. The room was clean, bed was comfy, and they were very kind.

The toilet just have one. Need to queue up. Either woke up earlier or just waiting 😁

Is a nice place to stay while at Jiufen. Near to the shop lot. Nice host and nice view.

a bit difficult to find and far away from parking lot.

friendly owner, cute room with nice decoration.

Stayed in March 2023

In the end it wasn't a problem but the owners don't speak english at all.

You can't expect 5* hotel in narrow streets of Juifen. Anyway, the place is better than it looks on photos. A heated bed was great (I was here in January).

Stayed in January 2023

Small room and a little mould on the rug

Unfortunately it rained for a solid weekend when we were here, so the room was cold, however the lovely hosts gave us big blankets and extra Tea and Coffee to keep warm. Bed super soft and comfy, clean and tidy

Stayed in December 2022

Very heavy smell of damp in the bedroom. Very dirty common areas-they weren't dusted for long time. The village itself is just a tourist trap.. it's all about crowded night market these days. Is it worth visiting?! I expected a totally different thing.

We were able to check in earlier. The owner was ok with cash payment on arrival and didn't insist on prepayment via bank transfer. We got clear instructions with the pictures how to find the place and there were some orientation signs in the streets.

Room was very humid and did not smell good

Did not like it

Humid, very small room

Linyuan village’s friendliness and enthusiasm have been a pleasant surprise, alleviating initial concerns about the hostel's location at the end of an old street. This unique location has allowed us to explore the area more thoroughly. Additionally, the thoughtful provision of FREE snacks in our room makes our stay feel even more reminiscent of visiting our grandparents' house—a truly welcoming and comforting experience. Note: remember to open the desk drawer to find treasure (full of snacks)
