Horse Pen was a useful place to stay in Shaxi as the staff all speak English. They helped us with hike recommendations and onward transportation. The stay was incredibly cheap (there was no problem in extending an extra night) and the breakfast was really good for the price!

Joanne United Kingdom

Friendly comfortable attractive hostel with lovely courtyard. Great food. Beautiful location.

Jill United Kingdom

As authentic as it gets, if you like original and not fake decor you will find it at this hostel, because of that winter temperature may be cool in the rooms but electric blankets make the magic. The Village/town is underway redevelopment so experience old China before it changes like rest of the country, Great host, The old authentic setting and friendly stuff, perfectly central location and quiet evening in the main square that is out the main entrance

Tomasza Canada

One of a kind, unique experience you don't find anywhere else, big room, friendly staff and perfect location, get there fast as it may not last too long considering hot the town is changing

Tomasza Canada

Very nice location and staff ! We recommend you to do the family diner at night, it is very good ! And the breakfast also :)

Natasha France

Great little hostel in charming Shaxi. The owner is very friendly and they have a lovely dog Luoxi. Great location near to the river and next to some nice little restaurants and a small bar.

Stephen United Kingdom

It was an usual stay because once you enter the guesthouse, you forget what happens in the outside world. It’s this warm and cozy atmosphere that surrounds you, whereby you feel like entering a peaceful community. The location is great, directly next to the old temple. Also, a book with three potential trips is provided which is very convenient for solo bagpackers like me. Just follow the book, no worries. The host is wonderful and speaks English perfectly. I booked a room for myself on the first floor which I can recommend since the place is a bit clairaudient. Perfect place for recreation!

Pascal Switzerland

Location superb, located just next to the old stage and the back door leads you directly to the river where you can find the famous bridge.

Jove Singapore

Accomodation was perfect. Loved the the look of place, the room and common spaces. So charming and very clean. The staff speak very good English and were helpful in giving us directions to the accomodation and providing us with information about things to do and a place to eat. They have helpful guidebooks prepared by themselves and other travellers about things to do in Shaxi so we ended up extending our stay as others in the reviews.
