Marieke Netherlands

The staff really made the place homey. We felt very welcomed and comfortable staying there.

Xinyu Australia

Tina, Alice and Ah Wei run a great house at Karstaway that feels like home. They are friendly, went out of their way to help and gave us treats, like local foods/snacks. We shared most meals together too. The bed is really comfortable, the location quiet and the facilities good. There are also free bikes to borrow so we rode everywhere. The internet speed was the fastest of all places we stayed in China too! Would definitely recommend and go back.

Lorien Australia

Our family of four stayed for 2 nights. That was a pleasant experience! The staff Alice was extremely helpful. She replied to our questions before our arrival, advised us places to go, provided bikes for our sightseeing, and helped arrange our transportation, and even a handmade Christmas gift ... It’s located at a quiet village by Yulong River. (about 2 miles away from the city. )We could bike along the river. The views are breathtaking! The room is clean and the bed is comfy. It’s a good value for its cost. Thanks to Alice and Chichi for your hospitality!
