    Internet is moderate inside the room. Can be improve.

    View from room is scenic , however the weather is misty when we were there. Room is clean and well maintained. Heater for room and bathroom is a plus as it get very cold a night. There are 3 dogs, one of them actually guide us to shop area 300m down the slope. Breakfast is delicious, vegetarian option is available. I like their milk tea.

    The room was not cheap, but it was definitely worth it!

    I don't usually give reviews online but felt like I had to in this case. This was by far the best hotel experience I have experienced so far. The hotel is located conveniently next to tea and mist trail / eryanping trail. It is only 30 minutes to the highest lookout point for sunset view from the hotel (just follow the road behind the hotel). The staff was very accommodating and friendly and they even make breakfast fresh for you in the morning. The highlight the hotel was by far the views if offered. The hotel is facing the perfect angle for sunrise viewing and if you are lucky you can enjoy your breakfast outside and enjoy the breathtaking views. The dogs also made the stay more personal:) The rooms was also good and clean.

    Comfortable stay, clean, neat, owner explained the facilities and how to walk to Er Yan Ping in a professional way, not over talk-active but just adequately giving welcoming intro. The environment & vibe is great, would be perfect if the weather allows. Dogs are cute. 星星- the black dog accompanied us to Eryanping. What a nice experience. The breakfast is luscious.

    Everything is perfect except too short for our stays there. We definitely would come back again.

    This homestay location is perfect to go Er Yan Ping for hiking or sightseeing. And we love the dogs especially Xing Xing, he is so friendly and protective, he would make sure we follow him back home after the hike. The sunrise view is also perfectly right in front of the homestay. We did not need to wake up early for the sunrise view.

    Nothing.

    The staff were very helpful and friendly (they booked me a table at the local hotpot restaurant both nights) and the dogs they have are lovely. The hotel is very easy to reach by bus as the 7329 stops in Xiding village and then it’s only a 5 minute stroll up a side road. The Eryanping trail is within 30mins walk and they provide a simple map to help you reach it, I went up there for the sunrise and it was beautiful. The room was clean and breakfast in the garden each morning was wonderful, with a breathtaking view of the mountains.

    This was a family trip, we booked three rooms, all of them were spacious. It was quite cold in Alishan, but the hot water supply was very good. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the white Shiba Inu was in heat and had been isolated and taken down the mountain, so we only saw the other two dogs. The staff sister recommended us to go up to see the sunset, but unfortunately, due to the haze, we didn't have a clear view. However, the location of this homestay is quite good, and our room had a view of the sunrise. Overall, we were very satisfied.

    There is no lift in this small property, so best to travel light cuz the stairs are challenging. For those who are terrified of cold, avoid coming in Winter as there are no heating facilities in the rooms, bring an electric blanket if you have one.

    Staffs were extremely polite and helpful, helped carry our heavy luggages up two challenging flights of stairs. Luckily our rooms were on Level 2, not 3. Rooms had fantastic views and breakfast was yummy!

    The steep road.

    We took the big room for four for two of us, therefore it was very enjoyable to have the space. It’s clean and comfortable with very good view. The breakfast was good. The staff was very nice. The recommendation of hot pot for dinner was very good.

    Location wise was very out of the way. Only public transport available were buses which we had difficulty figuring out their schedules for. Few options for meals within walking distance but the bus can bring you to an area with more food choices. It was sad that the weather was so cloudy. We wanted to see sunrise/ sunset but didn’t manage to because of the clouds. Would recommend staying 3-4 days so that there would be higher chances of successfully appreciating sunrise/sunset there.

    Breakfast had a home-cooked heartwarming vibe. It was good! I love dogs so having the homestay’s 2 dogs to wake up to/ come back to just made me love my stay even more. The staff were thoughtful, the season just turned cold and they started using winter blankets which kept us really warm at night. A short bus ride down (about 2 stops) and there’s pretty good food options. There’s also a convenience store near the homestay. Met the dog (not from this homestay) who brings visitors down the little hill to the bus stopツ

    The window glass is not clean so cannot get a clear view. Also, there were lots of insects at night and even flying into the room (it was December but still). I could not sleep too well with those flying bugs.

    Great view of the Mountain View

    You can sense that the property is severely lack of a good management. The room is small without table or shelf to put luggages. The furniture is stuffy and outdated. The bathroom is dirty and moldy. The most disturbing thing is to see the reception, kitchen and dinning area is jammed with stuff, totally disorganized and unpleasant!

    Up on a hill, which is fine if you’re coming with a car. But it would be a struggle if you’re taking the public bus and need to walk up with luggage. The good news is the owner and helper will come to the nearest bus station to pickup your luggage, so the walk up is only 6 to 8 minutes up hill.

    Excellent location to see sunrise and sunset. Clean. Delicious breakfast. Excellent services. Friendly owner.

    Although the room was cleaned, but it’s also clear that the hotel really hasn’t had the chance to do a deep cleaning. For example, the two huge window curtain were speckled with lots and lots of stains. The towels were clean, but all of them had that over-used, over-washed smell. While the location is part of Alishan and the view was excellent, the location is actually quite far (>1 hr bus ride) from the official Alishan park, if you are thinking about relying solely on public transportation (like we did), and wanting to visit the park, then this B&B’s location is not very convenient.

    On the one hand, Location was excellent (extremely close to Eryanping trail) and the view from room 206 was absolutely breathtaking. Furthermore, it was only steps away from the bus stop, and an excellent hotpot restaurant. The staff, especially the owner, was super nice and accommodating.
