Very relaxed and cosy with a delicious breakfast and comfortable beds. The host is incredibly kind and helpful, and is able to recommend many activities that can be done in the area as well as other parts of Taiwan. Can’t recommend staying here enough!

Jamie has created a lovely place for travellers to Luye. The place has a welcoming and thoughtful vibe that is probably a reflection of Jamie's personality. The dorm rooms are spacious and well-equpped, the living room and kitchen are also large and comfy places. Breakfast is, as described - delicious. Jamie is a wonderful host with the ability to make you feel immediately at home

A charming hostel with a homey feel and kind hosts. The breakfast was wonderful! It was very convenient to get to and they had bikes we could use to explore the area. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Jamie is the best host who makes an extra effort to create a welcoming environment and gives great recommendations for things to do. Breakfast is amazing. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. 10/10.

Rooms and bathroom are very clean and cosy. Jamie is an amazing and helpful host. She showed us a really nice swimming spot and gave us helpful information about the balloon festival. We stayed here twice during our trip to Taiwan because we liked it so much.

Nothing. Bring your own towel and toothbrush (if that needs to be said). If you’re relying on public transport like me, just note that trains and buses aren’t too frequent

Incredibly homely stay! Jamie and her mum are wonderful, they made sure I spent my time in Luye wisely, chatted about local spots and interesting tidbits, and made me feel so welcome. They called a local train watching spot just to see if they were still open so I could go, and had me eat pineapple when I told them I still hadn’t tried it. 🥹 Breakfast is a delicious home cooked meal, I borrowed a bicycle in the mornings to bike around, living room and kitchen are cosy and quaint. Beds are closer to each other and less private than city hostels which I loved since I was able to meet and chat with fellow travellers, unlike big hostels where everyone keeps to themselves.

I don't know. The bathrooms could be bigger, but the house will not be rebuilt. But the water is warm, hot and the pressure is good.

This guesthouse is a wonderful private home, run by the fantastic Jamie. Everything here is so well-kept, refined, well-thought-out, comfortable, clean, interesting, spacious and quiet. The atmosphere of this place is extraordinary and soothing. I travel a lot around the world and I definitely give the maximum 10 points. I came here on foot and had a leg injury. I had to stay longer. I stayed for 2 weeks and it was hard to say goodbye. I know I will come back here as if it were a friend's house. The bedrooms are large, the beds are comfortable, everything is very clean. There are several spaces for relaxing together - a living room, a dining room in the large kitchen, and an outdoor terrace. In the living room you can watch movies and the Internet on a large screen. The area is good for walking, great views of rice fields and mountains, and trains passing over the bridge. The train station, a 7-eleven store, a small supermarket and several restaurants are 2 km away. There is a cat in the house that is nice and funny. Everything here is well thought out and organized. I recommend the breakfasts, which are a work of art! Great, large selection of bread (Jamie bakes herself on site), eggs and organic vegetables, fruit. There is a place to park your car, motorbike and bicycle. There are many interesting books. There are local cafes on the nearby plateau, I especially recommend a cafe in an old Japanese house, with a small museum. This place is worth visiting, even if you weren't planning on staying in this area!

Very friendly and helpful owner. We could lend their scooter to go to the closest city. The house has a great home feeling which i really enjoyed.

The host and her helpers were really friendly and engaged every individual guest. They provided me with a lot of recommendations and guidance. Beakfast was amazing too.

25 minute walk from Luye station, so best if you have your own transportation, but they can also help you arrange a taxi :)

I loved my stay! The accommodation is SO cozy, walking in felt like coming home. Great place to relax. The team is also so helpful and nice :) They helped me arrange my visit to Luye Hot Airballoon Festival (definitely recommend to go!) and helped with taxis.

The upper beds could benefit from a curtain.

Located at one of the rural parts of the taiwanese east rift valley you can find Jamie's Guesthouse. After being greeted be a few lizards on the outside and a curious cat on the inside, you enter the common room with a warm welcome. A mixture of quiet jazz and japanese citypop is playing while you see a big bookshelf and many small interesting items on every surface in the building. The kitchen is filled with various cooking devices and ingredients. Another hangout area is outside behind the kitchen. The sleeping room itself and the bath are clean.

Couldn't rent a scooter so it was less convenient for me. If you can rent a scooter or car there's no problem.

Jamie's family is very welcoming ☺️

The mattresses are quite thin and uncomfortable ☹️.

Jamie was a very accommodating host! She ensured I had transport from the train station to the guesthouse as I arrived very late. She also helped me secure transport to the Taitung Balloon Festival.
