Our hosts were incredible, and treated us and all the guests like family. Tianyi was the highlight of our 4 week stay in Taiwan. Really close to some amazing hiking paths, including Sakura trail. Shizhou is a 10min walk down the hill and has great public transport connections.

The whole family is wonderful! I felt welcomed at this homestay, and I loved the tea. They invited me to a tea ceremony among the cherry blossoms. They also drove me to places and helped me with the bus schedule. The accommodation was comfortable and right next to a beautiful sunset spot. If I’m ever back in the area, I will definitely stay here again.

The staff spoke very little English, but were patient and knew how to use Google translate.

The staff was so friendly and I really felt welcome there. The grounds were absolutely beautiful with a sunset viewing spot right in the middle of the tea fields.

The host is amazing. She picked us up from the bus stop. Then she provided us with a tour to the cherry blossom trail nearby. The homestay is located in the middle of the tea plantation, its just so pretty and peaceful! Thank you Tan Y Fan, you are a legend!

Nothing at all

Amazing homestay experience with Tianyi! The place was sparkling clean, spacious and we truly enjoyed our stay here. The host and her family was exceptionally welcoming and responded to our queries promptly and patiently. They asked about our itinerary during our stay and recommended us places to go and do. They also offered us freshly brewed hot tea or coffee whenever we are back from exploring Alishan. Would love to come back to stay if we have a chance to and would highly recommend any one who is going to Alishan.

Great home cooked breakfast and tea sessions by the bnb, owners would give us a lift to stops near the bnb as it’s hard to get around by foot

Clean, comfortable, simple. The location is outstandingly beautiful set among the tea rows. The host family is very warm and friendly. We enjoyed tasting their teas. The breakfast was traditional Thai, healthy and delicious.

Generally liked our accommodations. The only downside would probably be the lack of storage space in our room. Bidet also was not working but it’s fine

Cozy homestay with a gorgeous view, wonderfully kind family, and excellent organic Alishan high mountain tea! This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Taiwan. The home itself is surrounded by tea farms which our host family was so kind to let us experience so freely. We got to go tea picking, roasting and they even gave us our own stash to bring home. You must buy their oolong and black teas - they are delicious! Their resident cat is also so cute. Around the home there are a lot of easy but beautiful trails to try. Our hosts were so kind to drive us to and fro the bus stops in Fenqihu and Shizhuo (to go to Alishan) when needed, and even shared dinner recommendations and itinerary suggestions! They also brought us to nearby cherry blossom orchards which was so lovely. The views are also so breathtaking and stunning. You just feel healed and tranquil in this homestay. We left Tianyi with all our expectations surpassed and only with warm memories and the best high mountain tea ever!!

Absolutely lovely hosts who helped drive us to the bus stop and dinner, beautiful tea terraces and sunset viewing platform right outside, adorable cat and delicious breakfasts; we had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend this homestay to visitors who want the warmest Alishan experience in a unique location.

No heater in the room though I understand from the host that rarely did you go to that cold during the days that we were there.

The hospitality of the hosts, the proximity to the tea garden and the free shuttle to and fro the bus stop to Alishan.

The owners were extremely warm and friendly! So accommodating and went out of their way to help us. They helped provided transportation to the nearby bus stop and other nearby locations. They treated us like part of their family and brewed us tea every morning and night. We definitely will come back again.

The bed is very short. I am too tall for it. Soundproof might need some work as well.

Owner was really kind and welcoming. They are also very nice showing how tea was made. We got to visit their tea fields and made tea from scratch in the traditional way.

Not sure what warrants the high review score this place has but we felt quite unwelcome during our stay. Things started badly straight away when checking in after a long journey we were welcomed with the staff chasing us for payment (cash only) and telling us what not to do with no mention of anything helpful. One morning we also didn't really get any breakfast for whatever reason, only a bag of assorted things eggs, sandwiches and one packaged pastry thrown on a table we had to sift through along with all the other guests. We would have booked elsewhere but everywhere was fully booked.

The location is good and the views are stunning.

The fact that we were told we could pay by credit card and then cash was asked for payment. Meant a drive into town when we were tired and extra fees for withdrawing money from the only ATM at 7-11. If we had been forewarned, we could have gone to a bank and had the cash ready to pay. The bed was uncomfortable.

Nice location amongst tea fields and great views! The lady on reception was very friendly. A few parking spaces were available outside the property, but a small walk up the hill had more spaces. Shower and wifi were good.

Their cats kept crying all night.

The owner is very friendly and enjoys chatting with everyone.

The pictures were misrepresentative of the room. I did not look out my window to rows of tea leaves and mist rolling into my window... I'm not sure one can technically call this a homestay- a surprising number of rooms for tourists are in a barracks-like building next to the home(?)

The hosts are the star of the show~ they are willing to scooter or drive you around to desired destinations, hang out together over tea or libations and connect you with the other guests, and go out of their way to accommodate you. The trails and main town area are nearby. There is parking at the property, and an extra lot at the main road. The "pets" are permanent idols to the property and staying on a tea farm delivers some spectacular ambiance and views. A 2 night stay was perfect

Stayed in October 2024

Toilet was always wet. There was a cockroach crawling along the wall in our family room during the second night. No air-con

Friendly conversation with other guests and owner Lovely pet dog and cats

Stayed in June 2024

breakfast porridge could be kept hotter in a warmer. coffee was not refilled when it’s finished. but they seems a bit short handed that morning. wifi was unfortunately down when we were there. more space for luggage in the room would be better. there was also no AC and the room was a bit hot and air stale in the night.

the host was very friendly. shared a lot of interesting things on the area, plants etc when we chatted with him. breakfast was simple and sufficient. toilet was spacious and clean and water flow was strong.
