Nothing, everything was perfect for us!

The hospitality of the host family. They took the initiative to WhatsApp you before arrival and the father of the house treated us to their team favoured eggs, and tea. He also recommended us where to have dinner and kindly offered to fetch all 6 of us there and back for dinner since they were free.

Would be good to bring a hand-carry luggage as there's no lift. The shower head leaks when in use.

Friendly host, bilingual and approachable. Provides free pickup from Shizhao 石棹 bus stop. Heater in the room, good for people who is afraid of cold. Like the comfortable room space, inductive night light, WiFi, Netflix, etc.

Beds aren’t super comfortable, particularly the pillows.

Wonderful staff and so accommodating! Friendly, spoke great English and even dropped us off near the hiking trails so we could do some hiking before it got dark.

Everything was fine!

The hosts were very helpful! Told us about some interesting "tea trails" and drove ahead of us to take us to the trailhead while they were on their way to pick up their daughter from school.

I have no issues with this property it’s nearby a bootiful lookout spot for sunset and close to the bus stations that can get you up to Alishan or also down to Chiayi. The family is lovely and you are definitely getting a deal for the quality of customer service and closeness to the recreational area.

The property was in a great place to be close to the Alishan recreational area. The staff was incredible. Before I checked in, they called me the day before, and made sure that I knew how to get to Alishan and also how to get to the homestay. They also took me into the nearby city and offered a recommendation for dinner, and it was absolutely incredible. I loved this homestay, and I loved the family that I got to meet.

It would be nice if there were more restaurants around

The host was extremely welcoming and helpful

Communication with the host was really good and received the upfront recommendation to rent a car instead of coming by bus — this was a really good advice! The place itself is in a quiet corner, a bit remote from Alishan National forest so it requires some additional 45 minutes drive to the place. But factoring this in, it is a really nice stay with a couple of restaurant and supermarket options in the area. I had a really good night of sleep!

I like the homestay very much in general, the hosts are very kind and supportive during my stay, and even offer me an upgrade to a beautiful mountain view room that is available, lucky me. The location is quite convenient for public transport. They also have very nice tea. Would love to come back next time I come to Alishan.

All good

Nice, clean hotel in the tea region of Alishan. Bus Station Yongxing is right in front of the door. The owners were so nice to drop me off with their car at a few trails in the area. Also I was given a map of the Alishan National Park, so I could prepare my visit there beforehand.

Very clean & the owners are super friendly & helpful. They let us taste various tea & even cut honey pineapple for us. Highly recommended. There are stairs to access the rooms, but easy with porter service.

Loc No nearby store or resto next main bus stop is at Shizao 3-5 mins drive away

Everything. The Guesthouse exceeds my expectation. Super shiny clean Dora and her husband are super nice and accommodating they offer to drop me off and pick me up at Shizao for my trip to Alishan so I can grab food or buy something before going back to the guesthouse. even go beyond dropping my bag off at my next homestay in Anding almost 10km away so I don't have to worry coming back from Fenchihu just to pick up my luggage🥰 super convenient and thankful

We didn’t have our own transport which made it a bit difficult to access amenities.

The hosts Dany and Dora were kind and helpful. The property was easy to find and accessible by bus.

Alishan Tea Homestay is a great option when you want to visit the tea plantations and Alishan National Forest Recreation Area. The owners are friendly and speak English. They gave us some good recommendations for restaurant + what to see in the park. We also enjoyed the tea tasting and bought some tea from their production. Would definitely recommend!

Stayed in March 2023

The room is clean and comfortable, and the area is quiet. The owners are very nice and accommodating, willing to drive us around and give us recommendations for food and activities in the area.

We took public transportation, so we have to rely on the owners who can drop us off /pick us up from the restaurant . There are no supermarket around so you have to buy your own breakfast from outside for the following day.

Quick responses. Very helpful and accommodating . The room is very clean and the bed is comfortable. The owners go out of their way to pick us up and drop us off the trail.

Stayed during 8 degree Celsius, lack of a bed heater

Simple stay, value for money to stay around Alishan Area.

location wise, no shops nearby and no breakfast provided it means you have to purchase food in advance before. Tho hosts are happy to shuttle you to get food and get you back.

hosts are helpful in providing info regarding to bus time, nearby attractions info and shuttle us according to our need. it’s a big plus!

Nothing

Very nice place - everything was great. The scent of tea in the hallway added to the charm and gave the place a nice atmosphere. The location is a little far from Shizhaou where the nearest restaurants are and were you take the bus to Alishan National Park, but there's a bus stop close by so you can easily reach it from Chiayi even if you don't come by car. The owner was very helpful and drove me to Shizhaou whenever I needed and picked me up again. Also upgraded my room so I got a bigger one. The room was spacious and comfortable. Internet worked really well too. I appreciate it when the accomodation provides reusable slippers instead of disposable ones, so that's an extra plus. Water dispenser in the hallway so easy to refill water and get hot water whenever needed. The location is very quiet so you are guaranteed to sleep well. There's even a little hike close by where you can watch the sunrise. Sadly the morning I tried there was too much mist, but you can't control the weather.
