Wondeful stay experience in this hotel. Spectacular waterfall views from balcony. Booked Yuen Shan Xue but upgraded to Ming Yue Xin. The owner Xiao Lei is a very kind friendly person. Him and his team member are very approachable, professional, and care for their customer. From the moment we arrived at Furongzhen train station, he picked us up and helped us took care of our luggages, brought us to buy entrance ticket untill the arrival at the hotel, upgraded our room to better view, the service is next level excellent. Very prompt and responsive communication. I didn't expect to get such good service in China but he had given me an unforgettable impression and experience. Well done and thank you Xiao Lei and his team member. P.S. the breakfast they offer was very yummy (Chines style).
Nice hotel with nice modern equipment, spacious rooms and a nice spacious bed. Very calm. Sweet family who can arrange everything for you. Close to park and you get free transportation.
TTravelingAshAbsolutely stunning hotel run by the most amazing family. We loved staying here and loved spending time with the kids. The room was very comfortable. The location is also great. We would stay there again happily.
ゲゲストStaying at Forest homestay was the best decision we could have made during our trip to China.
The service was truly 5 star. The staff at the lodge are so kind, helpful and efficient. We got personalised itineraries each day that changed a lot based on the weather, which was quite mixed! I was very impressed by their efficiency and flexibility. Each day we were driven to and from the park gate (for free). Pickup was within a couple of mins of us messaging that we were ready to leave. All of the staff were wonderful, but Guo Pu was a standout from our trip. Not only did he cart us around and respond to any questions via WeChat within minutes, but he made sure we got the most out of our time there - he pulled fruit from fruit trees at the lodge for us to eat, showed us the various animals they keep onsite, and took photos of us at the sky mirror. He was really great at giving instructions for getting the best effects! (Photos attached)
The room was superb - lots of great features like a heated air function in the shower that was helpful for drying off wet clothes after we got caught in a downpour. The room is a rustic style and there’s a few places that could do with a lick of paint and tidying up, but this added more to the rustic charm! The view really was incredible.
The location of the lodge might first seem far from the action of the park, but trust me, this is a blessing in disguise! The park gets incredibly busy, especially around Yuanjiajie. The busyness really can ruin the natural beauty. Being close to the Westgate allows you to access the park from the most uncommon direction which is actually marvellous as it means you are less likely to get caught up in crowds and queues as you are travelling around the park in the opposite direction of the vast majority of the tourists. This really makes a difference and maximising the time that you have in the park. Because of the mixed weather, we ended up travelling most of the top sights in the park again on the single good weather day and this worked really well because of our direction of travel. The Westgate is much quieter and the surrounding area is much more peaceful than the busy area around the east gates. This allows you to really enjoy the peace and beauty of nature when you aren’t exploring the park.
I would highly recommend staying here when you visit Zhangjiajie, and I’d like to thank all of the staff for such a magical and amazing time.
ゲゲストGreat location & very clean. The service offered is spectacular. Frankie and his staff worked extremely hard to make sure my stay was as good as possible. They opened breakfast earlier to accommodate me, they closed later for the same reason. The best service I have received in a hotel. 10/10
