"beds were clean, tidy, large enough, I prefer a softer mattress but not a problem."

"a bit hot in the common space, can use a fan, need a bathroom on the 3rd floor."

"Location is nice Price is cheaper than integers others"

"The hall on the second floor is getting worse. It was much better a few years ago. The fridge doesn't work now. There is no drinking water on the floors anymore. Toilet so smelly and dirty (as usual). It's hight humidity in the room, it definitely needs more ventilation."

"Clean, convenient, good value for money and close to the train station."

"Nothing"

"Good location, clean, and good value for money. All beds have curtains. It's a little weird to walk through a storefront to get to the accommodation & showers, but the staff are clearly used to it and it even gave an extra level of security to the place. Drinking water provided downstairs (warm & hot only, no cups) and fridge upstairs near rooms. The common space was simple but I was glad to have it. It's nothing fancy but for the money this place was fine."

"My bed wasn't uncomfortable as such, but it was definitely missing one of the wooden supports that run under the mattress board so it felt a bit unstable and was very very noisy whenever ai needed to move in the night. I noticed the bed above mine was missing a support, too. A roommate asked for the aircon to be switched on so someone came up with the control... I know she was understood as she Taiwanese but - I don't know if it was user error or a problem with the AC - it funcioned as a weak fan only and did not reduce the temperature at all."

"The shower was hot, gels and shampoo too, WiFi worked, there are places to relax, the room is air conditioned, everything is fine."

"Aucun."

"Hostel is actually managed by the florists, entry is through the flower shop. Decent hostel but lacks social atmosphere. Very close to night market, only 10 mins by foot. There are eateries closeby, including eel noodles. Staff are friendly and helpful. Train station is 20 mins walk away."

"Sockets are not well placed for all beds. Mine was alright, but other beds may be a bit problematic."

Ana - 27/01/2024 15:41:29

"Good location. You'll see it's above a flower shop. Overall good value for money. There's hot/cold water available. If you're in a top bunk they'll place a structure with some curtains. No kitchen. I like more comfortable showers but can't complain. Staff keeps minimum contact at check-in."

"Aucun."

"The staff and owner were very friendly. Thanks to you, I returned home safely. We sincerely thank you all."

"Aucun."

"Great location. Close to lively squares, especially at the weekend where groups sing and hold events. The place itself has a lot of common areas to sit, eat, read, and relax. Staff very friendly and welcoming."

"The common areas could have done with a thorough clean, if I'm honest, but even so, it's not a game changer for me. Good value."

Guest reviews

"到鹿野高台很近 十幾分就到了 民宿主人都很客氣 民宿旁也種了很多植物 還有很特別的雞 環境也弄得很不錯"

"Staff was so helpful and ensuring we got dinner at restaurants. The day of departure we were giving a ride to the train station. The hosts speak very little English but was overcome with Apps. Area was quiet and near visitor centre and the jump off point of the paragliding. Great breakfasts; one at b&b abd one packed at day of departure."

"Clean, quiet and safe homestay. Walking distance to Yuli town. Basic facilities. Hassle free check in process. Good breakfast."

"The view from the window across the valley was nice."

"Great stay! Walking distance to some great duck noodles and a good breakfast spot in the morning. Responsive hosts. Quiet and clean. Would recommend"

"We were originally looking for a place to stay in Chishang, but everything there was fully booked because of a big local event. Luckily, we found this Airbnb nearby — and it turned out to be way beyond our expectations! The area sits along the beautiful Taitung Longitudinal Valley. While Chishang is the most famous town, Gaoliao offers the same stunning scenery but with fewer crowds. Route 193, which connects these small towns, is one of the most beautiful drives in Taiwan. This Airbnb is truly a hidden gem — clean, cozy, and full of a warm, family vibe. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming. We had such a lovely stay. Highly recommend, and thank you again!"

"It had a great location and was very clean. They held our bags before we checked in which was kind of them."

"Very welcoming and friendly staff. The rooms were clean, comfortable and with all amenities. 100% recommend !"

"The location is right in front of the food street and close to the pier."
