風景跟地點都好,環境安靜但隔音差,隔壁盥洗沖馬桶都聽得到。房間內不能吃東西、床偏硬是美中不足。
安靜
枕頭較軟
風景是真的很美,空氣也很舒服,晚上睡覺怕我們冷,還有準備電熱毯,屋主的細心看的見
沿途路上山勢曲折,建議可再作明顯一點的告示牌
可以自由煮食

De omgeving is schitterend. Vlakbij veel wandelpaden waar je zo vanaf de kamer heen kunt lopen. Het was schoon. De douche is goed en tot 22 uur is er warm water. Er is shampoo en douchegel.
Het matras is erg hard. Je mag niet eten en drinken op de kamer, daarvoor moet je naar het grote terras voor de homestay. Het is erg basic. Het staat in de advertentie, maar er zijn zelfs geen handdoeken.
房間整潔
房間隔音不好
La vue est magnifique, l'emplacement parfait pour faire les sentiers environnants (Mist trail, Sunset trail et Tea trail). Possible d'acheter le thé de la plantation sur place.
Le lit très dur, et mauvaise insonorisation.
Les quelques trek variés qu’il y avait assez proche de la maison et la proximité d’un bon restaurant ainsi que les sandwich croque monsieur du propriétaire.
La difficulté à trouver l’emplacement en voiture heureusement que notre taxi a été persévérant une indication plus claire avec un plan serait un plus. Je n’ai pas aimé aussi l’accueil on en a débuté par toutes les interdictions et heureusement qu’il y avait un traducteur sur appli. Mais c’est surtout le bruit ambiant et l’insonorisation totalement inexistante puisque j’entendais les interrupteurs de mes voisins enfin le lit comme du bois et la serviette de toilette grande comme une serviette de table ne m’a pas laissé un grand souvenir !!
風景非常滿意
房間沒有椅子
中規中矩的山上住宿 床跟枕頭都很好睡 熱水很充足 房間都很乾淨 景色也不錯 窗戶不是小窗算大的 用餐環境也不錯有露營的感覺 需要的餐具都有提供很感謝
wifi不知道是不是因為我們住在最邊邊的房間 基本上無法使用 除此之外沒有其他缺點 很感謝這幾天的照顧 謝謝
Free parking on the property Clean room with heater bed
Beds were so hard, felt like there was barely any mattress. 1 pillow per person, but the pillows were very flat as well. Everyone ended up with back and neck aches Rooms are not sound-proof, can hear people talking in the next room .
離琉璃光位置近。
床太硬,半夜睡不著。
茶園景色很漂亮
無
有電熱毯,熱水夠熱水壓夠強
床上有電熱毯,打開窗戶即可看到一片山景 住宿地點很棒,附近有很多步道,即使不去阿里山森林遊樂區,在附近走走也很棒。
It has a very beautiful scenery especially when you woke up in the morning and having a coffee in their pavilion area.
被子很厚很舒服,還有電熱毯,老闆說有飲水機可以喝到爆🤣

在觀光區,茂馨CP值不錯,但是,隔音真的太太太差了。我已經是很能忍耐聲音的人,整層樓哪個房間講話都聽得一清二楚,你得祈禱和你一同住宿的人素質都很好,然後沒有人半夜起床趕去阿里山~ 另外,別的房間開廁所的燈時(同時會啟動抽風機),我會以為自己廁所的抽風機啟動了,而且那個抽風機也太大聲了(很像是開了舊型冷氣)。 除此之外,沒甚麼好挑剔。
房間、浴室、床單都很乾淨, 可以自備食材,民宿有鍋具, 走路就可以到達觀賞琉璃光的位置,只是要看運氣喔!
要開車下山才有店家
This is a simple, yet very sweet home-stay! If you like to stay away from the mass tourism of Alishan, this place is the best! Yes, the facilities are simple, and the it requires more planning and in terms of how to get to and from. But The location and view from the house are breathtaking, and there is peace you can’t find anywhere else! The family is charming and very helpful, and will help you get to Alishan recreation forest if you need. Communication was smooth. I highly recommend!
one must plan in a advance as there is no food (but snacks) within 30 min walking distance. You better bring with you and cook at the house, great kitchen!
風景很棒
房間有霉味
מיקום מצוין בתחילת מסלול הליכה יפיפה. זרם מים חזק במקלחת.
לא היו מצעים, תחושה חדר לא נקי, שמיכה אחת לזוג לא מספיק, אין ארוחת בוקר (חבל) בקבלה לא ידעו לתת לנו מידע על מסלולי הליכה.
The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Beatiful views and a relaxing atmosphere with hikes nearby and we took the bus into Alishan recreation area from Shizhao. One of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen just a five minute walk down the road. We used the available kitchen to prepare dinner both nights
The beds were a little hard, but they were not a problem for us to sleep.
Great location if you’re looking for a quiet mountain retreat. Super nice stuff. The facilities and the room are simple and a but outdated but enough for a two night stay for us. The owner kindly drove us a couple of times down and up to and from the town bus station as the walk up is picturesque but one needs 45min. The best part of the stay was how close it was to all of the hiking trails.
Outdated look of the room.
Simple but nice place to stay at right next to the Tea Trail. It's about a 30 minute walk to town which I didn't find too bad, and the hosts were helpful with pick-up and drop-off against a small fee. They don't speak any English but communication through translation was still really easy.
It's a very simple room, and the bed is wayyy too hard. Bonus points for the heated blanket, though!
Location
Extremely Hard matras. Old kitchen. No clean bed sheets. Sound isolation of walls is not existing. I have now so much neck and back pain
beautiful surrounding, so clean. good staffs, and also very convinient place to stay. highly recommended❤️🥳🎉 sea of clouds, good staycation property! hope to be back here soon. thankyou alishan Mao Hsin.
It was my second time staying here. We got a spacious room and a clean room. I would recommend this place to people traveling by car as it is quite high in the hills.
-
A great place for hiking, as there is a hike just outside of the place. You stay in a (pretty rundown and inactive) tea farm and there was a tea plantation just outside of the room.
The room is very basic. No chair even to sit on, no light lamp or shelf near the bed. The matress is VERY VERY HARD. Like sleeping on a rock! We had backaches the next day. It wasn't very clean. Wet bathroom (no shower cabin - after the shower, the whole bathroom is wet). They have a sign that urges you to give 5 stars on Google, with a bribe of free teabags. This is a lousy way. (look at the photo I attach) The woman we met could speak no English and she gave us the key, took the money and was gone. There was no-one around the whole time.
The view is nice, i did enjoy my 2 nights stayed. The lady owner is a very kind and nice person. The room also provides hot water and water dispensers.
The location is perfect, up on the hill between all the beautiful trails and with the most amazing view! The room was super clean and comfortable. The hosts were very kind and picked me up from the bus station. They also upgraded my room to 4-people room instead of the single room I booked. As a solo female traveler with no car, I was first worried about the location, thinking it will be difficult to arrive and to get food, but if you already planning to travel in Shizhao trails, you are going to get there anyhow, and then get to stay in the most beautiful spot that also allows you to watch the sunset with no need to go down the hill while it’s get dark. About the food- the place offers a big outdoor kitchen where plenty of families can cook, and they also sell toasts and other snacks all day. Nearby on the hill there is also a restaurant. They both have vegetarian options. So I just stayed a whole day between the trails with no going back down to the area of the bus station. I really loved this place
Beautiful view from high mountain, comfortable sleep with heating mattress, friendly staff, yummy breakfast, and cheap for a wonderful trip specially, not very far from Alishan National Forest Recreation Area
Not sure
They were very helpful in directing us to the BnB when we got turned around on the hill and very accommodating with our requests.
We traveled with a small baby and the room was so cold when we arrived we had to use the blow dryer to warm her feet up. That's not the fault of the BnB and I'm sure if I'd asked for a heater they would've helped. Also, not being pork eaters or fish eaters, the selection on thr menu they have may be a bit limited so make sure you contact them early to let them know your dietary requirements.
An absolutely beautiful stay amongst tea fields and the mountains. A little out of the way but it's worth it for the quiet and the views. The beds were super comfortable.
Location is amazing and the owner of the place is super-friendly and supportive!
There was no heater in the room which made our staying in January quite uncomfortable. Even though self-heated blanket was provided, I would still opt for the heater if it was available. Also we really lacked towels (thanks for warning in advance that they are not provided but still we would be happy to get at least two of them rather than buying some before coming)
The views from this place are amazing and they provided a great location for dining.
The drive up to the place can be difficult if you're not use to very tiny windy roads.
Very good location with immediate access to viewpoints, sunset spots, and trail entrances. The room was clean, and there was a supply of hot water for drinking.
Not very good value for money for a solo traveler. I stayed in a room for four due to lack of availability. Might be more affordable for groups. The sound from the neighboring room was very audible.
The view from the home stay is just insane, like sleeping above the clouds. Getting up early for the sunrise is 100% worth it. Owner was very kind and even though couldn't speak English his use of Google Translate meant there were no communication issues.
No towels so you may want to bring your own. Although really not a big issue.
Everything was perfect except the lack of towels. It is a very strange concept of bathroom without towels.
The owner is very helpful and hospitable The area is truly beautiful with a view of the mountain range You can get fresh tea from the owner Small parking lot provided
I do not think I can complain about anything
The owner was very friendly and sweet. The view is incredible from the property!
The place is surrounded by tea fields. It has a nice terrace. The owner gave us tea bags and there are tea sets to use in the kitchen which was nice experience. A lot of parking lots and close to the tea and mist trails.
There were no towels (that was mentioned in the info but still it would be great if they were provided).
The high location amongst the tea plantations with great views left and right. The hot water was plentiful and of good pressure.
This is a tea farm and they should stick to growing tea as the accommodation they provide is substandard if not impossible to sleep at. The rooms are very small and cramped, the beds as hard as table tops and the funny, padded linen old and smelly. I guess it's not washed after every guest. In addition they don't provide towels which indicates problems with laundering it all. We felt quite disgusted there and regretted the booking but had no choice but to stay there overnight arriving quite late. They also entice guests to leave good reviews (5 star) by offering a few free bags of tea.
Great location overlooking tea plantations. Ideal spot to see beautiful sunset. The room is simple yet sufficient for what we need. The kitchen is pretty old but well-equipped for making or cooking simple meals. The landlady is kind and enthusiastic.
Price point is a bit steep considering basic facilities.
Amazing! The location is beautiful, the host is the friendliest! The outdoor kitchen, patio, and rooms are spacious. We absolutely loved it!
The water pressure of the toilet wasn’t ideal at times 🥲
Owners were friendly and helpful; big room, i was given a room with the view of the tea plantation, free drinking water (the dispenser outside the room smells of insect though, so i used the other ones scattered in the property); cooking area can be improved/cleaned. For improvement: must be good to include free use of towels
Great Location in the mountains surrounded by tea farms. Close to multiple trails. Great sunset. Friendly and helpfull staff. They pic you up at the bus stop for a small fee. They provide water, public kitchen and sell instant noodles.
Room heats up in the morning.
Gorgeous scenery, proximity to hikes, hospitality of staff
Nothing
Comfortable stay with a very big bed
The hotel is located at the top of a hill. This is great for sunset views but if you don’t have a car, be prepared for a steep walk to/from the bus stop and to get food. It took us about 30mins to walk up or down the hill. They do have parking though so would be really easy if you have your own vehicle.
Location
For rating 8 and price (2 times expensive than in the city) we expected high quality. We took decision to stay because wanted to have experience with homestay. But owner had interest to business only.
Great view over the mountains. Some trails start 4 minute walk from the place.
There is no steady stream of hot water. Goes from freezing cold to boiling hot and then back again. Couldn't take a shower. Poor room isolation. There was nobody at the property when we arrived, lucky we had sim cards to call the owner.
Location was great because you don't need a car to walk to the different trails that were within 2 to 10 minutes walking distance - Misty Trail, Tea Trail, Sunset Trail, Sakura Trail etc . The owner is very warm hearted and generous. I enjoyed our conversations, and she also taught me quite a bit about tea.
Nothing as everything was as described including other guests' info.
Amazing location in between the tea fields. lovely host and great value for money
Beds were not very comfortable
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Didn't like the bathroom, which has a drop of more than 30cm or a foot ! This is very dangerous, especially when the floor is wet after shower. Anyone can slip and fall! Secondly, the shower is positioned right next to the door and the toilet bowl is inside after passing through shower area. This is a design failure. Thirdly, the 2 tables provided in the room are knee height, which made it difficult very difficult to work on it.
Great place to stay. The staff is very helpful and the view from their farm superb.
A gem hides in mountain.
Nil
Good location with fine view, You've to bring yr own breakfast - common kitchen outside.
Very bad room - no window, loud noise from the neighbors due to a hole in the wall, unbelievable hard beds and by far not enough separate bathrooms, so you had to wait for e.g using the restroom for half an hour...all that for a price far to high in comparison to other locations in taiwan. Besides an outrageous houseowner screaming with his little whiny child in a way you'd call the police if you were at home.
