wow - wonderful & wonderful = two-ter-full”

Being of the older brigade (60 plus, hahaha) one could be excused for thinking we are too old for a "Youth Hostel" but with intrepid spirit and a mind of our own, we arrived at this hostel, met Hamson, found our rooms and thoroughly enjoyed the next 3 days. There is nothing one could complain about at this hostel. From the hospitality of Hamson, the location, to the comfort and cleanliness of the room, every box is to get a 10 out of 10. We have stayed at many youth hostels and the only one in the world in our opinion to come anywhere near to Travellers Land, is in Neafu' in Tonga. Only negative people with nothing better to do, could downgrade the wonderful experience we shared. Hamson and his beautiful wife and daughter shared their kitchen with us and made dumplings. He even sang happy birthday to one of us as we were two couples travelling together and my sister came to China to celebrate her 60th with us. It is beyond my understanding how this hostel is currently rating overall at only 8.1 as all four of us truly believe it is deserving of much higher. Nothing was overlooked in their spirit to make our stay an enjoyable experience. Hamson, you are a gem and your Waxberry wine was fun, xie xie. WE WILL RETURN. "Big Dumpling" (the queen), "Little Dumpling" (Anna), "Mr Coldfish" (Gundi) and La Jaoi (Steve) all salute you and will not forget your wonderful hospitality. If you want a 5star experience on a 2star budget, go to Travellers Land Youth Hostel, but if you want to complain, leave these peoples alone, just go somewhere else.

Great place to stay & even better bc the price”

This hostel completely exceeded my expectations. It was a really cute hostel that was a bit away from the main tourist area (along West Street) but it was the perfect location for accessing other attractions in the area and was really only a 10min walk to West Street- which gave us the opportunity to see more small nooks of Yangshuo that were not necessarily built up as a tourist destination. The staff spoke a little English but were incredibly helpful and generous with their time to explain and make recommendations for things to see/places to visit. They provide full-day bike and moped rentals at a decent price and discount tickets to different tourist attractions nearby (i.e. the Mud Cave, etc.). We rented a 2-bed room which was in good shape and really felt like a decent discount hotel. It had a quirky and artistic decor and I would totally go back to stay next time I'm in Yangshuo.

A great and inexpensive place to stay ”

the hostel is situated in a very nice spot for exploring other scenic places in yangshuo. it is in walking distance to the xijie pedestrian zone, which you can find tons of shops selling art crafts and bars. but the most impressive part is the travelling service provided by the hostel. we did not have to worry about transportation and arrangement. there are different well designed packages, with pick up service included, to you to choose. so it did help us s lot in saving our time. and the boss is very funny! people there are very nice! one thing not good enough is there is no wifi inside the room.

The owner makes a difference”

Best hostel ever visited. The owner welcomes you in a very personal way. He speaks very good English and has lots of suggestions for trips in the surrounded area. He has good prices at the attractions, only half the price of what you find in the city. The hostel is clean and the rooms have everything you need. There is a washing machine on the roof which you can use for free. It is situated about 500 m from the crazy West Street with lots of bars restaurants, souvenirs shops, and lively life. You will for sure appreciate the quietness in the hostel after spending time in the City. The view from the hostel is fabulous and breathtaking. Local people live beside and there is a supermarket close to the hostel. You can rent bikes but easily walk around the city. Hamson (the owner) really makes guests fell at home and he has several books with notes about every country. Try his homemade waxberry drink in the bar. There is free internet, “library”, films every night at 9 and a cozy atmosphere. A must try!

Very good”

Generall the place is a good choice in Yangshuo. But be aware that the owner operates two hostels in the town and by the time we were in Yangshuo the other one was closed. We were transferred to this place for free but still you want a place you book... Anyway, there is a nice rooftop and the staff is helpful and English speaking (mostly).

Great hostel but not in the centre. ”

This hostel is a very nice place! We can definitely recommend it! The owner is a very friendly, helpful person, he speaks very good English and he can recommend you places to visit (we went to a recommended bar to eat- it was delicious and very cheap! we also had a 'blind massage' which was one of the best we have had). The hostel itself has a very cosy common area, where you can meet other travelers, use Internet (two computers are provided), there is even a movie show every night on a big screen. The rooms a spacious and clean. Perfect place to relax! It's not very central though (15min walk to downtown) but we didn't mind as it has many places around like shops, restaurants, etc.

Very good service and value for the money”

The hostel was quite empty as we stayed there but it's a very decent place. You need 10-15 min walk to arrive to the western street which is pretty much the place to be in Yangshuo. They have rental bikes so that you can go in the countryside. Thew booked us our bus ticket to Guangzhou at the best price we have seen. All in all, it's a very good hotel for backpackers!

Very Affordable Hostel”

What I liked best about this hostel was the hospitality of the owners and staff. When we arrived to the hostel, knowing we were Czech (from Prague), played the Czech national anthem for us! They also played a few other Czech songs, and asked us for our favorite songs so they could share them with future Czech guests. This is just one example of their friendliness and hospitality. Clean hostel, good location...I'd definitely stay there again.

good location”

After travelling for 5 months some things are a must for a hostel and this place pretty much covers it all: Good points: computers to use downstairs with facebook access books and games to borrow good priced drinks at the bar good location in a quiet area rooms were clean and decent size (we had a twin room) decent shower with hot water and pressure kettle and cups in room (yay) decent view of the surrounding karst hills decent places to eat nearby and not far from West Street free washing facilities hair drier to use on each floor decent duvet and pillows use of kitchen Not so good: no WIFI in rooms (4th floor) so had to run up and down everytime you wanted to check something. Clothes took an age to dry on the lines so maybe install a dryer? English speaking owner seemed to just go through the motions of being polite when speaking to you Other than that, great place to stay and would recommend

Clean hostel with extremely helpful staff”

The hostel is mainly used by younger travelers (both Chinese and foreigners), and the atmosphere corresponds to it. The rooms are clean but small, air-conditioned, some with Western-style toilets, some with Chinese-style ones. Wifi in most rooms and in the lobby. Very moderate prices for beverages. The staff is extremely helpful and provides all information needed by individual travelers. They rent bicycles.

clean, relaxed, homey”

We had a nice stay at this hostel and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One night we were invited to join the owner and his family for dinner which was delicious. There are many local restaurants close by which is needed as hotel serves no food really. Nightlife and bus station is about a 15min walk

Excellent Owner”

Location 5 minutes walking distance to bus stop, halal food and easy acces to many tourist spots. Owner is very very good, upgrade my dorm room to be private and giving us reasonable price to rent a motobike.

We were changed to BACKPACKERS HOSTEL since the TRAVELLERS LAND is closed for renovation ”

The lobby is nice, stuff great. Rooms spacey and ok entirely. Budget friendly, I can say it's absolutely ok. Just the laundry is not so good so if you have to use the laundry it's not something...

Excellent value”

Very friendly staff; they invited us to lunch one day which was delicious. Hard beds which is common in China. Excellent value.

Budget Hostel”

The owner really helpful and attentive. Budget room and cozy environment. Might be out of the tourist area but safe and easy to find food

Tricked into booking a hostel that isn’t operating ”

I spent a while choosing my hotel location and settled on here as the price was discounted and fairly close to where I wanted to be. Two or three days later I get an email saying they are closed due to renovations that are currently going on and id been moved to their other location 1.5km from where I wanted. Pretty annoyed that they would do something like that. The place they moved me to was no where near where I wanted to be and was of a slightly lower rating. But I had ran out of time to rearrange stuff due to being busy. So it’s hard to make a comment out this place as I didn’t actually stay there.

Great location”

The hostel is very clean and comfortable with a manager who wants to do a good job and to make guests comfortable.

lovely hostel for backpackers”

The guesthouse owner is indeed very nice. It is a bit far to the XiJie street, need about 15mins walking distance. But by renting a bicycle from the guesthouse owner, there is no an issue anymore. Free wifi is available, only applicable at the ground floor lobby though.

Lovely stay ”

The room has lesser feeling than the hostel overall environment, especially in lobby. But, it is still consider good in overall.

Personal muy amable pero bicicletas en mal estado”
