Homestays in Chiayi County

This was my first Homestay experience and I loved every minute of it!! I figured if I was to understand tea farming, it would be best to stay with tea farmers. The couple were so friendly and loved to tell and show you everything they knew, the touch, sight, smell, and taste of the tea, nearby local plant species, fireflies, etc. I also love all of their fur babies. They are genuinely good hearted people who enjoy the company of others. Also, the downtown is only a ten minute walk and my cousins and I went at 10 pm and felt perfectly safe!

The hosts at Tianyi are wonderful. They make it a real Homestay with their genuine and personal customer service. You don't feel like a customer though, more like a long-lost friend or relative! The optional tea making and firefly tours are a joy, and the provided food and teas are authentic, delicious and never-ending! I easily walked to the Shizhou 7322 bus stop with my big pack (15 min). My lovely fellow guests from the Phillipines and I also got help with local trails and bus 7322 movements.

Homestay was in the middle of a lush tea farm as you can see from an aerial photo which I have attached to this review. Entrance to the tea trails was just next to the homestay which was very convenient. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed has heater which kept us warm in bed. Host was very accommodating and fetched us to/from various places in Shuzhuo. Host served us different homecooked breakfast spread for the 2 days we stayed there. Highly recommended.

Amazing hospitality, lovely host, very peaceful place, beautiful views from the deck, surrounded by nature. I’d love to come back again.

This was a family trip, we booked three rooms, all of them were spacious. It was quite cold in Alishan, but the hot water supply was very good. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the white Shiba Inu was in heat and had been isolated and taken down the mountain, so we only saw the other two dogs. The staff sister recommended us to go up to see the sunset, but unfortunately, due to the haze, we didn't have a clear view. However, the location of this homestay is quite good, and our room had a view of the sunrise. Overall, we were very satisfied.

Homestay which feels like home. Spacious room with big beds. The owner VERY KIND. thanks Ms. TENG for your great hospitality & asisstant during our stay in Alishan. We had sweet memory in Tian yi homestay. Surely will be back again. Send our hugs to "OK" and other cats

We had an incredible stay at this homestay! The location is superb, offering a breathtaking view of the 云海 (sea of clouds) and a mesmerizing sunrise. The host was truly amazing, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The highlight for me was enjoying a cup of tea while soaking in the stunning scenery. Highly recommend for a memorable experience!

The owner very friendly. And warm! While she realize that we have elderly check in, she offer the downstairs rooms for us and upgrade it. Really appreciate her thoughtfulness! Hostel has offer home cook breakfast which we can try out the local breakfast. It’s a simple and very clean home stay! Definitely will stay again if back to Alishan and recommend to friends!

The family who run this home stay are amazing. So kind and welcoming. The family took us to a delicious dinner and to see the fireflies, taught us how to pick tea and dried it. This is a place for anyone who loves tea. The setting is gorgeous . We took a 2-3 hour hike on the trails to the top of the mountain starting from the homestay. In our opinion, that walk through the tea fields and the forest was better and less crowded than alishan national park. The rooms are simple and comfortable. I very highly recommend Tianyi!
