I'm really surprised after reading other reviews of this guesthouse. People,you are in rural China! If you want a luxurious place where English is spoken, stay in Beijing. Auntie is a very sweet woman who made us feel more than welcome. She took excellent care of us and was always happy to do so. The guesthouse was full of travelers... More

I have never expected of 5-star service from a guest house. But the people running the guest house were extremely rude and unfriendly. The place was filthy and rundown. It was a walking distance to the viewpoint of Duoyishu but was very remote from other tourist attractions. It was also overpriced in particular during the peak season. This might be... More

The hostel is only a good view and nothing else, but anyway all the hostel in the zone has the same view, so is not an advantage!!, the staff is completely unfriendly, they don´t speak English, we know that in China is very common but they don´t even try!!, The rooms are less that basic, just a bed and nothing...

I took a few days off to relax and explore rural China - I really needed a nice and remote place so I could forget all urbanity possible. Well, Duoyishu Village is just the place. Unfortunately Sunny Guesthouse was not. The place has an amazing location with stunning views towards the terraces - for ¥180 a night (double room with... More

The location of Sunny guest house in Duoyishu village is just fantastic, right on the rice terraces, and close to many of the attractions in Yuanyang. This place also has dorms which are reasonably priced (as opposed to its private rooms which are totally overpriced) so if you're a budget traveler, most probably you will end up here, and enjoy...

Nobody at the hostel speaks English. They do have a guy who deals with emails and phone calls from English speaking guests, but he's based in somewhere as far away as Beijing I guess.  We were received by Auntie who, as she was showing us the rooms available, seemed like the sweetest grandma on Earth. But as soon as we've... More

My friend and I traveled to see the Yuanyang rice terraces this past December. We took a 6 hour bus ride from Kunming to Yuanyang and then caught a local van that dropped us off after an hour or so at the village where Sunny's is located. One of the workers came to pick us up at the entrance to... More

When researching a place to stay in Yuanyang you'll most likely find Sunny's Guesthouse. Although this is a longer type of review I'll say upfront that Sunny's is a great place to stay for the majority of travelers that pass by this region. The guesthouse offers the most amazing views and they they even have an open air roof that... More
