Lovely location, stunning views of the snow capped mountains from the rooms and court yard, very pretty hostel, great food, basic but nice rooms, clean and with heated blankets not that we needed them, highly recommended

Cannot review the rooms as we didn’t sleep there but we stopped here for lunch during our 2-day-hike in march 2013. On Wikitravel is written that they serve delicious food and the family is very friendly and hospitable…That`s why we were so surprised when the family (more the girls though) seemed not very interested. Rather boring they took our order... More

We started our tiger leaping gorge trek quite late on the first day and decided to spend the first night at the tea Horse guesthouse. It was a very good choice. The rooms are clean, the beds are confortable, the place is quiet with a nice view from the balcony, the food is good and the staff / family very... More

The location was perfect for us, just when we needed to stop. However the place is not very nice, we tought the halfway and naxi's family where much nicer. The bedroom are ok, the bed is ok for china. Ask for a room on the second floor to have a nice view from the balcony. The food was not so... More

The rooms with private bathrooms are log cabin like but they dont clean the bathrooms between guests so beware! I think this guesthouse is popular as they are a good halfway point on the trek but my recommendation is to keep walking for an hour and stay at the half way guesthouse instead. This place has a money driven atttitude... More

The location can't be beat with a beautiful view of the gorgeous mountains. The room j stayed in didn't have running water in the sink, the lights didn't work and the washroom door didn't close. It was a bit run down and could use a little maintenance. The beds were comfortable enough and they did provide a lot of blankets... More

The room we got at the Tea Horse guesthouse for 150 yuan looked fine at first glance, but then we saw the bathroom, which was not in good shape, with the shower a bit mouldy and one of the towels smelling musty as well. We didn't have too much choice in where we stayed, as it was getting dark already,... More

This was our favorite guesthouse on the Tiger Leaping Gorge trek. The only thing that it didn't have that Halfway Guesthouse did was an excellent deck in which you could sit and look at the glorious mountain. Staff were nice enough (though not much English was spoken) and the bathroom was a bit more tolerable than the other guesthouses we... More

We stopped at Tea Horse half way along the tiger leaping gorge trek. It's definitely the most half way point if starting from the eastern end of the trek. We left the start at about 11am, stopped for lunch at Naxi after about an hour and a half. Carrying on up the steep and high 28 bends we were glad... More
