Homestay di Ruifang

We loved this place and everything about it. The host is lovely—she gave us many recommendations, ensured we knew what trains to take for our outings, gave us small gifts and goodies, offered to help us get laundry washed, and provided flexibility with check in and check out. All this she did with patience and a smile, even though we could not speak Mandarin and had to rely on translation apps. The location is excellent—walking distance to several buses and trains to nearby Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, Bitoujiao, Keelung, and other great spots. The room itself is quiet, comfortable, and spacious with great lighting. It seems very clean and modern, with nothing out of date and everything functioning perfectly. It is well-appointed and nicely laid out. Guests have access to water, a refrigerator, a tea kettle, coffee, and fast/consistent WiFi. The toiletries and soaps were luxury, and we took note of the shower gel in particular so we can buy it to take home. This place is exceptional value, easy to book and find, and offered us complete privacy and autonomy. The host provided great communication from our initial booking until we said goodbye. Overall we give this hotel our highest recommendation—it was our favorite hotel of the 4 we stayed in on our visit throughout the island. The next time we come to the Taipei area, we will stay here.

1. The room was very spacious, clean and cozy. We had a very comfortable stay. 2. True to the description, the room was big, had a refrigerator, hot/cold water dispenser, kitchenette/sink, hot water for bathing, cable tv and aircon. Everything worked great. 3. The landlady was very courteous, kind and generous: she gave us a room with two beds for the same rate. 4. There were lots of free stuff in the room. There were sachets of coffee and candies. There were mugs for coffee too. In the bathroom, there were sachets of bath gels, soaps, shampoos, toothbrush, comb, shaver, cotton buds for ears, and tissues. 5. I loved the location! The view outside the window was very nice - a view of the park, the river and a mountain in the background. It's also near Ruifang train station, food court, and other shops like Coco, Pizza Hut, 711, FamilyMart, etc. 6. Accessible. We went to the city and other places like Jiufen during the day, and our travel to and fro our room in Ruifang was easy via train, bus, and taxi. The transportation was great too. Very helpful people at the stations. 7. Very private and secured. The main door had a passcode to enter. After climbing the stairs to our room on the second floor, we used a key to open the door to our room. 8. Communicative landlady. The auntie was very easy to communicate with. I used this app to message her if I need anything. She was very responsive via this app since the start when I booked weeks before I came. * Note: english speaking guests can use a translator like Google Translate or DeepL when needed. The landlady can respond well in english in writing, but may have difficulty responding when in a call/direct oral conversation. 9. The pillow cases, sheets and bath towels were all very clean and scentless. The bathroom was huge and clean. Everything was clean. 10. Overall, we loved our stay here at Orange House in Ruifang! When I visit Taiwan again in the future, I will surely stay here again.

We were travelled all the way from Sun Moon Lake to Ruifang for an opportunity to stay in this wonderful villa, it is by far the best accomodation throughout our time in Taiwan and possibly one of the best in the world. The entire experience is just of surreal quality and very nature oriented. We have stayed in numerous hotels around but definitely nothing of this caliber. Firstly, it is the personal touch from the owner which makes it very special, he is a very hands-on and honest dude providing AUTHENTIC recommendations throughout our stay... and we definitely shared some of our artistic interests with one another as well. Try getting that personal touch in The Ritz, Claridges or even Shintamani... (all you will experience is just a formalistic approach) Secondly, the Villa is located in an almost abandoned hill which used to be a gold-mine hill with very little occupants around that hill and that is absolutely phenomenal... It is like an accomodation in a movie, very idyllic, peaceful and in an almost youtopian state Thirdly, and this comes as a surprise, we didnt know that up the hill it is Jiufen (one of the most popular spots in Taiwan), which is only a 5 minute drive up. Jiufen and Shifen is a must go destination in Taiwan, in fact I am looking to stay in a similar accomodation in Jiufen hopefully in my next visit. There are many other extraordinary experiences in this villa that is just priceless, from dining with complete privacy (just the 2 of us) and a stunning view, to sleeping with the sounds of the nature in an almost abandoned location. It is an accomodation just like a dream, once in a lifetime.

The host speaks English and is very helpful and pleasant to talk to. The place is very clean and facilities are functioning well. Strong wifi, nice hot shower, and drinking water dispenser, microwave, and big fridge in the common area. It's in the old town of Ruifang, about 8 mins walk to the train station where you have to get down the stairs to reach the new town of Ruifang. Here you can find the bus stops, Ruifang food court, convenience store, bubble tea shops, etc. Jiufen old street is 20 mins by bus from here for 15NTD. We took the train to Shifen. We came during the Pingxi Lantern Festival and the cost of accommodation is expensive at this time. I highly recommend this place to stay for those who wants to go to Shifen, Jiufen, and even Yehlui Geopark on their own.
