    Everything was perfect

    Everything - the location, the hosts, the facilities and the service. Boya and Lisa are naturally hospitable hosts and their knowledge of the area makes them a great source of information. They looked after me really well and made my stay a very pleasant one. 5/5

    Lisa and Boya won my heart in a second. Lisa already contacted me before and were so patient with all my questions. As I had no car, they picked me up at the train station and also organized a driver for my next station. I enjoyed hanging around with them, listening to their love story and enjoyed the quietness of the property. Every morning I took a walk on the beach. Their breakfast is lovely and made with so much love for detail. Taroko is super near, you can walk 1km to bus station that brings you to the entrance of Taroko. One day Boya drove me, I made clear it is not necessary but he just said „I am here and have time“ - he is originally from Taroko tribe and knows the history very well. Come here and allow yourself to seek in their kindness and peace - and give it back equally.

Delicious breakfast and coffee, amazing details like cultural tour and music nights, so close to stunning Taroko Gorge and even pick up service from the train station Xincheng - couldn't be better. Thank you SO MUCH!

Low price and great location. They also provided help for us to find the right place in Taroko to start our hiking. Would definitely return (with gifts haha)

    Nothing at all! This stay was perfect.

    The B&B is in the perfect location. It’s surrounded by 700 coffee trees and lush green mountains. There are flowers and all sorts of plants growing in the garden, and plenty of seating to enjoy the tranquility. The rooms are spacious and there is a great communal area where you are served homemade coffee and also get to meet other guests.

    The location is nearby the Taroko Gorge. Lisa and Boya are very warm and kind hosts together with his son. Lots of vegetation and fruits to educate us. Room is spacious for 3-4 people. we have two Queen beds in our room and a shower area. Breakfast was homemade pancake and jams. We would love to come back again in the ner future. Also we would recommend this B&B to those who are looking to visit Taroko Gorge.

    Nothing really.

    I don’t think there are enough words to describe our experience at George Coffee Homestay. It’s a beautiful location in the heart of Taroko, perfect if you want to go visit the national park. The hosts are just the most welcoming and warmest people I’ve ever met. They make you feel like home right away and truly go the extra mile to make sure you having a great time by recommending places to eat, trails, and things to visit. They were so kind and though this was not part of their responsibility, they’ve taken time to introduce us to the town, culture of Taroko people, history, traditions and a little bit of their beautiful and unique family story. We finished the night by making our own lucky bracelets which I personally loved and the highlight of the night was them playing a song that Boya wrote to Lisa about their love story. The room is super nice and big, cozy and very clean. The breakfast was delicious every morning and the best part if of course drinking their own coffee. If you’re looking for a place in Taroko, you don’t want to miss out on George Homestay! :)

    If you are visiting Taroko, you really must stay here! Lisa and Boya are two of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Once we arrived, Boya gave us a list of great local places for dinner, then he gave us a night tour of the nearby Taroko Indigenous village where he grew up and told us about Taroko culture and history. Lisa showed us how to make bracelets from local seeds then they played music and sang songs that Boya wrote about their love story. Breakfast was wonderful both days, and they served us amazing coffee that they grew on their farm! They also helped us get permits for Zhuilu old trail, which you have to do over a month in advance. The location of the guesthouse is very close to the national park.

    It is close to the railway, so occasionally you hear a train, but it didn’t bother us much.

    Great location, large room, lovingly prepared breakfast and coffee and most of all the fantastic hosts Lisa and Boya. They really went the extra mile, recommend places to eat and hikes, introduce us to their culture and made the whole stay amazing.

    This is the best place we've stayed on our backpacking trip - no doubt. Boya and Lisa are so kind and hospitable. Boya collected us from the train station and helped us with transport every single day, as we didn't have a car or scooter. He let us use some bikes on his property (very old and rusty - only useable for short leisure rides around the farms). Their coffee and breakfast are wonderful, we were spoiled. The rooms are very comfy and clean, and the property is beautiful to walk around, sit down and meditate/write/draw. The best part was the hosts sharing their lives with us. The culture, craft, music and stories were beautiful to hear about and participate in. Do yourselves a favour and book this experience :)

    Lisa and Boya are the nicest people I have ever met in a home stay. Because the hotel is a bit out of town, Boya brings his guests to a restaurant and picks them up again after dinner. I was there with my (adult) daughter and there were 2 other couples. The first night, Boya took all of us for a small trip to explain the taroko people and their culture. After that, Lisa organised a little DIY bracelet making, all free of charge. If you want to go to the Taroko Gorge or Qingshui cliffs, then the location is great, and much closer than Hualien City.
