How was the Home Inn?

So, which hotel is this? Could you name it so we can avoid it?

Now that Airbnb has left China, you really have to scrutinize homestays carefully before booking.

I stayed at an American-style place similar to this one, and it was the same. Water leaked into the room every time you showered. The room was tiny – two people could barely turn around – and the facilities were awful.

My personal experience: if there's no one-take video tour of the property on its main page, there's usually a problem with it.

[Robyn Reilly]

Excuse me, which place is this?

Looking at these bathroom floor tiles, I actually saved this place yesterday, thinking I might check it out for the Sanyuesan holiday.

When you're traveling for fun, just skip the homestays. It's not that all homestays are bad, but you go on vacation to be happy, right? Why spend money to make yourself miserable? Isn't booking a chain hotel a better idea?

[Ms. Beatrice Abernathy]

This is exactly why I'm hesitant to book homestays. They can be such a rip-off.

[Ken Fahey]

Oh my god, I've looked at this place before too! So glad I didn't book it...
