ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS [Abstract]	'
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS	'
		1	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Home Inns & Hotels Management Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”.
	The Company was established in Cayman Islands on May 30, 2006. In June 2006, all the then existing shareholders of Home Inns & Hotels Management (Hong Kong) Limited (“Home Inns HK”), the Company’s predecessor, exchanged their respective shares in Home Inns HK for an equivalent number of shares in the Company. As a result, Home Inns HK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Home Inns HK did not have any operations until April 2002 when Home Inns & Hotels Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Home Inns Beijing”), a hotel operation and management company, was established as a joint venture of Home Inns HK and Beijing Capital Travel International Hotel Group Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Capital Travel”), a subsidiary of Beijing Tourism Group (“BTG”). At inception, Home Inns HK and BTG, through Beijing Capital Travel, owned 55% and 45% interest in Home Inns Beijing, respectively. Through a series of financing activities and acquisitions, Home Inns Beijing has become a wholly-owned subsidiary in July 2007.
	In October 2006, the Company completed an initial public offering of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). ADSs of the Company are traded from October 26, 2006 on Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “HMIN” in the United States.
	In October 2011, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Motel 168 International Holding Limited ("Motel 168"). The total consideration of RMB 2,869,045 included RMB 2,201,731 in cash and RMB 667,314 in share consideration of 8,149,616 Home Inns’ ordinary shares. Thereafter, Motel 168 became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group. (Refer to Note 6).
	The principal activities of the Group are to develop, lease, operate, franchise, and manage economy hotels under the Home Inn brand, Yitel brand and Motel 168 brand in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Group either leases real estate properties on which it develops and operates hotels or franchises the Home Inn brand, Yitel brand and Motel 168 brand to hotel owners and manages these hotels. The former type of hotels is referred to as “leased-and-operated hotels” and the latter type of hotels as “franchised-and-managed hotels.”
	Leased-and-operated hotels
	The Group leases hotel properties from property owners and develops these hotels directly, by hiring, training and supervising the managers and employees to operate the hotels. The Group is responsible for hotel development and customization to conform to the standards of the Group, as well as repairs and maintenance, operating expenses and management of properties over the term of the lease. Under the lease arrangements, the Group typically enjoys rental holiday of three to six months and pays fixed rent on a quarterly basis for the first three or five years of the lease term, after which the rental payments may be subject to an increase every three to five years.
	Franchised-and-managed hotels
	The Group enters into certain franchise arrangements with hotel owners for which the Group is responsible for managing the hotels, including hiring and appointment of the general manager of each franchised-and-managed hotel. Under a typical franchise agreement, the franchisee is required to pay an initial franchise fee and ongoing management service fees equal to a certain percentage of the revenues of the hotel. The franchisee is responsible for the costs of hotel development and customization and the costs of its operations. The term of the franchise agreement is typically 5 years or 8 years and is renewable only upon mutual agreement between the Group and the franchisee.

PRINCIPAL_ACCOUNTING_POLICIES

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
		2	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:
	a. Basis of presentation and use of estimates
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s financial statements mainly include assumptions used in the computation of share-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, assumption of redemption rate utilized in customer loyalty program, assumptions and inputs used in fair value measurement of financial liabilities, assumptions used to measure impairment of long-lived assets, intangible asset with indefinite life and goodwill, useful lives of long-lived assets, determination of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired through business combinations, recognition of non-controlling interests, and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Such accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB 95.2 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s credit facilities was RMB 850 million and these facilities are available to be drawn down if needed. The Group believes that by closely monitoring and appropriately allocating its cash resources, together with drawing down the above credit facilitates, if needed, it is able to maintain a sufficient cash position and liquidity status in the foreseeable future.
	b. Basis of consolidation and accounting for investments
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
	A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
	Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, which provides guidance on the identification of and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests, which requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity.
	The Company evaluates its business relationships such as those with franchisees to identify potential variable interest entities. Generally, these businesses qualify for the business scope exception under the consolidation guidance. Therefore, the Company has concluded that consolidation of any such entities is not appropriate for the periods.
	c. Foreign currencies
	The Group’s functional currency and reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China foreign exchange trading system market.
	d. Convenience translation
	Translations of balances in the statements of operations, balance sheet and statement of cash flows from RMB into United States dollars (“US$”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$ 1.00 =MB 6.0537, on December 31, 2013, representing the certificated exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2013, or at any other rate.
	e. Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and liquid investment which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less that are placed with banks or other financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2012 included US$ 41,524 thousand and HK$ 0.1 thousand. Cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2013 included US$ 42,256 thousand and HK$ 0.1 thousand.
	f. Restricted cash
	Restricted cash consists of cash proceeds from the exercise of share options by the Company’s employees which are yet to be transmitted to them, cash deposited in an escrow account for the settlement of the outstanding purchase consideration of Motel 168 acquisition, and cash reserved in specific interests reserve account (“IRA”) for term loans which was repaid in June 2013 with the early extinguishment of term loans.
	g. Allowance for doubtful accounts
	Provision is made against receivables to the extent collection is considered to be doubtful. Accounts receivable and other receivables in the balance sheet are stated net of such provision, if any. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, the allowance for doubtful accounts was nil and RMB 1,558, respectively.
	h. Consumables
	The Group purchases consumables for the operation of leased-and-operated hotels. Consumables include fabrics, such as towels and beddings, which need to be renewed periodically. Consumables are amortized over their useful lives, generally one year or less, from the time they are put into use and are stated at purchase price less accumulated amortization.
	i. Property and equipment, net
	Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs, including interest cost during the period the asset is brought to its working condition and location for its intended use.
	Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight line method over their expected useful lives. The expected useful lives are as follows:
	Buildings	40 years
	Leasehold improvements	Over the shorter of the economic useful life or the lease period
	Machinery and equipment	5 to 10 years
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	3 to 5 years
	Construction in progress represents leasehold improvements under construction or installation and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of property and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment and depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use.
	Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, if any, is recognized in the statements of operations as the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the underlying asset.
	j. Fair value measurement
	The Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair value measurements and disclosures” on January 1, 2008. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The guidance outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and the guidance details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
	The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
	Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the management has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are nor active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
	Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect the management’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The management develops these inputs based on the best information available, including their own data.
	The following table presents information about the Group’s financial liabilities classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
			Balance as of December 31, 2013
						Fair Value Measurements
			Carrying Value			Using Fair Value Hierarchy
						Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Liability award of Yitel’s share option (Note 14 (c))			2,022			-		-		2,022
	Convertible notes measured at fair value			1,157,295			-		-		1,157,295
	Total financial liability			1,159,317			-		-		1,159,317

	Interest rate swap transaction			10,562			-		-		10,562
	Total financial liability			1,067,235			-		-		1,067,235
	A summary of changes in Level 3 financial liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:
	Balance at December 31, 2012			1,067,235
	Add: Unrealized loss - change in fair value in convertible notes (note 12)			133,404
	Add: compensation cost in connection with Yitel hotel’s options (note 14(c))			1,558
	Less: Foreign exchange gains in convertible notes (note 12)			(32,318	)
	Less: Gain arising from change in fair value in interest rate swap transaction (note 12)			(912	)
	Less: Cash settlement of swap transaction (note 12)			(9,650	)
	Balance at December 31, 2013			1,159,317
k. Fair value of financial instruments
The following table presents information about the composition of the Group’s financial instruments and the relevant fair value considerations.
Items		Fair value consideration
Cash and cash equivalents		Carrying values of these items approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Restricted cash
Receivables
Payables
Accruals
Term loans		The carrying values of term loans approximate their fair values as all the borrowings carry variable interest rates which approximate rates currently offered by the Group's bankers for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.
Financial liability		Fair value of financial liability associated with the issuance of convertible notes in 2010 is measured using Level 3 inputs, which is measured using a binomial model. Fair value of the financial liability associated with the interest rate swap transaction in 2011 is measured using level 3 inputs, which is measured using the discounted cash flow method (Refer to Note 12).
l. Business combinations
U.S. GAAP requires that business combinations be accounted for under the acquisition purchase method. From January 1, 2009, the Group adopted ASC805 “Business Combinations”. Following this adoption, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the entity acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statements of operations.
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although we believe that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material.
m. Jointly controlled entity
Investment in a jointly controlled entity is accounted for by the equity method of accounting as the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest. Under this method, the Group’s income (loss) from investment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and the jointly controlled entity are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the jointly controlled entity, if any; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Group’s share of losses in the jointly controlled entity equals or exceeds its interest in the jointly controlled entity, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the jointly controlled entity.
The Group reviews its investment in the jointly controlled entity to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other than temporary at period end. The primary factors the Group considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Group’s carrying value and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, the Group considers the reason for the decline in fair value, including general market conditions, industry-specific or investee-specific reasons, and changes in valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date and the Group’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the security is written down to fair value. There were no impairment losses for its investment in the jointly controlled entity in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
n. Goodwill
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and other (Topic350), since 2012, which gives the Group an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is then tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill.
Management performs a goodwill impairment assessment under one single reporting unit. They assess qualitative factors firstly by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Management determines that quoted market price (the Home Inns stock price) is the best evidence of fair value and uses it as the basis of the fair value measurement (in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-22). As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the market capitalization of Home Inns well exceeded the carrying amount of the reporting unit. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
o. Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets consist primarily of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and software purchased from third parties. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Intangible assets, including brand, favorable lease agreements and certain franchise agreements existing as of the date of acquisition, are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition.
Except brand, intangible assets arising from business combinations are amortized on a straight-line base over the remaining operating lease term, the franchise agreement term, or estimated life of customer relationship. The estimated useful lives of amortized intangibles are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the useful lives have changed.
The trademarked Motel 168 brand was registered in PRC China with remaining legal life of 5 years and can be renewed with minimal costs. Motel 168 is a well-recognized brand in the economy hotel industry in PRC China. The useful life of the brand is indefinite. The Group evaluates indefinite-lived intangible asset each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, the asset is tested for impairment. ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” provides that intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment.
Purchased software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any, and is amortized on the straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
No impairment of intangible assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
p. Impairment of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets
Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets and significant negative industry or economic trends. Impairments are recognized based on the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value in the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flow attributed to such assets. Fair value is generally measured based on either quoted market prices, if available, or discounted cash flow analyses. Additionally, determining fair values requires probability weighting the cash flows to reflect expectations about possible variations in their amounts or timing and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Although cash flow estimates are based on relevant information available at the time the estimates are made, estimates of future cash flows are, by nature, highly uncertain and may vary significantly from actual results. Any write-downs would be treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amounts of the assets and an operating loss would be recognized. The impairment losses on property and equipment recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were RMB 1,705, RMB 12,641 and RMB 621, respectively.
q. Employee benefits
The employees of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, unemployment insurance and pension benefits. These entities are required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations and make contributions to the government-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. Employee benefits expense was RMB 180,145, RMB 215,251 and RMB 230,331 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Amounts accrued and included in salaries and welfare payable and other unpaid and accruals in the balance sheets were RMB 11,913 and RMB 10,060 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
r. Accruals for customer reward program
The Group invites its customers to participate in a customer reward program. Prior to November 14, 2004, membership was free of charge. A one-time membership fee was charged after that date for new members. Members enjoy discounts on room rates, priority in hotel reservation, and accumulate membership points for their paid stays, which can be redeemed for membership upgrades, room night awards and other gifts. The estimated incremental costs to provide membership upgrades, room night awards and other gifts are accrued and recorded as accruals for customer reward program as members accumulate points and recognized as sales and marketing expenses in the statements of operations. As members redeem awards or their entitlements expire, the provision is reduced correspondingly.
After the acquisition of Motel 168, the terms under the Motel 168’s customer reward program have been updated to conform to that of Home Inns’ customer reward program.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the accruals for customer reward program amounted to RMB 5,499 and RMB 21,811, respectively. The expenses for the customer rewards program were (reversed) / recognized by RMB (16,307), RMB 289, and RMB 16,312 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
The Group estimates the liabilities under the customer rewards program based on accumulated membership points and the estimate of probability of redemption in accordance with the historical redemption pattern. If actual redemption differs significantly from their estimate, it will result in an adjustment to the liability and the corresponding expenses.
s. Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue generally consists of advances received from customers for room stays, initial franchise fees received prior to the Group fulfilling its commitments to the franchisee, and cash received from sale of membership programs. Non-current portion of deferred revenue represents cash received from initial franchise fees and sales of membership program, which is recognized after one year from the balance sheet date.
t. Revenue recognition
Revenues from leased-and-operated hotels represent primarily room rentals and food and beverage sales from the leased-and-operated hotels. Such revenues are recognized when goods are delivered and services are provided.
Revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels are derived from franchise agreements where the franchisees are required to pay (i) an initial franchise fee and (ii) on-going management and service fees based on a percentage of revenue which approximates 3% to 6% of the room revenues of the franchised hotels. The franchise fee is an initial one-time fee. For the franchise agreements signed under Home Inns brand, Yitel brand and Motel 168 brand after its acquisition by the Group, the franchise fee is recognized as revenue when the franchised hotel opens for business, becomes non-refundable, and the Group has fulfilled all its commitments and obligations including the assistance to the franchisees in property design, leasehold improvement construction project management, systems installation, personnel recruiting and training. For the franchise agreements signed under Motel 168 brand prior to its acquisition by the Group, the franchise fee is recorded as deferred revenue when cash is received and recognized as revenue during the franchising period which usually is 5 years as the franchisees have the refund right which elapses proportionally within 5 years. On-going management and service fees are recognized when the underlying service revenue is recognized by the franchisees’ operations. Other revenues generated from franchise agreements include system maintenance and support fee and central reservation system usage fee, which are recognized when services are provided.
Prior to the second quarter of 2011, revenue from one-time membership fees was deferred when received and was recognized when membership records showed no activity after a year. With sufficient historical information and accumulative knowledge on membership activity pattern, the Group estimated that average life of memberships is approximately two years. Therefore, the change in accounting estimate is applied prospectively, and revenue from one-time membership fees has been recognized over two years on a straight line basis since April 1, 2011. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recognized revenue of RMB 79,367, RMB 172,148 and RMB 178,822 from one-time membership fees, respectively.
The Group continues to monitor the membership activity pattern and reassess average life of memberships at each period end to ensure estimate of revenue recognition period is reasonable.
u. Business tax and related surcharge
The Group is subject to business tax and related surcharges on the services provided in the PRC. Such tax is levied based on turnover at a total approximate rate of 5.6% and is recorded as a reduction of revenues.
v. Leased-and-operated hotel costs
Leased-and-operated hotel costs include all direct costs incurred in the operation of the leased-and-operated hotels and consist primarily of property rentals and related expenses, utility costs, personnel compensation, amortization of guest room consumables, amortization of leasehold improvements, depreciation of equipment, consumables, food and beverage costs.
w. Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising related expenses, expenses associated with the Group’s membership reward program, payroll and related compensation for the Group’s sales and marketing personnel and entertainment expenses relating to marketing activities. Advertising related expenses, including promotion expenses and production costs of marketing materials, are charged to the statements of operations as incurred and amounted to RMB 21,944, RMB 24,068 and RMB 29,221 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
x. Share-based compensation
The Group accounts for share-based compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. It requires the Group to measure at the grant date the fair value of the stock-based award and recognize compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The Group uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The requisite service period is the vesting period, which is generally 4 years. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
A subsidiary of the Company grants share options which contained an exercise price denominated in US$. The Group determined it should account for the U.S. dollar denominated share options granted to employees and directors of the subsidiary as liability awards as the Company’s functional currency is RMB and the underlying shares denominated in U.S. dollar has not been publicly traded. All grants of share-based awards to employees and directors classified as liability are remeasured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period expense in order to properly reflect the cumulative expense based on the current fair value of the vested rewards over the vesting periods.
y. Leases
The Company leases certain property and equipment.
Leases of property and equipment are classified as operating leases when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease.
Leases of property and equipment are classified as finance leases when the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in finance lease liabilities. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the statements of operations over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the lease term if the lease does not meet the transfer of ownership criterion or the bargain purchase option criterion. If the lease meets either the transfer of ownership criterion or the bargain purchase option criterion, then the related assets are depreciated over the useful life of the assets.
Fixed assets capitalized under finance leases are depreciated in accordance with the Group’s policy for the depreciation of fixed assets.
z. Borrowing costs
Interests incurred in connection with term loan used for acquisition of Motel 168 are expensed as incurred. The upfront fee incurred in connection with the term loan are amortized and recorded as interest expenses over the loan period (Refer to Note 11).
Interest cost incurred on funds used to construct leasehold improvements during the active construction period is capitalized. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, there was no capitalized interest cost.
aa. Pre-operating expenditure
Pre-operating expenditure represents start-up costs, other than amounts capitalized as leasehold improvements, for leased-and-operated hotels are charged to the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which it is incurred.
ab. Taxation
The provision for income taxes is based on the income and expense amounts recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. Income tax expenses are recorded using the liability method. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized and measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. For the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, there were no uncertain tax positions.
ac. Non-operating income
Other non-operating income primarily consists of financial subsidies received from provincial and local governments for operating a business in their jurisdictions and compliance with specific policies promoted by the local governments. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group received financial subsidies of RMB 22,356, RMB 43,248 and RMB 52,751, respectively, from various local PRC government authorities. There are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to receive such benefits, and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. Such amounts are recorded as other non-operating income when received as there is no additional condition attached to the subsidies.
ad. Statutory reserves
The Group’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are required to set aside 10% of their net income, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, and before profit distributions to the investors, as reported in its statutory accounts on an annual basis to the Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund. Once the total Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of the respective subsidiaries, further appropriations are discretionary. The Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund can be used to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses of the respective companies under PRC regulations. The Group’s Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund is not distributable to shareholders except in the event of liquidation.
Appropriations to the Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund are accounted for as a transfer from retained earnings to statutory reserves. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group made total appropriations to these statutory reserves of RMB 31,749, RMB 32,695 and RMB 48,475, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Group made a reversal of RMB 141 from the statutory reserve due to disposal of a subsidiary.
ae. Dividends
Dividends are recognized when declared. The Group has not declared or paid any dividends to its shareholders except for the noncontrolling interests.
Current PRC regulations permit PRC companies to pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries can only distribute dividends after they have met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves (Note 2(ad)). Restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries not distributable in the form of dividends to the parent as a result of the aforesaid PRC regulations were RMB 3,461,710 as of December 31, 2013. In addition to the typical statutory reserves of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, the restricted net assets also include RMB 3,254,818 paid in capital.
af. Earnings per share
In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The Company’s convertible bonds issued in 2007 and convertible notes issued in 2010 are not participating securities because the terms of the agreements do not provide any participating rights to the holders before conversion. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the monetary effect of instruments that are dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible bonds and convertible notes (using the if-converted method) the vesting of restricted stock and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options (using the treasury stock method).
ag. Segment reporting
The Company follows “Disclosures about Segment of an Enterprise and Related Information” for its segment reporting. The Group operates and manages its business as a single segment. The Company’s chief operation decision-maker (“CODM”) reviews operating results to make decision about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire company.
The Group primarily generates its revenues from customers in the PRC, and assets of the Group are also located in PRC. Accordingly, no geographical segments are presented.
ah. Recent accounting pronouncements
In February of 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to provide information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income (for example, where amounts are reclassified to inventory), an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the amendments are effective with prospective application for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2013, and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March of 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. The amendments in the ASU clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward, except as noted in the following sentence. To the extent a net operating loss, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such a purpose, then under this exception the unrecognized tax benefit is to be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with (netted with) the deferred tax asset(s). The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is “available” is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset amounts that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a materially impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ai. Certain risks and concentration
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, substantially all of the Company’s cash was held in major financial institutions located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States of America, which management considers being of high credit quality. China does not have an official deposit insurance program, nor does it have an agency similar to The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States. However, the Group believes that the risk of failure of any of these PRC banks is remote. Bank failure is extremely uncommon in China and the Group believes that those Chinese banks that hold the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and long term time deposit are financially sound based on public available information.
Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized and are denominated in RMB, and are derived from revenues earned from operations arising in the PRC.
No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2013.
aj. Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

	4.    INCOME TAXES
	Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and the Republic of Mauritius (“Mauritius”)
	Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, BVI and Mauritius, the Company and its subsidiaries registered in Cayman Islands, BVI and Mauritius are not subject to tax on income or capital gain. In addition, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.
	Hong Kong
	Home Inns Hong Kong subsidiaries were subject to Hong Kong profit tax at a rate of 16.5% on their assessable profits. No Hong Kong profit tax has been provided as the Group did not have assessable profit that was earned in or derived from Hong Kong subsidiaries during the years presented.
	PRC
	The Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are subject to PRC Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) on the taxable income as reported in their respective statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant PRC income tax laws. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter “the new CIT Law”) as approved by the National People’s Congress on March 16, 2007, under which the corporate income tax rate applicable to most of the Group’s PRC entities adjusted from 33% to 25%. Five of the Group’s subsidiaries enjoyed a preferential income tax rate of 15% before 2008, and the income tax rate applicable to these subsidiaries is phased in at 18%, 20%, 22%, 24% and 25% in a 5 year period from 2008 to 2012. Suzhou Hengchuang Software Co., Ltd. was qualified software enterprises in 2012, and is exempted from income tax for the first two years and is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 12.5% for the three years from thereafter.
	On February 22, 2008, the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) and the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) jointly issued CaiShui [2008] Circular 1 (“Circular 1”). According to Article 4 of Circular 1, distributions of accumulated profits earned by a Foreign Invested Enterprise (“FIE”) prior to January 1, 2008 to foreign investor(s) in 2008 or after will be exempt from withholding tax (“WHT”) while distribution of the profit earned by an FIE after January 1, 2008 to its foreign investor(s) shall be subject to WHT at a rate up to 10%. For certain jurisdictions that have signed tax treaties with the PRC, the WHT rate are 5%. No dividend was declared by PRC subsidiaries in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. As the Group intended to indefinitely reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in PRC China, undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 were considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Therefore, no deferred tax liability was recognized in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010.
	In September 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Motel 168, the Group entered into a US$240.0 million US dollar denominated, 4-year term loan facility agreement. In June 2013, the Group completed the refinancing of this term loan with the outstanding balance of US$ 117.0 million. The new US dollar denominated term loan facility of US$ 117.0 million, due in June 2016, was sourced from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Refer to Note 11). In order to repay the debt, after-tax profits from its major PRC subsidiaries in China may be distributed to its overseas holding company borrower. The Group has recognized the relevant deferred tax liability of RMB 29,439 and RMB 52,155 as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 in connection with cumulative distributable profits of its major PRC subsidiaries earned after January 2008 using a 5% dividend withholding tax rate provided as a preferential rate by the tax arrangement between PRC and Hong Kong (Refer to below Reconciliation of the differences between statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate), and the increased balance was relating to the operation income from its PRC subsidiaries generated in 2013.

	Reconciliation of the differences between statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate
	Reconciliation between the statutory CIT rate and the Group’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31 is as follows:
		2011			2012			2013
	Statutory CIT rate		25	%		25	%		25	%
	Tax differential from statutory rate applicable to subsidiaries in the PRC		(3	)%		(1	)%		(1	)%

	Withholding tax on earnings no longer considered indefinitely reinvested		7	%		21	%		6	%
	Effective CIT rate		32	%		120	%		51	%
	* Tax differential for the expenses recorded by the Company and its subsidiaries registered in Cayman Islands, BVI and Mauritius which are not subject to tax primarily represents the following items which are not tax deductible: (i) a rate of 5% as a result of permanent difference arising from the share-based compensation expenses (2012: 21%, 2011: 4%); (ii) a rate of 6% as a result of permanent differences arising from the interest expense in convertible notes and term loan (2012: 26%, 2011: 2%); (iii) a rate of 8% as a result of permanent difference in connection with loss arising from change in fair value in convertible notes (2012: 19%, 2011: (9)%); (iv) a rate of (3)% as a result of permanent differences arising from foreign exchange gain from monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (2012: (0.1)%, 2011: (1)%).

	The Group had tax loss carry forward of RMB 902,341 as of December 31, 2013. The Group’s remaining tax loss carry forward will be netted against future taxable income. According to the PRC CIT regulations, the loss incurred during a tax year may be carried forward to the following years and set off against the profits of the following years, but the period shall not exceed a maximum of 5 years. These accumulated tax losses will expire on or before January 1, 2019.
	A valuation allowance of RMB 222,982 and RMB 179,257 was provided for the net deferred tax assets of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The valuation allowances were provided on the deferred tax assets to the extent that management believed it was more likely than not that such deferred tax assets would not have been realized in the foreseeable future. Valuation allowances were also provided because it was more likely than not that the Company will not be able to utilize certain tax loss carry forwards generated by certain subsidiaries. As those entities continue to have accumulated tax losses and tax planning strategies are not available to utilize those tax losses in other subsidiaries, management believes it is more likely than not that such losses will not be utilized before they expire. If events occur in the future that prevent the Company from realizing some or all of its deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will be recognized when such events occur. In the PRC, tax loss carry forwards generally expire after five years.
	For the tax holidays described for certain entities in the “PRC” section of this Note, the aggregate amount and per share effect of the tax holidays are as follows:

	The jointly controlled entity was originally invested by Motel 168 and Suzhou Taide Hotels Management Co., Ltd. who has 50% of equity interest, respectively. After the acquisition by Home Inns on October 1, 2011, the amount of RMB 853 recognized as ‘share of loss of a jointly controlled entity’ in the consolidated statements of operations is equal to the share of total loss of the jointly controlled entity during the three-month ended in December 31, 2011. It has exceeded the original cost of the Group’s investment in the entity. Before the acquisition, Motel 168 loaned RMB 10,000 to the entity without a specified repayment date. This loan has the same economic effect as a capital contribution and should be treated as being a part of the net investment in the entity. Therefore, Motel 168 treated its original investment of RMB 500, together with the loan of RMB 10,000 that in substance form part of the net investment, as the ceiling, being RMB 10,500, to pick up its share of loss of the entity. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group fully picked up its share of loss of the entity of RMB 853, RMB 1,676 and RMB 792, and records it as a reduction to the interests in a jointly controlled entity.

		6	ACQUISITION
		a.	Acquisition of Motel 168
	On October 1, 2011, to further strengthen the Group's diverse growth plans and multi-brand strategy, the Group completed the transaction to acquire 100% equity interest in Motel 168, a well-established economy hotel chain in China. The Group obtained control over Motel 168 and has consolidated its financial statements since then. The total purchase price for the transaction was approximately RMB 2,869,045, which consists of RMB 2,201,731 in cash consideration and RMB 667,314 in shares consideration of Home Inns’ 8,149,616 ordinary shares. Fair value of the ordinary shares is measured at the quoted market price of US$12.885 as of September 30, 2011, the date closest to the acquisition date. Total acquisition costs were RMB 63,824, which were expensed as incurred in the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Purchase Price Allocation
	The total purchase price was allocated to Motel 168’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values as set forth below. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Motel 168 is recorded as goodwill. The Group makes estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, based on its experience with similar assets and liabilities in similar industries. In performing the purchase price allocation, the Group considered the analyses of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Motel 168’s business.
	Allocation of purchase price:
	Fair value of net tangible assets acquired			559,267
	Intangible assets-favorable lease			399,193
	Intangible assets-customer relationship			6,990
	Intangible assets-franchise agreement			48,770
	Intangible assets-brand			684,300
	Unfavorable lease liability			(392,608	)
	Goodwill			1,806,846
	Net deferred tax liability, non-current			(243,713	)
	Total purchase price			2,869,045
	No significant contingencies were identified which should be valued. Motel 168 contributed net revenues of RMB 346,365 and incurred net loss of RMB 17,516 from October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.
	Unaudited Pro forma Financial Information
	The following unaudited combined pro forma information presents information of the Group as if the acquisition above occurred on January 1, 2010.
	(in RMB)		2011
			(unaudited)
	Net revenues			4,753,563
	Income from operations			290,302
	Net income			255,998
	Earnings per share
	Basic			2.84
	Diluted			0.23
	The unaudited pro forma financial information includes RMB 4,203 in 2011 for the net amortization of identifiable intangible assets and unfavorable leases. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2011 excluded the transaction costs of RMB 63,824. These costs were directly related to this transaction and were non-recurring. The pro forma diluted gain per share of 2011 was RMB 0.23, primarily due to fair value impact of convertible notes. The information presented above is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2010.
		b.	Acquisition of Anhui Youle Fashion Hotel Management Co., Ltd. and Anhui Meibang Hotel Management Co., Ltd. (collectively "eJia Express")
	The Group and eJia Express entered into an equity transfer agreement in June 2012 under which the Group acquired 100% equity of eJia Express, whose primary assets included 13 leased-and-operated hotels located in Anhui province of China. Accordingly, eJia Express has been consolidated by the Group since July 1, 2012. Total purchase price for this acquisition amounted to RMB 48,214. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill, intangible assets (favorable leases) and unfavorable lease liability amounting to RMB 41,970, RMB 6,748 and RMB 6,231, respectively.
	No significant contingencies were identified which should be valued. eJia Express contributed net revenues of RMB 13,472 and incurred net loss of RMB 11,180 from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
		c.	Acquisition of Anhui Shanghai Xurun Hotel Management Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Xurun")
	The Group and Shanghai Xurun entered into an equity transfer agreement in June 2012 under which the Group acquired 100% equity of Shanghai Xurun, whose primary assets included one leased-and-operated hotel. Accordingly, Shanghai Xurun has been consolidated by the Group since July 1, 2012. Total purchase price for this acquisition amounted to RMB 420. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill amounting to RMB 12,354.
	No significant contingencies were identified which should be valued. Shanghai Xurun contributed net revenues of RMB 2,745 and incurred net loss of RMB 759 from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
		d.	Acquisition of Shanghai Junxing Hotel Management Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Junxing")
	The Group and Shanghai Junxing entered into an equity transfer agreement in November 2012, under which Group acquired 100% equity of Shanghai Junxing, whose primary assets included one leased-and-operated hotel. Accordingly, Shanghai Junxing has been consolidated by the Group since November 1, 2012. Total purchase price for this acquisition amounted to RMB 0. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill and intangible assets (favorable leases) amounting to RMB 2,579 and RMB 2,907, respectively.
	No significant contingencies were identified which should be valued. Shanghai Junxing contributed net revenues of RMB 893 and incurred net loss of RMB 1,143 from November 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
	As if the above acquisitions entered into in 2012 (Refer to Note 6(b), 6(c), 6(d)) occurred on January 1, 2011, the net revenues, income from operations and net income that would contributed by the above acquisitions would not be significant to the Group.

	Depreciation expenses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were RMB 404,901, RMB 621,216 and RMB 699,981, respectively. The cost of property and equipment is stated net off accumulated impairment losses of RMB 19,823 and RMB 18,708 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.
	Included in leasehold improvements was accumulated capitalized interest of RMB 3,916 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.
	The Group evaluates long-lived assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Group determined to perform a two-step impairment analysis for those hotels which are in a loss position for the year ended December 31, 2013. In step one impairment analysis, the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets over their remaining estimated useful lives were based on certain assumptions, such as forecasts of future operating results, gross margin and expected future growth rates. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by the property and equipment were less than their carrying value, which required the step two impairment test. In the step two impairment analysis, the Group estimated the fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis using market participants’ assumptions, such as forecasts of future operating results, discount rates commensurate with the risk involved, and expected future growth rates. The carrying value of the property and equipment was reduced to fair value based on the discounted cash flow analysis. This resulted in an impairment charge of RMB 1,705, RMB 12,641, and RMB 621 recorded in the impairment loss on property and equipment as operating costs for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Although assumptions used in estimates of future cash flows are management best estimates, such assumptions are, by nature, highly judgmental and may vary significantly from actual results.

	Franchise agreements, and favorable and unfavorable leases agreements were acquired primarily from the acquisition of Top Star hotel chain, the purchase of minority interests in Home Inns Beijing and the acquisition of Motel 168. The value of the favorable lease agreements was determined based on the estimated present value of the amount the company has avoided paying as a result of entering into the lease agreements. Unfavorable lease agreements were determined based on the estimated present value of the acquired leases that exceed market prices and is recognized as a liability. Franchise agreements were determined at the estimated present value of net cash flows expected to be received over the remaining terms of the franchise agreements. The value of favorable and unfavorable lease agreements is amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term and the amortization is recorded as operating costs at net. The value of franchise agreements is amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining terms of the franchise agreements.
	Amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 amounted to RMB 16,828, RMB 45,096 and RMB 47,422, respectively. Amortization expense of unfavorable lease agreements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 amounted to RMB 9,045, RMB 32,457 and RMB 32,921 respectively.

	On September 26, 2011, the Group entered into a senior secured credit facility under which the Group can borrow up to USD 240 million. The proceeds of the borrowing should only be used for the acquisition of Motel 168. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had drawn down the full amount of the credit facility.
	The interest rate of this U.S. dollar-denominated term loan (the “Term Loan”) was LIBOR plus 3.90% and total upfront fee was RMB 91,617. The Term Loan was due for repayment in September 2015. The upfront fee was amortized and recorded as interest expenses during the Term Loan period in four years. The Company repaid US$ 123 million in the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The Company completed the refinancing of its Term Loan on June 28, 2013. The outstanding balance of the Term Loan was US$117 million at the time of refinancing. The new U.S. dollar-denominated loan facility of US$117 million, due in June 2016, was sourced from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Europe) S.A. (the “ICBC Loan”) with an annual rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 2.35%. As a condition of the loans, the Company also entered into an irrevocable Standby Letters of Credit with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Shanghai Branch covering an aggregate of RMB 777.2 million (US$128.4 million) at an annual fixed rate of 0.60%. Under the terms of the loan agreements, the Company may be required to provide further guarantees or repay a portion of the loans if the Renminbi depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar beyond US$1.00 to RMB 6.2769 such that the Renminbi amount of our RMB 777.2 million (US$128.4 million) Standby Letters of Credit with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Shanghai Branch, if expressed in U.S. dollars, would be less than the U.S. dollar amount of principal and interest payable over the remaining life of the loans. The outstanding balance of the ICBC Loan was RMB 713.3 million (US$117.8 million) as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company assessed it would not be required to provide further guarantees or repay a portion of the loans as the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar exchange rate was below 6.2769 as of December 31, 2013.
	Upon extinguishment of the Term Loan, the unamortized issuance cost of RMB 41,872 was recognized currently as accelerated fee amortization on early extinguishment of Term Loan and disclosed separately in the statements of operations in 2013. The interest rate swap contracts associated with the Term Loan were terminated. The guarantee fee of RMB 4.3 million related to ICBC Loan paid one year in advance was reflected in prepayments and other current assets, which would be deferred and amortized over one year.
	The weighted average interest rate for the borrowings was 4.43% and 3.47% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES [Abstract]	'
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES	'
	12.  FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
	The financial liabilities consist of convertible notes and interest rate swap transaction.
	(a) Convertible notes measured at fair value
	The Company issued USD 184 million of convertible notes (including USD 24 million covering 30-day over-allotment option) on December 21, 2010 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on December 15, 2015. The interest rate is 2% per annum payable semi-annually, in arrears. Holders have the option to convert their Notes from the earlier of (i) when the registration statement becomes effective; and (ii) the first anniversary of the date on which the Notes are first issued, through to and including the business day prior to the maturity date into ADSs representing the ordinary shares initially at a conversion rate of 20.2560 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$ 49.37 per ADS). No accrued interest to be paid on the Notes when they are converted.
	The conversion rate is subject to change on anti-dilution and upon certain fundamental changes. Fundamental changes are defined as 1) any “person” or “group” beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Company's shares or has the power to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors; 2) Company consolidates with, or merge with or into, another person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company; 3) Termination of trading of Company’s ADSs; and 4) adoption of a plan relating to our liquidation or dissolution.
	The holder has the option to require the Company to repurchase the Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a fundamental change for an amount equal to the 100% of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest in the event of fundamental changes. Management assessed that the likelihood of fundamental change is remote.
	While the Notes remain outstanding, the Company or its subsidiaries will not create or permit to subsist any security upon its property, assets or revenues (present or future) to secure any international investment securities or to secure any guarantee of or indemnity of any international investment securities unless the obligations under the notes and the indenture (a) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (b) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
	The registration rights granted under the convertible notes agreement are: (i) demand registration rights, (ii) piggyback registration rights, and (iii) Form F-3 registration rights. The Company is required to use its best effort to cause a shelf registration statement to become effective within 210 days after the original issuance of the Notes with respect to register re-sales of the Notes and the issuance of ordinary shares (represented by ADSs) issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Company will be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum for the first year, subject to some limitations, to the holders of the notes if it fails to comply with the obligations to register the Notes and ordinary shares represented by ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes or the registration statement does not become effective within the specified time periods. The Form F-3 was filed on May 18, 2011. As of December 31, 2013, management assessed that the likelihood of the Company having to make any additional interest payments under the arrangement is remote.
	The Company has RMB as its functional currency, and the Notes are denominated in USD. As a result, the conversion feature is dual indexed to the Company’s stock as well as the RMB and USD exchange rate, and is considered an embedded derivative which needs to be bifurcated from the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815.
	ASC 815-15-25 provides that if an entity has a hybrid financial instrument that would require bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815, the entity may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value election can be made instrument by instrument and shall be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy for automatic election.
	The Company elected to measure the Notes in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as non-operating income or loss at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. Further, as the functional currency of the Company is RMB, the fair value of the Notes is translated into RMB at each balance sheet date with the difference being reported as exchange gain or loss. In addition, all issuance costs associated with the Notes offering have been expensed as incurred in the year ended December 31, 2010.
	Fair value of the Notes is determined using the binomial model, one of the option pricing methods. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgment and the Company’s best estimates of the probability of occurrence of future events, such as fundamental changes, on the valuation date. Under the binomial valuation model, the Group uses a weighted risk-free and risk interest rate (the combination of the risk free rate plus the credit spread for the underlying Notes) weighted by the probability of conversion as internally solved out by binomial model in discounting its cash flows. The main inputs to this model include the underlying share price, the expected share volatility, the expected dividend yield, the risk free and risk interest rate.
	The estimated fair value of financial liability amounted to approximately RMB 1,056,209 (US$ 169,533) and RMB 1,157,295 (US$ 191,172) as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. In the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company recorded foreign exchange gain of RMB 57,337, RMB 2,583 and RMB 32,318, and a gain/(loss) from fair value change of RMB 198,547, RMB (87,099) and RMB (133,404), respectively.
	(b) Interest rate swap transaction
	In connection with the acquisition of Motel 168, the Company entered into a US$ 240 million US dollar denominated, 4-year term loan. This term loan carries floating interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.9%. The Company entered into an interest rate swap contract on November 28, 2011 and updated the interest rate swap contract on 31 July, 2012. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contract at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 was US$180 million and US$93 million due to the repayment of term loans during the year, and the fixed interest rate was 1.13%. The floating rate was with reference to three-month US dollar LIBOR.
	The Company accounted for this derivative financial instrument at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company performs valuation of the derivative at each balance sheet date and records the change in fair value as non-operating income or loss.
	Fair value of the financial liabilities is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Under this method, the value of the interest rate swap equals to the present value of the net position of its future cash flows as of each settlement date. The net position of the future cash flows as of each settlement date is determined by comparing the projected fixed cash outflows with the projected variable cash inflows. The projected fixed cash outflows are calculated based on the fixed interest rate established upon consummation of the initial swap contract. The projected variable cash inflows are calculated based on the estimated swap yield curve as of the measurement date, in respect that the interest rates swap is a fix-for-floating swap from the Company’s perspective. The net position of the future cash flows is then discounted by using the estimated swap yield curve rates.
	In June 2013, the Company completed the refinancing of its term loan (Note 11), and the interest rate swap contracts associated with the Term Loan were terminated.
	In the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, total loss/(gain) as a result of fair value measurement is approximately RMB 7,315, RMB 6,665 and RMB (912). For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company made cash settlement of RMB 3,418 and RMB 9,650, respectively, for purpose of reducing the principal amount that is associated with the interest rate swap arrangement due to the repayment of term loans during the years.

	(a) Share options of the Company
	On February 28, 2003, the Company adopted a share option plan (“2003 Option Plan”) under which the directors of the Company may, at their discretion, grant options to acquire ordinary shares to any senior executives (including directors) and employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. Share options vest annually over a period of 4 years and once vested can be exercised within 5 years from the date of grant. The 2003 Option Plan provides for the issuance of options of the Company’s ordinary shares in the amount of up to 5% of total ordinary and preferred shares outstanding. On May 30, 2005, the Company adopted a board resolution to increase shares reserved under the share option plan to 6% of total ordinary and preferred shares outstanding. On March 30, 2006, the Company adopted a shareholder resolution to increase shares reserved for the share options plan to 9% of total ordinary and preferred shares outstanding. This represented 4,784,226 options based on the then outstanding ordinary shares, which have been fully issued.
	On October 2, 2006, the Company adopted a share incentive plan (“2006 Share Incentive Plan”) under which the directors of the Company may, at their discretion, grant awards to employees and directors of the Company or any of our related entities, which include our subsidiaries or any entities in which the Company holds a substantial ownership interest. Such awards include 1) share options; 2) restricted shares, which represent non-transferable ordinary shares, that may be subject to forfeiture; 3) restricted share units, which represent the right to receive the Company’s ordinary shares at a specified date in the future, which may be subject to forfeiture; 4) share appreciation rights, which provide for payment to the grantee based upon increases in the price of our ordinary shares over a set base price; and 5) dividend equivalent right, which represent the value of the dividends per share that the Company pay. The term of an award shall not exceed 10 years from the date of the grant, except that 10 years is the maximum term of share option granted. The term of each award will be stated in the award agreement. According to the annual general meetings on November 3, 2009 and September 15, 2011, the shareholders approved increases in the number of ordinary shares that may be granted under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2013, the maximum number of ordinary shares permitted to be issued pursuant to awards under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan is up to 15,062,194 options. The 2006 Share Incentive Plan will expire in 2016. The characteristics of the awards granted during 2006 under this plan are similar to the awards granted under the 2003 Option Plan.
	On February 24, 2011 and November 9, 2011, the Company granted 1,919,000 and 317,000 share options to its employees under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan, which had a fair value of US$ 8.0297 and US$ 7.4567 per option, respectively.
	On February 15, 2012, March 1, 2012, March 12, 2012 and November 26, 2012, the Company granted 40,000, 18,000, 433,250 and 6,000 share options to its employees under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan, which had a fair value of US$7.1999, US$ 7.2419, US$ 6.3474 and US$5.2423 per option, respectively.
	On January 1, 2013, April 15, 2013, June 8, 2013, June 17, 2013 and October 21, 2013, the Company granted 24,000, 420,750, 9,000, 12,000 and 6,000 share options to its employees under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan, which had a fair value of US$ 5.8901, US$ 4.4827, US$ 5.0809, US$ 4.9788 and US$ 6.0855 per option, respectively.

							3,572,596				1,377,738
	In connection with the share options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of RMB 76,535, RMB 79,084 and RMB 56,264, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there was RMB 56,106 of unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to unvested share options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.94 years.
	The Company calculated the estimated fair value of share options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
				2011			2012		2013
	Risk-free interest rate(1)			0.5128% to 1.4348%			0.4418% to 0.5960%		0.4218% to 0.7875%
Expected life (years) (2)			3.41 to 3.56			3.55 to 3.56		3.42 to 3.55
Expected dividend yield(3)			-			-		-
Expected Volatility (4)			67.01% to 69.38%			56.50% to 66.08%		44.65% to 55.24%
	-1	The risk-free interest rates are based on the US Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the time of grant.
	-2	The expected life of share options is based on historical exercise patterns, for options granted since 2009 which the Company has historical data of and believes are representative of future behavior.
	-3	The Company has no history or expectation of paying dividends on its ordinary shares.
	-4	For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company estimated the volatility of its ordinary shares at the date of grant based on the historical volatility and implied volatility of comparable companies and itself for a period equal to time from the grant date to the assumed exercised date of the respective options in accordance with the vesting schedule. Since 2011, expected volatility is estimated based on the Company's historical volatility for a period equivalent to the expected term preceding the grant date.
(b) Restricted share units of the Company
In 2012 and 2013, the Company granted 1,055,940 and 956,526 restricted share units (“RSU”) to employees, respectively, under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan, which vest annually over a period of 4 years since grant date.
The total share-based compensation cost amounted to RMB 13,828 and RMB 28,193 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2013. As of December 31, 2013, there was RMB 102,846 unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested restricted shares, which are to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 2.93 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost may be adjusted for further changes in estimated forfeitures.
The following summarizes the Company’s RSU activities as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013:

(c) Share options of the Yitel
In July 2012, the Board of Directors of Yitel Hotel Management (Hong Kong) Limited (“Yitel”) passed a resolution to adopt Stock Option Plan (“the Yitel Option Plan”) that provides for the granting of options to key employees of Yitel to acquire ordinary shares of Yitel at a US$ 0.1 exercise price as determined by the Administrator or the Board at the time of grant. Upon this resolution, the Board of Directors and shareholders authorized and reserved 14,862,000 ordinary shares for the issuance under the Yitel Option Plan. In 2012 and 2013, the Board of Directors of Yitel passed resolutions to increase in the number of ordinary shares that may be granted under the Yitel Option Plan. As of December 31, 2013, the maximum number of ordinary shares permitted to be issued pursuant to awards under the Yitel Option Plan is up to 34,411,765 options.
On July 1, 2012, January 1, 2013, June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, Yitel granted 10,308,000, 1,610,000, 8,768,000 and 2,856,000 share options to its employees under the Yitel Option Plan, which had a fair value of US$ 0.05, US$ 0.05, US$ 0.06 and US$ 0.06 per option, respectively.

Yitel granted the share options containing an exercise price denominated in US$, which is not the functional currency of Yitel. Thus, those share options are accounted for as liability awards that are remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Total compensation cost in connection with Yitel hotel’s options was RMB 464 and RMB 1,558 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 respectively. Total liability balance associated with the awards, which was recorded as other liability, was RMB 464 and RMB 2,022 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013. There was no income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for share-based compensation plans in the year ended December 31, 2013.
Under ASC 718, Yitel calculated the estimated fair value of the liability awards at December 31, 2012 and 2013 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
		As at December 31, 2012			As at December 31, 2013
Risk-free interest rate (per annum)			0.75% to 1.11%			1.39% to 2.45%
Expected life (years)			5.00 to 6.50			4.25 to 7.00
Expected dividend yield (%)			-			-
Expected volatility (%)			46% to 54%			49% to 53%
Fair value per ordinary share (US$)			0.11			0.13
Yitel estimated the expected volatility at the date of grant based on average annualized standard deviation of the share price of comparable listed companies. Yitel has no history or expectation of paying dividends on its ordinary shares. Yitel estimated the expected life based on the timing of the expected public offering, the vesting schedule and the exercise period of the options. Risk-free interest rates are based on the derived market yield of the US$ denominated Chinese Government bonds for the term approximating the expected life of award at the time of grant.

PRINCIPAL_ACCOUNTING_POLICIES_

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
Basis of presentation and use of estimates	'
	a. Basis of presentation and use of estimates
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s financial statements mainly include assumptions used in the computation of share-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, assumption of redemption rate utilized in customer loyalty program, assumptions and inputs used in fair value measurement of financial liabilities, assumptions used to measure impairment of long-lived assets, intangible asset with indefinite life and goodwill, useful lives of long-lived assets, determination of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired through business combinations, recognition of non-controlling interests, and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Such accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB 95.2 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s credit facilities was RMB 850 million and these facilities are available to be drawn down if needed. The Group believes that by closely monitoring and appropriately allocating its cash resources, together with drawing down the above credit facilitates, if needed, it is able to maintain a sufficient cash position and liquidity status in the foreseeable future.
Basis of consolidation and accounting for investments	'
	b. Basis of consolidation and accounting for investments
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
	A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
	Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, which provides guidance on the identification of and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests, which requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity.
	The Company evaluates its business relationships such as those with franchisees to identify potential variable interest entities. Generally, these businesses qualify for the business scope exception under the consolidation guidance. Therefore, the Company has concluded that consolidation of any such entities is not appropriate for the periods.
Foreign currencies	'
	c. Foreign currencies
	The Group’s functional currency and reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China foreign exchange trading system market.
Convenience translation	'
	d. Convenience translation
	Translations of balances in the statements of operations, balance sheet and statement of cash flows from RMB into United States dollars (“US$”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$ 1.00 =MB 6.0537, on December 31, 2013, representing the certificated exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2013, or at any other rate.
Cash and cash equivalents	'
	e. Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and liquid investment which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less that are placed with banks or other financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2012 included US$ 41,524 thousand and HK$ 0.1 thousand. Cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2013 included US$ 42,256 thousand and HK$ 0.1 thousand.
Restricted cash	'
	f. Restricted cash
	Restricted cash consists of cash proceeds from the exercise of share options by the Company’s employees which are yet to be transmitted to them, cash deposited in an escrow account for the settlement of the outstanding purchase consideration of Motel 168 acquisition, and cash reserved in specific interests reserve account (“IRA”) for term loans which was repaid in June 2013 with the early extinguishment of term loans.
Allowance for doubtful accounts	'
	g. Allowance for doubtful accounts
	Provision is made against receivables to the extent collection is considered to be doubtful. Accounts receivable and other receivables in the balance sheet are stated net of such provision, if any. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, the allowance for doubtful accounts was nil and RMB 1,558, respectively.
Consumables	'
	h. Consumables
	The Group purchases consumables for the operation of leased-and-operated hotels. Consumables include fabrics, such as towels and beddings, which need to be renewed periodically. Consumables are amortized over their useful lives, generally one year or less, from the time they are put into use and are stated at purchase price less accumulated amortization.
Property and equipment, net	'
	i. Property and equipment, net
	Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs, including interest cost during the period the asset is brought to its working condition and location for its intended use.
	Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight line method over their expected useful lives. The expected useful lives are as follows:
	Buildings	40 years
	Leasehold improvements	Over the shorter of the economic useful life or the lease period
	Machinery and equipment	5 to 10 years
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	3 to 5 years
	Construction in progress represents leasehold improvements under construction or installation and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of property and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment and depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use.
	Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, if any, is recognized in the statements of operations as the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the underlying asset.
Fair value measurement	'
	j. Fair value measurement
	The Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair value measurements and disclosures” on January 1, 2008. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The guidance outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and the guidance details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
	The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
	Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the management has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are nor active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
	Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect the management’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The management develops these inputs based on the best information available, including their own data.
	The following table presents information about the Group’s financial liabilities classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
			Balance as of December 31, 2013
						Fair Value Measurements

	Total financial liability			1,067,235			-		-		1,067,235
	A summary of changes in Level 3 financial liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:
	Balance at December 31, 2012			1,067,235
	Add: Unrealized loss - change in fair value in convertible notes (note 12)			133,404
	Add: compensation cost in connection with Yitel hotel’s options (note 14(c))			1,558
	Less: Foreign exchange gains in convertible notes (note 12)			(32,318	)
	Less: Gain arising from change in fair value in interest rate swap transaction (note 12)			(912	)
	Less: Cash settlement of swap transaction (note 12)			(9,650	)
	Balance at December 31, 2013			1,159,317
Fair value of financial instruments	'
	k. Fair value of financial instruments
	The following table presents information about the composition of the Group’s financial instruments and the relevant fair value considerations.
	Items		Fair value consideration
	Cash and cash equivalents		Carrying values of these items approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
	Restricted cash
	Receivables
	Payables
	Accruals
	Term loans		The carrying values of term loans approximate their fair values as all the borrowings carry variable interest rates which approximate rates currently offered by the Group's bankers for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.
	Financial liability		Fair value of financial liability associated with the issuance of convertible notes in 2010 is measured using Level 3 inputs, which is measured using a binomial model. Fair value of the financial liability associated with the interest rate swap transaction in 2011 is measured using level 3 inputs, which is measured using the discounted cash flow method (Refer to Note 12).
Business combinations	'
	l. Business combinations
	U.S. GAAP requires that business combinations be accounted for under the acquisition purchase method. From January 1, 2009, the Group adopted ASC805 “Business Combinations”. Following this adoption, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the entity acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statements of operations.
	The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although we believe that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material.
Jointly controlled entity	'
	m. Jointly controlled entity
	Investment in a jointly controlled entity is accounted for by the equity method of accounting as the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest. Under this method, the Group’s income (loss) from investment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and the jointly controlled entity are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the jointly controlled entity, if any; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Group’s share of losses in the jointly controlled entity equals or exceeds its interest in the jointly controlled entity, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the jointly controlled entity.
	The Group reviews its investment in the jointly controlled entity to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other than temporary at period end. The primary factors the Group considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Group’s carrying value and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, the Group considers the reason for the decline in fair value, including general market conditions, industry-specific or investee-specific reasons, and changes in valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date and the Group’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the security is written down to fair value. There were no impairment losses for its investment in the jointly controlled entity in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Goodwill	'
	n. Goodwill
	Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and other (Topic350), since 2012, which gives the Group an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is then tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill.
	Management performs a goodwill impairment assessment under one single reporting unit. They assess qualitative factors firstly by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Management determines that quoted market price (the Home Inns stock price) is the best evidence of fair value and uses it as the basis of the fair value measurement (in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-22). As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the market capitalization of Home Inns well exceeded the carrying amount of the reporting unit. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Intangible assets, net	'
	o. Intangible assets, net
	Intangible assets consist primarily of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and software purchased from third parties. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Intangible assets, including brand, favorable lease agreements and certain franchise agreements existing as of the date of acquisition, are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition.
	Except brand, intangible assets arising from business combinations are amortized on a straight-line base over the remaining operating lease term, the franchise agreement term, or estimated life of customer relationship. The estimated useful lives of amortized intangibles are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the useful lives have changed.
	The trademarked Motel 168 brand was registered in PRC China with remaining legal life of 5 years and can be renewed with minimal costs. Motel 168 is a well-recognized brand in the economy hotel industry in PRC China. The useful life of the brand is indefinite. The Group evaluates indefinite-lived intangible asset each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, the asset is tested for impairment. ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” provides that intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment.
	Purchased software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any, and is amortized on the straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
	No impairment of intangible assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Impairment of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets	'
	p. Impairment of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets
	Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets and significant negative industry or economic trends. Impairments are recognized based on the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value in the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flow attributed to such assets. Fair value is generally measured based on either quoted market prices, if available, or discounted cash flow analyses. Additionally, determining fair values requires probability weighting the cash flows to reflect expectations about possible variations in their amounts or timing and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Although cash flow estimates are based on relevant information available at the time the estimates are made, estimates of future cash flows are, by nature, highly uncertain and may vary significantly from actual results. Any write-downs would be treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amounts of the assets and an operating loss would be recognized. The impairment losses on property and equipment recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were RMB 1,705, RMB 12,641 and RMB 621, respectively.
Employee benefits	'
	q. Employee benefits
	The employees of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, unemployment insurance and pension benefits. These entities are required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations and make contributions to the government-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. Employee benefits expense was RMB 180,145, RMB 215,251 and RMB 230,331 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Amounts accrued and included in salaries and welfare payable and other unpaid and accruals in the balance sheets were RMB 11,913 and RMB 10,060 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Accruals for customer reward program	'
	r. Accruals for customer reward program
	The Group invites its customers to participate in a customer reward program. Prior to November 14, 2004, membership was free of charge. A one-time membership fee was charged after that date for new members. Members enjoy discounts on room rates, priority in hotel reservation, and accumulate membership points for their paid stays, which can be redeemed for membership upgrades, room night awards and other gifts. The estimated incremental costs to provide membership upgrades, room night awards and other gifts are accrued and recorded as accruals for customer reward program as members accumulate points and recognized as sales and marketing expenses in the statements of operations. As members redeem awards or their entitlements expire, the provision is reduced correspondingly.
	After the acquisition of Motel 168, the terms under the Motel 168’s customer reward program have been updated to conform to that of Home Inns’ customer reward program.
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the accruals for customer reward program amounted to RMB 5,499 and RMB 21,811, respectively. The expenses for the customer rewards program were (reversed) / recognized by RMB (16,307), RMB 289, and RMB 16,312 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
	The Group estimates the liabilities under the customer rewards program based on accumulated membership points and the estimate of probability of redemption in accordance with the historical redemption pattern. If actual redemption differs significantly from their estimate, it will result in an adjustment to the liability and the corresponding expenses.
Deferred Revenue	'
	s. Deferred Revenue
	Deferred revenue generally consists of advances received from customers for room stays, initial franchise fees received prior to the Group fulfilling its commitments to the franchisee, and cash received from sale of membership programs. Non-current portion of deferred revenue represents cash received from initial franchise fees and sales of membership program, which is recognized after one year from the balance sheet date.
Revenue recognition	'
	t. Revenue recognition
	Revenues from leased-and-operated hotels represent primarily room rentals and food and beverage sales from the leased-and-operated hotels. Such revenues are recognized when goods are delivered and services are provided.
	Revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels are derived from franchise agreements where the franchisees are required to pay (i) an initial franchise fee and (ii) on-going management and service fees based on a percentage of revenue which approximates 3% to 6% of the room revenues of the franchised hotels. The franchise fee is an initial one-time fee. For the franchise agreements signed under Home Inns brand, Yitel brand and Motel 168 brand after its acquisition by the Group, the franchise fee is recognized as revenue when the franchised hotel opens for business, becomes non-refundable, and the Group has fulfilled all its commitments and obligations including the assistance to the franchisees in property design, leasehold improvement construction project management, systems installation, personnel recruiting and training. For the franchise agreements signed under Motel 168 brand prior to its acquisition by the Group, the franchise fee is recorded as deferred revenue when cash is received and recognized as revenue during the franchising period which usually is 5 years as the franchisees have the refund right which elapses proportionally within 5 years. On-going management and service fees are recognized when the underlying service revenue is recognized by the franchisees’ operations. Other revenues generated from franchise agreements include system maintenance and support fee and central reservation system usage fee, which are recognized when services are provided.
	Prior to the second quarter of 2011, revenue from one-time membership fees was deferred when received and was recognized when membership records showed no activity after a year. With sufficient historical information and accumulative knowledge on membership activity pattern, the Group estimated that average life of memberships is approximately two years. Therefore, the change in accounting estimate is applied prospectively, and revenue from one-time membership fees has been recognized over two years on a straight line basis since April 1, 2011. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recognized revenue of RMB 79,367, RMB 172,148 and RMB 178,822 from one-time membership fees, respectively.
	The Group continues to monitor the membership activity pattern and reassess average life of memberships at each period end to ensure estimate of revenue recognition period is reasonable.
Business tax and related surcharge	'
	u. Business tax and related surcharge
	The Group is subject to business tax and related surcharges on the services provided in the PRC. Such tax is levied based on turnover at a total approximate rate of 5.6% and is recorded as a reduction of revenues.
Leased-and-operated hotel costs	'
	v. Leased-and-operated hotel costs
	Leased-and-operated hotel costs include all direct costs incurred in the operation of the leased-and-operated hotels and consist primarily of property rentals and related expenses, utility costs, personnel compensation, amortization of guest room consumables, amortization of leasehold improvements, depreciation of equipment, consumables, food and beverage costs.
Sales and marketing expenses	'
	w. Sales and marketing expenses
	Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising related expenses, expenses associated with the Group’s membership reward program, payroll and related compensation for the Group’s sales and marketing personnel and entertainment expenses relating to marketing activities. Advertising related expenses, including promotion expenses and production costs of marketing materials, are charged to the statements of operations as incurred and amounted to RMB 21,944, RMB 24,068 and RMB 29,221 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Share-based compensation	'
	x. Share-based compensation
	The Group accounts for share-based compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. It requires the Group to measure at the grant date the fair value of the stock-based award and recognize compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The Group uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The requisite service period is the vesting period, which is generally 4 years. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	A subsidiary of the Company grants share options which contained an exercise price denominated in US$. The Group determined it should account for the U.S. dollar denominated share options granted to employees and directors of the subsidiary as liability awards as the Company’s functional currency is RMB and the underlying shares denominated in U.S. dollar has not been publicly traded. All grants of share-based awards to employees and directors classified as liability are remeasured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period expense in order to properly reflect the cumulative expense based on the current fair value of the vested rewards over the vesting periods.
Leases	'
	y. Leases
	The Company leases certain property and equipment.
	Leases of property and equipment are classified as operating leases when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease.
	Leases of property and equipment are classified as finance leases when the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in finance lease liabilities. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the statements of operations over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the lease term if the lease does not meet the transfer of ownership criterion or the bargain purchase option criterion. If the lease meets either the transfer of ownership criterion or the bargain purchase option criterion, then the related assets are depreciated over the useful life of the assets.
	Fixed assets capitalized under finance leases are depreciated in accordance with the Group’s policy for the depreciation of fixed assets.
Borrowing costs	'
	z. Borrowing costs
	Interests incurred in connection with term loan used for acquisition of Motel 168 are expensed as incurred. The upfront fee incurred in connection with the term loan are amortized and recorded as interest expenses over the loan period (Refer to Note 11).
	Interest cost incurred on funds used to construct leasehold improvements during the active construction period is capitalized. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, there was no capitalized interest cost.
Pre-operating expenditure	'
	aa. Pre-operating expenditure
	Pre-operating expenditure represents start-up costs, other than amounts capitalized as leasehold improvements, for leased-and-operated hotels are charged to the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which it is incurred.
Taxation	'
	ab. Taxation
	The provision for income taxes is based on the income and expense amounts recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. Income tax expenses are recorded using the liability method. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized and measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
	In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. For the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, there were no uncertain tax positions.
Non-operating income	'
	ac. Non-operating income
	Other non-operating income primarily consists of financial subsidies received from provincial and local governments for operating a business in their jurisdictions and compliance with specific policies promoted by the local governments. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group received financial subsidies of RMB 22,356, RMB 43,248 and RMB 52,751, respectively, from various local PRC government authorities. There are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to receive such benefits, and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. Such amounts are recorded as other non-operating income when received as there is no additional condition attached to the subsidies.
Statutory reserves	'
	ad. Statutory reserves
	The Group’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are required to set aside 10% of their net income, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, and before profit distributions to the investors, as reported in its statutory accounts on an annual basis to the Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund. Once the total Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of the respective subsidiaries, further appropriations are discretionary. The Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund can be used to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses of the respective companies under PRC regulations. The Group’s Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund is not distributable to shareholders except in the event of liquidation.
	Appropriations to the Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund are accounted for as a transfer from retained earnings to statutory reserves. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group made total appropriations to these statutory reserves of RMB 31,749, RMB 32,695 and RMB 48,475, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Group made a reversal of RMB 141 from the statutory reserve due to disposal of a subsidiary.
Dividends	'
	ae. Dividends
	Dividends are recognized when declared. The Group has not declared or paid any dividends to its shareholders except for the noncontrolling interests.
	Current PRC regulations permit PRC companies to pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries can only distribute dividends after they have met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves (Note 2(ad)). Restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries not distributable in the form of dividends to the parent as a result of the aforesaid PRC regulations were RMB 3,461,710 as of December 31, 2013. In addition to the typical statutory reserves of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, the restricted net assets also include RMB 3,254,818 paid in capital.
Earnings per share	'
	af. Earnings per share
	In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The Company’s convertible bonds issued in 2007 and convertible notes issued in 2010 are not participating securities because the terms of the agreements do not provide any participating rights to the holders before conversion. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the monetary effect of instruments that are dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible bonds and convertible notes (using the if-converted method) the vesting of restricted stock and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options (using the treasury stock method).
Segment reporting	'
	ag. Segment reporting
	The Company follows “Disclosures about Segment of an Enterprise and Related Information” for its segment reporting. The Group operates and manages its business as a single segment. The Company’s chief operation decision-maker (“CODM”) reviews operating results to make decision about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire company.
	The Group primarily generates its revenues from customers in the PRC, and assets of the Group are also located in PRC. Accordingly, no geographical segments are presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements	'
	ah. Recent accounting pronouncements
	In February of 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to provide information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income (for example, where amounts are reclassified to inventory), an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the amendments are effective with prospective application for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2013, and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In March of 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. The amendments in the ASU clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward, except as noted in the following sentence. To the extent a net operating loss, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such a purpose, then under this exception the unrecognized tax benefit is to be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with (netted with) the deferred tax asset(s). The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is “available” is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset amounts that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a materially impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Certain risks and concentration	'
	ai. Certain risks and concentration
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, substantially all of the Company’s cash was held in major financial institutions located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States of America, which management considers being of high credit quality. China does not have an official deposit insurance program, nor does it have an agency similar to The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States. However, the Group believes that the risk of failure of any of these PRC banks is remote. Bank failure is extremely uncommon in China and the Group believes that those Chinese banks that hold the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and long term time deposit are financially sound based on public available information.
	Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized and are denominated in RMB, and are derived from revenues earned from operations arising in the PRC.
	No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2013.
Commitments and Contingencies	'
	aj. Commitments and Contingencies
	Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

[1]	The Company has no history or expectation of paying dividends on its ordinary shares.
[2]	The risk-free interest rates are based on the US Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the time of grant.
[3]	The expected life of share options is based on historical exercise patterns, for options granted since 2009 which the Company has historical data of and believes are representative of future behavior.
[4]	For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company estimated the volatility of its ordinary shares at the date of grant based on the historical volatility and implied volatility of comparable companies and itself for a period equal to time from the grant date to the assumed exercised date of the respective options in accordance with the vesting schedule. Since 2011, expected volatility is estimated based on the Company's historical volatility for a period equivalent to the expected term preceding the grant date.
