I really can't give a good review. I almost never review on Ctrip, but this time I was genuinely pushed to the limit.
1. **Overpriced room, poor experience.**
We booked the 'Exploration Realm 270-degree View Room'. Due to the season, the trees on three sides were bare, offering virtually no view, just a distant glimpse of mountains.
More critically, there was absolutely no privacy. The windows directly faced other guest rooms, so guests could see each other coming and going.
We stayed on the second floor of a two-story villa. The floor was low, and the indoor ventilation was terrible. There was an odd smell as soon as we entered, and the room was stuffy, making for a very uncomfortable night's sleep.
2. **Outdated facilities, poor user experience.**
The Xiaomi TV was small and laggy; screen mirroring often froze and required a restart to work. The wardrobe quality was questionable. The air conditioning was inconsistent, fluctuating between hot and cold at night. By the time we checked out, I had caught a cold and had a sore throat.
3. **Inadequate cleaning.**
Yesterday, my earring fell under the sofa. When I moved it, I found half a melted piece of candy underneath. While I can't blame housekeeping entirely, it was truly disgusting.
4. **Internal communication breakdown.**
Before check-in, I received a call asking about the number of guests, if we had pets, and requesting to add them on WeChat.
After I added them, I received another call the next day asking the exact same questions. Don't they communicate internally at all?
5. **Perfunctory breakfast, unreasonable dinner.**
The breakfast buffet had very limited options. What left a particularly bad impression was the bread section: the egg tarts had only solidified, watery egg custard inside when bitten into; the croissants and durian pastries were stale and crumbled easily.
If breakfast is like this, I'd rather they just offered a fixed-plate meal like other B&Bs; I wouldn't complain then. The dinner prices were high. For two of us, I ordered one cold dish, three hot dishes, and one soup. The portions were clearly too much, and we couldn't finish it.
The butler knew it was for two people and could have easily warned me I was ordering too much. The restaurant staff also reviewed the menu later and didn't mention anything either.
6. **Pest problem, the most unacceptable issue.**
I understand that bugs are inevitable in the mountains, but they should at least control them inside the room. Last night, I first found a stink bug. After contacting the butler, a staff member quickly came and removed it. I asked him to check thoroughly, and he said there were none before leaving. The hotel also sent some sweetened water as an apology, and I thought that would be the end of it.
However, two more stink bugs appeared that night, flying on the ceiling above the bed. I completely freaked out. After my husband caught them, I couldn't sleep all night, constantly feeling uncomfortable.
The next morning, when leaving, I saw another one in the corner of the room door, and then realized there was a gap at the bottom of the door, through which bugs could crawl in from outside. This isn't something that can be avoided by just closing windows, which is truly infuriating.
There are still too many areas for improvement. I'm afraid to say more lest the hotel improves too quickly. In summary: extremely poor value for money.
The only positive comment from this stay goes to a smartly dressed male server in the restaurant; he had a great attitude, attentive service, and spoke gently.
