「We had a great stay. Very friendly and welcoming. The food is really great. The room is very spacious with your own private garden. Overall it’s a very comfortable place to stay in the middle of a traditional village. Highly recommended!」
WWHUIn een woord, fantastisch! Heel mooi en schoon hotel, op 3 minuten lopen van de boveningang van Huangling -ancient villagepark gelegen, dus geen kabelbaan nodig om in het park te komen. Het hotel is met heel veel aandacht en liefde ingericht. Elke kamer is anders gedecoreerd en met heel veel details. De eigenaresse heeft echt talent voor interior design en verwerkt dit tot in de puntjes in de inrichting, zelfs de wc-bril is gedecoreerd. Maar bovendien is de eigenaresse, Zhan, echt heel aardig, attent en behulpzaam. Een schat! Zij bracht en haalde ons op in haar driewieler meerdere keren naar het park en de busstation beneden. Ze ging zelfs speciaal voor een paraplu voor mij op en neer de berg. Ongelofelijke service! We hebben aanvankelijk voor 1 nacht geboekt, maar we verbleven uiteindelijk 3 nachten, zozeer waardeerden wij het verblijf bij haar en de prachtige omgeving. Als je in Huangling wil verblijven, niet nodig om rond te kijken voor een ander hotel. Deze is de beste!!!
ゲゲストThis place is absolutely beautiful. The hotel owner is a gem, he went out of his way numerous times to make sure that my stay was perfect. He picked me up from the train station in a grand car for a very fair fare. He also helped me rent a bike and even dropped me off on a beautiful road to cycle along to. Without him.I would have not been able to experience the beautiful countryside riding a bike, which is something I recommemd to anyone visiting the region. The land is so peaceful and preserved and you can stop in small non commercialized villages along your bike ride.
Regarding my room, it was big, quiet, had an awesome view, the water temperature and pressure were adequate. It was also spotless clean and had a great sound system and projector screen. As for the location, the scenic area is just outside at the doorstep, but the hotel is very peaceful still. There is a nice Delonghi machine to make a good expresso in the morning. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and cozy. I don't speak Chinese but this was not a problem - with the translator apps everything was easy. I recommend this hotel to anyone coming to beautiful Wuyuan!!
ゲゲストDisappointing stay here. We had no choice but to extend our stay because it was Chinese new year and very difficult to find another place to stay and also my husband was sick so we had to change our plans and stay an extra night so he could rest.
The place smelled like smoke everywhere. We have a baby with us and wanted a smoke free place. Despite the signs in the lobby saying No Smoking, people were smoking there and the front desk people didn’t care. The towels in our room had ashes on them and smelled like smoke. They were also ripped and badly needed to be replaced. (We got a smoke free room and learned on our trip that all they do for smoke free rooms is open the windows to air it out before you arrive. 🤦🏻♀️)
There was insufficient toilet paper when we arrived and although they did provide more when we asked it was just inconvenient. The toilet paper holder was broken so we had to find somewhere else to put the roll of toilet paper. The sink leaked and it was supposed to be a dry washroom which is one of the reasons why I booked the place but turned out to be a wet washroom. Incredibly inconvenient with a baby.
The shower drainage was missing a cover and it didn’t feel safe for my child when showering because her little feet could get stuck inside it.
One of the days we needed to rest a little longer and the housekeeper asked us when we were leaving so she could clean our room. We said we needed 2 more hours (around 2pm) she kept trying to peer inside our room and said she wanted to get off work early. I found that incredibly rude. I understand it’s CNY and you want to go home early but that’s not something you should say to a guest who paid to stay at the hotel. Front desk people also did not seem friendly. Never saw any of them smile. We obviously don’t speak Chinese fluently and they laughed at us when they couldn’t understand us and wasn’t helpful in any way.
Overall, not a very pleasant stay. Would not stay here again.
AAnna Soot WoonWe came for a biking holiday. We stayed 4 nights. We left every morning on a different biking route. Lots of roads and villages.
We each had a guest room. I was disappointed that I had the smallest room but they thought I wanted to be on the same floor as my friends. They moved me to the 2nd floor and now I had the same HUGE place as my friends. In the sitting room, is an L-shaped couch. It pulls out as a bed. So I guess this room could fit up to 4 people. The shower is huge. There is plenty of space to wash our bikes. The sauna/hot air thing was great for drying our clothes too!
Had we been more people, we probably would have rented one of the bigger places and shared instead of getting our own guest rooms.
It's fairly quiet. Breakfast was served in a separate traditional building. Normal Chinese breakfast, but asked for the noodles with the fried eggs! The kitchen staff were very accommodating when we asked if we could have breakfast at 7 am. Also, we asked for a late check-out because we wanted to shower after our ride. They let each of us have our rooms till 4pm at no charge. It would be great if the stone tiles could be power washed as it was quite slippery when it rained.
I didn't have my driver's license but I needed to go pick up my friend and his broken bike. So I went back to ask the manager if he could drive our car 35 km to pick up my friend. He was happy to drive me!
The sign to the guest house was not installed but if you look for the castle-like building, you'll find it. It was tricky getting to the hotel because we arrived late and it was absolutely chucking down with rain.
This is a great, gorgeous place if you want peace and quiet. My room had a river view. Great for relaxation. Highly recommend this place.

The resort grows on you. I say resort as it's not a conventional hotel as such. Its designed and styled as a mosaic of accommodation types spread out amongst the large grounds, or Scenic Area, as its markted. This was confusing and after a long journey to reach the 'hotel', we had to first check in at a enormous building which is also the public entrance for day visitors to the resorts attractions. Our taxi from the station (which declined to use the meter, ¥20, dropped us on the main road and not at the entrance. Not great with our excessive luggage.
We were then transported on extended golf buggy style vehicles to what was the opposite end of the resort.
The accommodation was very comfortable and well designed. The only fault is the long walks to the facilities such as breakfast (in another hotels restaurant). That said, you can call for a buggy pick up.
On check in we were informed the large water park was not open until later in the season. Too cold apparently, despite being in the high 20c's.
A lit of the resort appears to be in state of construction with empty shells of buildings scattered about.
By the end of the 4 nights, we warmed up, literally, to the style of resort, the colourful scenery and facilities, those which were open.
It's a bit far put of the centre of Wuyuan, though there is nothing too exciting to see in the city centre.
