The scenery was first-rate, but the hygiene was second-rate, the facilities third-rate, the food fourth-rate, and the service was just so-so.
Before coming, I read reviews and had expectations that the service and facilities wouldn't be great. However, everything exceeded my expectations.
First of all, the scenery was absolutely stunning, far better than we anticipated.
The hygiene and facilities were acceptable for a small, undeveloped hotel, but for a "luxury" hotel costing nearly 6000 yuan, it was just laughable. Indeed, as some reviews mentioned, suitcases couldn't even be opened.
The food was about 30 yuan per person, like a group meal. Frozen meatballs with fatty, inedible slices of meat, and of course, flies as a side dish, as shown in the picture.
The worst part was the service—not zero points, but negative points!
First, upon check-in, they made me drive up the mountain myself, but there weren't any parking spaces. All the cars were occupied by tourists coming for afternoon tea; there was no priority for guests, and no parking spaces at all. After finding a parking space, there was no guidance whatsoever; I had to drag my suitcase along a dirt road to check in.
Then, regarding the activity, I was first told via WeChat that there was some kind of "fireside tea ceremony" at 4 PM. I confirmed it was 4 PM when I checked in. When I arrived, there were several musicians and a group of guests waiting in a low yurt. The musicians seemed fine and even enthusiastically poured milk tea. However, they appeared to be waiting for some guests. The group of guests next to me kept coughing and didn't say what time it would start. They were preparing to leave at 4:30 PM. At 4:30 PM, I received a notification from the housekeeper saying that the fireside tea ceremony required a reservation. They hadn't mentioned a reservation at all, even though I had asked several times. So, the delay was because I hadn't made a reservation, and they were just waiting for me to leave?
The funniest thing is that after I complained to the housekeeper about these things, someone actually came, banged on my door, came in, apologized profusely, and asked me what had happened and if I could explain. I was speechless.
Then something even more outrageous happened. Since a reservation was required, I specifically asked the housekeeper if dinner required one, and they decisively said no. And guess what happened when we got there? There were only a few tables occupied, but they told us there was only one small square table left, and the others were all reserved. I was really grateful to the butler. Of course, they also put together a table for me on the spot, thank you to them too!
This butler was truly terrible.
In short, if you're only here for the view, no matter how expensive, go for it. Be prepared to be mistreated by the service. Also, I noticed that most of the negative reviews seem to be from people in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area. Maybe we're used to being pampered by nice hotels, sorry, haha.
Cleanliness: Average, the dishes and chopsticks were all wet.
