Great location, just a short walk to the beach from the back of the hotel. Very affordable and excellent value for money. The sea view room was also nice and quite cheap.

It's the perfect room with ocean view! The owner helped me with my luggage. You can also rent the surfboards here. It was clean and sooo comfortable. Outside there are beach bars but the music stops after 11 so you can sleep well with the ocean sounds.
Response from Property: 感謝您的滿分好評!很高興本次入住能讓您滿意,我們始終用心做好客房與服務。期待您下次出行再次選擇本店,祝您萬事順遂,旅途愉快~

Very run down. The room was nice, but the pool wasn't even full. I would probably just pay that bit extra and go next door
Response from Property: Dear Guest, we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience. We have received your feedback regarding the incomplete pool and outdated facilities. We have invited a designer to renovate the guesthouse and its overall environment this month. We look forward to your next visit and witnessing our improvements.

I already stayed here last night and left a review, and I'm staying here again today. The beach is right downstairs, and it's quite close to Wuzhizhou Wharf. The sunrise in the morning is especially unique with the mountains and reefs in the background. The Zero-Pressure mattress is really comfortable, highly recommend!

The environment is nice, and the hygiene is good, just like in the promotional pictures. However, the sliding doors for the bathroom and balcony are very difficult to open and close, quite old and worn. But the price is great, and it's right by the beach, which was very convenient for the kids to play in the water.

The first room has defects (air-conditioner having water coming out) and noises from outside crowds. With the notification to the staff who came and checked, and thereafter was willing to change another room for us. The attitude was good.

A perfect experience! A hidden gem with both stunning sea views and exceptional service. From booking to check-in, the entire process was full of pleasant surprises! The owner was incredibly welcoming, immediately helping us with our luggage upon arrival, which instantly melted away our travel fatigue. Messages were answered in seconds, and any request was handled promptly, giving us a great sense of security. The most amazing thing was the location – right by the sea! We could see the ocean from our window, wake up to the sound of waves in the morning, and easily stroll along the beach to listen to music in the evening. Surfers were out all day long, creating such a therapeutic atmosphere. This is a very unique hotel; the rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, the service is thoughtful, and the room types are very comfortable. Our child loved it, the bedding was soft and cozy, making for a very peaceful night's sleep. The soundproofing is also excellent, thumbs up! We'll definitely be back. The room itself also didn't disappoint – clean, minimalist, with soft and comfortable bedding. This sea-view room offers incredible value for money. I genuinely recommend it to anyone looking for a sea-view room; this stay far exceeded our expectations!

Even though I booked a special offer room, the owner upgraded us to a room with a balcony. At night, with the lights off, we fell asleep to the sound of the waves, and in the morning, we were naturally woken up by the sunlight on the sea. This immersive sea view experience really makes you want to stay a few extra days and not leave.

The room was very old and the soundproofing was terrible. Especially with a beach bar next door playing music until 11:30 PM or even midnight, it was impossible for light sleepers to get any rest. Also, the hot water for a shower only lasted 4-5 minutes, and there was no elevator, so if you had luggage, you had to carry it up the stairs yourself. I had originally planned to extend my stay, but after seeing the room, I immediately moved to the hotel next door the very next day. It was so much more comfortable than this place.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, we sincerely apologize that your stay was not satisfactory! Regarding your question about the noisy music from the beach bar next door, we have repeatedly communicated with them to try and lower the volume. We are also actively reporting the issue to the relevant departments, and the music is now turned off promptly at 11 PM. Regarding the hot water issue, the entire Houhai Village hotel uses a solar-powered hot water system. Due to the long hot water pipes, hot water needs to be released after the cold water is drained, which takes about two to three minutes. Occasionally, in bad weather, the hot water delivery time may be slightly longer. Therefore, we have specifically replaced the pump with a high-powered booster pump to shorten the hot water delivery time. As for the elevator, since it is a self-built building, the original design did not consider elevators. We are currently exploring ways to install one. We will also coordinate to optimize the luggage handling service for guests. Thank you for your honest feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a satisfactory stay in the future.

The room was genuinely clean. Stepping out into the yard, and then down the stairs, led right to the beach. Even though we didn't book a sea view room, the ocean view from the yard was truly beautiful. Especially at night, with the twinkling lights, it was dazzling and reminded me of the city's neon lights at night.

The rooms here are quite clean, and the best part is how close it is to the beach. You can walk straight down from the courtyard to the sea, and the view is really nice, I love it. The front desk staff and the owner are also very welcoming; they helped me with my luggage and quickly resolved any issues. Definitely recommended!

This sea-view B&B is absolutely fantastic! The zero-pressure mattress is incredibly comfortable – once you lie down, you won't want to get up. It's skin-friendly and breathable, and drifting off to sleep with the sound of the waves makes for a truly peaceful, dreamless night. The service is absolutely impeccable. The host was attentive and thoughtful throughout, even offering to help with luggage. The young lady at the front desk was not only lovely but also incredibly patient, answering any questions instantly. Plus, they offer discounts for surfing and beachcombing! The B&B's environment is clean and incredibly soothing. The room has amazing natural light, and with a push of the window, you're greeted by the blue sea and sky. The biggest surprise was the location – downstairs is a surf base, so you can just grab your gear and head straight to the beach. In the evenings, there are music bars on the beach with an amazing atmosphere. Sipping drinks, listening to music, and enjoying the sea breeze is so relaxing that you won't want to leave!

Honestly, I'm not a picky person, but this booking was truly my most disappointing experience. Regarding the facilities, they were old and run-down, and the cleanliness was just okay. What I couldn't stand the most was that there was no hot water; I had to shower and wash my hair with water that was almost cold. I also found a huge cockroach in the bathroom. The air conditioning blew directly onto the bed, making it impossible to sleep; I barely slept all night. I wanted to check out on the first day, but since I had booked for two days and couldn't cancel, I had no choice but to stay. However, credit where credit is due, the owner's service was satisfactory; they responded very promptly, even though none of the issues I mentioned could be resolved. The guesthouse is right by the beach, so the location is convenient. All in all, I don't recommend it; it was a one-time stay.

Response from Property: Hello, we are very sorry that your stay was extremely unpleasant! We acknowledge all the issues with the room's cleanliness and air conditioning facilities. The room was renovated and the outdated facilities were replaced in May, and it is now ready to welcome every new guest. We did our best to respond to your requests but were unable to resolve the problems, for which we sincerely apologize. Thank you for recognizing our location and our service speed, and thank you for your objective and honest review, which encourages us to continuously improve. It was our fault that you did not have a comfortable stay this time, and we hope to have the opportunity to make amends after the improvements are completed. We wish you all the best!

The location in the small town is super convenient for getting around, especially for our trip to Wuzhizhou Island the next day. The owner has a great attitude, and the room is spacious, so it doesn't feel cramped at all. Plus, having a fridge to keep drinks cold is a nice bonus.
