I've been home for a while, but I still feel compelled to leave an honest review.
First off, there was construction going on outside when I arrived, and I was completely shocked. I had really been looking forward to the big lawn, but as you can see in the picture, it looked nothing like the promotional photos. I had no idea when I booked. If it's going to look different from the pictures for a while, shouldn't those display photos be taken down?
Secondly, when I asked the guesthouse owner about it, there was no apology whatsoever. The first thing they said was, 'This room originally costs 580.' What kind of attitude is that? Do they think I can't afford the original price or something?… The prices on product listings are set by the sellers themselves. If the pictures had been accurate and I liked them, I still would have booked. Do I need to do a background check every time I book a room? If they had just told me beforehand that there was construction and that's why it was discounted, I wouldn't have been so angry.
However, in all fairness, you can tell the design is quite good. Looking past the exterior, the interior of the house, its facilities, and environment are all excellent. It has a smart toilet, an oxygen generator, a humidifier with heating, a skylight, and so on. It's also very clean. So, you can tell the guesthouse aims for a high-end experience. It's about a ten-minute walk from Feilai Temple Observation Deck, and breakfast is provided. So, overall, the stay was still OK.
Therefore, I still suggest that if there are such significant discrepancies between the hotel and its promotional photos or advertised services, it would be helpful to prepare guests mentally beforehand.
