Villas in Zhejiang, China

The room was very dark. While it's supposed to be for sustainable development, this level of darkness was really unnecessary. And why can't friends stay at this therapeutic hotel? I really don't understand why all the rooms are double rooms. Although they're all detached, they're much smaller than I expected, with practically no room to move around in the bedroom. In the dead of winter, the bedroom wasn't warm enough; with a heater, I was constantly tripping over it when getting up at night. The separate tea room was also unnecessary; it would have been better to convert it into another bedroom. My friend said the water was incredibly cold when showering. Getting a taxi from the hotel was difficult. The hotel seemed to have one or two cars, but most of the time they were busy taking guests around... so there was no way to visit the nearby estates and reservoir. The hotel's activities were at fixed times, and if you couldn't join, you had to miss them. Because we couldn't go out, we could only eat at the hotel. The food wasn't cheap, but the taste was really mediocre—just like homemade stir-fries with ready-made sauces, lacking any appeal in terms of color, aroma, or flavor. I was drawn to the hotel because of its overall nice theme, but the price was really too high and it didn't achieve the goal of relaxing and healing at the hotel.

My trip to Moganshan was spurred by a rare good weather weekend and a spontaneous decision. I blindly booked this B&B on Trip.com simply because I liked its name, 'Moshangyin'. I'm just a hopelessly spontaneous person. My suitcase packed clothes for tomorrow, my camera, and a bottle of red wine. I specifically booked a room with a bathtub, hoping to get tipsy under a sky full of stars before drifting off to sleep. However, the reality was I ended up sharing that bottle of wine over a staff meal at the B&B. I met the lovely and fun Sister Fen, known as 'Moganshan's Queen', and the incredibly approachable and wise B&B owner, Da Ling. She cooked me delicious shredded pork noodles and helped me take many great photos. I was the only guest who got to join that meal, simply because I was the only solo guest at the whole B&B – how both sad and interesting is that? In my heart, Moshangyin in Moganshan definitely deserves a five-star review.

I specifically chose the Brettonwood Resort for my trip to Qiandao Lake this time, and the overall stay exceeded my expectations – it was absolutely fantastic! Our butler, Mei Mei, was incredibly attentive and deserves a special shout-out! The hotel's location is excellent; I could enjoy the stunning lake and mountain views right from my window. In the mornings, there was a beautiful mist, and in the evenings, gorgeous sunsets. The scenery was truly breathtaking. The front desk staff were warm and patient, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. Any requests were handled promptly. The resort grounds are serene and elegant, with lush greenery and even a petting zoo. The kids absolutely loved feeding the peacocks, ducks, bunnies, foxes, raccoons, and piglets. It's also very pet-friendly. The breakfast buffet offered a rich variety, especially the noodle and vermicelli station with a wide selection of condiments. They even had homemade chili and ginger, which was a real treat for spice lovers. Parking for self-drivers is convenient, and it's particularly well-suited for family vacations. This will be my top choice for Qiandao Lake; I'll definitely be back!

Rooms are named with themes like ”Mogan,” ”Ziling,” ”Mountain Village,” and ”Reading,” revealing thoughtful details. The king-size suites, some with a two-story loft structure, feature floor-to-ceiling windows, a private balcony, and a bathtub, offering breathtaking views of the bamboo forest and mountains. Comfort is paramount. ”Butler-style” service is provided; staff will be waiting for you upon check-in and assist with luggage. Dining is a highlight; afternoon tea and breakfast are exquisite and ceremonial, with the villa owner, Mr. Wang, providing engaging and attentive service. Dinner features private kitchen cuisine with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors from the Jiangzhe region. I would recommend this place to my family and friends!

This was my first time visiting Moganshan, and I booked the Shangpo B&B based on Ctrip's ratings and reviews. I was really impressed by the welcome letter, which showed the owner is cultured and thoughtful, and it immediately heightened my expectations for this 'paradise on earth'... The B&B is nestled amidst mountains and bamboo forests, with a three-story, reddish-orange Tuscan-style exterior that exudes a vintage charm. It feels incredibly exotic being surrounded by the bamboo sea and mountains. The environment here is serene and peaceful, truly a 'paradise away from the hustle and bustle' as described in the welcome letter. The room was clean and elegant, offering mountain views right from the moment you open the door. Every detail exuded a subtle luxury. My favorite part was the artwork in the common areas – several Picasso-esque paintings by Dutch artists, paired with light luxury, simple European furniture, creating a striking visual contrast between modern and vintage that sparks a unique aesthetic romance. Both the Chinese and Western meals here were incredibly delicious, fresh, and exquisitely prepared. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner could all be customized to guests' requests; it truly felt like everyone was a VIP. The service at the B&B was also outstanding. Coffee and mineral water were provided free of charge and unlimited throughout the day! The housekeeper was warm, attentive, and incredibly responsive to every request. This is, without a doubt, the best-serviced B&B I've ever stayed at. I will definitely be back!

✨Moganshan ZAN | The ideal pet-friendly mountain retreat It's a convenient drive from Shanghai. The B&B is nestled halfway up the mountain, surrounded by bamboo forests. Waking up to the sound of birdsong, far from the city's hustle and bustle, instantly gives you that perfect holiday feeling. The room was very well-maintained and clean, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a scenic balcony, allowing you to enjoy mountain views right from your bed. The yard has a lawn where dogs can run freely, and there's a stream within walking distance – perfect for splashing around in summer! The herbal hotpot was a delightful surprise; the ingredients were fresh. There are also a few gentle cats at the property that you can pet. No need to rush around visiting attractions; just relaxing and sipping tea at the B&B is wonderfully enjoyable.

We chose the homestay for it's secluded location and loved every bit of it! The rooms were fantastic. The staff were very warm and welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect. The bbq experience with the outdoor karaoke setup was great! Sang our hearts out! The view of the bamboo forest from the room coupled with an outdoor balcony made the evenings that much more special to enjoy with our group. The breakfast meals were an absolute delight and the staff made sure to cater exactly as we requested. Transport (via alipay car hail) was a bit of an issue because of the scarcity of taxis in the area, but the auntie at the hotel was kind enough to arrange a taxi through one of her friends. The hotel outdoor area is very spacious and had multiple activities to follow including water gun fights and trampolines. We really did let the kid inside of us run wild this weekend. The fishing experience was fun and educating although we couldn't catch any ourselves. All in all, such a great weekend and will definitely recommend to anyone including foreigners. 5/5 Totally satisfied.

The Accomodation is in the Lingyin Feilai Peak scenic area. Hence, cars are restricted from entering the area until after 5 pm. It is a 3 storey house, with a tea plantation beside it. A pity it was raining the time of our stay so we couldn’t enjoy the plantation outdoors. Anyway, we had a lovely and comfortable stay as it felt like home. We had the 3rd level - 2 rooms, all to ourselves. Futon beds with tea set and homemade cookies, that we could enjoy in our rooms. One of the room has a huge bathroom with a tub, while the other, the toilet and shower area are interconnected, making it rather tight. Room is spacious for 2 persons. The owner is a nice gentle lady. Will recommend to anyone who wants to stay in close proximity to the scenic area.

Moganshan boasts many uniquely designed guesthouses, and this one stands out as a prime example. Nestled halfway up the mountain, the entire property, including its courtyard and buildings, blends seamlessly into a grand artistic display, harmonizing with the serene natural surroundings. The long staircase leading to the rooms adds a touch of ceremony, with the assumption that the higher you climb, the better the room, requiring a bit more effort. Each room here has a unique, almost ethereal theme. The 'Lanji' room is likely their best, spanning 55 square meters, featuring a separate wet and dry area, underfloor heating, and a fantastic walk-in hot tub. The views are enveloped by lush greenery, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows. Stepping onto the balcony, you're greeted by fresh air and vibrant greenery. The beautiful outdoor scenery and tranquil indoor ambiance perfectly complement each other. The rooftop boasts an open-air private hot spring cabin where you can soak while enjoying tea by the fire, unwinding from the day's fatigue. In the evening, candles create a magical atmosphere, perfect for photos. Their restaurant serves delicious farm-style dishes that truly tantalized my taste buds. After dinner, you can relax with tea in the cozy and comfortable lobby bar. They even offer outdoor KTV, bonfire parties, and stargazing movies. The area around the guesthouse has limited amenities; it's a 30-minute drive to Deqing, so self-driving is highly recommended. The one-on-one butler service is thoughtful, meticulous, and incredibly helpful – they even tried their hand at a live interview! Upon departure, they gifted me a souvenir and saw me off to my car, which was a very heartwarming touch.

The overall experience exceeded my expectations! The location is convenient, the room is clean and tidy, and the bedding is comfortable for a good night's sleep. The front desk staff are warm and efficient, providing thoughtful and attentive service. The soundproofing is excellent, and the value for money is top-notch. This will be my first choice for future trips!
