Extremely Overpriced.
I can't understand the reviews unless they were written at a time when this guesthouse was cheap. We felt at all times like we were in somebody's house.
The good: Rooms are clean and well decorated, and views are nice. Also, they offered to pick us up from the pier and took us back at check out.
The problem we found is everything was way below expectations for a 80U$ room in China.
It is located in an isolated area where you can escape the crowds, however, we didn't find that peace mentioned in some comments cause the owner's children spent their time yelling like hell at our room's door, and kicking plastic bottles around (and even under) our table while we waited for dinner.
They and their friends and/or family had dinner at the same time we did. We didn't get napkins, but they got some for themselves. It was pretty hot, so they placed a fan next to their table, and didn't even ask if we needed the same.
Dinner was good, but we discovered the fish price was by pound only when the bill came. Of course that part is not translated in the English menu.
Worst check in we had in China. The woman just opened the door and left without a word.
We understood no information would be provided, so we asked for hiking suggestions through Wechat (she always asked WeChat pretty fast). As an answer, we received some photos with indications in Chinese. I guess having 5 photos with indications in English for international guests is too much trouble.
All these issues would be minor with a different price, but I think they are not acceptable if you charge considerably more than average.
After weeks traveling in China, this was by far the worst accommodation experience. We received way better service at any 20U$ hostel.
I strongly recommend not booking this "hotel" unless their prices drop below 40U$/night, which would be more than fair.
