Hong Ban Tian B&B

The owners were so polite and friendly, and I had a really relaxed stay. I couldn’t find a guesthouse that worked for the long weekend, but luckily they still had a room when I messaged. The courtyard is lovely, and the two rabbits kept my sister company and won her over.

There’s a lovely garden for having tea, chatting, or looking at the flowers, and the air feels fresh and comfortable. The B&B itself is clean and pretty, with antique European-style furniture. You can sing or play cards in the living room. Really nice place, highly recommended.

The room was damp, leaked, and had dated facilities. The sheets were so badly pilled they scratched, and the bathroom sliding door wouldn’t open. Shower gel was provided in a bottle, but lotion wasn’t. Watch the doorknob lock too, since your fingers could get hurt if they aren’t firm enough. There’s no bottled water in the rooms, just one dispenser in the park. If you need water at night in the rain, take an umbrella and be careful not to slip. You’ll need to bring your own dishes and chopsticks. Six or seven people got flea bites, and some went for medical care. Mosquito bites are just part of nature, and flea bites may be unavoidable, but that doesn’t make the situation pleasant. I’m not sure whether I can ask the Consumers' Foundation for compensation. The fire equipment needs a review. The TV felt like a prop, as if guests are supposed to act out what’s on screen themselves. The mahjong table is cute, but it was the only fun thing. The proprietress is a very enthusiastic soprano. If there’s an accident, you can file a claim with the police.

Waking up to that lovely Tiffany blue sky in such a peaceful setting was wonderful. The guesthouse owner was incredibly welcoming and treated us like royalty ❤️. A fun guesthouse unboxing trip in Lugu!
