As a travel enthusiast who is not picky, I drove for 8 hours and ended up staying in the worst accommodation in recent years.
It is undeniable that the location should be the best in Taishan, where you can see the smoky foggy mountain. But I never expected that the quiet journey that I thought would cultivate my body and mind would end up being so noisy and difficult to sleep.
[Preface: There are about 3-4 buildings in this homestay, and only the two main buildings at the innermost have the best view, as shown in the picture. The view of the other two buildings is equivalent to no view, because they are very close and the windows are small. I booked a tatami room for 1 night and a double bed room for 1 night (both in the main building). The main building where the tatami room is located has a public area equipped with a long table, sofa, public toilet, and mahjong machine. There are 2 rooms on the first floor, and the soundproofing is very poor. As long as someone is playing in the public area, the guests in the room can hear it clearly.
On the day of check-in, my first night's tatami room was occupied. When I opened the room, there was a strong smell of cigarettes and messy items. The girl who led the way at the front desk said that the room I was going to stay in tonight was because there was a home party last night until very late. Some guests with children had complained to no avail and moved to other buildings, so she helped me move there today. (But this information was not informed to me in advance or asked for my opinion) When I saw the room I was going to change to, I refused because there was almost no view in the room (there were only weeds on the hillside in front of me) and there was an extra bed placed horizontally and vertically. They said they were helping me "upgrade" but in fact they were "downgrading". So I still asked to stay in the room I originally booked. We arrived at 13:30 and finally checked in at about 15:30.
Here comes the point:
When we returned to the room from outside in the evening, as soon as we opened the door of the building, we were basically breaking into someone else's living room! There were 9 people in total, except for one lady, all the others were men. The long table was filled with snacks and sundries, and the living room was filled with smoke and people were smoking and playing mahjong, making a lot of noise! My room was on the left side of the living room on the first floor, separated by a door. After closing the door, the laughter outside was clear! Later, I learned that this group of tenants only had one room in this building, and the rooms of other people were in other buildings, but they still played and made loud noises in this public area every day, and threatened to give bad reviews if they were stopped. I endured it until about 20:30 in the evening and opened the door to ask them to lower their voices, which showed that I was in poor health and had a bad heart. They did not improve the volume, and even screamed and sang in the living room. The noisy laughter was simply a large **! It was not until 22 o'clock in the evening that the world was finally quiet! As a result, there was noise in the living room again at 6 o'clock in the morning, and when I went out at more than 9 o'clock, the living room was occupied by them again...
From beginning to end, the owner of this homestay never showed up. The housekeeper went back to his hometown for something, and only a little sister at the front desk presided over this pile of things during the May Day holiday. No one came to restrain the guests with poor quality, and when they found problems, they would only solve the "guests who are orderly and easy to talk to". Those who come to Hui Taishan must be travelers who want to seek tranquility, but setting up a public area in a homestay with poor sound insulation and a mahjong machine in the room is very incomprehensible! It can be said that this trip was ruined by this homestay. The biggest responsible party for the incident must be the homestay's lack of management ability!
1. The night before I checked in, I already knew that the group of tenants had problems, and no one went to properly solve them in advance, but waited for me to check in the next day to solve me;
2. The room I checked in at 14:00 was not cleaned for me, and I was arranged to go somewhere else without asking for my opinion, which caused me to check in at 15:30, affecting my trip;
3. Why can non-house guests use mahjong machines to have home parties in the public area with other tenants late at night?
4. After the incident, no one came to communicate with me to apologize and take remedial measures.

In short, the evaluation is that the location is good, the aunt and uncle in the kitchen are very simple, and they get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for me. The little cat is very cute, but everything else is a mess. The store does not restrain customers with poor quality, and does not solve problems when they arise. Staying in this store is really like opening a blind box, and everything depends on the quality of other tenants living in the same building.
