This hotel is a steal, there is absolutely no guarantee of personal safety. I only dared to make this comment on the high-speed train on my way back. In the morning, I was using a drone for aerial photography and due to an operational error, my drone fell into a small puddle in the village in front of the hotel. Because I didn't have the right tools, I went back to the hotel and told the staff about the situation and asked if he could help find someone to salvage it. The handsome guy at the hotel told me that he could help me find someone to salvage it. After looking at the pictures of the salvage scene that I showed him, he said it would cost 500 yuan. I agreed and took the people he called to the scene. In the afternoon, after lunch, I went back to the hotel to ask about the situation. They said that they couldn’t salvage it because the water was too dirty and there were pesticides in it. Although I don't think it's as bad as he said, I had no choice but to give up. In the afternoon, I found a local professional drone salvaging guy on the Internet. He was so exhausted from the salvage that he doubted his life. He told me that he had also consulted people nearby, and they told me that my drone had been salvaged by someone and was definitely not in the pit. So I had to give up again. We listened to music in a bar on West Street in the evening and it was already 2 o'clock when we returned to the hotel. Because I forgot to bring my room card when I went out, no one responded to me after I tried to contact the hotel’s work WeChat. I found that the hotel lobby was not locked and there was no one there, so I went straight into the lobby. When I was about to call the contact number in the lobby, I saw a room card with "Master Card" written on it on the desk at the front desk. Since it was already past 2 o'clock and there was no one in the hotel lobby, I took the card myself and found that I could really open my room. This means that anyone can enter the lobby in the middle of the night and use this card to open any resident's door! What's even more classic is that when I went into the room, locked the door and prepared to rest, a local man was riding a motorcycle downstairs in the hotel. I was attracted by the sound of the motorcycle and wanted to see if someone from the front desk had returned, so I went to the balcony to see. The person on the motorcycle said that he was the security guard of this hotel and also the head of the Internet celebrity restaurant next door or something. I couldn't hear it clearly, but in short, he was a powerful person in this village, and it felt like our hotel and the Internet celebrity restaurant next door were all within his sphere of influence. He asked me how much I was willing to pay to buy back the drone. I told him that I had already applied for a flight cancellation and bought a new one, so this drone was scrapped and could not fly anymore, but there was still a card and some photos inside, so I was willing to compensate him 200 yuan for the labor costs. This villager, who was also the hotel security guard and the only hotel staff member at the time, told me that he was unwilling to return the drone to me and asked us to rest first. I rode back on my motorcycle. It seems that this person had been waiting for us to return and came over to blackmail us at 2am (I think he thought the 500 yuan I offered was too low) My wife kept telling me that she was afraid to sleep and wanted to change hotels to the county immediately. This hotel did not feel safe at all. That person knew that we had been salvaging for a long time and called professionals to salvage the fish. That guy had been in the fish pond for two days, so we definitely would not give him the 200 yuan he deserves. If he wants to use force and insists that it took us a long time to fish it out and we cannot get rid of the drone now, we will have no choice. But because it was almost 3 o'clock, there was no car to go to the county town, so we couldn't go. In short, when you come to Yangshuo, you must not stay in a hotel in this area. It is too remote. When night falls, the pastoral life during the day disappears. If something really happens at night, there is no safety guarantee! You must not stay at this hotel, because in the second half of the night, the personal safety of the residents is handed over to the villagers. The hotel's work WeChat and work phone number are in this person's hands, and he will come to blackmail the residents at more than 2 o'clock in the middle of the night. It's simply outrageous! In order to confirm whether this person was the hotel security personnel as he claimed, I called the hotel's emergency contact number, and it turned out that this person answered the phone again. I was horrified when I heard this. I feel like I'm trapped in the plot of the movie "A Way Out"! Cry to the sky, no one will respond; cry to the earth, no one will respond! So when I checked out today, the hotel management didn't mention this at all. I don't know if they didn't know what happened last night, or if they thought it was a matter between me and the villagers and they didn't want to get involved. Considering personal safety, I was also afraid that the security guard would ask us to pay to get our drone back, so we just took the high-speed train home. Only then did I feel safe. I had wanted to take a picture of the man blackmailing us last night, but he was very aggressive at the time and I was afraid of further angering him so I didn't dare to take a picture.

The hotel is next to the Jiuxian Wharf of Yulong River, with convenient transportation. There are 7 or 8 parking spaces in front of the hotel. There is a restaurant downstairs that provides Western and Chinese food. The auntie in the restaurant is very welcoming. The room was relatively clean, but the tatami was slightly sagging. The view from the balcony is very good. You can see the green rice fields while sitting on the balcony. It is also very convenient to go to Jiuxian Pier to play bamboo rafting, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk there. Bamboo rafts need to be booked one day in advance and are difficult to grab. If you just want to experience it, you can go to Jiuxian Wharf on the same day to buy a short-distance bamboo raft ticket. The hotel owner is very enthusiastic and you can consult him for surrounding tours.

Very pet friendly, the restaurant serves delicious food!
