Yepsun Villa [The first choice for overseas tourists]

Over all I am disappointed with this hotel. We booked here as we found the listed amenities to be comprehensive, stating a bar, cafe, restaurant, fitness room, massage room, hot spring, pool, children’s pool etc. however this was not the case. There is only a restaurant that serves coffee and has instant noodles and beers for sale. We saw no sign of a fitness room or massage room. They have a heated pool which was nice to swim in, but no children’s pool or hotspring. The environment is old and run down and has not been well maintained. The public areas are also dirty and messy. The room was nice but did have splashes of dirt on the walls. And the room cleaning service was not very thorough. Some positive aspects are the beautiful environment and view of the mountains and rivers and the service from Xiao Ya, who was very helpful.

Such a beautiful and welcoming hotel! We had the family room on the top floor. It was spacious, the bed was huge and super comfortable, the shower was hot and the toiletries smelled amazing! The view was to the mountains and you could hear all the countryside morning sounds when waking up! The staff are super helpful too! I cannot thank them enough for all the advice and help. Although they do not speak English, we had no problem at all communicating via translator apps. For foreigners, like us, who do not drive — it is worth mentioning, that the hotel is at the end of the road, right in the mountains. You will need a taxi to go anywhere and taxis are more expensive there, because you either need to use local services or pay extra to didi drivers so they agree to drive you up the mountain serpentines. There was no massage, as listed here. It was not a problem for us, we absolutely loved the outdoor pool after a long hike. The restaurant was not working too. But I am aware that you can order food and still have a beautiful meal on one of their terraces. It is a truly idilic and peaceful place, away from the world.
