“This B&B deserves a much higher ranking!”

I think its absolutely unfair that such a great place gets such a low ranking on TA! I wouldnt have considered this place at all due to its low ranking (i usually only go for top 20), if i hadnt met the owners at a roadshow.

I think its absolutely unfair that such a great place gets such a low ranking on TA! I wouldnt have considered this place at all due to its low ranking (i usually only go for top 20), if i hadnt met the owners at a roadshow. They unreservedly offered me suggestions and directions when i was just asking about transport and general stuff about Yilan, with no obligations. He even gave me his number, so i can feel free to ask him any further questions, if i have any. All these when i have not even booked my tickets! Our top priority was our toddler, so when i asked if they could cook some porridge for him twice a day and i would pay, the boss very generously and immediately replied that he would do it for free! Compare that to another top 10 hotel who didnt want to do it despite having an onsite restaurant. Thus we finally decided to give this hotel a try, a bit apprehensively at first i must say. But boy, was i pleasantly surprised! The owner personally helped me get train tickets from yilan to taitung, when i couldnt get the timings i need. There was some miscommunication, and his wife had to book and rebook the tickets, even though she was on vacation! When we had baggage delay, their staff took initiative to communicate with the airport staff and courier on my behalf, even though i am proficient in the Chinese language. They made multiple calls to make sure my baggage gets delivered before we leave for another city. They were also very quick to attend to any request and appear at my door with whatever thats needed whenever i called, even when its raining. Due to the baggage delay, we reached close to 8pm for dinner at their restaurant, but no one complained or even mentioned that the restaurant is supposed to close at 8pm! We had a great relaxing meal at the on site restaurant where you can see fishes swimming beneath! It was an awesome respite from the bad day we had from the long hours of travel to the delay and jam. The owner instructed the chefs to prepare different types of porridge for my son for every meal, and even drove us to the town central a few times (they provide free transport to luodong town area), this coming from an owner of a 50 room property! His wife personally plays the guzhen now and then during breakfast, oh and they have live music some days during dinner time! The rooms were big and clean, my son had fun climbing the stairs and running around. There are 3 tvs, one upstairs one downstairs, and even one you can watch while in the hot spring tub! We saw stars just above our bed, when we opened the retractable roof in our room. We love the quaint and rustic feel of this place, with dogs and cats, ducks and fishes, chickens and parrots. In fact, because my son wasnt feeling too well, we only went out of the hotel in the late afternoons, yet we felt that this place had everything we need, whether its a hot meal, a hot soak or bath, or just leisurely feeding fishes and ducks and exploring around with our toddler. I believe the only reason why their rating is not higher is probably because with 50 rooms to handle compared to a 3room b&b, guests may not have the chance to have much interaction with the owners and hence cannot feel their hospitality or sincerity as much. But to lucky me who got to know them right from the start, the owners have been nothing short of amazing, they are humble and very welcoming, genuinely sincere! This is definitely a good base for young families and the place we would return to, when we come to Yilan again!

Wir waren für 4 Tage und 2 Nächte in zwei unterschiedliche Arten von Zimmern im Juni 2015. Die Villa und der Bubble Room. Frühstück und Abendessen sind nicht schlecht. Sehr gute Erfahrung und auf der Suche nach einem weiteren Besuch. sollten Sie ein neues, großes Restaurant und weitere Zimmer im Jahr 2016. Die Größe dieses B&B ist wie ein Resort, mit einem großen Bereich für Kinder, sie können Radfahren, Schwimmen, knallfrosch oder besuchen Sie in der Nähe Farms. Der Garten, der Pool, der Lotus Pool in der Nähe und die Tiere machen dieses B&B sieht super aus. Die Lage des B&B ist in der Nähe des Luo Dong Nachtmarkt, Reisen mit dem Auto ist schnell. Zimmer Service sollte die gemeinsame Zimmerservice von B&B im Yilan - umweltpolitische Conservation. Keine extra Anzahl der Kissen oder Handtuch werden gestellt. Im Preis ist an Wochentagen für mich gut. wert eines der Top 20 B&B im Yilan.

Waren für eine Nacht, der Service ist relativ gut, Zimmer und Badezimmer sind geräumig. Eine Sache, die man beachten Sie hier ist Mücken, bringen Sie Insektenschutzmittel oder Mücken Patch. schnell sein, in der Nähe der Tür wenn Sie die Zimmer sonst ein oder zwei Moskitos können folgen. Es gibt ein Massage Badewanne zu benutzen, vielleicht ein wenig kompliziert, es gibt viele Funktionen zum Auschecken. Es gibt einen kostenlosen WiFi. Meiner Meinung nach, es gibt wirklich nicht viel zu tun, mehr für einen Aufenthalt, und fahren Sie am nächsten Tag Art von Resort. Die Auswahl beim Frühstück ist sehr begrenzt, es ist mehr wie ihrer lokalen's Essen. Erwarten Sie keine ein internationales Buffet. Mehr wie hausgemachte Sandwiches und Haferbrei. Es gibt Fahrräder ausleihen. Im Grunde genommen nicht viel zu tun.

Wife and I came here for our anniversary. It's way off the beaten path...small roads to get there. Outside of any major city. It is exactly 1 hour from the Taipei 101. When we checked in the front desk clerk did not want to speak English, but started to after a little encouragement. We stayed in a romantic villa. One large queen bed. It was quite expensive, so I was very shocked at the condition of the room. Under-maintained would be the proper way to put it. The wallpaper was coming up, random nails, screws and wires sticking out of the wall. Weird stains here and there. Very disappointing. It had it's own small "private" pool. It wasn't quite private though. You could see the second floor lodge and the rooms above too. Not private. There is a public pool but the hours it is available are pretty ridiculous. Not very many times you can use it, and you have to wear a ridiculous swim cap. There are some beautiful birds in cages along a small path as well as a large pond that runs through most of the property. They have bicycles you can use for free (but everything is very far away) I'm not sure where you would want to ride them to. There just isn't enough on the property to do to really be able to call this a "resort." The restaurant was very delicious for dinner, but not so much for breakfast. For what we paid for this place, it wasn't near worth it.
