"Let's start with the positives:
1. The room was spacious.
2. The staff provided excellent service.
3. The breakfast was delicious, even though the variety wasn't extensive, the quality made up for it.
Now for the negatives:
1. The room facilities were far from what you'd expect from a five-star or luxury hotel. The soundproofing was incredibly poor; we could clearly hear the water running from upstairs and doors opening and closing next door. We stayed in the main building, so I'm not sure if the villa area would be any better.
2. This hotel allows pets. Unfortunately, there was a dog barking continuously at 11 PM and again at 7 AM. Despite contacting the front desk, nothing changed. I don't quite understand the hotel's positioning – they claim to be a secluded, '人间桃花源' (a tranquil haven), emphasizing peace and quiet. Yet, it turned out to be the noisiest five-star hotel I've ever stayed in. Imagine wanting to sleep in after a hot spring bath the day before – it would be incredibly frustrating.
3. The hotel's location is very remote. It's almost impossible to get a taxi from the hotel, so guests should plan their transportation carefully.
In summary:
I won't be returning. The experience was very disappointing. The only reason for the given score is the excellent service from the staff and the nearby hot spring experience. Of course, the hot spring isn't included in the hotel stay and requires a separate ticket purchase."
