Xiaoxiaoqin B&B (Hongya Cave)

We checked in on the 13 and was shocked by the condition of the room. On pictures, it was nice, in reality, it is covered with dust and grime. I do not know if housekeeping is done by landlord or butler, but it is pretty sad. We booked the lijiang room which is for 4 rooms. The 4th room is actually the balcony of the apartment, boarded up. They used a cloth to block the apartments stairwell from view. The cloth was dusty and the view scary so my daughter refused to sleep in that room. She even thought the odd attachment on the wall was a cctv. It didn't leave a pleasant feel. The toilet was old, and not cleaned properly. What was interesting was our toilet is a world of difference from another room from the same seller. I conclude that other rooms had been upgraded but not my room. This is a clear misrepresentation. It should be clearly stated that this room is not renovated, unlike the other rooms. We were so traumatised by the room and checked out immediately that night and moved into a hotel nearby. The seller refused to refund the amount due to their "strict non-return" policy, so trip.com stepped in to compensate a small amount. We booked 4 nights, and that is not a small sum, since this room is the largest of the lot. It is a buyers beware kind of situation. Trip.com should step in and put a disclaimer for this room. Both Trip.com and this seller should do better. Attached are photos that are clearer representation of the room Location-wise, it is ideal as it is nea hongyadong, but it is in an old building, and the corridors are dark and eerie, with sensor lights that come on when u walk past.

房間總體很滿意，足夠兩個家庭帶孩子出遊，四個房間！地理位置也OK！可以看風景！周邊是景點，物價美食什麼的就不言而喻了，全國統一的套路！雖然有廚房，但是煤氣灶不好用，沒有微波爐，一個生銹的鍋！衞生間各角落有點開裂生黴，客廳是投影，但是屏幕是石灰自己抹的，不是白色大幕，如果白天看電視，必須拉窗簾！看窗外風景還是很nice的！

Good view

Great location, variety of food nearby, clean, good service by admin staff. It will be perfect if there is some refurbishment.

The property could benefit from some updates and maintenance. One of the queen bedrooms was converted from a balcony, making it extremely cold during winter. Additionally, the heater in one of the rooms next to the hall was not working, which made it very uncomfortable to sleep through the night. The bathroom in one of the rooms remained choked throughout our stay, and overall, the bathrooms were not thoroughly cleaned. The kitchen also lacked proper cleanliness, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the view from the hall was decent, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to make up for the shortcomings in comfort and cleanliness.

Room is huge, toilet is slightly underwhelming. But host has been very extremely helpful. Very good view to see hongya cave from the top.
