Secret Courtyard Resort Hotel

The staff are incredibly friendly, approachable, and accommodating. The variety of food and local options are substantial. Free electric vehicles available to zip around. Wonderful hiking options and a view to come back to. One thing I would recommend against is letting someone else do your personal laundry. My clothes came back damp and I don't think they used laundry detergent. Otherwise, this is a stop I plan to make again annually!

Xiao Ming is probally the best person I met in my life

Free laundry service was awesome. Done the same day. Complimentary breakfast was also good. Not much variety but satisfying. The fresh fruit was especially good. Our conceirge took care of our needs immediately and with hesitation. The hotel also provide electric scooters which were free to use to get around wherever you wanted to go.

This was a pretty nice little hotel that is placed between the modern and the traditional. What I meant is that the room has a regular sit-on toilet, but the rest room in the main office has the squatting toilet. The room also does not have a mini refrigerator. I also felt that the bath doesn’t have adequate heating because it feels cold and the toilet seat was really cold. The room has a TV, but I couldn’t get it to turn on. The hotel is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel, but the manager smoked and at least one other man who helped me with the scooter also smoked. So, I often smelled cigarette smoking in different places and I felt I did a bit of second-hand smoking. I did not smell cigarettes smokes in my room though. The room was clean and I did feel comfortable sleeping in the bed with nice pillows and comforter. You do get a free scooter to ride around and it has a battery for about 30 kilometers. The hotel seemed very safe and it gives an old small Chinese village feel where there are a bunch of other similar hotels and family-style restaurants. While I was walking by the neighborhood, a little girl less than 5 years old came by and spoke Chinese asked me to stay in the hotel that her parents operates and maybe owns. That was really cute that I had to go inside with her to talk with her parents. They are so down to earth and friendly. Again, this is somewhat of a village that falls in between the traditional and modern that you can get a feel of, a nice vibe.

The place is a true secret. Everything was great and it is a bit far from the city so quiet and in the middle of nature. Easy Didi ride. Bed is comfortable with a cozy room and nice super hot shower. Perfect for a get away! The tour guide Sud was also awesome so he can drive you arouns if you decide to go on a tour.

Xiaoming made our stay amazing! He was friendly and welcoming and always available to answer any questions and help plan your stay. The place is beautiful and quiet and relaxing. The room was comfortable and spacious. What great views. The breakfast was perfect and we spent the day using the electric scooter which was super fun. I completely recommend staying here and staying at least two days so you can appreciate the area. We regret not spending more time here. Definitely book here if you have the chance.

Xiaoming is an excellent host Always a quick response and very attentive to our needs . What’s App was the best way to communicate Xiaoming also makes a great Gin ‘n Tomic !

laundry service was great and at no charges

Hotel is located in a small village. The google map location is incorrect- the resort is on the other side of the village. The owner is very accommodating and friendly.

Very nice quiet location with beautiful views of the mountain. Very peaceful hotel and excellent service. They offered us plenty of fresh fruit during our stay. The bed and room was comfortable and clean. Totally recommend if you want to have a nice stay and rest.

Outstand services and very rustic location. Great getaway.

The general area is being allowed to run down. Quite a few businesses were shut down.

Great service and help from host. Very tranquil location

If you are looking for amenities such as swimming pool, spa, and gym, then this hotel may not work for you. This hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood across from the busy center city, which is just a quick 15-20 minutes ride. Front staff is very helpful.

If you like a quiet place, this is great. Hotel management is friendly. Great breakfast: Chinese and European/ American style breakfast: fruit, noodles.

The room's cleanliness was really good, all the things mentioned on expedia about this hotel were available. The hotel owner was really nice and went out of his way to make us comfortable. He was mostly doing all the work but fulfilled all of our requests on time. Would surely stay here again.
