Shaxi Ancient Town Powusi Homestay

I chose Po Wu Shi on the recommendation of a friend! I was not disappointed! Full of design sense, large space, sitting in the living room and looking at the village under the mountain, my heart was calm! The boss lady was very nice, and the staff in the store were also very nice. They took us to climb the mountain to pick pine cones and go to the ancient town. The experience was first-rate!

The environment is so beautiful, the room is clean and comfortable, the service staff is friendly, the breakfast is very delicious, and the exquisite afternoon tea that you just arrived: very good, beyond the B&B of a five-star hotel, I must visit again next time

This time I am traveling alone. I come to Dali two to three times every year. I learned about "Po Wushi" from Xiaohongshu. Then I checked the room type, price and scenery on Ctrip and booked the "Wenyue" room type. I thought it was okay. I was really looking forward to it, but I was quite disappointed after going there. If I give a recommendation out of 5, I would give it 3 points, 2 points to the lady at the front desk, and 1 point to the geographical environment. First let me talk about what I think is good: 1. Because I drove there by myself, the lady at the front desk immediately came out to greet me and helped me get my backpack. Because the parking area was too narrow, I was afraid of affecting the passage of others, so I moved my car again. The lady at the front desk waited for me to park my car and went in to check in together. . 2. Walk to the check-in hall and immediately ask if you want something to drink. I ordered a cup of coffee that tasted good and the service was appropriate and helpful. 3. The location of the B&B is excellent. It is located halfway up the mountain in Hualong Village, overlooking the entire Shaxi Ancient Town. The cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers in recent seasons have been in bloom, adding a bit of romance to the spring. 4. The equipment, facilities, bedding and toiletries in the room are all from big brands, which reflects the taste of the host and adds a touch of luxury. What I especially want to say is that the towels are very soft, comfortable and skin-friendly. High praise! 5. The rice noodle ingredients for breakfast are very rich and delicious, and the pumpkin puree is very dense and well received. Bad points that can be improved: 1. After booking a room on Ctrip, no staff contacted me. No contact was made the day before check-in. No one told me the location of the hotel, what time I could check in, and whether I would drive there or take a taxi. 2. The slope of the road from Shaxi Ancient Town to the B&B is at least 60 degrees. The road can only pass one car. When approaching the B&B, there is a staircase that extends to the road, making the originally narrow situation even narrower and prone to accidents. Damn, novices please drive with caution. 3. The B&B does not have a dedicated parking lot, you can only park on the roadside at the door. 4. The room card does not have a card holder, and there is no mark on the breakfast time, afternoon tea time, room WiFi password, front desk phone number, or services provided. 5. Waiting for room cleaning and inspection in the check-in hall. After being informed that I could check in, I was taken to the room by the staff. There was no introduction to room equipment and facilities. 6. After checking in, I found long female hair on the sofa and bed, and muddy water on the track of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Because I wanted to go into Shibaoshan to see the grottoes, I went out and informed the front desk. The response was very fast and I apologized in person (it was the girl who helped me carry my luggage). ) 7. Afternoon tea, because the front desk told me when I checked in that I needed to go down the mountain to buy it and provide it to you when you come back. When I returned to the B&B in the evening, they didn’t ask me if I still needed it. 8. I informed the staff to clean the room again. When I went to the bathroom to take a shower at night, I found that there were long female hair on the non-slip floor mat and some hair in the private messaging area. There seemed to be some problem with the drainage in the bathroom. Even after taking a shower at night, there was still water in the morning. This is the most intolerable thing about my stay in this B&B, so everything is based on hygiene and service. If I can't do these two most basic things well, let's talk about other things. 9. The Wenyue room type I stayed in was indeed very large. According to the introduction, it was 125 square meters. My evaluation was that it was very large and empty, with average practicality. There were two deck chairs on the outdoor terrace. When you lie outside, everyone who enters the B&B will look at it. Seeing you is like seeing pandas in the zoo with no privacy at all. The recliner is not covered at night, so you don't want to lie down in the morning. It is full of water, dirt and dust and is really dirty. 10. Have breakfast in the lobby in the morning, swatting flies while eating. No matter how beautiful the scenery, the best location, or the delicious food, it will affect your mood. It is recommended that B&Bs provide travel-sized spare parts, which are convenient, clean and hygienic. The spare parts currently provided are all big brands but can be unscrewed in case someone puts something inside, or they should be replaced with brands that cannot be unscrewed to increase safety. Make a room card sleeve with the time and location of the services provided clearly written on it. Strengthen the training of the housekeeping department to ensure that there are no major mistakes in guest room hygiene.

Powushi is located at the top of the village, about ten minutes' drive from the ancient city. The inn has an excellent location and a wide view. The proprietress is attentive and I like her breakfast and coffee. The facilities are complete. I like the Hansgrohe shower room very much. The bath towels and face towels are all disposable, which is more considerate than the hotel. Except for the lack of a large mirror, everything else is perfect. The experience on the mountain is very comfortable, much better than living in the ancient city. I hope that the quality of Powushi will not decline in the coming year. I wish the proprietress a prosperous business!

I didn't expect to find such a B&B in Shaxi. I had already booked a B&B in the town, but I passed by it occasionally while drinking coffee. I couldn't help but cancel the reservation in the town and stay here to enjoy the view of 23 villages in Shaxi from the top of the mountain. The facilities are first-class, full of details, and the service is excellent. I will come again next time.

Let me start with the advantages. The service attitude is good, especially the guy at the front desk. The view is great. Let’s not talk about the gimmicky brand. The bed and pillow are soft and hard. The towels and bathrobes are absorbent. The shampoo is also easy to use. They are all good. Some questions 1. Did you accidentally leave the room card on the day of check-in? 2. After checking in, I found that the windows in the house were open, causing four flies to fly around in the house. I think the core problem is that there are no screens in order to preserve the scenery. 3. No one cleaned the room and no one replenished the water for two consecutive days. I asked about it on my own. 4. The electric fly swatter I asked for was out of power, so I charged it myself. 5. On the last day, I asked if I could be sent down the mountain because I didn’t drive myself. I found out in the morning that it was not synchronized. 6. Among the room facilities, the tea set is really not suitable to be placed in the position where the floor-to-ceiling window collapses, because you must move it once when you draw the curtains, otherwise it is easy to touch it. And the small round table in front of the window is very light, so it is not suitable to move the tea set over. The table is unstable. 7. There is no TV in this room type. I think there should be more obvious markings. 8. The above problems were solved immediately at the first time. It is not a bad review. On the contrary, I really hope that it will get better and better. Don’t blame the guy for the sincere record. The guy is a plus. 9. The fly problem in the public area of ​​the lobby also needs to be solved
