肇兴溪舍山堂 Creekside Inn

We got an upgrade, which was nice. The room was clean. On arrival a driver picked us up at the ticket office (after some discussion).

The room interior was a little dated but still ok. The main problem with this stay and why I did this poor rating is the location of the hotel and the lack of interest in creating a good and effortless stay for the guests. The location is at the end of the village (5km or so from the ticket office). Only cars of villagers are allowed in the village. After checkout they refused to bring us with our luggage to the parking lot at the ticket office. It was also not possible to get a driver for cash. We had 2 big suitcases and 2 backpacks. We had to walk ~6 minutes up a hill to a shuttle stop. It was really hot and we had to wait more than 15 minutes there. As this shuttle stops like every 20m, it took 10 minutes to the entrance of the village. There we had to pull our luggage another 10 minutes up a hill in the burning sun to get to another shuttle stop. After another 10 min drive we finally arrived nearby the ticket entrance. 50 minutes from the hotel to a place where a non-villager car was allowed to pick us up. 50 minutes of our precious holiday time and we were wet from sweating so the rest of the day wasn't fun in such a condition. Thank you for nothing Creekside Inn. This was such a bad guest experience. Don't stay here, they don't care at all about their guests. Worst experience ever in China after ~80 nights here.

We spent four nigths in the accomodation. Everything was perfect. Zhaoxing IS a wonderfull village and the perfect spot to enjoy the region around. This area IS really authentic, and this Village offers a really good balance between the rural life and the comfort to visit it. Our room had beautiful views to the rice fields. The personal was super kind and helped us a lot to organize what to do and how to move while we where there. We loved also the breakfast and the tea that they prepared for us. I would come back to Creekside Inn and I recommend It to everybody. It was a lovely experience that we will always remember.

Nothing, truly everything was perfect. We wish we would have stayed even more time!

This was one of the best hotels we stayed in China. We were warmly welcomed by the hotel owners and the very kind volunteer, who made our stay in Zhaoxing an excellent one. They made sure for everything to be confortable and smooth. We felt like at home. The view from our room was simply stunning, over the rice fields. You can go there with no hesitation !

Nothing.

The room comes with great interior and views, located at the end of the village but everywhere is within walkable distance. The staff is really helpful, and they served traditional Chinese brekkie which was so good! Some part of the building is under renovation but didn't affect much of our stay. Overall, a wonderful experience at the stay!

The hotel room has beautiful scenery, very quiet at night. The interior of the room is modern, they even have an auto-flush toilet and a small washing machine. You can even see the peaceful green mountain through the shower room window. The beds are comfortable and clean. The staff are all very friendly, nice to approach and we have a relaxed chat with them, they are very enthusiastic to recommend our local gourmet restaurant and where to take good pictures. We tried one of the restaurants they recommended, the dishes are amazingly delicious. In short, we are very satisfied with this accommodation.

Calm, comfort and hotel’s owners were very kind and so helpful.

Everything is perfect at Creekside inn hotel
