Hakka Earth House Guest House Reviews

Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing to stay at Santingjing Hakka Tulou Homestay and for taking the time to share your experience! We are pleased to hear that you found the overall stay "okay," and we also value your two valuable suggestions. Regarding children's identification: We understand the hassle of preparing identification documents when traveling with children. It's important to note that according to mandatory regulations from the national public security authorities, all guests (regardless of age) must register with their real names and present valid original identification documents (such as ID cards, household registration books, passports, etc.). This is to ensure the authenticity of check-in information and public safety, and the homestay must strictly adhere to these regulations. We ask for your understanding of our difficulties. In the future, if needed, we recommend that you prepare relevant valid identification documents for your children when traveling. Regarding the 2 PM check-in time: We sincerely apologize for your feedback regarding the "limited negotiation time." Setting 2 PM as the standard check-in time is primarily to ensure sufficient time for thorough cleaning, disinfection, and inspection of the rooms, guaranteeing the quality of your stay. We understand you may wish to check in earlier. Subject to availability and early cleaning, our front desk staff will do their best to coordinate an earlier check-in for you. Your feedback reminds us that there is still room for improvement in our communication and flexibility. We will carefully review our procedures and strive to provide more friendly service to guests who need it, while ensuring the cleanliness of our rooms. Thank you again for your honest feedback and understanding! Your opinions are a great motivation for us to improve our services. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide you with a more satisfying stay. Wishing you and your family a pleasant stay! Sincerely, Santingjing Hakka Tulou Homestay Team

Response from Property: Reading your poetic praise amidst the azure hues of the past seems to transport us back to the swaying melodies of blue-and-white porcelain. 💖 It is our greatest honor to have truly conveyed to you the tranquil haven we painstakingly created, the modern warmth integrated into the fabric of this century-old building, and the ambiance that evokes a sense of lingering contemplation, like stepping back into the era of blue-and-white porcelain, and to have received such a profound resonance! Your lingering desire to return is the highest praise for this space, and the expectation of a return visit is the deepest trust you have placed in us.

Response from Property: To be able to weave a time of soft comfort under the eaves guarded by generations is our greatest joy. The old beams and pillars of the Three Halls Well hold half a history of its construction. The patterns on the copper locks you touch, the newly cut bamboo branches in a vase on the table—all are subtle expressions of the owner's dedication to replicating Hakka "family rituals." As you fall asleep with a brocade quilt woven with moonlight, this earthen building breathes with the rammed earth of six hundred years, softly saying: This is what true friendship is all about.

Response from Property: Reading your words capturing the dawn and dusk of the Tulou is our warmest reward this autumn. Every black tile and every latticed window in the San Ting Jing (Three Halls Well) is the result of years of meticulous craftsmanship by the manager. The koi you encountered during your stroll, the ferns peeking out from the cracks in the bluestone slabs, are the most vivid annotations of this garden. You said, "Everywhere is a scene," but the most beautiful scenery is for those who know how to appreciate it. We look forward to when the wind and snow blanket the road, and we will stand by the stone steps in the parking lot with lanterns, and once again lift the curtain of dewy tea fragrance for you.

Response from Property: Dear guest, your detailed review warmed our hearts like a gentle moonlight. 🌙 Thank you for sharing your accommodation experience so vividly; every detail is precious to us! Your mention of "two skylights upstairs, allowing you to watch the moon while sleeping" is truly the part that made us happiest! When designing the duplex, we deliberately preserved the original skylight structure of the Hakka Tulou, wanting our guests to lie in bed counting stars and watching the moon, transforming the "courtyard culture" of the Hakka Tulou into the most romantic living experience. Hearing that you liked this design makes us feel even more fulfilled! Regarding your suggestion that "the standing air conditioner is too close to the bed," we have taken it very seriously! The wall-mounted air conditioner you mentioned is indeed more suitable for the comfort needs of the sleeping area. We will communicate with the engineering team as soon as possible to adjust the layout in future room optimizations, making the air conditioner's airflow gentler and its location more thoughtful. Your feedback is like moonlight, illuminating the details of our rooms even brighter! The details you noticed—disposable bath towels, face towels, toothbrush cups, and the shared refrigerator—are all ways we wanted to convey the warmth of a "home away from home." We provided disposable towels in case guests felt uncomfortable sharing; we offered toothbrushes whenever needed; and the refrigerator at the front desk is convenient for storing fruit and drinks—we were incredibly touched that you noticed these small details! Finally, we must praise our owner; he must be rubbing his hands together with delight to hear you praised him for being "always responsive." His enthusiasm is the guesthouse's "living advertisement"—helping you with small needs makes him happier than anything else. We look forward to your next visit, staying in an even more comfortable room, and lying under the skylight together watching the fuller moon! 🌙 Feel free to "come home" anytime; we'll have some Lei Cha (a traditional tea dish) waiting for you! 😊

Response from Property: 【Santingjing Hakka Tulou Homestay】A warm reply: Dear guest, your positive review is sweeter than the persimmons dried in autumn in Tingzhou! 🍂🛏️【Comfortable Nest】You praised the cleanliness of the room and the comfort of the bed. Our cleaning lady has finally paid off! She kneels to scrub the floor every day, not even missing the crevices under the bed, just so you can fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow and sleep as soundly as a Hakka grandfather snoring~🚴♀️【Worry-Free Travel】You mentioned the convenience of the tram and the ease of parking. This is a "thoughtful package" that the landlady has been working on for half a year! No worries about going far, she'll drive you around in her seven-seater car as your personal driver, and she'll even reimburse your parking fees, so you can easily explore Tingzhou! 🍜【Foodie Perks】No breakfast is a small regret, but the surrounding area is full of hidden culinary gems! The lantern cake and pickled pork kidneys you tried are techniques that Grandma secretly learned when she was young. Next time, we'll take you on a "street food tour" of these time-honored establishments! Next time you come, just call out, "Sister, is the car ready?" We'll leave you with the softest pillow, the sweetest smile, and a whole bunch of newly found travel tips waiting for you! 🚗 Santingjing Tulou—your "heartwarming old house" in Tingzhou! —From the owner and her family (P.S. With this positive review, you'll receive handmade ginger candy + a free tram ride for the first day!)🎁

Response from Property: Dear Guest, thank you for your thoughtful review of Santingjing Hakka Tulou Homestay! We are all delighted to see you had a wonderful time and a comfortable stay. Regarding the highlights you mentioned, we are especially happy: 1️⃣ Electric Scooter Freedom: The affordable price of 60 RMB/day truly allows for more flexible travel. Seeing that you enjoy this "free-spirited" exploration style, we will continue to maintain and charge the vehicles! 2️⃣ Warm Service: The staff are thrilled to hear your "enthusiastic" feedback! It's our honor to add warmth to your trip! 3️⃣ Quiet Experience: The location near the hospital (which relocated to a new campus in March and is currently vacant) unexpectedly became a plus! Your mention of "quiet amidst the hustle and bustle" further confirms our belief in the unique advantages of our location. 4️⃣ Location: Being within a 10-minute walk of the Tulou cluster is incredibly convenient, and the on-call electric scooter service saves guests a lot of energy! Your comment that the hygiene was "acceptable" has given us special attention. We've held a special meeting to improve our cleaning standards and will increase the frequency of room disinfection and post notices about linen changes. We welcome your feedback at any time! Thank you again for your recommendation! We look forward to welcoming your family and friends to experience our Hakka Lei Cha (pounded tea) activity next time. We'll reserve the room with the best view for you then! 🌿Sincerely, All the Staff of San Ting Jing

Response from Property: Dear friend, your words are more comforting than the evening breeze over the Tingjiang River! 🌙🏯【The Charm of Tulou】You like characteristic homestays, so you've come to the right place! Our old Tulou are "living fossils" built by the Hakka people using glutinous rice paste, bamboo strips, and stories. The carved bed you sleep in and the bluestone slabs you walk on might even hold the dreams of generations! 🧹【Home-like Cleanliness】You praised the "cleanliness and tidiness," but that's the standard Grandma tested with her silver bracelet! From the cracks in the carved wooden windows to the nooks and crannies of the earthen walls, even the mouse holes were fumigated with mugwort three times, just to make you feel more comfortable than at home! 🚶♂️【Prime Location in the Ancient City】You said the location is good? That's the Tulou's golden signboard! Turn left after exiting and you'll find Diantou Street, and a ten-minute stroll will take you to Jichuan Gate. Want to visit Wolong Academy? Grandpa's pipe will guide you! Want to try the lamp cake? Grandma's apron is holding freshly cooked tea! Next time you come, remember to knock on the door and call out, "Sister, is the Lei Cha still hot?" We've saved you a rattan chair under the courtyard, and we have a whole host of Hakka folk songs to sing for you! 🎶Santingjing Tulou, looking forward to continuing our Tingzhou connection with you again~—From the entire "family" of Santingjing

Response from Property: Wow! You grasped the essence of the Three Halls Well at a glance! Thank you for your appreciation of the unique features of Hakka Tulou! During the renovation of the old house, we deliberately preserved the carved beams and pillars, and the rammed earth walls that are warm in winter and cool in summer, hoping to allow every guest to feel the warmth of history. Your recognition strengthens our belief that upholding tradition is worthwhile! You are always welcome back to explore more hidden corners of the Tulou!
