Self-built house guesthouse in Tianxin Village, Hainan: Japanese minimalist style + private terrace, a truly therapeutic experience!
This time, I stayed at a self-built house guesthouse in Tianxin Village near Riyue Bay. Overall, the experience was quite good, especially suitable for couples or young people!
The room was spacious; it took about 10 minutes for the air conditioner to cool down completely. The keypad lock made check-in very convenient. The sheets and blankets were clean and fresh; Hainan's abundant sunshine not only dried them effectively but also naturally eliminated mites, making them soft and comfortable to sleep on. The room has a minimalist Japanese style and comes with a private small terrace—perfect for drying clothes, sitting and enjoying the countryside view, breathing in fresh air, and relaxing while chatting. The tatami design is very practical; there's no problem sleeping an extra adult.
The guesthouse's common areas are also highlights: the floral window decorations on the first floor are perfect for taking photos, and the owner often enjoys tea and relaxation in the courtyard with his two dogs, ”Coco” and ”Hua Hua,” creating a very relaxed atmosphere. The owner is friendly and easygoing. The guesthouse offers electric scooters for rent (though the number is limited, so it's recommended to inquire in advance). It's conveniently located about a 10-minute drive to Riyue Bay (just be aware of potential traffic jams). The village is incredibly convenient, with a medium to large supermarket for daily necessities, several bikini boutiques, and affordable food along the way—a bowl of noodles costs only around ten yuan and tastes quite good.
However, there are some minor suggestions: First, the guesthouse entrance lacks a clear sign and is somewhat hidden; adding a lighted sign would help prevent people from missing it at night. Second, there's no dedicated parking area; it's best to communicate with guests about their transportation plans beforehand, especially when there are many guests. Third, adding more dog-themed decorations would be helpful, as Coco and Hua Hua are adorable and would create a warmer atmosphere, especially since the rooms are quite large. Fourth, providing disposable toilet seat covers and toiletries would be beneficial. Fifth, the full-length mirror in the room looks like a funhouse mirror! There's actually a lot of potential for the guesthouse's success! In short, the service and atmosphere are key, and for the Riyue Bay area, this guesthouse is reasonably priced!

Guest UserThe room had a great view of the inner sea, and I really enjoyed the community-style living on Shenzhou Peninsula. I rented a small scooter to zip around the peninsula, and it made me feel completely free. A great plus in the apartment was the washing machine, which made laundry super convenient. However, a downside for me was the disposable bath and hand towels; while clean, they weren't very absorbent.

ShuizhijianfeiEvery time I go to Xinglong, I basically stay at Zhongao Hotel. The greenery and ecology of the community are great, and it has a Southeast Asian style. Each small villa also has a swimming pool, which is perfect. The nearby attractions are very close to each other if you drive a car. I mention this Let's experience it. The hygiene is pretty good and the furniture is well maintained. Although it feels a little nostalgic. The only bad thing is that the bathroom equipment is particularly showery. The water in the showerhead is small and it is difficult to take a bath because it is blocked. In addition, the swimming pool garden is recommended. Do some mosquito control, otherwise you will just bite while swimming. Well, the overall cost performance is good. If the above two points are improved, you can consider staying here for a long time.
