Sofa is quite dirty with many stains, and you can tell the B&B was in a pretty old condition looking at the toilet and interior.

The toilet for the 2 bedder was very much left to be desired.

Was mostly affected by the toilets, which didn't flush well.

Our bathroom had a problem of water leaking out from beneath the shower partition, so we feedback to the lady boss and she passed us extra floor mats, and said that they will fix it because the previous contractor didn't do a good job.

The rooms were quite dated especially the bathroom.

One thing to note would be the toilet (especially the one in the triple room), which was, frankly, old and needs work.

But bathroom can be abit cold especially the tap water.

The only negative thing is there's a sewage smell when the toilet is flushed.

We did not even wash ourselves as it’s far too cold to bathe in the toilet.

The toilet was pretty noisy after we shower.

However there were times when the water pressure was not strong when flushing.

The bed is a bit hard to our preference and the toilet calls for some revamp.

The toilets were quite dirty with spider web.. cockroach was seen inside the room.

If there is one part they could improve, it would probably be the toilet as it seems slightly old.

but not so convenient for the kids as the stairs are very steep and toilet is only at the ground.

Secondly, the bathroom was old and in need of a refurbishment.

However, I absolutely could not stand the bathroom, which shows its age in more ways than one.

Toilet could be better or use some upgrading.

.unpleasant smell, water leaking from the bathtub etc.

We had to use a small pail to pour water after using the toilet.

The supply of hot water was erratic - my partner ran out after 5 minutes in the shower as the water suddenly turned freezing.

The rooms are full of worms and bugs - does not seem to have any cleaning down.

Our room didnt have any view to speak of, and as of any outdoor resorts, you will have to used to the bugs flying around in the room as well.

When i bought up the matter, lady boss and staff commented that cockroach is such a cute animal, why will you kill it. ?

Due to location, they do not have well functioned heater and the water can be freezing cold at times.

but it was too cold to even get close to the balcony, ha.

There is no need for any air con as it is cold.

It has basic necessities and has no air conditioning as the place is already cold to begin with.

even though the outside was a cold 10 degrees.

For just the two of us, we were given a cold appetizer, steamed fish, steamed chicken (like those you get for chicken rice in Singapore), stir-fried green veg, and radish soup and of course unlimited supply of white rice!

I still prefer cotton towels that drys well, especially if the weather is cold.

The rooms are really clean, despite it being in the mountain area.

Room was clean, tidy and spacious and offers a nice view of the mountain from our balcony.

Room is clean and view is just breathtaking.

Very clean rooms of decent size, with balcony and windows for enjoying the view.

room was clean and large, view was awesome.

Overall the room is clean, balcony view is great too!

Overall, the place was clean and the room price is economical.

Something to do with the water pipe I guess.

only thing is the hot water may not be so hot so avoid bathing at night if possible.

No air-con in the room, only electric fan.

It was a major turn off for me when I first know that there's no aircon in the rooms, BUT. BUT.

It got quite cold at night and there was no heater / reversible air-con which can be a problem..

One of the heater blanket is not working.

No heater in the room though, the floor gets very cold, the whole room gets very cold,

The room is without aircond and it comes with fan only

The room is not equiped with air temperature control, so you can only switch on the fan if you feel hot or electric blanket if you are cold.

Watch out for the timings for the hot water supply, especially when it's freezing up in Cingjing!

One minus point was the water heater is only restricted to a certain timing.

The property is located at great scenic location , where clouds , moon and mist visit ur balcony.

Room with balcony is great to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

At night, you can go watch stars on the top balcony of the hotel.

room was comfy, air was fresh and we had a great view of the surrounding from our balcony.

Amazing private resort with rooms that offer really great views of CingJing (especially sunset where the sun literally sets in front of your balcony, sunset was around 5.15pm in December).

Nevertheless, you can go out to the balcony at the terrrace to enjoy the full view.

The room balcony faces west diagonally so you see the sunset pretty clear.

However, we were rewarded with a magnificent view from the balcony and at the rooftop.

The great views from the balcony compensated for the rooms' conditions.

The stay was wonderful largely because of the beautiful view right outside our balcony.

The room doesnt come cheap and it has a big balcony

The strong selling point of this home stay is its huge balcony which can be accessed by customers to see the sunset as well as the beautiful mountain scenery.

The room we stayed had a balcony overlooking the mountains and in the evening we had great view of sunset.

we had the Sagittarius room , which had a balcony facing the mountains .

The balcony offers a fantastic view of the surroundings.

though room was on level 2, there was also unblocked view from the balcony.

The best views are from the lobby's balcony.

Perfect for Taking sunset and Startrails photo right from your balcony!

but it gets really dark with absolutely no lighting.

but if walking at night, the path is really dark.

Our Taiwanese driver told us the location is not bad; as this is a mountain area so it is not advisable to stay too far up as it is difficult to get food after dark.

However, it is slightly inconvenient to go out at night as it gets dark and foggy really early in winter and the local 'mall' is a 15 minute walk in the cold in order to reach it.

However it is not recommended to walk back to hotel at night as it is really dark. 5.

we ordered the steamboat dinner instead of walking in the dark .

The Area is dark hence you can see a lot of stars at Night.

The way back to the villa is well-lighted at night (unlike other B&Bs in the area), so there's no fear of the dark or of getting lost.

but well decorated, with glow in the dark drawings of stars on the ceiling.

The path was very stony and its very dark with literally not much lighting at night.

great view on the rooftop and the open area.

One of the most attractive activity provided by the villa is the "Star Talk" which is held by the owner at 9pm on the rooftop.

What i like most is the 9pm star session conducted at the rooftop by the staff.

Most memorable part of the stay is the guided rooftop stargazing at 9pm.

At night, the owner will organise a star-gazing at roof-top for free.

BNB can help to book tour to Hehuanshan for sunrise, fixed rate at 400TWD per head 
Free stargaze tour everynight at rooftop 
Beautiful sunset right in front of their big terrace.

At night, if there's clear skies, the owner will conduct a free astronomy explanation at the rooftop.

The place is nice.. we get to c sea clouds, and every nite, there will be a guy teaching us to identify the various stars at the minsu rooftop.

The Hotel holds a nightly astronomy talk at their Star viewing Roof Top.

At the roof top the views are spectacular.

They also have a rooftop balcony, where the owner provides stargazing lessons every night.

The owner of the villa conducts a nightly "star lesson" at the rooftop.

On a good night, you can also attend a stargazing intro session conducted by the proprietor in Mandarin at the roof top of the new villa block.

The view on its roof top balcony was simply magnificence overlooking 270 degree view of miles of rolling mountains.

The room is clean and comfortable

The view is amazing from the room and if the sky is clear it will be perfect for stargazing.

Room is very clean and tidy, above my expectation.

The room was very clean and well furnished with basic amenities.

Basic room and clean toilet that what I need.

the room was clean, with a balcony which had great view too.

unblock and breathtaking view of the sunset.

Must visit place for the exclusive view from the property.

Located at the top of the mountain Qingjing, weather is cooling and view is awesome!

Star Villa is a good balance of an amazing location with awesome views without having to need a car to reach.

Imagine waking up to the morning sun with mountainous and misty view!

The morning view is stunning and the air is refreshing.

The view from the room was stunning when the day is clear.

The hotel is higher in the mountains which brings the advantage that you do not need to sleep with the noise of an airconditioning.

The view in this hotel is amazing, very relaxing.

stayed at the 3rd storey saggittarius room with unblocked view.

It’s a beautiful place with splendid view (if not for the mist).

Views from all rooms are great as they face same direction.

Still, we did enjoy the stay and the hehuan mountain sunrise tour (you can book through the villa staff

The villa was the highest on the mountain (I think) and was quite cold when we arrived there at late afternoon in winter. Rooms were fairly large and all the amenities (barh towels, shampoo, toothbrush etc.)

Our wifi recption was poor and they fixed it for us.

but did not get free wifi and no heater blanket for 1 bed.

but wifi is limited to the balcony area only.

We did not use the complimentary wifi much as the prepaid card (chunghwa telcom) we bought from airport provided mostly 4G network , even in the mountains.

but need to get router with refundable deposit.

but you can borrow an extender to connect to wifi by paying a refundable deposit NT$1000.

*Wifi signal is a bit weak inside the room.

No heater in the double room, so you have to use the aircon to keep yourself warm.

Temperature dropped to 4 deg C at night and there was no heater or electric blanket.

But feat not, they have an electric heater for the blanket which made it so comfortable.

Somehow the electric heater in the room, while looks very nice, was not very functional in both our rooms.

One problem was that it was *freezing* at night and the heater in the room was absolutely useless.

There was heater blanket only for the main Queen bed & not on the additional single bed.

Room with toiletries, hot & cold drinking water, hot shower, heater bed, balcony, natural air-con!

Almost all the other minsu don't come with heater.

I agree with the previous reviewer that the lack of a room heater was hard to manage considering we were also there in December.

However the initial disappointment dissipated as soon as i learn to use the heater and warmer blanket.

Nothing special in the room except the heater blanket which is a plus point at night

Bfast is normal stuffs

At about 5am we reached He Huan Shan and it was freezing cold, 5 degrees only and so dark!

but seriously, why do you need it when it is so cooling up in the mountains????

Most of the lights were not working, the sofa was broken and the standing fans were not working well.

There was no heater in the room and we did not know there was an electric blanket until we overheard the other guests talking about it (on our way to hot spring).

We ended up shivering at the end of our showers and it was below 10 degrees that night.

One of the few down sides is bath tub is not that stable to stand inside to have shower.

Water pressure is low, so do not throw paper into the toilet bowl as we experienced chokage in one of our quad room.

Amenities were basic and could be improved.

Also the small bath tub in the luxury double was wobbly and quite hard to shower, will actually be nice if they install shower curtains to keep the water from wetting the rest of the toilet (whereby the tiles are quite slippery).

As there was no shower curtain or separated bathing area, the bathroom floor tends to get wet.

The toilet is big with a pretty classical bathtub which is not very practical cos the floor around it will get wet after each bath.

A bath would render the whole toilet wet too.

Just wear the rubber slippers provided or shower before going out so it will be dry when you get back.

However, do take note that there may be bugs in the bathroom, as the minsu is surrounded by the forest.

No worries with moving around in the toilet.

There're 7-11, MOS Burger, Starbucks, Hotpot restaurant, Old England Café, small food stall, stall selling chocolates, limited winter wear in one of the souvenir shop, Lavender theme shop!

The only thing that I don't like is the bathroom.

This would in fact be the reason why I am only giving 4 stars for this review, as I think at least a portable room heater for the winter months would be good if they wanted to prevent abuse of usage (cingjing is a very eco area), as showering for tourists in a non-heated room is a nightmare since we aren't used to the cold.

However the bathroom could do better if more heat could be transferred to it.

The hot spring bath is not a natural setting

Location was ideal, near 7-11/Swiss Garden and walking distance to Carton King.

Forget about Canton King, the steamboat sets sucks with all the frozen food.

We booked 2 rooms (a family room & twin room for 6 of us).

but the electric blanket will keep you warm when you snuggle in bed. :)

The bed is comfortable and as we were there during winter season, it was really cold.

The bed comes with heated blanket so we were kept quite warm :) 

The place is wheelchair friendly, the stairs between their first floor (lobby), second floor (dining area) and third floor (lowest rooms) have automatic stair lift.

Had a night stay @ Misty villa where location is very convenient with just 5 minutes walk from 7-11/starbucks/mos burger and tourist attractions such as little swiss garden and cardboard king.

The room has a cosy and homely feel with heated bed.

Mingsu is conveniently located near Little Swiss Garden and Carton King.

Was given a pleasant surprise as they upgraded us to a family room with 2 big double bed when we arrived.

I had arranged for dinner with the villa during my first stay whilst I had dinner at a restaurant at another bed and breakfast this time round - find that misty dinner is more homely and preferred it!

Modern design, nice materials, mixed with jap bedding (comfortable).

The room came with 2 king sized beds, 2 pillows each person, humongous washroom, spacious balcony facing the balcony, dressing table, a very comfortable lounge chair, a coffee table and a fake fire place.

Nice sheets and really cozy.heated beds were really helpful in this cold climate.

We had booked Misty Villa because of its location, which is just a five minute walk from Little Swiss Garden and Carton King.

N being near Starbucks, means its oso near Carton King & Swiss garden (whichare just opp starbucks).

Just across road u find carton king -had dinner 1st night (spend min nt300 free tix to swiss garden).

Location is within 5 minutes walk to 7-eleven and Swiss garden.

The amenities & Small Swiss Garden are just across the road.

Opp Swiss Garden is the Recreation Centre where you can find Starbucks, Mos Burger, 7-11, dessert shops.

Good location as it is near enough to the eateries and Swiss Garden yet quiet enough for a good retreat.

Drop off at bus stop where the Little Swiss Garden is.

The minsu is located in close proximity to places of attraction like the Cingjing farm and the Little Swiss Garden.

When we reached Little Swiss Garden where we were supposed to meet, we called them up and the staff from Misty Villa agreed to pick us there in 5 minutes over the phone.

Good location near Swiss garden and other convenience shops.

Located in the vicinity of the main shopping area of Cingjing, this villa is within walking distance to 7-11, Carton King, Little Swiss Garden, MOS burger, Starbucks etc.

Another side of the road, you'll find Little Swiss Garden, Carton King Shop, Carton King Restaurant & 7-11 as well.

Location was very convenient, 5-10mins walk to the Swiss Garden & Carton King.

Can get slightly cheaper entrance ticket to Swiss Garden from Misty Villa.

Dinner was simple, nice and very adequate with a small price tag.

It fit the requirements of All, most impt is near to 7-11, mos burger as in CINGJING there’s no transport late at night

For breakfast they have a buffet, for dinner it's a fixed menu, no choice

We had a steamboat dinner at the mingsu during our first night and it is really enjoyable to have a hot steamboat in the cold weather.

Dinner and breakfast provided for the one night stay.

They even have baby walkers for the babies to use, baby bath tub and prepared porridge for my baby’s dinner.

Paid for dinner option & I highly recommend it, and it was quite a feast!

We have a free dinner as well and the dinner was sumptuous!

They even provided us with a sumptuous dinner as returning guests, & free ticket to the Skywalk.

Location is excellent - near to the foodie places such as 7-11, mos burger and starbucks. Only setback is it is located up slope and you have to be be prepared to climb (a lot of stairs!)

Minsu is conveniently located near 7-11 and eateries which makes it very convenient to have your meals.

This minsu is located very near to 7-11, Mos Burger & food outlets.

Gave good advice for things to do around the area, places to eat, etc.
