Dali Daoshe Hotel

What do you think the life of a homestay owner should be like?

Playing with flowers and grass every day, hugging a lovely cat and greeting strange guests are completely a "quiet time".

It doesn't have to be like this.

Coke is such a post-90 s homestay proprietress. Young, she loves to play and is lively. She found that she could make more friends through the homestay, so she became the proprietress today.

"I study architecture, so when I choose a residence for my trip, I will unconsciously consider some decoration styles and architectural styles of my residence as a reference for my work."

Later, an experience in Chengdu completely aroused Coke's enthusiasm and interest in the hotel.

The homestay you choose is very comfortable to live in, and the unexpected harmony with the landlady always makes Coke yearn for the life of new friends. So Coke decided to try a new way of life after weighing its own conditions-to be the proprietress of an inn!

"It turns out that the idea only takes one second, but it is still difficult to implement."

"I just started to be a homestay in my hometown of Nanchang, and I haven't thought much about this trip. Later, when B&B was completed in Erhai Lake, I slowly began to realize that the work of the boss's wife did not seem as relaxed and happy as I thought. "

"Although the property right of this house by the Erhai Lake is our own, it took a year to decorate it just before it was renovated!"

Coke wants every detail to be perfect, so it always follows the construction site meticulously and controls the overall situation.

The design style of the room is log style, and the wood was bought from Vietnam and shipped back to China. Coke ingeniously added a lot of local elements of Erhai Lake in Dali, and also rushed to Jianchuan to buy needed materials. Sometimes when you buy large pieces of log furniture, you have to worry about how to transport it into the room. During the whole process, Coke didn't realize the pleasure of being the boss's wife, so she first realized the boss's "worry".

Fortunately, there were only a few bumps and no big accidents, and Coke successfully became the proprietress of Erhai Lake.

She gave her homestay a poetic name: rice shed, where rice is homophonic, and shed is the residence. Autumn in Dali is beautiful, and the whole paddy field is golden yellow. At first glance, you will feel good.

"I hope that people who come here to play can come and play happily and go back happily."

In the face of Cangshan Erhai Lake and boundless beauty, hospitable proprietress and unique log-style seascape villa, almost no one will say "bad".

Slowly, Coke's homestay has been in operation for a year. Every day, she meets more and more people in the shop and makes more and more friends.

At night, the coke house becomes lively, and everyone's laughter can infect the whole Erhai Lake. In the face of introverted and shy guests, Coke will also try to enliven the atmosphere. When you are too busy to fly, Coke will try to find a suitable drinking partner for the guests who are alone.

Occasionally, when not busy, Coke always sits down and chats with people who come from all over the world. Some friends who have lived for a long time and get along well with each other will even send their own specialties to coke after returning home. Recently, a guest from Inner Mongolia sent authentic Inner Mongolia mutton to Coke after returning to China.

This experience made Coke feel the warmth and love of this society.

"It's been a long time, and it's not that I haven't met ridiculous guests."

Coke's homestay provides shuttle service, but this shuttle station does not include the train station. Because there are often no conspicuous places to meet strangers in the train station, and it is difficult to find parking spaces in the train station. Sometimes, if you are not careful, you may make some traffic mistakes.

That day, a young couple who had booked a room asked Coke to go to the railway station to get it. Coca-Cola happens to work nearby. Faced with the young couple's request, she hesitated and agreed. After all, it is on the way, and the other party is also a young man who is not far from Wan Li to play here. Coke thinks he can give a hand when he is away from home.

"The process of getting along is very pleasant. I recommended them places suitable for couples to play. When they finished playing, they all said they were glad you came. "

When in public areas at night, boys may want to show themselves in front of their beloved girls, so talking is still a bit ostentatious. Faced with such a funny scene, coke was confused and sent a fruit bowl to the young couple.

Unexpectedly, after the young people left, the evaluation of their homestay on the website was out of thin air and the score was very low.

Low score has almost a decisive influence on the operation of the hotel, so Coke can't help but ask, and want to know where it is not doing well. It is hoped that the other party can not only modify the evaluation, but also listen to opinions and improve itself.

I didn't expect the other party to speak ill of it for a long time, and finally found a reason that "it is not convenient enough to travel around Erhai Lake" to prevaricate.

Erhai Lake is so big, how can you visit it easily? This makes coke laugh and cry, but it is helpless.

But fortunately, such things are only a few. As a lucky girl who loves to laugh, most of the guests she meets are very nice people.

This also made her grateful.

"I became attached to B&B when I traveled to Naoshima, Japan many years ago."

At that time, she booked a room on the popular Airbnb abroad. After some operations, she did not fully understand the process. Fortunately, I also booked a place happily on the way. Although it was a bit confusing, I also encountered many new and interesting things.

Claudine's B&B is an ordinary house on Zhidao Road. The landlord is an old man in his sixties. By the time Coke arrived, there were already several tourists here. They gathered here in different ways.

There is an American girl who volunteers here, tourists from France and other parts of Europe, and an old landlord who has lived in Naoshima for many years. On that day, everyone gathered in the yard to chat, and Coke happened to meet and joined the ranks.

Everyone has a chance to express themselves. They may not agree with each other's views, but they will respect each other's expression. This way makes coke feel novel and interesting, and the joy of making new friends completely fills her heart.

Finally, when I left, some accidents happened.

"Because I am not familiar with the software Airbnb, I thought I had already paid the room rate by tying the credit card. As a result, when I was leaving, the landlord said that I had not paid the house fee. "

At this time, the landlord, the old gentleman, was driving and slowly sent coke to the way out of here by boat.

This makes coke awkward and fresh. Facing a stranger who didn't pay, the landlord accepted it. It can be seen that Coke really won't use Airbnb's payment process, and the landlord is not harsh.

Later, the old man drove to the bank ATM with coke to withdraw money, paid the room rate and sent her away.

"It turns out that this is B&B. It turns out that travel can also have such an episode. It turns out that B&B can also collide with such a spark."

Everything makes coke gradually curious about this strange field.

Later, when traveling intermittently, Coca-Cola was also happy to choose B&B accommodation.

Although the requirements for living conditions are not very high when traveling, I at least want to live happily and comfortably and find a place I like.

With the accumulation of B&B experience, Coke feels more and more that sometimes B&B will bring him a better accommodation experience. The same place to rest, the hotel will only make her feel rigid, while B&B is a gathering place with lively vitality.

Although I am worried about B&B now, Coca-Cola has not stopped.

She will still keep the habit of going to at least two strange places every year, which is a rule she has set for herself. Even if she is busy, has no time to go out to play, has not done a good job in strategy, and is in a daze, Coke will complete this rule before the end of that year.

However, for coke, it is not necessarily a bad thing to have no idea where you are going. It is easy to be surprised and the trip is full of surprises.

However, there are occasional accidents. On one occasion, Coke was scheduled to see the Aurora and needed to take an American cruise to get there. But at that time, Coke's visa was one day late and he had to stop in Canada, so the ticket was wasted.

But with the idea that "everything is here", Coke went to Niagara Falls in Montreal. Although I missed the aurora, I met other beautiful scenery, which is another gain of this trip!

Sometimes Coke will find a suitable hotel in China as a model for its own study and reference. I am still a newcomer in the hotel industry, and I still have a lot to learn.

But Coke didn't feel "a long way to go". She is doing her favorite job. Although she works hard, she feels very happy.

What will life be like in the future? Coke doesn't know it, but she will still be by Erhai Lake, waiting for the next sunrise.
