It’s good, but did not see any staff. I just pick up the key in the reception area without staff upon check in.
It’s in the town proper.
No staff around.

厨房窗外看到美丽的雪山风景。
在小镇中心，wiki的旁边。工作人员非常热情，两个男士闲暇之余擦玻璃、房梁、打理这个住宿。Wi-Fi很好，客厅宽敞明亮、房间床铺干净，有暖气。厨房餐具非常齐全。我很喜欢旅舍里的狗狗，超级可爱，也不叫，吃饭时他会安静的陪伴我身边，太可爱了。房间入睡很安静。有小巴士可以前往徒步冰山脚下的公园每个人往返车票15元。

Payment & property

Paid when you book, not at the desk.

Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.

The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.

Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. A deposit may be required at the property.

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about Glow Worm Accommodation

What time is check-in and check-out at Glow Worm Accommodation?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Glow Worm Accommodation allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Glow Worm Accommodation?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Glow Worm Accommodation have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Glow Worm Accommodation have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Glow Worm Accommodation?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
