This property caters for chinese tourists looking to binge all weekend! Does not reflect Hyatt standards in any way
Didn't like: Absolutely massive. Drunken tourists all over, very loud. Concierge services inexistant. No understanding of English. Poor food quality and dishes. Left 14 hours after arrival to Intercontinental which has excellent standards, very kind and helpful staff.
Liked: Nothing

Not Up to Five-Star Standards
Liked: My recent stay at Jinmao Purelax Lijiang was unfortunately disappointing and did not meet five-star expectations. The check-in process took around 20–30 minutes and was handled by an inexperienced staff member. There was no acknowledgment of my World of Hyatt membership. I also encountered multiple issues during check-in. The Wi-Fi did not work, my prior request for a children’s room setup was not arranged, and the room type was changed without explanation. Most concerning, I upgraded to a suite which included breakfast, yet I was incorrectly informed that neither of my rooms included breakfast. The staff was unable to verify the booking properly and only confirmed after checking with a manager. There was also no proper introduction to the hotel facilities or layout, which is not expected from a property of this level. In addition, concierge service was unavailable when needed, and I had to wait and actively look for assistance. The payment process was also inconvenient, as the hotel did not have sufficient change for cash payments and asked me to use alternative payment methods instead. The only positive experience was the shuttle driver, who was helpful and provided useful inform

Fantastic View BUT Unprofessionaly Run!
Liked: You would expect more from a resort of this caliber, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing stay for our family's annual trip. Don't get me wrong, the views at the resort were spectacular, but the overall experience was marred by unprofessional service. It certainly didn't meet the standards of a 5-star resort.

Questions
Why read the bad reviews first?
A high average can hide a minority of bad stays. Hotel Mystays Asakusa in Tokyo has a guest rating of 8.1 out of 10, yet 89 of its 941 reviews since October 2024 are 1–2 star: about 1 in 11 stays went badly enough to say so. The rating alone doesn't tell you that, or what went wrong.
Summaries can soften complaints too. In July 2026 the consumer group Which? found AI review summaries on a large travel site describing hotels as spotless while guests reported illness, and advised reading the one-star reviews. This page shows them directly.
Where do the reviews come from?
From our booking partner LiteAPI: guests who booked through Nuitée, plus Tripadvisor reviews. We read up to 1,000 reviews from the last 24 months, newest first. A 1–2 star review is a score of 4 or less out of 10, and the share is counted out of all those reviews, so you can tell a few bad stays among hundreds from a pattern.
Are reviews edited or translated?
The text is the guest's own. Reviews written in another language show an English translation where we have one, with the original one tap away; the others have a link to translate them. Complaint topics, such as noise or cleanliness, are counted with plain word lists from the English text, so every number matches the reviews you can read. Reviewer names are not shown.
Can a hotel pay to remove a review?
No. No hotel can pay to remove a review or to rank higher on Staylist. Staylist earns a commission only if you book through its link, and you pay nothing extra.
Why does a hotel have no reviews?
Not every hotel has reviews from our partner yet. Small and new hotels are often missing, and coverage is lower in mainland China. When that happens we suggest nearby hotels that do have reviews.
How does asking my AI work?
The buttons open your assistant with a question and a link to a plain page of the hotel's reviews, which assistants can read. You can also paste the sentence yourself, for example: What do the bad reviews of Hotel Mystays Asakusa say? https://staylist.world/reviews?hotel=Hotel+Mystays+Asakusa. The link is a plain page of the hotel's reviews that assistants can read.
In Claude you can also add Staylist once and ask about any hotel without a link: open Settings, then Connectors, add a custom connector named Staylist World with the address https://staylist.world/mcp. Developers can also call /api/hotels/{id}/reviews?filter=bad.
