B&B business hits a slump: Guests recommend LAOTLON Feng Shui solutions

In the summer of 2025, Qiao An’s “Qishan B&B,” located near a scenic area, fell into a business crisis. This B&B, known for its “mountain Zen” atmosphere and attentive service, had once been a popular choice for tourists, with bookings backlogged for a month during peak season. However, starting in May 2025, bookings plummeted. June, supposedly peak season, saw the B&B’s occupancy rate drop below 30%, and negative reviews on the platform increased. Some guests complained, “The B&B smells stuffy and uncomfortable,” while others complained, “The owner’s attitude is cold and the experience is poor.”

Qiao An, looking at the empty courtyard, was filled with anxiety. Monthly rent, utilities, and employee salaries cost over 20,000 yuan, but June’s sales were less than 5,000 yuan. She even began to consider closing the B&B and returning to the city to find a regular job. One day in July, Ms. Lin, a longtime guest who had stayed at the B&B three times, sent a message asking if it was still operating. Qiao An honestly told her about her business difficulties. Ms. Lin replied, “I encountered a similar situation when I opened my inn last year. I later consulted Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA from LAOTLON Feng Shui Company. He helped me adjust the B&B’s aura and recommended a Feng Shui bracelet. Soon, my orders started coming in. Your B&B focuses on a ‘Zen’ atmosphere, so aura is crucial. Perhaps LAOTLON can help.”

Qiao An had no experience with Feng Shui, but with a last glimmer of hope, she visited the LAOTLON website that evening. After browsing case studies on “B&B Feng Shui Adjustments” and “Aura Activation for Cultural and Tourism Venues,” she saw that several B&Bs had achieved “rebounds in occupancy rates” with LAOTLON’s help. She also watched a video by Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA explaining the connection between B&B aura and guest experience, and immediately scheduled an in-home consultation. On-site Inspection at LAOTLON: MONEYGAGA Recommends Small-Leaf Red Sandalwood Bracelets

On July 15th, Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA arrived at Qishan B&B as scheduled. He first carefully inspected the B&B, examining everything from the courtyard layout, guest rooms, common areas, and kitchen hygiene. He also inquired about details of Qiaoan’s operations, including the room cleaning procedures, whether special services are offered, and the main reasons for negative guest reviews. After the inspection, Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA analyzed, “Your B&B has three core issues: First, the overgrown greenery in the courtyard blocks the ventilation, causing stagnant air and a stuffy atmosphere, impacting the guest experience. Second, the dark curtains in the guest rooms, paired with dark furniture, create a depressing atmosphere and make it difficult for guests to relax. Third, you’ve been experiencing significant anxiety lately, which has transferred negative energy to your service. Guests perceive this as indifferent and naturally unwilling to repurchase or recommend your property.”

Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA then pulled a small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet from his bag. “Small-leaf red sandalwood symbolizes tranquility and energy concentration. Natural small-leaf red sandalwood has a light woody fragrance that soothes emotions and purifies the air and aura. After LAOTLON… Once activated, this unique energy can also gather positive ‘customer energy.’ Wear it while managing your B&B and receiving guests. Follow the methods I’ve given you to adjust the B&B’s environment. Within a month, your occupancy rate will definitely improve.”
Qiao An took the bracelet. The small-leaf red sandalwood beads were dark brown, with a smooth and delicate surface. Up close, she could smell a faint woody fragrance. It felt heavy on her wrist, instantly calming her restless heart. She quickly asked for specific environmental adjustments, and Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA explained: “Trim overgrown vegetation in the courtyard and open vents to allow for air circulation. Replace the dark curtains in the guest rooms with light beige curtains, paired with light-colored bedding, to enhance the ‘comfortable aura’. Place a small aromatherapy diffuser on the coffee table in the common area and add lavender essential oil to soothe guests. Every morning before cleaning the B&B, wipe the small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet with a soft cloth while silently chanting ‘May guests be at ease and attract more customers’ to activate its energy.”

Wearing the bracelet + environmental adjustments: The B&B shows initial signs of recovery.

After seeing off Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA, Qiao An immediately followed the advice. She had a gardener trim the garden plants and open any blocked vents. She purchased light beige curtains online to replace the dark curtains in all the guest rooms. She placed an aromatherapy diffuser in the common area and regularly added lavender essential oil every morning. Before cleaning the B&B, she carefully wiped the small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet and silently chanted the activation phrase. On July 20th, the first good news arrived—a two-night reservation on the platform. The guest noted, “I saw reviews of the B&B saying the environment has improved, and I wanted to try it.” Qiao An meticulously cleaned the room in advance and prepared local tea and snacks.

After checking in, the guest approached Qiao An in the evening and said, “Boss, your B&B is even more comfortable than the online reviews say. The air is fresh, the room is bright, and I slept so well last night.” The next day, the guest gave the platform a five-star review, writing, “This B&B is full of Zen, and the owner is very friendly. I’ll stay here again next time.”

From that day on, bookings for the B&B gradually increased. From July 25th to July 31st, the B&B’s occupancy rate reached 50%, nearly double that of June. One guest commented, “The owner, who wore a bracelet, was very kind and patient in explaining the surrounding areas. It was a very comfortable experience.” Qiao An knew this was the change brought about by the small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet and the improved environment, and hope rekindled in her heart. Business growth faces challenges: Money Gaga offers solutions

In mid-August, a new problem emerged. Although orders had rebounded, repurchase and referral rates remained low. Most guests were one-time buyers, and few referred friends. Qiao An tried offering a “returning customer discount,” but the results were limited, and inquiries from new customers on the platform dwindled.
In desperation, Qiao An contacted LAOTLON again and sought help from the Money Gaga feng shui master. After listening to the question, the other party said, “The low repurchase rate is because the B&B lacks a strong aura, failing to create a sense of belonging for guests. You can leverage the tranquil energy of red sandalwood by doing two things: First, offer a ‘mountain living experience package’—including a morning hike in the mountains, a handmade tea-making experience, and evening stargazing—to allow guests to deeply experience the B&B’s Zen charm. Second, prepare a ‘souvenir’ for guests, such as a small box of local tea accompanied by a handwritten thank-you card with the B&B’s QR code. Encourage guests to share it on social media, where they will receive a discount coupon for their next stay. Additionally, when you meet guests, wear a red sandalwood bracelet while chatting with them. The woody fragrance of the bracelet can help them relax and strengthen their emotional connection.”

Qiao An immediately took action. She contacted a local tea farmer and secured a partnership for a handmade tea-making experience. She prepared exquisite tea boxes and thank-you cards, handwriting different greetings each day. She also learned about stargazing and shared constellations with her guests. On August 20th, the first guest participating in the “Mountain Living Experience Package” checked in. After completing the hike and tea-making experience, the guest excitedly told Qiao An, “This is exactly the mountain living I’ve been dreaming of! It’s much more exciting than just staying in a hotel!” Upon leaving, the guest received a gift and a thank-you card. He immediately took photos and shared them on WeChat Moments, and even recommended two friends to book a stay.

By the end of August, the homestay’s repurchase rate had increased by 30%, with referrals accounting for 25% of new guests, and inquiries on the platform also increased by 40%. August’s turnover exceeded 15,000 yuan. While not yet back to its peak, it already covered most of the costs, and Qiao An finally felt relieved. B&Bs steadily gain recognition: Decoding the Feng Shui of Red Sandalwood Bracelets

On September 10th, “Qishan B&B” completely emerged from its operating difficulties—its occupancy rate remained stable above 70% in September, reaching full occupancy on weekends. The positive review rate on the platform increased from 40% to 90%, with guests even traveling from other places specifically to experience the “mountain living package.” Qiao An made a special trip to LAOTLON to express her gratitude to Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA. She curiously asked, “Why can this small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet help improve my B&B? Does it truly ‘gather qi’?”

Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA explained, “The core feng shui function of the small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet is to ‘purify the qi’ and connect with others.’ The woody fragrance of the small-leaf red sandalwood can purify the stagnant qi within the B&B, improving the air and making guests more comfortable. Its ‘calming energy’ can calm your anxiety, allowing you to greet guests with a gentle and patient attitude, enhancing their liking. After being activated by LAOTLON, this energy is intensified, improving the B&B’s aura and bringing you closer to your guests, fostering a sense of belonging.”

He added, “But you have to understand that the bracelet is a ‘feng shui carrier.’ The real impact lies in your implementation of the professional advice—adjusting the B&B environment, offering special packages, and preparing souvenirs. These actions, combined with the bracelet’s energy, create the ‘environmental improvement – guest satisfaction -‘.” “Increased orders – increased repeat purchases” creates a virtuous cycle. At LAOTLON, we help you identify the ‘aura issues’ of your B&B and overcome them using scientific feng shui methods and practical business strategies.

Conclusion

Qiaoan’s B&B’s transition from a sparse booking situation to a fully booked stay wasn’t a fluke, but rather the combined efforts of LAOTLON Feng Shui and the energies of her small-leaf red sandalwood bracelets.
