Homestays in Guangxi, China

As a senior peer, I cried for the first time when I left the store, and I was not willing to live in this kind of homestay, as well as bosses and proprietress like friends. Thanks to the boss and the proprietress for creating this home with their heart, and the hospitality with their heart. Every angle of the homestay shows their thoughts. I don’t stay enough in every place. This is my spiritual journey. I have been here for four days and stayed at the homestay for two days. There is a reservoir nearby to watch the sunset. You can watch the stars at night on the roof, and you can see the sunrise earlier. It is enough for me as a lazy person. The nearby villa is very close to eating, within walking distance, good products, and very clean and affordable. When ordering food, Miss Sister reminded me that group purchase is enough. I will come back in the next year.

Clean cosy room, awesome pool, stunning cute little village, with staff around that is super ready to help out with your every question. Though a bit far from the city of Guilin and the Yangshuo sceneries, you could still go there by cap or just experience the many available little handcraft courses in the village itself. All in all, nothing negative to remark, and a big recommend for anyone who wants to escape the rush of city life! Small tip though: keep in mind that the local restaurants may have to be booked up to a few hours in advance, which the hotel staff can arrange for you 👍

Shanshui Xianju is located in the Haokun Lake Scenic Area. The hotel has a superior geographical location. You can go to Fisherman's Wharf (cruise boat dock) from the lakeside plank road and the main traffic road in front of the hotel. You can also walk along the village road behind the hotel for about 15-20 minutes to reach the mountain plank road and lake plank road to enjoy the beautiful lake and mountain scenery. During the trip, I also observed the B&Bs along the lake. I feel that Shanshui Xianju should be the best B&B in terms of style, facilities, hygiene, food, etc. The tea served in the hotel rooms is very good. Of course, quality and price are directly proportional, and the room rates at Shanshui Xianju should be relatively high. If I have the chance to go there again, I will choose ”Shanshui Xianju”.

Quanyun Mountain Residence is in a great location. There is a place to take bamboo rafts right at the door. Turn right and walk for a few minutes to reach the back door of the scenic area. The essence of Equan is near the back door. The room was clean and comfortable, very quiet, and the price was reasonable for the off-season. There is an elevator, which is more convenient for the elderly. I booked a river view room. In fact, this place is not near the river, so the view room is not very meaningful, and other room types may be more cost-effective. The store clerk service was good. The breakfast noodles are delicious.

This was a local hotel that was situated on a peak facing Jinfoding (Golden Buddha Peak), so note it’s not on Jinfoding itself but still in the same area of Jinkeng Dazhai. I hired a driver via the hotel to fetch me from Guilin Airport to the hotel. Journey took about 3 hours using local roads, if you can somehow negotiate with your driver to take the expressway from the airport, it will be about an hour shorter and less scenic but also less nauseating. Access to hotel is pretty limited unless you hire a driver or you drive. If you take the bus from Guilin downtown/Airport, it will only alight you at the Dazhai parking lot, and you still need to make transport arrangements to get to the hotel within the scenic area (anywhere between 20-40min drive) but the boss is helpful and very contactable (phone call or wechat). I wouldn’t recommend walking to the hotel cos it is situated at the top of a pretty steep hill and it is a one-car lane that goes both ways with many blind spots. At the hotel, you could choose to walk and hike the terraces to other viewpoints in Jinkeng, but note that the routes will be very long and exhausting. If you plan to visit other villages like Ping An Zhai, it’s about an hour’s drive away on mountain roads, and it’s best if you hire a driver as well. Overall, room was very clean and spacious and was true to trip.com description and pictures. Very comfortable, clean and scenic stay! Shower and toilet are separate and clean. There’s a bathtub situated right behind the bed, they provided disposable bathtub liner if you want to use it. Hotel is situated near one of the viewpoints in Jinkeng, but it was very misty on the day I hiked. From what I could make out through the mist, the views seem pretty epic. View from the room is great and the boss provided a welcome sweet rice wine drink with lunch which was great! The boss gave me some luohanguo as a souvenir when I checked out! Did I also mention, breakfast provided included a jar of fresh warm soy milk and a delicious bowl of rice noodles made to order! Will stay again in future!

My partner and I recently stayed at this charming hotel, and we were absolutely captivated by the serene beauty and comfort it offered. Our room boasted a breathtaking view, framed beautifully by a unique circular window that provided an almost panoramic view of lush, rolling hills and well-maintained terraces. The room itself felt brand new, with spotless amenities and a quiet atmosphere that made our stay exceptionally peaceful. The hotel's cozy decor, especially the inviting hammock and the well-appointed deck, allowed us to relax deeply while soaking in the stunning vistas. Each meal we enjoyed at the outdoor dining area was accompanied by picturesque scenery, making every dining experience memorable. The location proved ideal for exploring nearby attractions, and the hotel staff were incredibly accommodating, facilitating hassle-free transport from the train station and to various local spots. Their service was attentive and truly made us feel at home. Adding to the charm was a friendly dog who often accompanied us, making our explorations around the hotel even more delightful. For couples seeking a tranquil getaway with homely comforts and exceptional views, this hotel is a perfect choice.

The location is very convenient if you want to go to the ancient town of Huangyao opposite. For the homestay, there is a dedicated parking space. It is quite good to have an elevator up and down. It is not necessary to be annoyed. It is not refundable if you book in advance. There are many rooms on the day of arrival and the price is a lot cheaper. It is a bit uncomfortable. Huangyao Ancient Town on holidays is very general, and I can't see where the ticket price is worth it. Trip.com Booking tickets is more expensive than buying at the homestay, it is recommended to buy them again. It is not recommended to choose the room on the roof of the star room, you can see the content of the room upstairs.

The stay at SYYF was one of the best hotels I’ve ever been to. The room is cozy and spacious, with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows with a great view of the mountains. It’s also a hi tech smart room with a voice controlled assistant, Xiaodu, that can control the lights and open/shut the curtains (though it only understands Chinese). There’s also a cute tea set which is great for relaxing by the window. The room is equipped with AC and heat that works great, and the lights can go from bright to a dimmer evening mode, as well as sleep. We also got complimentary sodas, extremely cozy robes and nice house shoes for lounging. The breakfast is served 8-10AM is was definitely one of the best we have experienced in China while traveling. It was robust and offered both regional and western cuisine. There is a lot of ongoing construction on the street that the property is on so be careful. It may be a bit of traffic congestion due to large machines, however the noise was not heard from our room. It might be challenging for Didi drivers to access but there are also e-scooters for rent for about 30 yuan per day. The hotel is surrounded by mountains which are lit up at night for a gorgeous landscape at any time. The welcome photoshoot was fun, with traditional clothes you can borrow. We spent about 30-45 minutes using different props across 3 locations on the property, and got tons of photos that we loved. The staff is so accommodating and responsive and they helped with every little question. The bring lots of thoughtful small pleasantries which added a special touch and made us feel very cherished. They also offered a free shuttle for our departure ride to the train station at the end of our stay. We came in early January and the weather was chilly at night and pleasant during the day. With a jacket it’s not too bad and on a sunny day it’s pleasant with a cool breeze. We had a massage too, which you can order to your room or go to the spa which is close, and they provide shuttle service. The massage was good but a bit pricey even with the 50% off. There are less expensive places in the town not too far away. West street is a popular tourist spot which is also close, about 15-20 minutes away by e-scooter. There’s plenty of shopping, restaurants and a little night life, but we didn’t go out during this trip. 10/10 experience and I would definitely recommend staying here! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when I come back to Yangshuo, and this place makes you REALLY want to come back!

It is really a city in the sky, with a wide view. I lazily drink tea in the room and look directly at the magnificent terraces. The scenery is beautiful! The hotel rooms are comfortably and uniquely decorated. I especially like the mini multifunctional book bar, where I read, make tea, and brew coffee. Occasionally, I look up at the unobstructed view of the thousand-level terraces outside the window. I have been so comfortable these two days! The hotel service is also very thoughtful, and the personalized service covers all aspects. Because it is located on the top of the mountain, the road is rugged and difficult. The hotel is very considerate to send a car to lead the way and carry the luggage. For the farther attractions, the hotel takes the safety of the guests into consideration and takes the initiative to arrange vehicles to take the guests to see the scenery. It is very good 👍 In short, the city in the sky is worthy of its name, and I will come again! Check-in from March 6 to 8, 2025!

When I first arrived in Guilin, I stayed at the Longji Terraces Meitu Panorama Hotel when I arrived in Longsheng. The hotel has a luxurious appearance and a clean and bright interior. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling large glass windows provide a panoramic view of the terraced fields. As a poem says: Living in Meitudian, you can see the mountains and small mountains at a glance. The hotel integrates catering, entertainment and leisure, with complete hardware facilities and delicious food. Everyone can visit here!
