Homestays in Guangxi, China

I really loved Zen Tea House! The location of the hotel was nice, there were a lot of shops around. The service was good, the cooperation with the coffee shop is great! The service was lovely, I got a free upgrade! Most of all though I really loved the room! It was spacious and the view on the river was amazing! The bath tub was amazing to relax it. I'd come back anytime I'm back in Guilin!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Boutique hotel. They offer a tea set in the rooms as well as the tea lounge. The location was perfect for walking around Guilin and seeing beautiful attractions such as the sun & moon pagoda towers. The price was excellent. Right across the street there is shopping galore and tons of street food vendors. The fruit in Guilin is amazing.

For only 100 RMB, I got a private room complete with toiletries and en suite bathroom. Everything is clean. The location is a walkable distance to Guilin Railway Station. I arrived at Guilin West and took the No. 22 bus and stopped at Nan Men Qian Nan. I walked 300 meters moving forward. Before the first crossing, turn right. Walk some more 200 meters or so and the hostel is located to the right next to food shops. You might get confused though if you booked this in English. The name that appears on Trip.com is Guilin Guanghu Inn while in Agoda it is Travel Light Guilin. The hostel's building has the Guanghu Inn in Chinese characters and then Travel Light written in English. So yes, it's one and the same. The hostel is only a few minutes away to the two rivers and four lakes. It only costed me 9 RMB via Didi (like a Grab or Uber app). The reception serves good coffee too! Basic breakfast of two eggs, three slices of bacon, two pieces of toast, and a cup of coffee is pegged at 28 RMB. The best part? Jerry and Jennifer! They are so delightful to speak with because they always are open to help out with that signature courteous and friendly manner. It was my first time in Guilin. I have a feeling I will visit again because of Guilin Guanghu Inn/Travel Light Hostel.

The room was nice, dry and not humid. Close to West Street and very cost-effective. The two young guys at the front desk provided very good service and were patient enough to help carry the luggage to the room. I even got a few extra bottles of free mineral water to drink.

A truely fabulous stay at this hotel. Conveniently located a short taxi ride from Xijie town (and its wonderful and vibrant West Street), the hotel's setting provided superb scenery and total tranquility. The staff we extremely polite and helpful, and our 2-bedroom suite exceptionally comfortable and clean. The only areas for possible improvement would be a stronger wifi signal and a table and comfortable reclining chair in the main room. Otherwise a perfect stay and highly recommended.

Let’s talk about the location of the B&B first! I think it's relatively quiet near Shili Gallery, at least much quieter than the one on West Street. Secondly, I think the style of the entire B&B is particularly suitable for taking photos, especially on the roof. to the sunset, and the environment of the room is also very clean and large! Including the staff here, they are all very enthusiastic. When they saw us carrying our suitcases, the ladies rushed over to help us carry our suitcases. I felt very heart-warming, and they even upgraded our room for free! There is also free afternoon tea, snacks, etc. All in all, it is a very good experience! ! No excuses... the price is quite right, highly recommended... The interior environment of the room also surprised us at first glance, and then I even took a video to share with you!

Our room was lovely on the 3rd floor with a lovely view of the mountains of Yangshou . Very spacious, clean and got clean daily . Provided with everything needed . The hotel location was the best ! In front of the the river a block away from the Main Street , first floor had a restaurant, you could order on your room and reception tell you to come down when your table was ready . All personal was friendly and helpful. We book some tours with them too all totally worth it ! We had a great time we will definitely stay again .

I absolutely loved this hotel. The view was beautiful from our room and the location was perfect. Right next to the reed flute caves and delicious Guilin rice noodles 5 minutes away. I was able to take a bamboo raft ride on the lake outside the hotel and the staff were just perfect. Melody’s English was great she was super helpful, all the staff were very helpful. I loved my stay here and they helped us carry all our heavy luggage down into the taxi as well. 10/10 just great. Oh!!! And do not forget to take out the bicycles for a ride!! The hotel lent them to us for free. There is a bicycle trail super close to the hotel that leads all around the town and it was by far my favourite experience in Guilin. The scenery was just amazing.

I liked this hostel should have stayed longer meny cute cats they hade citens when i was there cheap hostel good beds toilet and shower wery helpful front desk they speak wery good englich and know the local area good location close to the railway staision and buss terminal

Really beautiful hotel in a really good location. The room and common areas were very clean and also pretty. There is a really good cafe inside with delicious teas and the breakfast is great too. The staff is really kind and attentive, they helped us with any requests or questions we had. There is also a cute cat to keep you company. One of the best hotels we’ve been to in China. Thank you from Italy!!

The service is first-rate. The decoration and hardware of the breakfast room are very good, with an American pastoral style. I missed my luggage when I was catching the high-speed train, and the staff took the initiative to contact me to mail it to me. Because it was the off-season, the lady at the front desk also upgraded my room type for free. Such a good B&B is really recommended. A small road can reach Jima Pier in a few minutes' walk.

This place is absolutely magical. Me and my friends drank coffee on the roof every morning, the views are stunning. Lily the host is just an immaculate human being with a wonderful heart made of gold. She was so helpful with finding all the crags and good local food! The place has a real character that should not be missed out on! This was the perfect place to meet other climbers and get connected to the community in Yangshuo. The location is perfect for access to good food and good routes. I climbed every day but one! She has scooters, guidebooks and rental gear if needed. The place is legendary! 10/10 would book again! Thanks for the great time!

The hotel has several buildings in a high-end villa area. The environment is very good, backed by a mountain, hidden and quiet, very clean and hygienic, and the reception is very enthusiastic. It is 2~4km away from the lively places to eat on West Street. We rented a battery car and it was quite convenient to get in and out. This room has a bathtub. The bed is also very comfortable and large. Looking out the window is the hotel's cafe. The decoration is as high-end as the picture, not low. It has a sense of design. But it is closed on Mondays. We didn't try the cafe this time. We came in the off-season and the price is considered mid-to-high-end. I hope the hotel can have some welcome fruits like other B&Bs, or provide breakfast to make customers feel better. There is a big slope at the door, and it is still a bit tiring to walk in and out.

This hotel is worth writing a review. The hotel is the best looking around the area. It is on the opposite side of the 西街 food street. For location, you can give a 3 stars but you can give it 10stars. Because tour is about experience and this hotel provides the experience for taking a small noisy ferry across to the opposite side which is a tremendous experience of us and the kids. The ride is only 5minutes and you can check from the hotel room (window) to see if the boat has arrived. The swimming pool onlooking the mountain is breathtaking and this hotel definitely has the wow factor. Hotel looks new and trendy. Flashing sound from the toilet and some noise coming from the other rooms can be heard. I suggest hotel staff should explain to stayer to keep their volume down during check-in. I think it is quite understandable and customer should accept that since Yangshuo is considered a scenic area in the rural area. Enjoyable stay!

Spectacular accomodation!! As others have said, the location is perfect, the view from the rooftop alone is breathtaking. At the recommendation of the staff, I took an e-bike along the scenic route north of the Li River and had to pull over every 30 seconds to take another photo! Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly accomodating, friendly, and extended many invitations for group outings. The climb up Laozhai mountain is a must-do, it isn't a difficult walk and the view from the top is priceless. The room and building were well maintained, never had any issues with cleanliness and the price is very affordable for very budget travellers! Overall: Affordable, clean, friendly staff, and an amazing location. If I ever return to Xingpingzhen I will absolutely stay here again.

Very lovely staff, helped book a trip to Ruyi peak. Bathtub was definitely a winner, you’ll want to close the blinds though as there’s another hotel next door. Breakfast was wholesome and generous, Guilin noodles and some small snacks. We expected the area to be a little more secluded but it looks like a lot of tourism and development is going on in Yangshuo. Still a wonderful stay.

Before going to Longji Terraces Scenic Area, I read the comments of netizens and chose this homestay. It is really worthy of its reputation. The food is very delicious. The couple has the simplicity and ability of the Red Yao people. The hotel is not full, so they upgraded us to a family room. The view is superb! Thank you very much. I will come here to eat, stay and play next time when I have time.

Perfect hotel. The view from the bedroom is so good that you don't even feel like you need to leave the hotel. The food at the restaurant is also great and at a good price. They don't know how to speak english but they always tried to help with everything they could and we were able to communicate through translation apps. We booked transfers from guilin to the hotel and from the hotel to Yangshuo and everything went very smoothly (and a lot cheaper than we would get anywhere else). The breakfast is only chinese and rather small, but very tasty! We recommend this hotel to anyone going to this area.

This B&B is really good, with great scenery, good food, and good service Good scenery: The room you choose faces the terraced fields, and the view is particularly good Good food: There is Guilin rice noodles for breakfast, which tastes great, and you can add more bowls Good service: The store lady takes aerial videos and photos, and then sends you all the original photos But I really want to complain about Ctrip's ranking. I originally chose the Poetry and Distance room type, but later I saw that the first place on Ctrip was the Jiwan Village room type, so I changed to Jiwan Village. Later I found that the Jiwan Village room type did not face the terraced fields at all. I went there and asked the store if I could change it to Poetry and Distance. Poetry and Distance was full that day. Fortunately, the store paid the difference and upgraded the Water and Sky Room type (the room type facing the terraced fields). I feel that I still have to look at the panoramic view when booking a room in the future, and I can't trust the rankings. Finally, the most cost-effective room type of this B&B is still Poetry and Distance.

The service has been excellent. The owner, despite not speaking English, has been very helpful, helping us at all times with anything and always with a smile. The hotel has very good views, directly on the rice terraces and with a very decent community space. The quality-price ratio is excellent, highly recommended.

There are few comments, but I must praise Yundu this time! First of all, it should be the most satisfactory homestay on this trip. When we arrived at the Jinkeng Dazhai parking lot, the homestay would arrange a handsome boy to pick us up at the parking lot. After getting off the car, we walked along the mountain trail to the homestay within 5 minutes. We didn't have to carry the suitcases by ourselves. The handsome boy put the luggage outside the room door early. Secondly, the room facilities are very new and complete, with smart toilets, projections, and clean and tidy hygiene. We booked a 270° panoramic mountain room. All the rooms in the homestay can see the whole view of the terraced fields. It is a 5-minute walk from the No. 1 viewing platform, but I don't think there is any need to go to the viewing platform specifically. This homestay is full of panoramic views! Moreover, no matter what room type, it is equipped with an independent terrace, where you can watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. Finally, the food is reasonably priced, including bamboo chicken, bamboo glutinous rice, fish, etc. All the food is delicious! We also gave the Yao family homemade glutinous rice wine, which is very delicious. I drank more than half a pot by myself, and I can ask for more if it is not enough! After checking in, the handsome guy will send us back to the Dazhai parking lot. In short, if the full score is 10, I will give it 100 points! 😃😃 If I have to say a disadvantage, it is that I don’t want to leave! 😁😁

The room was warm and comfortable. The hotel was very nicely decorated. The hotel service was also very thoughtful. We originally booked a room for 4 people, but later added an adult and 2 children. We planned to prepare breakfast for the children, but the hotel still gave us breakfast based on the number of people. Afternoon tea was also moved to 11 o'clock the next day as we arrived late on the first day. The hotel also provided a travel photography service, which was also very good. We communicated with them in advance to choose the clothes, and brought them to the hotel for us to change into for the photo shoot. There was no hidden or mandatory consumption. In short, it was a very good stay experience, and it is worth recommending.

The store has complete facilities, but there was no hot water supply around 9pm. I took a cold shower and asked the host if there were too many people using hot water at the same time. It would be better if it was later. Everything else was very good. The main reason was that the price was reasonable!

Lovely family run hotel with delicious food in the restaurant and a great atmosphere in the evening. Appreciated the pick up from the central square (taxis don’t operate in the terrace area) and the evening foot baths (needed after a long day walking). Lots of lovely hikes in the area and the scenery is spectacular. Wished we could have stayed longer.

We booked a family room, which is very big, with comfortable and clean bedding, a separate shower room with wet and dry areas, a smart toilet, and a nice balcony. Although the location is not particularly ideal, the enthusiastic and sincere boss takes care of pick-up and drop-off, and helps rent cars for far places. Overall, the service is very good, warm and thoughtful. We basically have three meals in the store, which are affordable and taste good. The breakfast provided is also very rich, and we feel at home.

The boss and his family are very nice. They drove to pick us up at the entrance of Jinkeng Scenic Area. The car cannot drive to the entrance of the B&B. The boss personally helped carry the luggage. The food tastes very good. The boss cooks it himself, authentic and natural dishes! Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, open the curtains and enjoy the panoramic view!
