Pet Friendly Hotels in Guilin

The environment is fantastic, and you can enjoy the scenery right through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room is very spacious with four different sofa areas, giving you a cozy spot to lounge around anywhere you like. It was impeccably clean. While we were out exploring, the staff sent messages asking if we needed housekeeping and when it would be convenient for them to clean. The breakfast was bountiful and delicious. In addition to breakfast, the hotel also offers a complimentary afternoon tea and late-night spicy noodles. We were too full from dinner to try the midnight noodles, but we did have the afternoon tea and it was great. The staff service was also very attentive. When I wanted to do some laundry at night, I found that the washing machine wouldn't take in water. I contacted the front desk, and two young ladies took time out of their busy schedule to check it for me and contacted a technician to resolve the issue. I am very grateful to them.

LOCATION: Trip.com showed this stay as very close to the cable-car (Jinkeng terrace). That was the main reason for us to choose this place. But, on arrival, we found that this accommodation is about ~19 km far from the cable car station. So, it was an accidental choice for us. Nevertheless, this gave us an opportunity to enjoy this stay – free from hustle-bustle, no regrets. We realized the serenity of this place after visiting Dazhai! 😊 TRAVEL: Foreigners with family and kids. We traveled to the Longji Terraces from Yangshuo by 13:30 bus. It took us about 4 hours. Although we booked the ticket to Dazhai (last stop), we got off the bus at the Jinzhu intersection. The driver knows the hotel and its staff. I did reach out to Ms. Liao Yanzhen (aka Jane) through WeChat (same number as in Trip.com) before starting the journey. She informed the bus driver about us & it helped us a lot. ACCOMMODATION: It is located uphill from the Jinzhu intersection – about 15-minute walk. Since we had luggage, Ms. Jane arranged for a car to carry all our luggage to/from the stay. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Depending on the room type, a balcony view helps. I had the valley view, which was very nice early in the morning. The room is built on a treehouse concept with modern bath and restroom facilities. It had a kettle, WiFi, etc., all that comes with a standard reservation. FOOD: Received the menu available and the price per item through WeChat. The common dining area is spacious. Food portions were large and tasty! For the hotel location, the cost is reasonable. STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to make your stay comfortable. We managed all our interactions through the translator app. They surprised the kids with popcorn! During our stay, we played cards after dinner for a few hours in the common area, and the staff were kind enough to help us with table and chairs. Also, on the last day, they showed us their traditional way of preparing food and the ingredients. ONLY SUGGESTION to the hotel: please address the door noise. It is too loud and annoying for occupants as well as neighbors.

The room is quite spacious with complete facilities, and the panoramic window offers a great view. The only downside was that it was fully booked during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we only got a second-floor room. There's a small golf course less than 5 meters away on the opposite rooftop, which somewhat compromised privacy. I imagine this wouldn't be an issue on the third floor and above. The service was very attentive, and the buffet food was quite good for a B&B, around a 4-star standard. We even received a small gift when we checked out. Its location near the old street pier makes it convenient for Yulong River rafting.

Staying here with my mom was, by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had in China. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and cared for. The hotel is in an absolutely amazing location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and incredible views. There is such a peaceful and calming energy throughout the entire property—it’s the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed and completely disconnected from the outside world. Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds singing was honestly one of my favorite parts of our stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. They genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time there, and their warmth made the whole experience feel even more special. We also loved all the activities the hotel offers. Every morning, we joined the Tai Chi sessions, which were such a beautiful way to start the day and really allowed us to embrace the peaceful atmosphere of the place. We also participated in several of the hotel’s cultural activities, including a Calligraphy class and a traditional Tea ceremony. These experiences made our stay feel much more meaningful and gave us the opportunity to learn and connect with the local culture in such a lovely setting. Another highlight was renting a scooter and exploring the surrounding countryside. It was such a fun way to discover the area at our own pace, and the scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. Overall, it’s safe to say that my mom and I absolutely loved our stay. We truly had no complaints whatsoever and honestly didn’t want to leave! We’re already talking about coming back ASAP because this place felt like such a special little escape. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, authentic, welcoming, and full of character, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and very grateful for the experience. P.S. They also have the cutest little cat and dog roaming around the property, which made the stay even more charming! 🐱🐶❤️

Misled by Trip.com. Paid about 1200 CNY for two days and ended up in a rural guesthouse in the mountains, which was misleadingly listed as a hotel. Dianping (a local review app) was more honest, showing it as a guesthouse. I should have stayed in Yangshuo West Street instead; there were plenty of options for that price. The photos were drastically different from the actual experience. It was more like a two-star place in the city, perhaps? The exterior was even less appealing than other guesthouses, but the lobby was spacious and simple. The rooms were small. It had six floors, with about 5 rooms per floor. The room was small and had a rustic, 'village' feel. My child didn't even want to stay after opening the door and asked why I booked this place. It was totally photo-shopped. Plus, transportation in Yangshuo is inconvenient, and taxis overcharge. We had to tough it out for two days. I saw the photos on Trip.com and thought it would be a minimalist and chic hotel like All Seasons, but it was just a peasant's house. The bathroom had random trash cans. You could hear people talking outside the door. This place feels more like accommodation attached to a restaurant. Trip.com actually listed it as a hotel. I shouldn't just rely on reviews in the future. When we were taking a taxi out from here, the driver mentioned he was worried about oncoming traffic. That's when I realized the road in this deep mountain valley was only suitable for single-lane traffic. We even had to pull over twice for others. On October 4th, it was raining, and we couldn't get a taxi no matter what. We walked to the entrance of 'Romantic Show' and finally got a taxi for 78 CNY, which took an hour to get to Ruyi Peak. From Ruyi Peak to Silver Cave, we entered at 5 PM and by 7 PM, it was dark. The sky had cleared up, but there was no way to get a taxi back to Yangshuo. We were quoted 120 CNY for a 40-minute drive to the theater. It was a very poor experience. The most satisfying part of the 1200 CNY room rate was the bowl of Guilin rice noodles served for breakfast. Also, the beer fish set meal we bought separately at the hotel was generous in portion and clearly offered better value than the accommodation itself. After booking, it's essential to check both Trip.com and Dianping. Both the accommodation and transportation were extremely disappointing. You need to think carefully before staying in the mountains. For the same price, it's better to find a proper hotel. Always, always look at the exterior photos of the hotel, the outdoor shots. Seeing the outdoor exterior photos can largely help in making a judgment.

Overall, the experience was excellent, exceeding my expectations. The hotel environment was clean and tidy, with no unpleasant odors in the corridors and public areas, which made me feel very safe. The room was spacious enough, with simple and elegant decor. The bed was just the right firmness, and the pillows were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bathroom was spotless, with all necessary toiletries provided, and hot water was readily available. The front desk staff were warm and polite, patiently answering any questions and responding quickly. The location is excellent, with a bus stop right outside and many shopping areas nearby, making dining and shopping very convenient. The price-performance ratio is very high compared to similar hotels. My stay was very comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it and stay here again.

I arrived in Guilin from Kunming late after 12 am and there is no tourist information counter staff at the airport to tell me where to wait for the hotel's airport transfer driver. Fortunately an airline check-in counter officer helped me call the hotel to find out where to wait for the driver. Please note wait for the driver next to the police kiosk after leaving Gate 6 of the domestic arrival terminal and crossing the lane. It took me 15 minutes to identify the driver because the driver did not show the placard showing the hotel name Shanshuiyunshang Hotel. The driver was impatiently waiting for a foreign tourist. So I identified myself as a Singaporean looking for the transfer driver of the hotel. He replied that I can follow him, who did not declare the hotel's name. Thank God he brought a group of tourists and me to Shanshuiyunshang Hotel to check-in. I also thank God that the driver escorts me to the Airport Flower Field, which is 569 metres away from the hotel, for plane-spotting, and I walk back to the hotel within 10 minutes to check-out of the hotel for my outgoing trip from Guilin after completing my plane-spotting mission. Other than the hotel airport transfer driver, there is the odour of smoke in the room but I have to bear with it until I leave and I cannot access the hotel wifi by scanning the QR code. The hotel restaurant is very small but dragonfruit is served and the breakfast amount is sufficient to fill my hunger. Shanshuiyunshang Hotel is one of several hotels along the road of Liangjiang Town that has accommodation for tourists but this hotel is the only one in Liangjiang Town to be listed on Trip.com. I will stay here again for the purpose of plane-spotting in Liangjiang Town, the famous airport town of Guangxi.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay here. I went out of season, so I was the one of the only guests for two days, this made if even more special. if you travel during rainy season make sure to have rainboots and rain proof coats etc. The nights and mornings can get very cold so prepare warm clothes. The family helped me from booking a local shuttle bus from Yangshuo to arrive and departing and also picked me up on my day of arrival from the park entrance. The Homestay is quite far up the hills, not very easy to find you need to carpool or ask owners to help with scooter ride, but the views and people make it all the worthwhile. It is close to many hiking trails and view points. The family welcomed me with so much love the room was exactly as it said. Their food and pricing is also very affordable. They family is of the local ethnicity and they gave me an up-close view in their lives and their traditional ways. I tasted their rice wine, chilli paste , traditional tea and bamboo rice and many other delicious foods. The owners and family are very helpful and if you have any questions, or want to know more of need to get to a certain part of the area they are happy to help. This family and their black dog filled my heart with so much love and gratitude. Note for for foreign travelers: They don't speak English, but do not let this scare you if you are a foreigner, translator apps are helpful if you can't understand the language. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil and family-like feeling enjoy the outdoors and nature. I will definitely be going back!

What can I say.... AMAZING!! We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed both nights!! From when we first check in, the lady who checked us in, helped us with our suitcase and they are big one too! (note there is no elevator). To the lady that work at night and cook our yummy breakfast in the morning, thank you! We are both vegetarian, so she was always checking to make sure we can eat it. She was super friendly, talk to us and tell us what is nice to explore/play, and make sure we have enough food to eat! On the last day when we have to check out early as we have to catch the Li River Cruise, she make sure we have food to eat and that we can bring on the boat to eat as well. She was very thoughtful! The location is over the bridge about a 10 mins walk to ZhengYang Pedestrian Street. I prefer here as it more quieter rather than on the main street. Furthermore, it not that far, with only a 10 mins walk along the river and you will reach most places. I also loved the decor in the hotel as well, it has everything you need. They provided free snack, and we did try some too!! Good to try local snacks which we did end up buying when we saw it lol. You could also go up to the roof top, which will provide a 360 view, especially the view looking out to the Li River on a nice fine day is so worth it! Lastly, my mum left some of her belonging in the hotel and forgot to pack when we check out. They courier this to our next hotel in Yangshou, which is very thoughtful of them. Overall, I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay here.

This was my first time visiting Yangshuo, and I stumbled upon such an affordable and clean guesthouse! I originally planned to stay for just one night before moving somewhere else, but I liked it so much that I extended my stay for another day. It's very close to the Yulong River and the Ten-Mile Gallery, and West Street is right at the doorstep, which makes exploring and eating out super convenient. There are also plenty of electric scooter rental shops downstairs. Very handy!
