Homestays in Guangxi, China

The room exceeded our expectations, it was one of the most amazing rooms we’ve stayed in while traveling. Getting to lie in bed and watch the beautiful mountains was a highlight! Staff were friendly and helpful too

Seriously, what a find! This guesthouse is located at the highest point in Jinkeng Dazhai that's accessible by car, which saved us a lot of uphill walking. From here, it's just a 10-minute walk to Observation Deck No. 2 and 20 minutes to Observation Deck No. 1. The rooms are equipped with all sorts of high-tech facilities, spacious and comfortable, with a faint scent of tung oil. The large balcony offers direct views of the stunning rice terraces, perfect for time-lapse photography, or simply lounging around, daydreaming and sipping tea – a truly relaxing experience. We stayed here for two comfortable nights. The guesthouse even has an elevator, making it super convenient to get to the fourth floor. The owner's cooking is absolutely amazing, and even breakfast was very generous. They served complimentary homemade rice wine with every meal, and even gave us a souvenir when we left. The owner is incredibly thoughtful!

Facilities: The facilities were excellent and fully equipped; we had everything we needed, including a washing machine, and the air conditioning was very powerful. Cleanliness: The place was spotlessly clean and very tidy – excellent. Environment: The environment was superb! With the ocean right outside the window, the view was absolutely stunning and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sea. Service: The owner was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and attentive.

Top-notch! I initially thought it was just the great ambiance, but the service turned out to be even better! The owner is very professional and can even converse in English, which explains why many Russian tourists stay here. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and while small, they have everything you need. Both the rooms and hotel facilities are well-equipped, and the breakfast is delicious and hygienic. For less than 400 during the off-season, it's incredible value for money. For the laundry room, the front desk even helps collect your clothes and dries them for you. Every day, they'll ask if you want your room cleaned or disposable amenities replaced. The hotel's coffee, and the coffee from the cafe next door, are both excellent. The only minor downsides are that the parking lot is a bit far, and the swimming pool is small, but it's absolutely beautiful for photos! I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Heshe Hotel stands as one of the finest resorts for accommodation in Guilin. Their hospitality, culinary offerings, ambiance, and staff are all exceptionally delightful and helpful. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by amazing front desk attendant, Melody. She assisted us through out our stay and made sure we’re comfortable and well taken care of and our tour guide, Eric, who communicated fluently in English, significantly easing our experience as non-Chinese speakers. The owner was equally gracious, sharing their barbecue with us, creating a sense of homeliness. This hotel is located just 15 minutes from the main tourist attractions, with rooms that are very clean and offer breathtaking views. I am definitely coming back again.

Overall, the room was quite good. The guesthouse is a small building with lovely river views. However, the tatami room only offers good views on a clear day, but you can always go up to the rooftop terrace to enjoy them. The overall style is great, and they have a washer and dryer. My only suggestion would be for them to have a separate laundry room. The current placement of the washer and dryer feels out of place and detracts from the otherwise refined and artistic feel of the guesthouse. It gives off the impression that because it's not a 'front-facing' area, they didn't bother to organize or clean it properly. It would be much better if that area was well-maintained and they also provided laundry supplies. The owner was also very kind and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. And the BBQ place nearby is surprisingly delicious, highly recommend it!

Extremely satisfied with this hotel! Location: It's right downstairs from the Li River Tourist Center, making it super convenient to get to the 20 Yuan scenic spot, take a bamboo raft, or visit Xiangong Mountain. The ancient town is also right next door, so dining and shopping are a breeze. Amenities: They've got a starlight ceiling, Dyson hair dryers, smart toilets, complimentary chilled drinks, earplugs, laundry detergent, and a smart voice control system. Service: The service was excellent. They helped carry luggage to and from the room, and were incredibly warm and thoughtful. They even provided a complimentary breakfast, which was really good quality. The Guilin rice noodles were delicious, they used Mengniu fresh milk, the sausages were proper meat sausages, eggs were fried fresh on the spot, and the coffee was from Cotti. Very satisfied overall. There were also many international guests staying at the hotel.

The room booked on this trip was really beyond expectations! At first glance, I felt that the view was very good. I could see the vast lake. The hygiene was very good. The sheets were white and soft and there was no smell. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, the ground is dry, and the toiletries are fully prepared. What surprises me most is the smart home in the whole house, which is very convenient. The view outside the window is wide, the night is very quiet, the sound insulation effect is also good, and I wake up naturally when I sleep. The boss is warm, check-in and check-out are very fast and efficient, and the home-cooked dishes are also delicious. The most important recommendation is his bamboo raft tour lake, quite wow, much more beautiful than the official lake tour scenery, the overall price is very high, next time you come to this city, you will choose this one, and recommend it to other friends!

Located right within the Yulong River Scenic Area, it's just a 5-minute walk to the popular scenic boardwalk and very close to Jima Pier. The oversized bathtub offers a relaxing and pleasant soak with views outside the window. The courtyard features a lawn and a swimming pool, perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the breeze in your downtime. Breakfast includes authentic Guilin rice noodles, which taste very genuine.

Lijiang Xi'an Homestay was one of the best places I have been in China. Very clean and beautiful. An amazing view and a very convenient place. The Pedestrian street was just around the hotel with a lot of food. From the window you could see the river and the people dancing on the road. The front desk was very friendly and tried with all they could to help with everything. The hotel has an amazing terrace which we enjoyed very much staying till late. A place not to miss.
