Daxin Hotels with balcony

"This Zhuang-style B&B, nestled in Mingshi Countryside, offers panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of karst peaks and rice paddies. Morning mist and evening glow make for fantastic photo opportunities. The Zhuang-style breakfast is fresh and delicious, and the butler service is attentive. The Mingshi River bamboo raft pier is within walking distance. The only downsides are the numerous countryside insects, the difficulty of booking a mountain view room during peak season, and the significantly higher price compared to standard B&Bs."

"This is a very unique guesthouse with a great location, close to the scenic area and convenient transportation. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. Each room also has a large terrace, perfect for enjoying tea with family and friends in the evening. The owner is very attentive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They even gave us a complimentary Americano and handmade ginger brown sugar. Thumbs up! I'll definitely come back next time."

"Health is in place, the landlord is kind, the parking is convenient, and the stay experience is great. The landlord’s family was very enthusiastic and gave the children delicious passion fruit lemon tea. The breakfast was also delicious. I took a beautiful view when I was cool in the evening."

"Shanyao Xiaozhu Guesthouse may sound unassuming, but stepping into the rooms is a pleasant surprise. First, the cleanliness is impeccable; the beds and rooms are spotless, comparable to a five-star hotel. Second, the service is excellent. The owner is very welcoming and responsive to any questions. When we couldn't find Yushui Dam while driving there, he kindly suggested we call him – a truly kind gesture. The guesthouse is conveniently located near the scenic area entrance, easy to find, and very quiet at night. It even has an elevator, which is rare for a guesthouse. The rooms are particularly noteworthy – each one is large and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the scenic area. I couldn't resist taking several photos. The curtains are automatic, the toilet is a smart toilet, and the bedding is excellent. There's also a table, two chairs, and high-quality toiletries, a hairdryer, and slippers. Having traveled extensively and stayed in various hotels of all levels and star ratings, I feel that Shanyao Xiaozhu Guesthouse offers a five-star experience at an economy price. All 14 of us in our group were extremely satisfied."
