One of the best hostel experiences I've ever had!
The owner is a really cool guy, he organized a trip to a nearby waterfall and took some great photos of us.
The atmosphere in the hostel is great, it's really easy to make friends.
And the dog is adorable.

When I read the reviews, I feel this place is really awesome.
But getting there, I have a little bit of a hard time finding the location.
Then, when I arrive, the boss is not here so some people staying there open the door for me.
The dog is so cute and nice!
The toilets are really clean and the place itself (room) is a bit dusty.
When my roommate moves above, my bed moves a little as well, which can be a bit of a bother.
But the biggest problem, that made me leave, is that the beds are sooooooo hard, I never experiences that before.
And also, there are no curtains, so you get light on your face hard time. Of course, you have curtains for your bed, but you don't have curtains at the window, which is a bummer.
Last thing, I checked out very very late but the owner let me not pay an extra day because I changed plan, this is really awesome.
Response from Property: It is really difficult to maintain the reviews of foreigners. If you are a little dissatisfied, you will get a medium or bad review, which makes the rating not go up [wipe sweat] I will answer your questions one by one. There is no 24-hour front desk here, which has been clearly mentioned in the details. So you can add my WeChat in advance to inform the specific location and door password. There is also my WeChat QR code and phone number at the door. (The shopkeeper often takes the friends in the store to outdoor activities. There are no volunteers in the store, so there is no 24-hour duty) It is inevitable that there is dust in the room. Where won’t there be a little dust? Don’t you have it in France? As for you saying that the bed will shake when someone goes to the upper bunk, which is inconvenient for you, you can spend more money to live in a single room. Why come to live in my youth hostel? If you don’t even have this tolerance, you really don’t deserve to be a youth hostel. (It’s really hard to serve) In addition, there are curtains on the windows of each room. If you don’t know, you can consult me, and now there are curtains installed on the upper and lower bunks. Regarding the hardness of the bed, everyone has different needs. We Chinese generally don't sleep on a mattress that is too soft, so I think the mattress here is moderately hard and soft. Of course, you can tell me if you have any problems, and the mattress can be added. We clearly have WeChat but we didn't communicate. Last but not least, I will store your luggage for free until you check out at night. The rules say check out at 12 o'clock, but the rules are dead and alive. At this time, you will know to send me WeChat. I usually agree to this kind of problem that does not affect other people's stay. I really don't understand why they gave me a rating of 3 points in the end. It's just what the heart thinks [smile]

The I am waiting for you in Guilin Youth Hostel is without doubt one of the coolest Hostels I have ever stayed in! I stayed for two days as a solo traveler.
The Hostel is located right next to the Guilin pedestrian street area. At night there are many food stands.
In the Hostel it was super easy to make new friends and the owner regularly takes the guests on little trips around the Guilin countryside - we went to a beautiful place at the Lijiang river.
The beds are also good to sleep in :-)

Small but clean and comfortable hostel in excellent position. The owner is friendly and helpful and can provide the ticket for the cruise to Yangshui for the half of the price that I paied online.
Response from Property: Thank you for your good comments and I wish you a safe journey in China. Goodbye!

The hostel offers you everything you need for your stay. It‘s small, but very homey. Big shoutout to the hostel owner for always providing good food spots, outdoor activities and help how to get around.
One Love.

Great place in between shops and attractions! They organise visits to the most important places outside the city, which is very useful. The place was clean and in order. Only “negative point” is that they do not have a reception, so if you are really in need, WeChat is the only option.
Response from Property: 是的,我這裏沒有24小時前台所以請提前添加我的微信能更方便的溝通

Real hostel vibes, very social, not commercial at all.
The owner is super invested and plans (usually paid) activities in nature everyday.
The entire hostel is quite small but extensively decorated and has a very personal feel to it.
Rooms and bathrooms are well equipped (international wall sockets, small lockers, hair dryers, tissues, shower gel, hangers).
I very much recommend staying here if visiting Guilin, and I would come back without a doubt.

Cosy little room, on 4th floor (note no lift) of a different building from the hostel - good location to experience the local sights including Sunday morning dancing by the river. Only thing I didn’t like was the bathroom which was so small that I had to be careful not to fall into or drop anything into the squat toilet when taking a shower…

Mister Hwang was such a kind and accommodating host. He helped me get set up with a very last-minute boat tour on the Li River and went out of his way to help me find a solution when my payment apps stopped working. He deserves all the good karma for the help me gave me, but besides that the hostel is also lovely. It is what you should expect for the value but the facilities are clean, the environment is friendly, and the location is excellent. Highly recommend!
Response from Property: Thank you, a lovely American girlHave a nice trip in YangshuoSee you again sometime!

Highlight of my trip in China so far. Hostel was the best social vibe with a great host that really knows the city. He also has planned tours that (I think) he leads so if you come with no plans you’ll be taken care of. I only stayed one night and also loved the location (but also had a tough time finding it - asked the ladies around the corner and they helped).
I’ll add it’s true no towels were provided for me so I had brought my own, and the bunk does not have a “fluffy” mattress yet I somehow slept perfectly well (but I’ve been in China for a while so maybe used to that type of bed already).
Response from Property: Thank you for your good review
