Love my stay, proprietors were welçoming, clean, had family meals, upgraded at no cost, hot water, heater great room patio views.
The negative experience and *not connected with the hotel were the aggressive ethnic women vendors, they lie about their products, use guilt trip and aggression to try to get you to buy. I certainly don't want the lump them all together but in my seven encounters it was 100%, perhaps it's a cultural thing. I've told my proprietor and hopefully she'll warm them that it's harmful fleecing and being unpleasant.

Everything was great except from the bathroom which was a little of a culture shock for westerners like us.
The hosts were very friendly and picked us up from the parking lot, we had a great stay🌺

The place is in a very convenient location (compared to other inns that are way up the mountain hill). All wood, very cozy. Can get cold in the winter. The owner is very friendly and they have a good menu with local dishes. Definitely worth for the price.

I've had an excellent experience staying at this place. It is a homestay in every sense of the word, as you are host of Yu Chon Wan and his family. The place, all made of wood, is authentic and conveniently located in the middle of the hill, with beautiful views. I suggest, if you have the opportunity, to eat there, definitely a strong point. The food is freshly made as you can see them cooking in the kitchen at dinner time. Like in other places in China, agree beforehand the amount of spicyness and salt, if that is a concern. They have a menu and they will tell you what is available and what is not, which to me is a plus, meaning that the ingredients are locally sourced, fresh and seasonal.
The bathroom required some adaptation, as it was tiny and not made with Western standards in mind, yet I found mine clean, like the rest of the room.

The guesthouse has a very good price/quality ratio.
1) The hosts are very responsive, hospitable and willing to help. At our request, they booked us seats on the direct bus from Yangshuo to Dazhai, and also met us at Dazhai bus station and took us to the hotel by car.
2) The guesthouse is very atmospheric: wooden, with simple furnishings - you feel like you are in nature. Since the weather was rainy, we used the umbrellas provided by the guesthouse.
3) The room is simple, but it has everything you need, we did not need anything. The most important thing in the room is the balcony with a beautiful view of the rice terraces.
4) The location of the guesthouse is convenient - not far from Dazhai bus station, and from the observation decks.
5) We also had a delicious dinner at the guesthouse.
We really enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse.

The hosts were friendly and good cooks. As a European I would prefer a better toilet.

Had a great time! The room is cozy with a stunning view and a lovely balcony. The location is very good for hikes to explore the area. The hosts are super nice and helpful. Food is great with many veggie options and for a fair price. Would definitely recommend!

We went there in the off-season, so the room price was acceptable, and there were not many people. The proprietress was very friendly and nice, and upgraded the direction of our room. The room is not much different from the picture, and the price is just the direction. But if you don't care whether there is a view outside the window, it doesn't matter, because there is also a view point downstairs, and you can find a different view point down the terrace.
Eating in the homestay at night is not very expensive. The dishes are picked and cooked, and the chicken is also caught and cooked, which is very fresh. The Guilin rice noodles cooked by the proprietress in the morning are really delicious.
Guilin was quite cold when I went there, about minus one degree, but the room had heating and the bathroom was very clean. Although it looks like a small village, I am a little clean, but the owner's hygiene is still good.
It's worth staying.
