Highly recomend this place. Very clean with good view. The laundry room had space to dry clothes. The owner helped us to buy tickets for the bus and gave us a ride to bus station.

we spent one month travelling China and this stay was definitely our favourite! The rooms were very clean and we received a free upgrade and all the amenities in the room worked perfectly! It’s a family run business and the mom made the best homemade food we tried in China and the dad and son were also extremely kind and helpful! They organized a free pick up to and from the bus stop and helped us organize the tickets for the bus to Guilin. The son speaks very good english so communication was no problem and he helped with any questions we had. The location was also extremely convenient and the view was very beautiful! Definitely recommend coming here!

Absolutely fantastic stay, the owners are extremely hospitable and the food served (both the free afternoon tea and the paid dinners) is very good, also had fun dressing up in the ethnic costumes (flexible on when to borrow the costumes, I tried it on in the evening and when returning them, owner recommended holding on to them for another round of photo-taking in the morning when the light is better). Good location to start walks to the various viewpoints to see the rice terraces and also for the bus service to Dazhai.

Super friendly family owns the hotel. Food was very delicious and price was great. Thumbs up for the cook. The young staff was always very helpful. One could speak English and assisted us with all our questions. He also helped us to reach the hotel from Guilin. The hotel took us to Dazhai and waited until the bus departed. Free of charge. 100% recommendable.

Spacious room and nice view from hotel. Afternoon tea served consist of passion fruit juice and local rice wine. Location far from Dazhai parking lot - walked around 30-40mins but owner would offer a ride to their hotel.
Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you very much for choosing Yuelai. The hotel has a free parking lot for your convenience; The guest rooms all face the terraced fields, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery without leaving your home; The room hygiene is "one guest, one exchange, one disinfection". It takes only 15 minutes to walk to the second observation deck's thousand story staircase. Thank you again for your choice, and I wish you and your family a happy life. Goodbye!

Stayed in a family room and it was really spacious and has some really lovely details that make your stay special. And the view at the terrace is absolutely amazing. One of the main paths begins right outside the hotel. And there are no steps from the parking to the hotel which really mattered for us traveling with 3 small kids and lots of things. The owners cook delicious Chinese food. We enjoyed every minute here!

The room had a great view and was close to the observation deck. The hotel offers reasonably priced, delicious meals, and the owner's homemade rice wine is also delicious. The children had a blast catching fish in the rice paddies.

Response from Property: [Expanding Views] [Exquisite Dining] [Fine Wines] [Childlike Fun] Dear guest, hello! Thank you sincerely for choosing Yuelai Courtyard Hotel and sharing this idyllic holiday experience. We are delighted to know that you and your family were captivated by the expansive views from your room. The hotel's adjacent observation deck was designed to allow every guest to enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers from the window, integrating the poetic beauty of nature into their daily lives. We are deeply encouraged by your appreciation of our dining experience! Our dishes, expertly crafted with locally sourced ingredients, adhere to the principle of "authentic taste at the best value." Our rice wine, brewed using traditional family recipes, conveys the sweetness and lingering flavor of the wild countryside. We are honored to share this meticulously crafted experience with you. Even more touching was the joyful smiles of the children as they fished barefoot in the rice paddies. This innocent moment of connection with the land is the essence of our meticulously curated rural experience. We hope this wild joy will become a shining memory for your children as they grow up. Yuelai Courtyard believes that the warmth of travel lies in the details. Every time you stop by, it is the driving force for us to improve our service. We sincerely invite you to come back again in the changing seasons: in spring, explore the new rice seedlings, in summer, count the stars, in autumn, pick the rice waves, in winter, simmer warm wine. We will wait for you and your family every time with our unchanging sincere heart.

The room was great, and the owner and his family were very welcoming. Their bamboo chicken was delicious and generous. My child and I couldn't finish it, so the owner took the initiative to collect it for us to make soup with the next day, which again earned our child's praise.

Response from Property: [Full-Star Rating] [Clean, Warm, Like Home] [Guest-Host Mutual Delight] [Delicious Flavors] Dear guest, we sincerely thank you for your five-star rating for Yuelai Courtyard Hotel! This profound recognition is heartening to all of us. Your praise of "clean and comfortable" is exactly what we adhere to—daily deep cleaning, soft cotton bedding, and a silent air conditioning system all contribute to our commitment to "clean, warm, like home." We are even more delighted by your deep impression of the host's kindness! "Warm and thoughtful owner, exceptional service" captures the essence of our family-run business. From helping with luggage to serving late-night hot tea, from providing itinerary advice to responding to unexpected requests, we treat every guest like a family member returning home. This warm, welcoming "guest-host mutual delight" far surpasses formulaic service. Your praise of the kitchen staff is truly inspiring! We insist on cooking with Longji Mountain spring water, harvesting seasonal vegetables from the terraces (such as bamboo shoots and wild vegetables), and recreating the Yao ethnic flavors with a wood-fired stove, to create a "satisfying" [delicious and satisfying] experience. To this end, we have reserved exclusive benefits for you: ✅ Complimentary "Chef's Secret Three Flavors" on your next stay: Paddy Fish in Sour Soup, Stir-fried Wild Fern with Bacon, and Five-Color Glutinous Rice ✅ Balcony Morning Mist Tea Ceremony Experience (Includes use of viewing telescope) We look forward to warming a pot of oil tea for you again when the terraces turn golden, and reminiscing about the seasons of the mountain. Yuelai Courtyard, waiting for the return of old friends! Sincerely, Yuelai Courtyard Hotel

The hotel is very close to the Thousand-Layer Ladder (Observation Deck No. 2), a mere ten-minute walk away. The terraced fields are visible from the hotel, and parking is conveniently available. The entire hotel is very cozy. Jinkeng Dazhai is truly grand, with expansive views and breathtaking scenery. It's well worth a visit!

The owner of the restaurant is very hospitable, very nice, enthusiastic, talkative, and drives back and forth. The driving skills are very skilled. The boss's wife is very good at cooking. She cooks the dishes herself. The bamboo chicken, bamboo rice, beer and fish are very delicious, and the rice wine is sweet and delicious. The young man is very gentle, civilized and polite. It is a very good hotel. The scenery of Longji Terraces is unique.

Response from Property: [Warm pick-up] [Ingenious cooking] [Beautiful terraced fields] [Warm experience] Dear family, hello! Seeing you write this warm text with your heart, all the partners of Yuelai Courtyard Hotel are deeply moved! Your recognition of the boss's pick-up service (15 years of driving experience on mountain roads with zero accidents is our pride), your praise for the boss's bamboo tube chicken/bamboo tube rice craftsmanship (the secret recipe of ancient kiln roasting + Longji fragrant glutinous rice has been passed down for three generations), and your encouragement for the brother's thoughtful service are all the driving force for us to stick to our original intentions. On this cloud terraced field, creating a sense of belonging to "home" for you is the most precious reward. ＞ 🌾 **Return date notice**: In July, the clothes drying festival is full of thousands of Yao embroidery, and a window banquet is reserved for you-in the mist of bamboo tube chicken, enjoy the colorful peaks together. --- **Quick overview of Longji in summer** ＞ 🌿 **Mid-June to early July**Flooding period: mirror-like terraces reflect clouds, **Jinkeng Dazhai · Jinfoding** watch silver ribbons; ＞ 🚶 **Summer hiking**: climb the Thousand-Layer Sky Ladder in the morning (Tiantouzhai → Xishan Shaole), wear river tracing shoes to prevent slipping; ＞ 🏡 **Accommodation recommendation**: Diaojiaolou halfway up the mountain, taste bamboo shoots and bacon + watch star tracks at night; ＞ 🚌 **Transportation**: Guilin Qintan Station → Longsheng shuttle bus (25 yuan), transfer to the scenic area van (15 yuan) directly. Looking forward to sitting around the fire pit with you again, drinking rice wine and chatting! **Yuelai Courtyard Hotel Butler Xiaoding** June 2, 2025 ＞ 📍 *Terraces are covered with clouds and mist, Yuelai is waiting for people to return*
