Guest UserBijin Sky Homestay is an excellent choice for a stay in the Dong villages.
The service and reception here are outstanding. They offer all-inclusive round-trip transfers and proactively assist with itinerary planning. Upon arrival, they provide a detailed guide for exploring all the scenic spots like the terraced fields, drum towers, and wind-and-rain bridges, making your trip completely stress-free. The wooden homestay features floor-to-ceiling windows with direct views of the entire Dong village's stilted houses and mountain scenery. The rooms are quiet and comfortable, and the Yao medicinal bath is incredibly relaxing. Every evening, the homestay arranges authentic Dong Grand Song performances, offering an immersive cultural experience.
The local buffet breakfast is delicious and authentic, and upon departure, they even give you a special souvenir. The service is meticulous and thoughtful. Opening the window reveals a picturesque Dong village landscape. It's definitely worth revisiting.

KellyBabeeeThe housekeeper proactively called us before check-in to add us on WeChat, and they responded to messages instantly. They were warm and polite. The pickup vehicle and driver were also waiting on time, providing excellent service. The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom glass door was sparkling, and the view from the window was lovely. The toiletries in the room were comprehensive, all from good brands, and they even provided a disposable bathtub liner, alcohol spray, laundry detergent, and moisturizing spray. The safety measures were also top-notch; it was my first time seeing a room equipped with not only full fire safety facilities but also an escape rope. The breakfast was well-balanced and delicious. Most importantly, the price was affordable, and it's pet-friendly with no extra cleaning fees! I truly hope this generous guesthouse expands and thrives, opening more locations in other places to give pet-owning road trippers like us more options. Please don't let those who try to take advantage and lack manners ruin your spirit. Just a small suggestion: put up two signs at the turn-off for the hotel, and add a few lights on the uphill path, as it's very dark walking back at night and easy to miss which turn it is!

Guest UserThis guesthouse is absolutely amazing! The windows are huge, offering a fantastic view of green terraced fields outside, and the air is incredibly fresh.
The location of the guesthouse is superb, with a convenient shuttle service. It's right in the heart of the Dong village, just a few steps from the lively main street, where you'll find all sorts of unique shops and food stalls. It's super easy to pick up souvenirs or try local delicacies. Yet, despite being so central, the guesthouse itself is a peaceful oasis; it's wonderfully quiet at night, completely undisturbed by any outside noise.
And the service? The staff are all incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. When we checked in, the front desk gave us a detailed guide to exploring the Dong village, recommending many lesser-known but beautiful photo spots and local eateries that only residents would know about. During our stay, they were always quick to respond to any requests, which was really thoughtful. The room itself was spotless, very cozy, with comfortable bedding and all the necessary amenities – a truly comfortable stay.
All in all, whether it's the location or the service, this guesthouse is impeccable. It added so many wonderful memories to my trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!

HeiheiheiheiWe planned a slow-paced, three-day, two-night trip to Zhaoxing, and choosing Guge Secluded Retreat was absolutely the right decision! The guesthouse is located near the village entrance, making it convenient for coming and going without being noisy. It's just a few minutes' walk to the main scenic area. Every morning, we'd have breakfast at the outdoor bar, which offered a stunning view of the village for photos. In the evenings, we'd watch the night view from our room's balcony – it was so peaceful and therapeutic. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Over the two days, the elders rested well, and the kids had a great time too. A perfect family vacation, and I've already recommended it to friends!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming guesthouse. Mr. Lu, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming. He truly goes above and beyond for his guests. He even arranged a driver for us to visit nearby villages and personally accompanied us during the visits, which made the experience even more special and authentic. He also picked us up from the train station and dropped us off there, which was very much appreciated.
His wife is also very warm and friendly, and together they create a lovely, home like atmosphere. The breakfasts were delicious, and the location of the hotel is excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.
The only small downside was that we happened to visit during a period of construction, so our room had a view of the works. However, this was just bad timing and did not take away from our overall experience.
As a memorable highlight, Lu played and sang a traditional Dong song for us, which was absolutely magical and something we will never forget.
We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a genuine and heartfelt stay.

Guest UserThe location of this hotel was excellent with a truly wonderful view of a drum tower, covered bridge, bright green fields and the mountains beyond; at night all the ancient buildings were lit up and glowed gold. The owners were extremely helpful with all my travel arrangements and kept in contact, answering my questions I had and ensuring I travelled to the hotel from the train station without any problems

The owner was very thoughtful; seeing we had a child, they proactively upgraded us to a family room. The room was nicely furnished, with disposable towel sets and cups instead of traditional hotel toiletries. It had a relatively private balcony with views of the top of the Drum Tower and parts of the scenic area – perfect for relaxing on a deck chair. The hotel's location also avoided the noise of the main tourist area, which was a great advantage for guests who value a comfortable sleeping environment.

A Dong Village Stay Impressed by Details and Care - Yunman Shanju
Choosing Yunman Shanju for my stay in Zhaoxing Dong Village truly exceeded my expectations! I heard the new Yunnan B&B owner team took over in May and it had only been open for a little over 20 days. I was prepared to give it a try, but the result has truly moved me to write this review, the first time I've ever been so attentive and so touching!
The service was truly exceptional:
After booking on Ctrip, I added the owner on WeChat and sent him my itinerary. The owner called to confirm my arrival time as soon as I arrived. The high-speed train chartered car was already waiting. The B&B is also very close to the village entrance, so I didn't have to walk far with my suitcases. The owner and his family immediately helped with my luggage, instantly relieving my travel fatigue.
We were even given a free room upgrade upon check-in! This pleasant surprise truly made me like him.
Most importantly, the owner was genuinely willing to chat and engage with guests, going beyond the usual politeness. You could sense that he genuinely listened to their feedback and suggestions, a truly comforting gesture. The attention to detail in the food and accommodations is evident:
Breakfast is warm and authentic: Mornings on the fifth-floor terrace, offering the best views of the entire village, beneath the eaves of the unique drum tower, watch the entire Dong village awaken in the morning light. Enjoying handmade noodles brought in from Yunnan by the owner, paired with sweet and juicy corn and free-range eggs grown in the local Dong village, the satisfying and refreshing feeling is enough to motivate me to finish my meal even after a long night.
Afternoon tea: Their homemade bayberry soup, with its sweet and sour taste, is a welcome relief on a hot summer afternoon, far superior to street vendors!
”Living water” is the soul of the homestay: The most surprising thing is that the homestay is located next to an ancient well used by local residents for generations! The homestay uses the clear, sweet well water for tea, drinking, and even cooking. I used it to brew the Yunnan Pu'er tea the owner shared with me. It was incredibly flavorful, with a distinct aftertaste that even plain water had a natural sweetness. This experience of deeply connecting with local life was so unique and precious that I, someone who never drinks raw Pu'er, drank it for two days straight!
A comfortable and stylish stay:
Excellent soundproofing and good sleep: The rooms are well-insulated, ensuring a quiet, quality night's sleep even in the Dong village.
Quality details are meticulously considered: My room had floor-to-ceiling windows and a small balcony, offering a wide view of the Drum Tower in the distance, perfect for daydreaming and relaxing. Even the toiletries, such as shower gel and shampoo, are the owner's own brand, not cheap, generic goods, making them incredibly reliable.
The B&B's public areas are a treasure: The rooms and public areas are uniquely designed and decorated, both stylish and full of local cultural charm. The public area on the first floor, spanning over 200 square meters, offers a quiet space for reading, daydreaming, or making a cup of tea. When the owner is free, he'll sit down and personally brew tea with sweet well water. His Yunnan Pu'er, in particular, has a sweet, refreshing aftertaste that I still savor.
An unexpected staycation:
Guizhou's summers are hot. I had originally planned to explore extensively, but, aside from a visit to the Tang'an Rice Terraces, I ended up staying mostly at the B&B! Amazingly, I didn't feel bored at all. I admired the scenery from the terrace, sat in the stylishly designed first floor, brewed tea with sweet well water, read, and chatted. The guests who frequented the B&B were mostly Cantonese, which made it feel so welcoming, haha! This B&B itself offers a rich, comfortable, and stylish space that invites you to slow down.
What impressed me about Yunman Shanju wasn't its luxury, but the genuine care and warmth, as well as its sincere respect and integration into local culture. It gave me a taste of what a B&B should be.
Since I booked two rooms, my friend felt the same way! I'm speaking for her... Since there are two posts, I'll share more photos too.
