New Hotels in Longsheng

"Disclaimer: I am a genuine guest, and all the following reviews are authentic, with no embellishment. The photos and videos are originals, without filters or editing. 1. **Room**: The actual room matches the pictures online, and the window view is also consistent with what's advertised, so feel free to book with confidence. The king room features a tatami mat and a floor-to-ceiling window (which can be opened), while the twin room comes with a balcony. All bathrooms are designed with separate wet and dry areas, and the entire room is equipped with smart home features. Most importantly, the guesthouse has an elevator! An elevator! This is incredibly convenient for guests with luggage, seniors, or children. 2. **Cleanliness**: The lobby, restaurant, terrace, and rooms are all very clean and free of any peculiar smells. What's even better is that it didn't feel damp even when I stayed after the Qingming Festival (this is a big plus). 3. **Environment**: The guesthouse boasts a modern, minimalist decor with a bright overall color scheme, excellent natural light, and ventilation. All facilities and equipment are well-maintained, and the soft furnishings and decorations are thoughtfully chosen, making you feel right at home. There's a children's play area in the lobby, which also looks clean and tidy. Next to the restaurant, there's a public outdoor terrace with lounge chairs and tables, where you can comfortably relax, play, chat, or dine. 4. **Transportation**: Whether you drive yourself or take a chartered car/taxi, you can drive directly to the guesthouse entrance, which has its own parking area. For those traveling by bus, the guesthouse owner provides pick-up and drop-off services at the bus stop (Jinkeng Dazhai Parking Lot). The owner also offers rides to Viewing Platforms No. 1 and No. 2, or Cable Car Station No. 3. It's incredibly convenient and hassle-free (transportation in the villages of Longji Terraces can be quite inconvenient). 5. **Service**: The service absolutely deserves high praise; it's very thoughtful and attentive, with every request met. On the day of check-out, my chartered driver wasn't scheduled to pick us up until 4:30 PM, leaving our group of four with nowhere to go. We ended up staying in the guesthouse restaurant and on the terrace after checking out. The owner's family didn't mind at all and continued to host us warmly, which made us feel a bit embarrassed. In the end, they personally saw us off at the door. Throughout our trip, my parents kept raving about the place, and after returning home, they urged me to write a good review to express our gratitude. 6. **Food**: Breakfast is a freshly prepared set meal per person, consisting of a cup of soy milk + 1 corn + 1 bowl of Guilin rice noodles + 1 boiled egg. It's filling and delicious, and the eggs are from their own chickens. For lunch and dinner, I ordered à la carte at the guesthouse. All the chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables are home-grown or raised by the guesthouse itself, killed/picked and cooked fresh on the spot. Everything is incredibly fresh, and the portions are generous—definitely not pre-made food! The chickens and ducks roam freely on the owner's own land. What's more, the guesthouse owner's cooking skills are excellent; even my parents and aunt, who are experienced cooks, couldn't stop praising every dish. It all tasted great and suited our family's preferences perfectly. The owner also offers complimentary homemade rice wine, which is delicious, truly delicious—you must try it. If we weren't planning to spend a few more days in Yangshuo, I would have definitely bought some to take home. You absolutely must try the guesthouse's home-raised chicken, especially the chicken soup. After leaving, my parents kept talking about their chicken, saying it was different from any chicken we had at other farm-to-table restaurants in Yangshuo later on. Their chicken was tender and fresh, with the natural sweetness of chicken, not just seasoning. My parents kept saying that after our trip, they wanted me to contact the owner to order some to be delivered home. Because we had already tried the local specialties in the first few meals, for our last lunch, my parents just wanted some fresh vegetables from the field, and the owner didn't mind at all that we only ordered two vegetable dishes. Their homemade Luo Han Guo tea is also very good; the tea is rich. When we checked out, the proprietress even specially gave us two packaged bags as a parting gift—so thoughtful! I'll be contacting the proprietress to buy passion fruit after the National Day holiday when they ripen. 7. **Local Ethnic Attire**: The guesthouse provides local ethnic costumes for free, with several sets to choose from, including headwear. The clothes are new, clean, and you can wear and photograph them as much as you like. Furthermore, the owner has a beautiful wife and a pair of lovely sons, along with kind and honest-looking parents. The entire family is incredibly warm and sincere, making our stay very comfortable, reassuring, and pleasant. Happiness is infectious. Jinkeng Dazhai is truly beautiful, and I highly recommend everyone to visit!"

"This was the best experience I've ever had with an hotel. First of all the place is very new, and you can tell. It is extremely clean and technologic (the toilet had a worming seat option) and the bathtub, the sofa and the bed were all super comfortable. The location is the best in the Longji park, close to view points 1 and 2. And from our room we could see the rice terraces. But the best thing were the owners. They got in contact with us before we arrived to make sure we knew the way. They welcomed us with hot tea, and explained to us where all the sightseeing points were. We had many questions and they patiently answered all of them. The service was amazing! Last thing: eat in the hotel! We ordered everything in the morning and in the evening we had the best dinner we had in China so far. The breakfast is also very good. This is really a gem, and we liked our stay very much. Thank you again for the hospitality!"

"設施：齊全，豪華舒適温馨， 衞生：很乾凈 環境：：很好 服務：很好 下次會再住，會推薦給身邊的朋友親戚！㊗️老闆生意興隆！八方來客！"

"The smart home system in the room worked really well, and we had a direct view of the terraced fields from our window. However, the air conditioning and mini-fridge were quite noisy at night, which might be a problem for light sleepers (like me), but my boyfriend slept soundly. Also, the tap water was cloudy for a while, which might be a common issue for guesthouses in the mountains. The owner was very welcoming, and the food was delicious, haha! The free breakfast was also quite generous. It was very convenient to get to the observation deck. Overall, I recommend it."

"The landlady was incredibly welcoming and had an exceptionally good attitude. The hotel was new and very smartly equipped. You could watch the sunrise from your bed, and there was both heating and air conditioning. The bedding was clean and hygienic. The hotel is great for taking photos; the vantage points are fantastic, and all these photos were taken from those spots. I took thousands of pictures. I changed into four or five outfits – it exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended; it elevated my vacation experience to a whole new level."

"I really want to leave a review of the hotel and the area in general. We stayed here with our family and children for two nights. We were absolutely delighted with the hotel and the hosts' hospitality! They welcomed us like family! Warm, thoughtful, and attentive! The boutique hotel is modern and stylish, with a smart home system throughout. Cleanliness, excellent air conditioning, crisp white linens, towels, and robes. Comfortable mattresses and pillows. Everything is new and perfect. It's a little piece of luxury, modern paradise amidst stunning mountain scenery! The food is incredibly delicious. We ate all our meals at the hotel and enjoyed every dish! The view from our room was stunning! Special thanks for taking us everywhere and patiently waiting while we explored. They gave us so many gifts! I'd dreamed of a photo shoot, and it was so nice to receive that as a gift! And the trip to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset was incredible, magical! Every moment was taken care of! All our wishes were fulfilled instantly, as if the hosts could read our minds. My worries about insects were in vain. No one bit us. We felt like we were in a fairy tale!!! I'll definitely come back to China again, and I'll definitely come back here and stay at this hotel!"

"This homestay really exceeded our expectations! First of all, the surrounding scenery is particularly beautiful, whether it is the mist in the morning or the sunset in the evening, it is refreshing. Secondly, the service is also very intimate, from check-in to departure, every detail can feel the heart. The environment is very clean and comfortable, the room is clean and bright, the layout is warm, and it feels particularly relaxing when you live in. The dining is also worthy of praise, the dishes are rich and delicious, and each one is very distinctive. In short, it was a very pleasant stay experience, I have recommended it to my friends, and I will come again next time!"

"This stay was absolutely perfect! Transportation is incredibly convenient; those driving can simply drive right to the door, and parking is easy, so you don't have to worry about luggage or parking at all. The guesthouse itself is stunning, with high-quality, stylish decor and a great sense of design. Every corner is chic and perfect for taking photos. The best part is the elevator, making getting around effortless. The rooms were clean and tidy, offering maximum comfort and a very pleasant stay. The owner was incredibly warm and attentive, responding promptly to any needs and providing exceptional service. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money. This is the top choice for any trip in the area, and I've already recommended it to friends. I'll definitely book again next time!"

"The owner's new shop deserves a five-star review! 1. Panoramic balcony: Opening the balcony door leads directly to the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers viewing platform, offering direct views of the sunrise and even at night when the lights are on. 2. Panoramic hotel: Two walls of glass, very beautiful. 3. The hotel is very new; our room felt like the first time we'd ever stayed there. The owner's location is also quite high, offering superb views. 4. During the October 1st holiday, we mainly visited Ping'an Village. There was no traffic congestion, and the crowds were manageable, except for the intense sun and the somewhat arduous climb up the rice terraces. 5. The passion fruit the owner gave us was also delicious."

"Environment: The guesthouse is located at the highest point in Mahai Village, offering panoramic views of the village's terraced fields. Enjoying dinner overlooking the fields is a truly breathtaking experience. The guesthouse's interior design is meticulous; the rooms were all designed by the young lady herself, incorporating local stilted house features with a modern, rustic wood style. Every detail shows great care. Service: The designer was incredibly kind and helpful, offering us their homegrown passion fruit and providing a photo service – very thoughtful. They also offer a special breakfast, and dinner features delicious homemade dishes – fantastic!"
