2-Star Hotels in Guilin

I highly recommend Chuxin Homestay; it was the most satisfying accommodation choice during my trip to Yangshuo! The location is truly unbeatable, very close to the Yulong River trail. In the morning, you can take an immersive stroll and enjoy the scenic mountains and rivers. It's also super convenient to get to Jima Pier for a bamboo raft ride. The 'Eternal Love' scenic area is just a few minutes' bike ride away, so you can easily return after the show without rushing, saving a lot of travel time. The room hygiene was exceptional. The bedding was soft and clean, the bathroom had no odors, and every corner was meticulously cleaned, making our stay very reassuring. The service from the owner was even more heartwarming; they patiently answered questions about travel routes and food recommendations before and after check-in. They were very responsive to our needs, making us feel completely at home. The room had great natural light, comfortable space, and was quiet, not noisy at all. The value for money is outstanding. This is my top choice for a trip to Yangshuo, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!

A very nice little hotel very close to the river and the city center. The hotel manager didn't talk english but we talked via WeChat and everything went smoothly, he recomended us some trips to do in the Yangshuo area and restaurants to eat. Very recomendable. The rooms were big, clean, confortable and have AC. Totally recommended. And has a mirror floor on the attic for everybody to take pictures! I almost forgot, there is a washing machine!

This is a wonderful family run guesthouse, where you can enjoy peace away from the hustle of Xingping Old Town. Differently from other types of accommodation we have seen in Dahe Bei village, this guesthouse is a hidden gem with charme and character. The food was excellent and abundant, freshly cooked by the owner herself. The owner picked us up from the Dahe Bei ferry dock, organised an electric moped rental in Dahe Bei (we didn't see many on that side of the river) and gave us plenty of tips and suggestions for where to go and what to do around there, including a sunrise hike to a nearby mountain that you can reach directly from the guesthouse - if you're into hiking (it's a 1h walk uphill through pomelo and orange orchards, followed by a series of staircases), it's a great spot, as we found only a few photographers when we got up there. The ginger cat and the house dog are cute and extremely friendly, adding to the overall wonderful atmosphere. Our room was spacious and clean, with plenty of hot water for showers after a day of hiking or driving around to see the surroundings. If we were to travel again in this area, we would definitely go back. Highly recommended!

I personally feel that this place offers excellent value for money. The owner was very welcoming; they came right over to help us with our luggage as soon as we arrived. Since we were traveling with our cat, the owner and staff were all incredibly friendly towards her. The facilities are very new, and even the tables and chairs in the room are quite grand. It's not like some places where you only get a tiny table just big enough for two glasses of water. The room was meticulously clean, and the overall atmosphere felt very comfortable. The room was very spacious, including the bathroom, and the tasteful decorative pieces prevented it from feeling empty. The design sense is excellent. My friends even said they want to redecorate their homes in this style.

We stayed at this hotel from August 8–11, 2026. We were very satisfied with our stay. Here are more specific details: 1. Location: Extremely convenient! The hotel is located right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of all the major attractions: the Sun and Moon Pagodas, Elephant Trunk Hill, and the West–East Pedestrian Street. Of course, the area around the hotel gets very crowded and noisy in the evenings, but inside the hotel and in the room, you can't hear the street noise at all. 2. Service: At check‑in, even though it was 4:00 PM and check‑in time is from 12:00, our room wasn't ready and we were asked to wait an hour (in fact, a little longer). After a long train journey on a hot day, that wasn't very comfortable. However, we had no further problems after that: the ladies at the reception were very polite and always ready to give advice or help. A special mention goes to the hotel's laundry room – it's free and doesn't require any detergent or washing gel. All programmes are preset; you just put your clothes in and press start. Very convenient! 3. Room: We had a Spacious Leisure Triple Room. The room was very clean, with good, fresh renovation – just like the whole hotel! The main drawback was the lack of storage space (no wardrobes or dressers), so it was quite difficult to hang our clothes. Otherwise, the room was wonderful. Instead of a standard air conditioner, there was a ceiling‑mounted split system, which was easy and comfortable to adjust. The beds were simply fantastic – so comfortable and large; sleeping on the pillows was a real pleasure. The bathroom was a separate room, not like in many Chinese hotels where the sink is right in the room and only the shower is separate. The bathroom had an amazing new shower cabin – you could really relax in it – as well as a new smart toilet, and a mirror with lighting and heating. The room was cleaned daily. A note that may be relevant for foreign guests like us: Each floor of the hotel is quite small and compact, with about four rooms. The room doors are opposite each other. During our entire stay, our neighbours changed every day – each time they were Chinese families who did not close their room doors. They literally lived with their doors open: brushing teeth, washing, drying their hair, watching TV, and children running around and shouting from room to room. This not only surprised us but also caused inconvenience – they would return to their rooms late in the evening and start making noise just as we were going to bed, and they would get up early in the morning when we still wanted to sleep, shouting in the corridor. On the last days, an elderly couple moved in opposite us, and the man kept smoking non‑stop in his room – the smell drifted into our room and was absolutely terrible. I understand that this is a human factor and the hotel can do only so much about it, but I would suggest that the hotel introduces a recommendation for guests to observe quiet hours from 11:00 PM to 9:00 AM and to keep their room doors closed.

The boss and his family are very nice. Rice wine was served with the meal, which was delicious. The room is in wood color and very new. You can see the beautiful terraced fields from the balcony of the room, and you can see the starry sky while lying on the bed. About the location: It takes 10 minutes to walk after getting off the car in the parking lot. There are elderly people at the Taiwan Melaleuca Observation Deck and we walked for an hour. The photos show the scenery at the foot of the hotel, the terrace, and the entrance.

Overall, the experience was excellent, exceeding my expectations. The hotel environment was clean and tidy, with no unpleasant odors in the corridors and public areas, which made me feel very safe. The room was spacious enough, with simple and elegant decor. The bed was just the right firmness, and the pillows were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bathroom was spotless, with all necessary toiletries provided, and hot water was readily available. The front desk staff were warm and polite, patiently answering any questions and responding quickly. The location is excellent, with a bus stop right outside and many shopping areas nearby, making dining and shopping very convenient. The price-performance ratio is very high compared to similar hotels. My stay was very comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it and stay here again.

The room is very nice and new, and the facilities are also very good. The only problem is that the bathroom has no curtains and there are a lot of mosquitoes. The service attitude is very good, including airport pick-up and drop-off. I will book again next time I come to Guilin

Super nice place to stay. The lady at the reception who we also think was the owner, was super friendly and professional. She was also speaking in English, which was super nice, as we did not have to use any translation apps like in other hotels. The room was clean and nice, with a balcony. We loved the balcony, as we were sitting during the night and enjoying the sound of nature. The hotel also offers food at the restaurant at the rooftop with a nice view. The location is amazing with people selling things under your balcony, close to the shops and restaurants from one side, whilst also close to the river and all the attractions on the other. Also, this is the exact location where you can go up to Laozhai mountain for the breathtaking view, the hiking route literally starts less than a minute away from the hotel. (P.S. please make sure you understand that the way up the mountain is very steep, with no build steps/stair, we literally climb up rocks - do not go when its dark). Thank you to the hotel for the amazing stay.

The view from the ”Premium Double Room” is fake - the hotel admitted to adding the karst mountains during ”post-production”. Do not book the room if you want dual aspect views onto the famous karst mountains (one side of the room faces some mountains (good view), but the other side faces some buildings). When we raised their falsification on the advertisement with the reception they admitted to faking the views, and we were able to negotiate electric bike rental as compensation. However, overall the hotel is good. 20 minute walk into city centre, clean, friendly staff, and a decent view (even if not as advertised) from some rooms. Good for the price! I wouldn't normally comment on this, but given the other issues we faced it seems that this hotel manager is as opportunistic as possible to exploit and sort change guests. When we arrived, we were given a downgraded room (i.e. facing a concrete wall). When we raised it was the downgraded one we asked for the room we had booked (double aspect windows with the view of the mountains). She was able to give us that room, but as I already explained the photograph of the room advertised contains fake imagery to deceive guests. I hope they change this in the future so that other guests are not deceived like us. Regarding the compensation for staying in the hotel despite the false advertising, we had negotiated free electric bike rental for one and a half days, and a ¥20 discount to be collected at the end. (They only accepted after I threatened to write an honest review and complain to Trip.com). Unfortunately, on the last day they didn't let us use the e-bike because it was drizzling (only in the morning, it was a bright sunny day for the rest of the day), and then they refused to refund the ¥20 as agreed on the basis that we'd used the e-bikes for half a day (the previous afternoon). (I have written evidence (via my translation app history) of all of this should the hotel respond and say that I'm not telling the truth). I am sharing a REAL photo of the room so future guests are aware of the view. I recommend that the hotel improves the honesty of their advertising.
