Pet Friendly Hotels in Guangxi, China

Get this hotel!!! We were supposed to stay for a night and then decide what to do - we ended up staying 3 nights and were very sad to leave. Every so often when you travel your hotel experience significantly improved your holiday - this was one of those cases! First of all the basics, we were looking for a nice family friendly hotel walking distance from the beach - and this certainly fit that category. The rooms are fine, you could see the sea from the windows, comfortable beds, pretty clean, slippers, plenty of towels, wifi everywhere etc. There was also a small playground for small kids and hammocks (picture) etc which was cool, we also saw mahjong tables, but didn't have the time to play. The hotel is located near a fairly large field, filled with exotic birds, butterflies and crickets etc. There were also geckos everywhere (love them), but we didn't see any inside the room. There were some mosquitos outside on the terrace (don't love them), but the repellent took care of those and we didn't have any in our rooms. Felt like you were near nature, in a good way. The kids loved to play on the beach, it's great for sand castles (the hotel had buckets and shovels free of charge) and searching for crabs, fish, shells, sea snails etc... The moms loved it too, especially to walk around and explore during low tide. (the hotel also provided equipment to catch crabs and other sea creatures etc if you wanted to - they also had a service to cook them for you) We especially enjoyed playing under a nearby pier during low tide to avoid getting badly sunburned. The supermarket across the street sell dozens of single malt whiskys and beer from all over the world (they also have ice cream and other stuff) - and the dads recommend the roof terrace for that after the kids are asleep. (picture) If you know how to ride a scooter/ebike they rent them across the road too, and it's the best way to explore the island. The small roads (almost devoid of cars) were awesome to drive on, just remember to stay safe. I don't usually care much about breakfast, but the included breakfast was great! (picture) The kitchen staff was also super laid-back about the whole thing - this whole hotel radiated a very laid back tropical island feel that made you forget you were in China. However the reason I write this review is because of the owner. (last picture) (I'm not sure if he speaks English though, but I'm sure you'll manage) Super chill guy! Immediately after booking he contacted us to arrange the transport from the boat. He helped us buy tickets for the trip back. He was willing to come and pick us up at any time if we got lost on the island. He had great recommendations about basically everything, and whenever we made plans we were sure to ask for his advice. He was basically always reachable over wechat too. These are just some of the things that he didn't have to provide, but did (or offered): unlimited cold drinking water, ice, proper glasses, a coffee grinder, buckets, shovels, hats, umbrellas, sunscreen, aloe vera plants, flashlights, mosquito repellent etc etc and it feels like we only scratched the surface. It feels like whenever I asked him for something he always had a solution that exceeded my expectations. Great host! I've traveled to almost 100 countries and while this wasn't the fanciest hotel I've stayed in by any means, this was one of the most memorable hotel experiences I've ever had. If anyone I know plans to visit this island I will for sure recommend this place.

Came here for the third time, deep in the mountains is a stockade like a Swiss town: houses are lined up, layers of flowers are first laid, and Jiaojiao is beautiful. Whether it is the faintness of the sea of clouds surrounding the mountain in the morning or the evening glowing and tender, or the stars at night, it brings a sense of peace and tranquility: two ears do not hear the world, and the edge is in this village; In the morning, you can go up and down the stone road, while enjoying the beautiful scenery around you, you can also go to the mountain tea room to have a cup of good tea; in the afternoon, continue to climb, sit in the pavilion at the top, overlook the whole village, and then shout out the inner poetry and distance to the mountains; At night, make a wish to the stars (the heart fire to the stars, the wish is true). Here, you can completely empty, live a few days of pastoral life, lamenting that the paradise is real.

This is the most satisfying Zen-style hotel I've stayed at in Yangshuo! Nestled by mountains and rivers, it offers stunning, immersive views directly facing the Yulong River and its picturesque peaks. Looking out at the lotus pond is incredibly refreshing and perfect for photos! The room was clean and elegant, with a comfortable and serene Zen-inspired decor. The facilities were complete, and the soundproofing was excellent. The staff provided attentive and thoughtful service, and breakfast was nutritious and fresh. The hotel boasts a swimming pool, a scenic tea room, and even wellness experience programs. It's a tranquil oasis amidst the bustle, making it an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend staying here when you visit Yangshuo!

The hotel staff were incredibly warm and attentive. The location is perfect, right within the West Street area, and it's just a 3-minute walk to the Li River, making getting around super convenient. Breakfast is provided and the quality of the food is excellent. They also offer electric scooter rentals, which is great for exploring the surroundings. The room was clean and tidy, and the hygiene was spot on. It offers fantastic value for money, the price is affordable, and overall, I had a very satisfying experience.

Must praise this store! The boss is a young boss. The store has a good good and cute kitten, and it is very cool to play the cat when resting. The whole house is well done, and all corners are cleaned up. It's much better than I thought, much better. On the first night I arrived, I lay in bed and wanted to watch dramas. I found that there was no video member. The boss immediately opened SVIP. The service is super good. The warmest thing is that I blow the air conditioner and catch a cold. I have to catch the high-speed rail downstairs the next day. I asked if there were paper towels. I smoked a few tables. I was going out to find a convenience store. The boss saw that I kept wiping my nose and took the initiative to take a pack of paper towels to me. The details are full, the service is not perfunctory, it is really comfortable to travel here, highly recommended!

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

My stay at the Julong Xiaozhen Resort Hotel exceeded my expectations. The room's floor-to-ceiling windows offered an expansive mountain view, allowing me to take in the rolling peaks and picturesque rural scenery at a glance. It was incredibly peaceful and therapeutic. The 'Sky Mirror' on the top floor was a standout, with the mountains and water reflecting beautifully, perfect for photos. The hotel facilities were comprehensive; the pool area was clean and refreshing, and the kids' play area is great for families. The food quality was excellent, with a wide variety at the breakfast buffet, an exquisite afternoon tea, and even comforting 'goodnight noodles' in the evening. Overall, the service was attentive, and it truly felt like a vacation. I highly recommend choosing this hotel when visiting Yangshuo.

This place has hands down been the most memorable stay we have ever had! As a couple traveling for the first time in China, Yukong, his family, and friends gave us a feeling of home and took care of us in a way we never experienced from a homestay. The house itself is build by Yukong's grandparents 70 years ago, and is placed in the middle of a Kiwi farm on the mountains outside Leye city. We shared great meals together every night in front of the fireplace with the boiling soup bowl at the center. Friends and family of the house even cared for bringing all sorts of classical Chinese instruments to the house to play traditional folk music for us - something we will never forget! Together we sang karaoke, drank rice wine, laughed and had great talks, despite of the language barrier. One could tell that our well being mattered to all of them, and that they wanted us to experience and understand their culture. Yukong and his brother even joined us for a hike in the nearby geopark and helped us with litterarly everything regarding planning and activities (which was so helpful, as none of us speaks Chinese). They took so much time off their hands to help us getting around and showed us the most wonderful local tourist attractions and great places to eat. The area has a lot to offer, and we were amazed that we seemed to have it all to ourselves. If you are in Guangxi, or anywhere else in China, for that matter, do yourself a favor and book a stay here. It is something you will remember for a long time. The nature, the culture, and especially the family you are gonna stay with, are wonderful.

All in all an extremely pleasant stay! The location is absolutely stunning. Sure, it might be a little bit off the beaten track, but the views are all the more rewarding and the hiking path from Dazhai is also highly recommended. The hotel lobby also functions as a big living room and a little restaurant run by the owners. The food is excellent and well priced (definitely try their rice wine!). Because we were there in winter and it was cold, the owners even put a small radiator under our table to make it comfortable. Generally, the owners were super nice and friendly and adding their absolutely adorable puppy, we almost couldn't bring ourselves to leave. The rooms were very clean, have a small separate bathroom and we had a small balcony with view over the rice terraces. For a more budget option there is also rooms without AC or view, in that case you can still enjoy quite a bit of the scenery from the living room downstairs or just by exploring the surroundings on foot. (The picture is shot from our balcony, but sadly some of the view was obscured by the winter mist.) We will definitely try to come again sometime in summer and are already excited thinking about staying in this hotel again.

Before my trip, I looked at many guesthouses and finally chose Ziyouniao (Free Bird). That was such a wise decision! The scenery is absolutely stunning; every photo I took looked like a masterpiece, and I didn't have to deal with crowds. The room was huge and had its own pool. The cleanliness, facilities, and service were all excellent 😎. The complimentary fruit and drinks in the room were incredibly generous, and mineral water was unlimited. If you don't feel like going out, you can have a great time just staying at the hotel. On the last day, because we were exploring a cave, we missed lunchtime, but the restaurant still provided warm service, and the complimentary beer fish was delicious. This is definitely a hotel I'd recommend to my friends.
