"Full score recommended this homestay, this Guilin travel experience exceeded expectations! The room was cleaned very clean, all corners were neatly cleaned, and the living was comfortable. The supporting supplies are particularly intimate. In addition to regular toiletries, they are also equipped with disposable towels and disposable bath towels. You don't need to bring your own washing and protective fabrics when you travel, saving a lot of luggage burden, and the details are particularly extra points. The boss is warm and friendly, treats people sincerely, takes the initiative to inform the route before arrival, patiently shares local play, food guides after arriving at the store, and reply in time if you have any questions. The location of the homestay is convenient, very close to the scenic spot, and it is very convenient to travel and eat. The overall environment is quiet and comfortable, with complete facilities, warm layout, and a sense of relaxation at home. Very good value for money, whether it is a friend or a family trip is very suitable. I really feel that I am operating with care and there is no invisible consumption. Next time I come to Guilin, I still choose here, I really recommend it to friends who are ready to travel!"

Ting Ran Yun Ju Hotel (Guilin Xiangshan Scenic Area & Two Rivers and Four Lakes Branch)

"I blindly picked this hotel, Ranyunju, for my trip to Guilin, and it completely exceeded my expectations – I have to write a heartfelt five-star review! ✨ I was touched by the warmth right from check-in. The front desk lady was so gentle and thoughtful, proactively upgrading our room for free. When I opened the door, I was instantly surprised! The room was spacious and bright, with a simple yet cozy style that felt incredibly comfortable. The bedding was so soft; once I lay down, I didn't want to get up. The soundproofing was excellent too – after a day out, closing the door created a quiet little world, and I slept so soundly. I absolutely have to rave about the hotel's breakfast! The variety was incredible. The freshly stir-fried hot dishes were refreshing and flavorful, and snacks like crispy chicken popcorn and spring rolls were perfectly fried. There were also so many exquisite desserts and cakes, both visually appealing and delicious – they easily rivaled any pastry shop outside! My favorite, though, was the freshly made Guilin rice noodles; the broth was rich and savory, and two bowls weren't enough. Starting the day with such a satisfying breakfast before heading out to explore the sights just filled me with happiness. The service was top-notch throughout my stay; any small request was quickly attended to. Every detail showed how much they care. Next time I'm in Guilin, I'm definitely staying here again!"

Mulan Yaju Homestay (Two Rivers and Four Lakes Xiangshan Scenic Area) ★★
"During the holiday, I brought two babies to Guilin to play, and I accidentally found a treasure shop! The location is easy to find on the Lijiang River. It only takes 10 minutes to take a taxi from Guilin Station to the store. After arriving at the store, the boss went out to help with the luggage, and each person sent a cup of local special Luo Han Guo tea, which tasted very good. Because there was a telephone consultation in advance, the store's WeChat was added in advance, and the store sent a graphic and text guide, but after arriving at the store, the staff still took the trouble to recommend the tour route in Guilin city and the local specialties that do not step on the pit. Give the boss a careful compliment. The room was clean and tidy, the ground was dragged and bright, and the utensils were complete. After going upstairs to rest, I was going out to play. The boss said that I could wear the special Zhuang costumes in the store for free! There are many styles, as a value-added service in the store without charge, I really recommend this small store! One night of staying in the store is the best experience in Guilin!"
