Hotels in Longji Terraced Field-Jinkeng Yao Village, Longsheng

I stayed 3 nights, ate every dinner there and would absolutely come again! I was super lucky to get an upgrade on arrival (see photo of the view from my balcony 7am in the morning) I‘d read that staying 3 nights was too long, but for me it was perfect. I did the dazhai to ping‘an hike one day and took the gondola up the next day. On my last morning they even drove me down to the parking lot to get on the right bus. Super sweet! Only minor issue: my room was a non-smoker room and it really did not smell of smoke at all unless I tried to use the aircon. Somehow the air coming out of the aircon smelled of smoke. For me that wasn‘t a huge issue as I decided not to use the aircon & was fine.

The room looks exactly like the pictures on Trip.com, directly facing the rice terraces. I really have to commend this guesthouse run by local villagers in Jinkeng Village! The owner even carried our luggage to the room with a shoulder pole. I loved the style of the small courtyard, the rooftop, and the lobby – cozy, bright, and natural wood tones. The guesthouse service exceeded our expectations. They told us the best times to photograph the terraces for that mirror-like effect, introduced us to nearby attractions, and even offered a free fish-catching activity. They sent us the menu via WeChat in advance. The chives and small fish we ordered for dinner were freshly picked and caught from the owner's own garden. The complimentary iced rice wine was absolutely delicious. These honest villagers truly welcome every guest with all their heart.

The room was very clean and tidy. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the scenic area. You can even see beautiful views from the hotel restaurant corridor! The owner is incredibly kind. When I arrived by car at Dazhai, the owner personally came to pick me up, and when I left, he saw me off. Since I was traveling alone, the owner invited me to eat with him and the staff, which was very touching and thoughtful. Choosing this guesthouse for visiting the Longji Rice Terraces is definitely the right decision!

Generally ok, but we were there just before the season and this could be seen. The rooms was nice and spacious with comfortable bed. The common areas could use some cleaning though. The pool was being prepared for the season during our stay. There are also building some parking space in front of the hotel, which interfers with the nice view. The location is perfect, a few minutes walking to the viewing platform one. The staf were helpful, booked a bus to Guilin for us and dropped us to the bus station.

This hotel is at a an absolutely stunning spot! Our room on the 5th floor offered a splendid view over the Longji rice terraces (Dazhai, Tianthouzhai), very close to scenic spot No. 1). If you like to hike, it‘s also a good location. We walked down on a beautiful path to Dazhai and from there up to the Golden Buddha Peak, which is at the upper station of the cable car. For going down to the Dazhai Parking Lot we took this cable car, a 20 minutes ride (55 RMB one way, April 2026). To get back to the hotel you can take the tourist scenic bus and walk the last 5 minutes up to the hotel. We can highly recommend this hotel! It is perfectly clean and we very much liked the washing machine in our room. The staff is very friendly. A small regret: We would have appreciated if there would have been more effort to communicate pro-actively, for example by using a translation app. Some advice to the different hiking paths and/or a map would have been helpful. But some Information can also be found on the internet.

Had a wonderful stay here! The owner was incredibly sincere and even offered personal pick-up and drop-off services. They were also very enthusiastic in providing travel tips and helping us plan our itinerary. A pleasant surprise was the fantastic room location; we could see the breathtaking terraced fields right from our balcony, and we were even lucky enough to catch the sunrise there. I must also mention that the owner's cooking was absolutely delicious! This time, I got to see the 'mirror' terraced fields, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the golden rice paddies here in autumn.

Excellent location , in the Dazhai village center, easy 7 minute walk to the Dazhai parking lot for the cable car and the local buses to Ping'an and long hair show village (forgot the name). You can also walk to three observation platforms from the foothill to hilltop. Room: spacious, clean, with all the amenities as described. Hosts: a young couple with kids and mother, nice, welcoming people. Although they do not speak English, you can easily communicate via WeChat. They helped me with booking a bus to Guilin. The hotel is recommended for nice views and local village experience. I would like to have a menu, as well as a sketch map of the area with observation platforms, villages, hiking routes in English. Information on local events and local but routes/ schedules would also be helpful for non-Chinese tourists.

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!

The hotel's decor is truly unique and incredibly photogenic, perfect for taking stunning pictures. As a classic stilt house of the Hong Yao ethnic group, we were immediately struck by its charm upon entering. The ambiance is exceptional, arguably the best in the area, and it's conveniently located close to both viewing platforms. The spacious interiors, filled with an antique charm, were an absolute bonus, deserving all the praise! 👍 The hotel is family-run, and the owners are incredibly warm and friendly. They are quick to assist with any issues. We even received a 50% discount when visiting Jinfoding just by mentioning the hotel's name! The owner also helped arrange our return trip to Guilin station flawlessly. The owner's home-cooked dishes were incredibly delicious – we were completely satisfied with every meal. For breakfast, they even invited us to try their wonderfully fragrant local specialty, 'Youcha' (oil tea). The most remarkable part was their dog! When we left at 5 AM to catch the sunrise, their dog faithfully followed us. Initially, we were a bit wary, thinking it might be aggressive, but then we realized it was actually leading us all the way to the viewing platform. That dog definitely deserves an extra treat! 🦴 While five stars is the maximum rating, it doesn't fully capture how exceptional this hotel is. I will definitely recommend it to all my friends.

Seriously, what a find! This guesthouse is located at the highest point in Jinkeng Dazhai that's accessible by car, which saved us a lot of uphill walking. From here, it's just a 10-minute walk to Observation Deck No. 2 and 20 minutes to Observation Deck No. 1. The rooms are equipped with all sorts of high-tech facilities, spacious and comfortable, with a faint scent of tung oil. The large balcony offers direct views of the stunning rice terraces, perfect for time-lapse photography, or simply lounging around, daydreaming and sipping tea – a truly relaxing experience. We stayed here for two comfortable nights. The guesthouse even has an elevator, making it super convenient to get to the fourth floor. The owner's cooking is absolutely amazing, and even breakfast was very generous. They served complimentary homemade rice wine with every meal, and even gave us a souvenir when we left. The owner is incredibly thoughtful!
