Mountain View Hotels in Longsheng

If you get the chance to visit Longji/Longsheng to hike through the amazing rice paddies, then you absolutely must stay at Li'An Lodge. The rooms are lovely, clean and quaint, and a cultural alternative to the more modern options in the larger cities. The lodge is run by Aaron who goes above and beyond to help visitors, give local recs, and speaks perfect English. He will also help you avoid any tourist traps.  Li'An lodge is also built on the highest point so you have a fabulous view, and is situated right at the starting point of the main hike in local area. The rooms give you a great view of the rice paddies and the village.  The food is simple and great, or you can eat around the town, which is very atmospheric. We came in the low season end of March, which was misty but fab and we had most of the places to ourselves.  Really can't recommend enough. If you get to Guilinxi (station) they will send a driver to get you. You can also book directly with the hotel over email with Aaron which is easy and efficient. 

Longji One Art Hotel was one of the highlights of our Guangxi trip. Beautiful mountain views, peaceful atmosphere, and exceptionally kind staff. The hotel blends modern comfort, captivating art decor and photos with the charm of the rice terraces perfectly. Dinner In hotel was deliciously prepared and included cultural singing and dancing. Grandma’s distilled rice wine was exceptional. Waking up to the mist over the valley was unforgettable. Hiking paths through rice terraces, hilltops, and wooded areas start just outside the hotel door. Highly recommended hotel for anyone visiting Longji Rice Terraces.

The room condition was excellent, and the view was absolutely stunning. We could take amazing photos right from our room. The owner was very thoughtful and paid great attention to detail. He's also a fantastic photographer; the pictures he took of our family of four were beautiful. All our meals were at the hotel. The breakfast rice noodle set was very flavorful, and the lunch and dinner dishes were delicious, offering both home-style and local flavors. Longji Terraces, we'll be back! (All photos were taken in the room and on the hotel's platform)

It was a perfect living experience. Not only was it comfortable to live here, but the owner and his family were also very welcoming and even invited me to have tea with them. Moreover, their food is super delicious, and the beer fish is also good. When you get up in the morning, you can watch the sunrise on the observation deck, watch the sunset in the evening, and you can see the terraced fields from the room. It can only be said to be perfect. However, the transportation in Longji Terraces is not very convenient, so you need to plan in advance before visiting.

We chose this hotel for the 270 view and the amazing balcony, and it was even beter than we expected. From the first moment on it was perfect: our luggage was carried right up to our room, we ordered dinner at the hotel and they brought it to our balcony, the food is very much recommended and home made! The breakfast was very delicious as well! The room was extremely spacious and comfortable, the design is really beautiful and the wooden interior feels authentic. You are close to the village but high enough to get a better view, and we walked to the Golden Buddha top in about 45 minutes along the fields (stunning!!!) I am so happy we stayed here for 3 days as it was the highlight of our trip, watching the sunset from our balcony and bed, eating the amazing food, and being received so well!

We stayed at the Longsheng Huanlongge Panorama Inn for one night while visiting the rice terraces. We arrived at the hotel after taking a bus and then taxi from Guilin. The hotel is up a hill from where the taxi can drop you, but your luggage is carried up to the top using a special winch system! On arrival we were offered tea and local berries which were lovely. We had our room upgraded to a suite at the very top of the hotel building which offered amazing views over the rice terraces from its private wraparound balcony! The room itself was clean and comfortable with a huge amount of space. We ate dinner in the hotels restaurant which was tasty and reasonably priced when taking the location into account. One of our highlights was the included breakfast, there were lots of different parts of it, which were all delicious. After checking out we hiked through the rice terraces to Ping’an where we caught a bus back to Guilin. The hotel were also very helpful advising us about the hike, buses, luggage storage etc. They also had a very cute dog who was very well behaved! A big advantage of staying here was experiencing the rice terraces before the bus loads of tourists arrived. We would recommend staying here.

From the moment we arrived, Jason and his wife took incredible care of us. They picked up our luggage right at the foot of the hill and had it carried up to our rooms while we headed off to explore Ping'An village — such a thoughtful touch that let us start our visit unburdened and worry-free. The views from both the lobby and our rooms were nothing short of incredible — the kind of scenery that feels genuinely healing for the soul. We found ourselves just sitting and taking it in more than once. Jason's hospitality went above and beyond throughout our stay. When my friend developed blisters after a long day of walking, they went through their entire ice supply just to help her ice her foot and get some relief. That kind of generosity and care is rare to find. The decor throughout the property is completely unique — wood carvings and old doors that Jason salvaged and collected from old homes give the lobby and guest rooms so much character and history. It's clear this place was built with real passion and personal touch. We also loved the food at the hotel restaurant, especially the traditional 竹筒饭 (bamboo rice) — simply delicious, along with everything else we tried. Jason and his wife have created something truly special here. Can't recommend Baike enough — an unforgettable stay in every way.

Staying at Guanhe Wilderness in May was absolutely wonderful! The hotel is surrounded by rice paddies, and opening the window reveals tender green rice seedlings swaying in the breeze. The air is fresh and moist, carrying the natural fragrance of grass and trees. The rooms are simply designed yet rustic, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in the lush green scenery, making you feel completely relaxed. I especially loved dining on the terrace. The staff were very welcoming and recommended great walking routes in the fields and nearby farm experiences for May. The owner even drove us to the viewpoint himself. Staying here completely escaped the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing me to truly experience a slower pace of life. I'd definitely come back! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and tranquility. This stay deserves a rave review!

An absolute gem in the Longji Rice Terraces – don’t miss it! We absolutely loved our stay at Moro. The hotel itself is beautiful, with breathtaking views over the rice terraces and a perfect location for exploring the area on foot. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and waking up surrounded by this incredible landscape is truly special. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was exceptionally kind, welcoming and genuinely caring. Whatever we needed, they were always there to help, finding a solution to every little problem and making sure everything was easy for us throughout our stay. Their warmth, attention and willingness to help went far beyond what we expected and made us feel incredibly well looked after. Another huge highlight was the food. We had both lunch and dinner at the hotel and everything was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and local, the dishes were beautifully prepared, and honestly every single thing we tried was excellent. Some of the best food we had during our entire trip to China! We genuinely cannot recommend Moro enough. If you are planning to visit the Longji Rice Terraces, this is the place to stay. Beautiful hotel, spectacular scenery, fantastic food and, above all, an exceptional team of people who make the whole experience truly memorable. We would come back without hesitation. Don’t miss this place!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel; it’s in a great location, and the view from my room is pretty impressive! The hotel is very clean and well-maintained, though it’s not very well soundproofed—but that’s fine as long as your neighbors aren’t too noisy. The food was very good; the included dinner and breakfast portions are more than enough—no need to worry about that. As for my rating of the service (3/5), it has nothing to do with the hotel staff, who are very friendly, and it was easy to communicate with them even though I don’t speak Chinese. The problem stemmed from communication before I arrived at the hotel. I tried to arrange my arrival through the hotel’s taxi service several days in advance, but received no response from the hotel—neither on Trip nor on WeChat (they didn’t accept my request). The hotel replied one hour before my 6:00 p.m. arrival (luckily, I hadn’t planned to arrive any earlier), but unfortunately, I had already made other arrangements. Better communication in advance regarding this shuttle service would have been preferable. Aside from this minor issue, I highly recommend this very pleasant hotel!
