New Hotels in Longsheng

"Disclaimer: I am a genuine guest, and all the following reviews are authentic, with no embellishment. The photos and videos are originals, without filters or editing. 1. **Room**: The actual room matches the pictures online, and the window view is also consistent with what's advertised, so feel free to book with confidence. The king room features a tatami mat and a floor-to-ceiling window (which can be opened), while the twin room comes with a balcony. All bathrooms are designed with separate wet and dry areas, and the entire room is equipped with smart home features. Most importantly, the guesthouse has an elevator! An elevator! This is incredibly convenient for guests with luggage, seniors, or children. 2. **Cleanliness**: The lobby, restaurant, terrace, and rooms are all very clean and free of any peculiar smells. What's even better is that it didn't feel damp even when I stayed after the Qingming Festival (this is a big plus). 3. **Environment**: The guesthouse boasts a modern, minimalist decor with a bright overall color scheme, excellent natural light, and ventilation. All facilities and equipment are well-maintained, and the soft furnishings and decorations are thoughtfully chosen, making you feel right at home. There's a children's play area in the lobby, which also looks clean and tidy. Next to the restaurant, there's a public outdoor terrace with lounge chairs and tables, where you can comfortably relax, play, chat, or dine. 4. **Transportation**: Whether you drive yourself or take a chartered car/taxi, you can drive directly to the guesthouse entrance, which has its own parking area. For those traveling by bus, the guesthouse owner provides pick-up and drop-off services at the bus stop (Jinkeng Dazhai Parking Lot). The owner also offers rides to Viewing Platforms No. 1 and No. 2, or Cable Car Station No. 3. It's incredibly convenient and hassle-free (transportation in the villages of Longji Terraces can be quite inconvenient). 5. **Service**: The service absolutely deserves high praise; it's very thoughtful and attentive, with every request met. On the day of check-out, my chartered driver wasn't scheduled to pick us up until 4:30 PM, leaving our group of four with nowhere to go. We ended up staying in the guesthouse restaurant and on the terrace after checking out. The owner's family didn't mind at all and continued to host us warmly, which made us feel a bit embarrassed. In the end, they personally saw us off at the door. Throughout our trip, my parents kept raving about the place, and after returning home, they urged me to write a good review to express our gratitude. 6. **Food**: Breakfast is a freshly prepared set meal per person, consisting of a cup of soy milk + 1 corn + 1 bowl of Guilin rice noodles + 1 boiled egg. It's filling and delicious, and the eggs are from their own chickens. For lunch and dinner, I ordered à la carte at the guesthouse. All the chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables are home-grown or raised by the guesthouse itself, killed/picked and cooked fresh on the spot. Everything is incredibly fresh, and the portions are generous—definitely not pre-made food! The chickens and ducks roam freely on the owner's own land. What's more, the guesthouse owner's cooking skills are excellent; even my parents and aunt, who are experienced cooks, couldn't stop praising every dish. It all tasted great and suited our family's preferences perfectly. The owner also offers complimentary homemade rice wine, which is delicious, truly delicious—you must try it. If we weren't planning to spend a few more days in Yangshuo, I would have definitely bought some to take home. You absolutely must try the guesthouse's home-raised chicken, especially the chicken soup. After leaving, my parents kept talking about their chicken, saying it was different from any chicken we had at other farm-to-table restaurants in Yangshuo later on. Their chicken was tender and fresh, with the natural sweetness of chicken, not just seasoning. My parents kept saying that after our trip, they wanted me to contact the owner to order some to be delivered home. Because we had already tried the local specialties in the first few meals, for our last lunch, my parents just wanted some fresh vegetables from the field, and the owner didn't mind at all that we only ordered two vegetable dishes. Their homemade Luo Han Guo tea is also very good; the tea is rich. When we checked out, the proprietress even specially gave us two packaged bags as a parting gift—so thoughtful! I'll be contacting the proprietress to buy passion fruit after the National Day holiday when they ripen. 7. **Local Ethnic Attire**: The guesthouse provides local ethnic costumes for free, with several sets to choose from, including headwear. The clothes are new, clean, and you can wear and photograph them as much as you like. Furthermore, the owner has a beautiful wife and a pair of lovely sons, along with kind and honest-looking parents. The entire family is incredibly warm and sincere, making our stay very comfortable, reassuring, and pleasant. Happiness is infectious. Jinkeng Dazhai is truly beautiful, and I highly recommend everyone to visit!"

"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!"

"The scenery is beautiful in the morning and evening! The room is quiet, suitable for relaxing, the decoration is very new, the furniture and facilities are kept in the best state, and it is very safe to live."

"This was the best experience I've ever had with an hotel. First of all the place is very new, and you can tell. It is extremely clean and technologic (the toilet had a worming seat option) and the bathtub, the sofa and the bed were all super comfortable. The location is the best in the Longji park, close to view points 1 and 2. And from our room we could see the rice terraces. But the best thing were the owners. They got in contact with us before we arrived to make sure we knew the way. They welcomed us with hot tea, and explained to us where all the sightseeing points were. We had many questions and they patiently answered all of them. The service was amazing! Last thing: eat in the hotel! We ordered everything in the morning and in the evening we had the best dinner we had in China so far. The breakfast is also very good. This is really a gem, and we liked our stay very much. Thank you again for the hospitality!"

"The smart home system in the room worked really well, and we had a direct view of the terraced fields from our window. However, the air conditioning and mini-fridge were quite noisy at night, which might be a problem for light sleepers (like me), but my boyfriend slept soundly. Also, the tap water was cloudy for a while, which might be a common issue for guesthouses in the mountains. The owner was very welcoming, and the food was delicious, haha! The free breakfast was also quite generous. It was very convenient to get to the observation deck. Overall, I recommend it."

"Opening the window reveals terraced fields and verdant mountains; a small table on the terrace allows you to read or sip tea, bringing the mountain breeze into the room. The spicy chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with rice, it's so delicious you can't stop eating it—the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The owner is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home, completely free of the hustle and bustle of commercialism. This is definitely a hidden gem for escaping the city and healing your mind and body; it's already on my must-visit list for summer trips and deserves a five-star rating!"

"Environment: The guesthouse is located at the highest point in Mahai Village, offering panoramic views of the village's terraced fields. Enjoying dinner overlooking the fields is a truly breathtaking experience. The guesthouse's interior design is meticulous; the rooms were all designed by the young lady herself, incorporating local stilted house features with a modern, rustic wood style. Every detail shows great care. Service: The designer was incredibly kind and helpful, offering us their homegrown passion fruit and providing a photo service – very thoughtful. They also offer a special breakfast, and dinner features delicious homemade dishes – fantastic!"

"The room is facing the terraces. The overall decoration style is warm and bright, and the texture is high-end. I highly recommend it if I like to take pictures, because it is really a film. The housekeeper said that this is a room for designers to design and decorate. The housekeeper told us what time the terraced scenery is most suitable for taking pictures and the mirror effect. When I was eating, I also tasted Longji special rice wine, which was really intimate."

"Meeting Xintian's service was incredibly warm! They helped with transfers, carried our luggage, and even planned our terraced field sightseeing route. The guesthouse's home-style dishes were absolutely amazing – spring water stewed chicken, bamboo rice, and rice paddy fish. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were authentic; we ate there three times and never got tired of it. The room was spacious and bright. I thought facilities wouldn't be so complete up in the terraced fields, but there was a dry/wet separation in the bathroom, hot water, and air conditioning. The hygiene was spotless. Staying in the terraced fields felt as comfortable as being at home. We'll definitely come back next time!"

"The owner's new shop deserves a five-star review! 1. Panoramic balcony: Opening the balcony door leads directly to the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers viewing platform, offering direct views of the sunrise and even at night when the lights are on. 2. Panoramic hotel: Two walls of glass, very beautiful. 3. The hotel is very new; our room felt like the first time we'd ever stayed there. The owner's location is also quite high, offering superb views. 4. During the October 1st holiday, we mainly visited Ping'an Village. There was no traffic congestion, and the crowds were manageable, except for the intense sun and the somewhat arduous climb up the rice terraces. 5. The passion fruit the owner gave us was also delicious."
