We arrived in Xijiang and were immediately met with such a kind surprise—they upgraded our room for my birthday, which truly set the tone for our entire stay. We were on the third floor with the most wonderful view, looking out over their little water feature and the village beyond. Our balcony, complete with a tea set and two chairs, quickly became one of our favorite spots. Sitting there, especially in the evening, felt magical—like we were nestled among the stars overlooking the town. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the viewing platform and easily accessible down into the main village. Arriving was also incredibly smooth. As first-time visitors to China, we were quite nervous navigating trains and logistics as English speakers, but the hotel staff stepped in early with clear, thoughtful guidance. From the very beginning, they were attentive, responsive, and genuinely kind. When we arrived at the North Gate after taking the shuttle into the scenic area, a staff member met us and carried both of our bags up the hill and stairs to the accommodation. This was such a thoughtful gesture—especially because the terrain can be challenging. (For future travelers: if possible, avoid bringing heavy suitcases—but if you do, you’ll be very well taken care of here.) Check-in was seamless, and our room was extremely comfortable with all the amenities we needed. They provided water, soft robes, and made communication very easy via WeChat. Breakfast was also a highlight—we opted for the Chinese breakfast, which was light, healthy, and a perfect way to start the day before exploring all the incredible street food in town. We especially loved the communal living space—a cozy café-style area with a balcony overlooking the village. It was such a peaceful place to sit, have tea, and take in the views both during the day and under the night sky. They also had everything you could need: a coffee maker, dishes, mugs, and even fresh spring water, which was a lovely touch. The warmth of the people here truly made the experience unforgettable. The housekeeping staff were so kind, and the younger staff members were incredibly helpful and attentive. It really felt like being welcomed into a home rather than just staying at a hotel. And the little cats around the property made it even more special. On our departure day, we were running late for the last bus, and one of the younger staff members carried my very heavy bag down the hill and practically ran with it to make sure we made it on time. He stayed with us until we were safely on board. That level of care and service is something we will never forget. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, thank you, thank you again to the family and the entire staff for your kindness and for taking such wonderful care of us. You made our short stay in Xijiang an absolute pleasure and a weekend we will remember forever.

The environment is great, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. Staying on the ground floor is even better because you can park your car right outside, which makes it easy to unload luggage. The high humidity in summer was actually good for my skin! The only downside was that clothes don't dry outside, so I had to hang them indoors. The hotel breakfast was a bit simple, but everything else was fine. The hotel is just across the bridge from the scenic area entrance, and you can even play in the water under the bridge.

I personally think the exterior is very impressive; it's rare to see a hotel with this kind of design and size nowadays. The entire ancient town is beautifully crafted and has a great style. The hotel service is also very good. For a county town, everything here is excellent. Breakfast is good too, with a mix of Western and Chinese options, and even bagels. The coffee is decent. Sister Zhu's Stir-fry at the entrance of the ancient town is also delicious 😋. It's very close to Zhijindong Cave, so staying here is perfect for visiting the area.

This was the most satisfying B&B on our trip. My car had a minor issue and I had to go to the dealership, but I was drawn to the ancient town's nightscape and stopped by fortuitously. How can I describe the feeling of walking in? Awesome, surprising, and warm... Ah, it's like that saying, everything is perfectly arranged. The kids fished in the rice paddies, I tried batik, there was a delicious restaurant next door, I scooped up some fresh water from the ancient well to the left of the inn, and at dusk I watched the twinkling stars from the rooftop... It all made me love it, so satisfying. Even the cartoon figurines were immaculately clean. Every detail was thoughtfully thought out, and it felt like home. If I hadn't checked the car first, my travel companions and I would have wanted to stay and spend a few days there.

This internet-famous guesthouse truly lives up to its reputation, with a total of 24 rooms. The biggest drawback is the number of stairs and the lack of an elevator, but everything else is excellent! Location: It's situated next to the Balinghe Bridge in Guanling, about a 15-20 minute drive from the main Huangguoshu scenic area. Ambiance: It's a popular guesthouse located in a small, charming village. The air is filled with the scent of mugwort. The 4th-floor observation deck is perfect for watching both sunsets and sunrises. You'll hear roosters crowing in the morning. Facilities: Be prepared to climb stairs, as the highest floor is the 4th. There is a dedicated luggage elevator for your bags. The rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the air conditioning is powerful but a bit noisy (earplugs are provided by the hotel). There's a self-service laundry room with two washing machines and two dryers, along with laundry pods. Service: The butler-style service is prompt and friendly. I really appreciated the small farewell gift upon check-out. Cleanliness: Very good. Restaurant: They offer a buffet breakfast, à la carte lunch, and dinner requires advance ordering and reservation, with a notification when it's ready. The cocktails at the bar are excellent.

The view from halfway up the mountain was absolutely stunning. Everyone at the guesthouse was incredibly kind, doing their best to meet guests' needs and offering various forms of assistance. Even though it was past mealtime when we checked in, they still cooked a single meal. For those of us who prefer a relaxed trip, we booked dinner at the guesthouse; it was home-style cooking, reasonably priced, and quite delicious. The kitchen was also visibly clean. Breakfast had a slightly limited selection, but they did have noodles, which were pretty good. Non-instant coffee could be ordered separately. Overall, it was perfect for a laid-back, relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, my itinerary was also quite relaxed and casual; I only stayed one night. I had already booked hotels for the following days, otherwise I really wanted to stay longer.

I was very satisfied with this Sofitel hotel. The views from the high-rise hotel and the breakfast were truly captivating! The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in the high-floor room offered expansive views. During the day, you could see clouds surrounding the city, and overlooking Jiaxiu Tower, I saw many tourists there, making every photo a stunning shot. The buffet breakfast was rich and varied, offering both Chinese and Western options. The Guizhou-style spicy chicken noodles had an authentic taste, and the freshly ground coffee and French pastries were fresh and delicious. Janice from Guest Relations not only contacted me in advance but also provided a delicious cake and special room decorations. Lyla at the lounge was also very warm and professional. The hardware facilities and the scenery were perfectly integrated. Super satisfied! 👍🏻

Thanks to Trip.com for this wonderful hotel. All of us (4 pax) LOVED this hotel. Very strategically located amongst food centers, shops and local activities. Views from this hotel is fantastic...accentuated by the river and lights at night. Again, our stays exceeded the HIGH 5 Star ratings.... Ms Chen, Manager of the hotel is EXTREMELY helpful and resourceful in giving valuable suggestions thus making our stay, a delightful vacation. Well done, Ms Chen, an original Miao native and her efficient team, Ms Wu and others. Wonderful staff, including housekeeping... Definitely, will recommend to visit Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village and staying at Xijiang Story Resort Hotel is a Super Plus advantage. Note: attached are just few pictures taken from handphone of/from XSR Hotel.

Last time I stayed at Wanfenglin, the rice paddies hadn't grown yet, and the surrounding natural scenery wasn't great. I left an honest review on the platform, and to my surprise, the owner took my feedback very seriously. They patiently communicated with me and frequently sent real-time photos of the scenery, inviting us back to Wanfenglin – it was very genuine. This time, my family went to Wanfenglin, and because they were so touched by the owner's sincerity, they chose Yuqi Inn again. The owner was warm and thoughtful, kindly upgraded our room, and provided meticulous care throughout our stay, which my family truly appreciated. The scenery in Wanfenglin is only going to get more beautiful, and this guesthouse, with its dedicated hospitality, is definitely worth experiencing.
