Super nice and welcoming hostel! I spent there two nights, it was super fun. Very social hostel with the option to have a dinner together in the restaurant close by that serves local food. They organised some trips and social activities like bachata classes. Shops, restaurants, street food close by, huge park as well. I recommend it a lot, the best option in Guilin!
Good value for money with a convenient location near transport and shops. Rooms are clean and decent, but the hotel feels average, with some wear and possible noise. Best for short stays.
ゲゲストChuxin Homestay felt more like staying with thoughtful hosts than at a typical Yangshuo lodging. The room was quiet, spacious, and well kept, and the bed was comfortable enough to rest well after long days out. Getting around was easy with scooter rentals close by and simple food options nearby. What really made the stay smooth was the owner’s guidance — she helped map out our days realistically, steered us toward fairly priced experiences, and discouraged activities that weren’t worth the money. We arrived late on our first night and were still warmly welcomed, which immediately set the tone for the stay. Communication was always clear and timely, and the place felt safe and well managed. A small but memorable detail was Fa Cai, the calm and friendly house dog. If you prefer an honest stay without tourist traps, this homestay is a solid choice.
ゲゲストThe view from the ”Premium Double Room” is fake - the hotel admitted to adding the karst mountains during ”post-production”. Do not book the room if you want dual aspect views onto the famous karst mountains (one side of the room faces some mountains (good view), but the other side faces some buildings).
When we raised their falsification on the advertisement with the reception they admitted to faking the views, and we were able to negotiate electric bike rental as compensation.
However, overall the hotel is good. 20 minute walk into city centre, clean, friendly staff, and a decent view (even if not as advertised) from some rooms. Good for the price!
I wouldn't normally comment on this, but given the other issues we faced it seems that this hotel manager is as opportunistic as possible to exploit and sort change guests. When we arrived, we were given a downgraded room (i.e. facing a concrete wall). When we raised it was the downgraded one we asked for the room we had booked (double aspect windows with the view of the mountains). She was able to give us that room, but as I already explained the photograph of the room advertised contains fake imagery to deceive guests. I hope they change this in the future so that other guests are not deceived like us.
Regarding the compensation for staying in the hotel despite the false advertising, we had negotiated free electric bike rental for one and a half days, and a ¥20 discount to be collected at the end. (They only accepted after I threatened to write an honest review and complain to Trip.com). Unfortunately, on the last day they didn't let us use the e-bike because it was drizzling (only in the morning, it was a bright sunny day for the rest of the day), and then they refused to refund the ¥20 as agreed on the basis that we'd used the e-bikes for half a day (the previous afternoon).
(I have written evidence (via my translation app history) of all of this should the hotel respond and say that I'm not telling the truth).
I am sharing a REAL photo of the room so future guests are aware of the view. I recommend that the hotel improves the honesty of their advertising.
ゲゲストNice and clean room, we enjoyed our stay there! It was very easy to store our bicycles in the lobby, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They don't speak English but will do their best to help you anyway.
匿匿名ユーザーVery nice and quiet accommodation with a great view of the surrounding mountains from the terrace. From the accommodation, you can hike up Damian Mountain (approx. 1 hour), from where you have a great view of the breathtaking landscape. The accommodation provides information and a flashlight (for climbing at sunrise). The viewpoint on Xianggong Mountain can also be reached on foot in about 1 hour. The breakfast was very tasty and the host extremely friendly. I was picked up from the ferry by car and brought back again.
JJanWonderful room with a great view, in the heart of the town right next to the Li River, and this very good restaurant on the rooftop, that serves traditional Chinese/local meals, as well as this super-excellent pizza! And the staff?! The best of all time :)
MMukul_ChauhanThis hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is absolutely perfect, and the staff was not only helpful but also incredibly kind and humble. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable stay. Thank you for making my experience so wonderful!
