Longsheng Hotels with Kitchens

"The reviews were absolutely spot on: the owner has impeccable taste, is incredibly kind, and truly goes out of their way to accommodate any request. I highly recommend the Sunrise Loft room. The hotel is perfectly situated between Viewing Platforms #1 and #2, giving it an absolutely unbeatable, prime location. Even though there were only two of us, we booked the 4-person loft room, and it was fantastic to lie in bed and watch the rice terraces. Unfortunately, a typhoon brought rain, so we missed the sunrise. However, we were treated to a vast and ethereal sea of clouds. Despite this minor regret, the trip was still incredibly worthwhile. The owner's homemade rice wine is absolutely delicious – cold, sweet, and refreshing. Enjoying it with tasty dishes like bamboo chicken was truly one of life's great pleasures. When we arrived, the owner kindly picked us up from the parking lot. On our departure, we were rushing to Yangshuo, and the owner recommended a driver who was not only charming but also incredibly skilled, navigating the winding mountain roads with impressive ease. Later, when we hired a car in Yangshuo, the local driver, upon hearing the price we paid for our transfer from the hotel, immediately exclaimed it was an incredibly fair deal. The owner is truly exceptional!"

"Absolute lovely hotel and really kind staff. They booked the buses from and to Guilin for me and picked me up at the parking lot. The hotel is in walking distance from the 3 sightseeing platforms. The rooms are pretty big, the shower has nice pressure and the balcony has a lovely view over the valley especially at night! The breakfast was a lot and really tasty and the food at the restaurant was great aswell."

"The staff of the accommodation is very helpful and friendly. They provided transport to the cable car station and helped us book bus tickets to Guilin city. The room is well-kept and spacious for 3 persons. The dinner menu has many options and breakfast provided was very good. The accommodation is located very near the cable car station, which makes it convenient to explore the sights."

"Mama and I had such a great experience here on our 3-day (2-night) trip to the 龙脊 rice terraces. Cannot recommend these guys enough! They were so friendly from the start and service was AMAZING.  We got quite lucky with our room. We were able to catch the sunrise every morning coming over the “back of the dragon”. Location was great too, being not too far from the 九龙五虎 and 七星半月 observation decks. Aside from the view, the place was clean with the usual amenities. Their home-cooked Guilin specialty meals also made for great dinner. Almost everything was home grown and locally sourced, and oh so tasty!  They were also great with our check-out and send-off, helping us organise a car/driver to our next stop (Yangshou) and a little farewell token that read “ 一生平安” which translates to “a lifetime of peace and safety”. We even picked up some of their monk fruit (羅漢果) and passion fruit (百香果) before we left! Thank you for making us feel so welcome 西窗月! Highly recommend booking with them! ☺️👌🏼"

"The owner kindly upgraded our room, and the view was absolutely stunning! We'll definitely be back for another stay. The complimentary private round-trip transfer service from the hotel to Dazhai car park was excellent. They also provided great assistance with booking tickets, offering convenient pick-up and drop-off right at the entrance of Jinkeng Dazhai. **Cleanliness:** Spotlessly clean. They even offer a delicious rice noodle breakfast in the morning. **Facilities:** Equipped with smart home features. The bathroom was sparkling clean, and the bathtub was a huge bonus! **Service:** The transfer service was incredibly thoughtful and caring."

"The hotel is nestled among the rice terraces and very close to the Jinkeng No. 3 Observation Deck, but it's not as quick as you might imagine. The climb up the stairs was a bit tiring, but it took about 15 minutes to reach the summit! The endless expanse of yellow and green rice terraces is truly stunning. Even with the traffic jam, the moment you arrive at the hotel and see the beautiful view is a welcome relief!"

"I stayed one night during my trip to Longji. I ate all three meals at the guesthouse; pre-booking was very convenient. The guesthouse is located not far from the viewing platform. They provided disposable towels and toilet seat covers. The bedding was simple cotton, and overall, the cleanliness was good. If you're from northern China and come at the end of October, it can be a bit chilly when it's windy, so bring extra layers. The owner was very kind, providing transportation and always ready to help. They even gave me rice wine and passion fruit as a parting gift. Highly recommended!"

"Had such a pleasant and memorable experience at this inn. The boss, Mr Yu, is super down to earth and sincere. He cooked super well too - taste is just nice, not too oily or salty. And all his ingredients are fresh from his farm, even the chickens and fishes. What a farm-to-table experience. As it is the low peak season now, he could sit down and have good chats with us. The room is huge, with an unblock mountain view. It’s also near to viewing point 2. There’s this cute inn dog who is so loyal. The room is well kept, with a balcony for you to sit and sip wine or tea. Note that there are insects because we are by the mountains but you could bring your own repellent. We slept well here. The driver, Mr Yang, who drove us up Long Ji also stayed at this inn. We asked that he drives us around for the three days we are here and send us back to Guilin city. His driving skill is very stable and he’s very well-versed with the mountain roads (as he’s a local). What can I say, this experience is simply too memorable. Human relationships forged is the magical part of travel. Would highly recommend you to come experience this inn for yourself (of course during the peak season, the boss might not have time to sit down for a chat). 在这民宿住了三天两晚，也是我们会记很久的回忆。余老板人很善良，也烧了一手好菜。食材都是新鲜的。房间搭理地很干净，我们住的很舒服。床是大床，阳台也很大。我们两个在那儿早上做瑜伽，听鸟叫声，简直太舒服了。看看老板烧菜，和嘟嘟（狗狗）玩，再和它去观景台看看。看杨师傅煮竹筒饭，煮笋，山上生活好惬意呀。这个人情味，回味无穷。"

"A Serene Retreat Amidst the Longji Rice Terraces | My 3-Day/2-Night Immersion at Qi'an No.1 Courtyard Pushing open the wooden window in the early morning, a sea of clouds slowly drifts across the rice terraces. This living landscape painting is perhaps what we envision as the ideal life. **About the Guesthouse** Perched at an altitude of 800 meters within the rice terraces, Qi'an No.1 Courtyard was meticulously designed by a Guangdong-based architect over two years. Its exterior thoughtfully preserves the traditional rammed earth technique of the Hongyao people, with wooden stilt-house structures built into the hillside, blending seamlessly with the terraced landscape. Stepping inside, however, you'll discover a captivating blend of modern design. **Space Aesthetics** The 'Senxia' room boasts 180-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, where morning mists frequently waft past the sills, silently narrating the timeless tales of the terraces. **Unforgettable Experiences** * **The Warmth of Smart Bathrooms** In this mountainous region of unpredictable temperatures, the heated seats of the smart toilets offer a surprising comfort, truly showcasing the designer's thoughtful consideration for guests. * **Cloud-Like Sleep** The skin-friendly softness of 60-count cotton bedding combined with the supportive comfort of a premium mattress promises an exceptionally tranquil night's rest. **Local Experiences** * **Lacquer Fan Making (Intangible Cultural Heritage)** Guests can experience traditional lacquer art, imprinting the beautiful patterns of the rice terraces onto their own handmade fans. * **Rice Wine Time** Savor locally brewed glutinous rice wine, a sweet and fragrant beverage that carries the essence of the surrounding mountains. * **Fireside Chats** Gather in the sunken courtyard and listen as the guesthouse owner shares captivating stories of life among the terraces. **Delicious Dining** Start your day with aromatic soy milk and rice noodles served with local chili sauce—simple yet bursting with authentic mountain flavors. Afternoon tea features perfectly sweetened cakes, a delightful treat. **Photography Tips** 1. **The Terrace at 7 AM**: The mist-shrouded terraces offer the most atmospheric and captivating photo opportunities. 2. **Terraces by the Guesthouse**: The dappled light and shadows here are ideal for stunning portraits. 3. **Hanfu Experience Area**: The modernized Hanfu outfits perfectly complement the stunning terrace backdrop. **Helpful Tips** * **Significant temperature swings between day and night**: Bring a windproof jacket. * **Some paths are steep**: Non-slip shoes are highly recommended for safety. **Getting There** Take the high-speed train to Guilin Station, then transfer to a scenic shuttle bus (approx. 2 hours). The guesthouse provides complimentary pick-up and drop-off service from the parking lot. Three days immersed in mountain life allowed me to reconnect with the gentle rhythm of time. As the city's hustle faded into the distance, the graceful lines of the rice terraces seemed to whisper a profound truth: life can, indeed, be this beautifully simple. #GuangxiGuesthouse #LongjiTerraces #HiddenGemTravel #SlowLiving"

"The B&B is located on the top of the mountain, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows for close viewing of the terraced fields. The distance to the two viewing platforms is very close. The room pictures on the platform are real, with a simple style, integrated with the surrounding natural environment, and more beautiful when you are there. The boss is a local, a kind and simple ethnic minority, and he cooks delicious food. When you chat with him, he will tell you about the local folk customs and tell you where it is more worth visiting. It is a very good accommodation experience."
