Scenic Hotels in Longsheng

"I stayed 3 nights, ate every dinner there and would absolutely come again! I was super lucky to get an upgrade on arrival (see photo of the view from my balcony 7am in the morning) I‘d read that staying 3 nights was too long, but for me it was perfect. I did the dazhai to ping‘an hike one day and took the gondola up the next day. On my last morning they even drove me down to the parking lot to get on the right bus. Super sweet! Only minor issue: my room was a non-smoker room and it really did not smell of smoke at all unless I tried to use the aircon. Somehow the air coming out of the aircon smelled of smoke. For me that wasn‘t a huge issue as I decided not to use the aircon & was fine."

"Extremely satisfied! The owner clearly puts a lot of thought and effort into running this guesthouse, and you can see that dedication in every detail. Not only is the decor superior to 95% of the other guesthouses around, but the food is also delicious, so we ended up eating most of our meals right here. The Dong minority young man working there was very proactive in helping us with our luggage, which really lightened our load after traveling. The complimentary coffee was also incredibly tasty; I even got a cup to go in my thermos to enjoy later. Both the hotel's facilities and the service made this trip incredibly pleasant."

"[Perfect Stay, Highly Recommended!] The guesthouse's design is absolutely fantastic! The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a direct view of the mountains, making every casual photo look like a professional shot. The bedding is skin-friendly, the bathrobes are soft, and quality shines through in every detail. The butler service was attentive, and the breakfast was authentic and exquisite. We even received a handwritten postcard upon check-out, which was a lovely touch. This is definitely a hidden gem worth revisiting!"

"Had a wonderful stay here! The owner was incredibly sincere and even offered personal pick-up and drop-off services. They were also very enthusiastic in providing travel tips and helping us plan our itinerary. A pleasant surprise was the fantastic room location; we could see the breathtaking terraced fields right from our balcony, and we were even lucky enough to catch the sunrise there. I must also mention that the owner's cooking was absolutely delicious! This time, I got to see the 'mirror' terraced fields, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the golden rice paddies here in autumn."

"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! ☺️👌🏼"

"Traveling with my family, young and old, during the May Day holiday, the room view was absolutely incredible! We could just lie on the sofa by the window and enjoy the stunning terraced fields – so comfortable and relaxing. The B&B is right next to the 'Thousand-Layer Terraces,' about a 15-20 minute walk away. Alternatively, the owner can drop you off at the cable car station to take the cable car up to 'Jinfoding' (Golden Buddha Peak), which the room directly faces. It made for a truly amazing experience. Dining at the B&B was also super convenient. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were authentic. A glass of their homemade rice wine really awakens your taste buds and lifts your spirits! 😁"

"Beautiful wooden mountain cabin with a breathtaking view from the window. The host was incredibly helpful – he even arranged our transfer to the next town. A wonderful family-run place with a gorgeous cat (his photos are what made me book in this place). The best stay we've had in a very long time. Highly recommended"

"Real five-star recommendation, completely beyond expectations! The whole is super love, the quiet wind, the simple and soft logs, the microcephaly wall with natural green plants, there is no complicated and fancy decoration, quiet and high-end, the tight mood of the door is relaxed instantly. The most amazing thing is the scenery outside the window! The view is wide, and the natural scenery is opened by the window. You can see the mist in the morning, sit in the evening and wait for the sunset, and sit by the window in your leisure time and drink tea, healing all daily fatigue."

"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!"

"This hotel is at a an absolutely stunning spot! Our room on the 5th floor offered a splendid view over the Longji rice terraces (Dazhai, Tianthouzhai), very close to scenic spot No. 1). If you like to hike, it‘s also a good location. We walked down on a beautiful path to Dazhai and from there up to the Golden Buddha Peak, which is at the upper station of the cable car. For going down to the Dazhai Parking Lot we took this cable car, a 20 minutes ride (55 RMB one way, April 2026). To get back to the hotel you can take the tourist scenic bus and walk the last 5 minutes up to the hotel. We can highly recommend this hotel! It is perfectly clean and we very much liked the washing machine in our room. The staff is very friendly. A small regret: We would have appreciated if there would have been more effort to communicate pro-actively, for example by using a translation app. Some advice to the different hiking paths and/or a map would have been helpful. But some Information can also be found on the internet."
