Very good
Posted on Sep 22, 2026
The B&B's location is pretty good, close to the 20-yuan banknote photo spot and the old town streets, making dining and shopping convenient. When you have free time, you can also go down to the Li River to sit by the water. However, there's road construction right outside, so you get dusty coming and going, and it's quite noisy during the day. The first room I booked was upgraded by the owner to the fourth floor; it was very large and spacious, but unfortunately, the projector was broken so I couldn't watch TV. They then moved me down one floor to a smaller room, but at least the TV worked. The only issue is that all the corners in the room had mildew stains, which was quite off-putting. Breakfast consisted of one bowl of noodles, a small piece of corn, and a boiled egg per person. Overall, for this price, the value for money isn't great.

The room is very good, but that’s where the positives end. I do not recommend it, especially at this price.

A beautiful house with convenient parking. The disposable amenities were comprehensive, and the room was clean and hygienic. The host was very kind, even lending us umbrellas when it rained. It's very close to the 20 yuan scenic spot, just a few minutes' walk away. The breakfast in the morning was also very rich. There are dining options right outside the door. A highly recommended guesthouse.

This hotel has five floors, and there's a photo spot on the rooftop – be careful going up and down. The rooms are spacious and bright. There's a restaurant right outside the hotel with good food at a reasonable price. The famous '20 RMB banknote' photo spot is nearby, a long stretch along the river perfect for pictures. You can also catch a boat for the Li River cruise from here. Currently, there's a temporary pontoon bridge for tourists to walk to Xingping Ancient Town, and a permanent bridge is under construction. The road leading to the hotel from the city center is also under construction; it's uneven and turns muddy when it rains. It'll be much better once it's finished. I think the hotel is run by a husband and wife. The proprietress is incredibly kind, hardworking, and polite. The owner, on the other hand, is a bit lazier. Breakfast is a set meal: a bowl of Guilin rice noodles, a cup of soy milk, an egg, a sweet potato, and a sugar tangerine.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, thank you for your detailed review! We are delighted that you enjoyed the hotel's spacious and bright rooms and the surrounding scenery (the backdrop of the 20 RMB note, the Li River pier). We are honored to know that you liked our restaurant and breakfast, especially the authentic Guilin rice noodles! 🍜 Your review is our greatest encouragement. The owner's wife's diligence is a source of pride for our husband-and-wife team, and we gladly accept your humorous comments (about the owner). We will turn this "encouragement" into motivation to make the owner work even harder! 💪 We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the poor road conditions during the construction period. We will continue to monitor the progress of the project and strive to restore a smooth road for you as soon as possible. We look forward to your next visit and a more comfortable trip to Xingping!

Convenient parking downstairs, well-equipped facilities, and a very comfortable stay. The room was clean and tidy, with neatly arranged linens. The environment is great, and the owner even recommended some good local food downstairs. Definitely worth recommending!

Overall my stay here was great. The room was clean, the location was ideal, and the service was excellent. The hotel seems to be run by a family that was super friendly and attentive. I asked for a drop off at the Yangshuo Rail Station and they kindly arranged one for me for free.

The room was clean and comfortable. The hostess was incredibly warm and even shared some of her home-grown fruit with us. We stayed for two nights, and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic. The location is convenient for getting around, and there are good dining options nearby, especially the delicious food at Lao Xie's place. Five-star review! 👍👍👍

The facilities, environment, hygiene, and service were all excellent. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery right from your window. The breakfast made by the owner was delicious, and they even offered free rides to the high-speed rail station. The service was fantastic! They also provided a one-time pick-up or drop-off service from Yangshuo High-Speed Rail Station to the hotel.

This is one of the best guesthouses in Xingping Ancient Town. The owner is very welcoming. It's a 5-story guesthouse with an elevator, and the rooftop offers great views and laundry facilities. It's a 3-5 minute walk to the ancient town and a 5-minute walk to the Dabao River ferry crossing, where you can cross the river to Xiangong Mountain Scenic Area.

It's a guesthouse, but the room was really spacious and clean. The amenities were super complete too – I was surprised they even had an elevator! The separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom were a big plus. Breakfast was delicious and quite authentic, with special rice noodles, sweet potatoes, eggs, and small oranges. It's really close to the '20 Yuan Viewpoint' and Xingping Ancient Town, just a few minutes' walk, which was super convenient.

Great location and spacious rooms. Parking is convenient for those driving. It's just a short walk to the bamboo rafting and the iconic 20 Yuan banknote photo spot. Finding places to eat nearby is also very easy.

The room facilities are brand new, featuring smart lighting controls, smart curtains, and a smart toilet. The balcony overlooks the Iron Bridge, with the ancient town just opposite, making the location incredibly convenient. The hotel is located within the Xingping Ancient Town scenic area. However, Xingping Ancient Town's overall infrastructure isn't quite as developed as Yangshuo's, and the road right outside the hotel still lacks proper municipal development.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the famous scenic spot featured on the 20-yuan banknote. Our room was incredibly spacious, complete with a balcony and even hangers, so we wasted no time in washing and hanging our clothes to dry right after checking in. In the evening, my husband and I also enjoyed a nice quiet drink. The rooftop was very stylishly decorated; every photo we took up there turned out beautifully. Oh, and the breakfast rice noodles were absolutely delicious!
