Jinzhu Hostel

LOCATION: Trip.com showed this stay as very close to the cable-car (Jinkeng terrace). That was the main reason for us to choose this place. But, on arrival, we found that this accommodation is about ~19 km far from the cable car station. So, it was an accidental choice for us. Nevertheless, this gave us an opportunity to enjoy this stay – free from hustle-bustle, no regrets. We realized the serenity of this place after visiting Dazhai! 😊 TRAVEL: Foreigners with family and kids. We traveled to the Longji Terraces from Yangshuo by 13:30 bus. It took us about 4 hours. Although we booked the ticket to Dazhai (last stop), we got off the bus at the Jinzhu intersection. The driver knows the hotel and its staff. I did reach out to Ms. Liao Yanzhen (aka Jane) through WeChat (same number as in Trip.com) before starting the journey. She informed the bus driver about us & it helped us a lot. ACCOMMODATION: It is located uphill from the Jinzhu intersection – about 15-minute walk. Since we had luggage, Ms. Jane arranged for a car to carry all our luggage to/from the stay. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Depending on the room type, a balcony view helps. I had the valley view, which was very nice early in the morning. The room is built on a treehouse concept with modern bath and restroom facilities. It had a kettle, WiFi, etc., all that comes with a standard reservation. FOOD: Received the menu available and the price per item through WeChat. The common dining area is spacious. Food portions were large and tasty! For the hotel location, the cost is reasonable. STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to make your stay comfortable. We managed all our interactions through the translator app. They surprised the kids with popcorn! During our stay, we played cards after dinner for a few hours in the common area, and the staff were kind enough to help us with table and chairs. Also, on the last day, they showed us their traditional way of preparing food and the ingredients. ONLY SUGGESTION to the hotel: please address the door noise. It is too loud and annoying for occupants as well as neighbors.

The hotel's hospitality was exceptional. We ate delicious dinner and breakfast cooked by them. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They held a programme for children where they taught them how to make rice cakes. The hotel is situated in a calm and pleasant environment. The amenities provided in the rooms were excellent.

房間非常有特色，古香古色又低調奢華，住在木房才有在山寨的感覺。周圍環境很棒，早晚都適合散步。這家民宿非常衞生整潔，配套用品都很有品質。（硬件很贊） 服務更是一流，有專屬貼身管家全方位服務，我們遇到的管家是阿彩姐姐，特別熱情，特別貼心：從一進寨子就提供特色酥油茶、陪同山間漫步介紹山寨和當地生活習俗、燒柴製作爆米花、準備特色早餐、晚上唱山歌，臨走還帶我們體驗磨豆腐、做餈粑，然後讓我們帶着自己做好的餈粑路上吃，真是讓我們很感動。當然還有很多貼心服務細節，列舉不過來（軟件更贊） 想沉浸式體驗山寨生活的寶子們，這裏肯定是首選，強烈推薦。 很難忘的

房間超出預期，環境優美，管家肖姐真是全能管家，服務好，做法好吃，一日三餐都吃肖姐做的飯，清晨的寨子伴着鳥鳴

房間是很有特色的，飯菜也很本地特色吃得很飽。唯一遺憾是住的兩天下雨，沒有在梯田逛逛。小狗友好，可以爬上爬下很廢狗

很有特色的一家民宿，在保留村寨原始風貌的同時又乾淨舒適，唄季家吊腳樓自帶觀景台可以欣賞整個壯寨美景，民宿管家肖姐和阿彩姐為人熱情，特別好客，肖姐做的一手好飯菜，連吃了兩天，每道菜都好吃，釀的米酒，甘甜清香，菜都是自己園子裏種的，綠色環保，民宿裏活動很多，有早上的打餈粑，下午的撈魚，非常難忘的住宿體驗，有機會再來龍脊，還會再來這個民宿～
