Huakaixiaoyuan Homestay (Longsheng Longji Terraced Field Viewing Terrace)

Very kind and nice staff, rooms are clean and pretty. The location is right between viewing decks 1 and 2 (around 15 mn hike to either) which is nice for hiking. The couple managing this hotel really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and they gave fruits, dessert, wine and really good breakfast. We had dinner there and it was delicious home cooked food, they were very accommodating about food preferences and restrictions. They also helped us book the bus from Guilin and back which was really great. Their dogs and cats are super cute and gentle. Thank you for such a great stay!

The hotel is situated really nice in the village and the view from the room is good, it is possible to see the rice terraces; the only downside is the tree blocking partly the view on the terraces. The village itself is very quiet, many hotels/restaurants closed down during/after covid, and it was really different compared to the vibrant life we saw back in 2017 when we also visited this village. The room was basic but really nice and clean and the bed comfortable. The owners do not speak English, but were super friendly and helpful. They arranged transfers from/to the airport, were happy to give us tips about the surroundings and made sure we always had enough hot&cold drinking water. The dinner (which you can buy from the menu) was ok, but there are better restaurants in town. The free breakfast was very simple. All in all we had a nice stay at this hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at this home stay! The family were incredible and catered to the needs of our vegan friends. Fresh breads, noodles and dishes were prepared for our arrival and a pick-up service was offered. The owner’s daughter, who is currently studying at university, was able to support us with her good understanding of the English Language. During our stay, we got slightly lost on our hike but the family contacted us with a better, safer route once we shared our location.
