Guixinju Guesthouse

Together with my girlfriend we stayed in this amazing hotel which we warmly recommend to anybody that wants to find peace, tranquility and kindness. The breakfast is nice, I enjoyed the hot fresh milk every day, the room is clean, the staff serious and always available. The boss is friendly and we enjoyed a lot the mushrooms alcohol ☺️ Everything was perfect, definitely convenient also for the position since we moved everyday by motorbike we could reach the mountains and the ancient city easily ❤️

We had a great experience staying at this guesthouse in Shaxi! The room was spacious and comfortable, though a bit cold in the middle of November. This was in the end no problem thanks to the heated blanket at our disposal. The guesthouse has a wonderful picturesque chinese-style garden, where it is enjoyable to sit and enjoy the sun. The staff was particularly friendly, very helpful to give tips to get us around, and managed to organize a last-minute taxi for us to drive back to Lijiang. Without them, we would have certainly missed our train. 100% recommended.

This place is amazing! Rooms are especially spacious and clean, and even a little table to pour your own tea. Rooms are vintage style but have modern amenities. Faces a very beautiful courtyard. The owners only speak Mandarin, but they always do their best to help (Helped me how to get to shibaoshan). The home cooked breakfast is also a very nice touch Recommend anyone to stay here.

The place was absolutely lovely! The garden at the entrance was beautiful, and the room was fantastic. The staff treated us so well and even provided fresh fruit and tea. The amenities were great, with air conditioning, a hair dryer, and a clean, modern bathroom with electronic features. The manager was incredibly kind and genuinely happy when he found out I could speak Chinese. Our stay was peaceful, and the location was perfect—just a 10-minute walk to the ancient town. I would absolutely stay there again if I had the chance. Keep in mind, though, that the staff doesn’t speak English, so it’s helpful to have a phone with internet access for translation when you check in. Remember to always present your passport and visa. If your country has visa-free agreements, you may need to explain that a visa isn’t required for you.

As soon as you enter, the architecture is strikes you. Its traditional classy Chinese, but homey. The courtyard is gorgeous with a beautiful pomegrante tree to one side, and a fish pind to the other. You can chill out at some guest tables or swing benches while you wait or plan for your day. The rooms are clean and well done. Also Chinese, but modernized. The doors are locked with an old style lock and key which gives it a unqiue old timey feel. The bathrooms are particularly well done with modern western toilets (with bidets if you're into that), and large showers. Id recommend trying the complimentary tea. Ours smelled of chocolate, but had a mild taste. The service is excellent, especially if you speak Chinese, though if not theyre still very friendly. The owner helped us out with a misunderstanding with a local restaurant, and even gave us a free bottle of his local liquor to try. The breakfast is quite good, if you like Chinese style of breakfasts. Youtiao, buckwheat pancakes, hard boiled or fried eggs, and very good local rice noodle soup. The location is very convenient as we drove there and its right off a main road. They also have parking if you check and ask. A unique and luxurious experience without breaking the bank. I will definitley come back as I really liked the small tourist village feel of shaxi, and this homestay was excellent.

My parents and daughter enjoyed the stay here!! The boss is very friendly and helpful! The breakfast was very delicious! Will definitely stay here again if I were to visit Shaxi!
