Hotel di Longji Terraced Field-Ping'An Zhuang Village, Longsheng

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! ☺️👌🏼

Our arrival to the village was a bit difficult and we might have been a tad grumpy after having to climb up 20minutes vertically from the bus stop to the hotel with our 2 heavy suitcases, but immediately upon arrival our mood took a 360 shift. The owner was super friendly and told us that he even tried to reach us to pick us up by car but couldn’t due to our international number. We then got a room upgrade and he showed us where we can head out to see the first sights. We originally planned to stay only 1 night, but ended up loving our stay so much that we stayed an extra evening. We had a very nice European breakfast on the hotel’s beautiful view and made friends with the local cat. All the hikes and cultural experiences around were amazing, we especially liked the Dazhai-Ping’an hike, with so many amazing sights and views along the road. Was probably the most relaxing and enjoyable 3 days in our 3 week trip in south China. At the end of our stay the owner drove us down to the bus. We would absolutely love to come back and spend a full week here in any other season.

Wonderful hotel and service was above and beyond. The location is brilliant because it’s closer to the rice terraces than any other but you will need to ask the hotel owner to collect you from the car park because it’s a 30 min walk otherwise. They also helped me to arrange a bus back to Guilin and called the driver for me as well as helping me to buy a ticket for the Huangluo Yao village show. The room itself is beautiful and the pictures were extremely accurate

If you get the chance to visit Longji/Longsheng to hike through the amazing rice paddies, then you absolutely must stay at Li'An Lodge. The rooms are lovely, clean and quaint, and a cultural alternative to the more modern options in the larger cities. The lodge is run by Aaron who goes above and beyond to help visitors, give local recs, and speaks perfect English. He will also help you avoid any tourist traps.  Li'An lodge is also built on the highest point so you have a fabulous view, and is situated right at the starting point of the main hike in local area. The rooms give you a great view of the rice paddies and the village.  The food is simple and great, or you can eat around the town, which is very atmospheric. We came in the low season end of March, which was misty but fab and we had most of the places to ourselves.  Really can't recommend enough. If you get to Guilinxi (station) they will send a driver to get you. You can also book directly with the hotel over email with Aaron which is easy and efficient. 

We had an amazing stay, the view was spectacular and the staff were extremely hospitable. On our last day we had trouble getting to the neighbouring town (Dazhai) to sightsee, however the hotel staff were able to help us out, drove us there, and then even back to Guilin City to our next accommodation! The hotel also serves food, so breakfast and dinner were no problem. The food was delicious and authentic, made with local ingredients. We would definitely recommend to our friends and family to stay here on their next trip.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location couldn’t be better everything was within walking distance, which made exploring rice fields so easy and enjoyable. The hotel itself was spotless and very comfortable, but what really stood out was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and always ready to help us with tips and recommendations. They made us feel truly welcome from start to finish.

Everything was amazing. We opted to upgrade our room when we got there for a higher floor. The view was really nice (when there was no fog). The man who ran the hotel also spoke good English meaning he could explain routes to us. Hotel was also located close to the gate meant convenient access to the transportation in and out of the park. Rooms were also very spacious and the hotel provided for everything that was needed. Only drawback I would say is the lack of an elevator. Meaning if you’re on the fourth floor like we were, it was a hike up and down everyday.

Amazing service by the owner. Beautiful room with beautiful view. Room is amazing. The hotel is up on the hill. Owner was extremely kind in helping us to carry our luggages up. 100% would revisit again.

因為趕上雨季，對於店家來説可能算是淡季了，但是對我來説剛剛好，環境幽靜，伴隨幽幽的泉水聲，簡直都不想離開，甚至覺得衹住一晚太遺憾了，尤其店主的服務態度根廚藝都太滿意了，態度好就算了，家常米粉煮的都比外面的店子好吃，遺憾的大概就是美訂到270度的山景房，不能欣賞更多的美景，下次跟朋友再來的話，一定會多住幾天

Hotel yang sangat disyorkan, dan pasangan yang cantik. Mereka menjemput kami di tempat letak kereta pada waktu malam dan membantu kami membawa bagasi kami ke hotel. Mereka menghidangkan kami makan malam yang lazat, memberi kami minuman keras beras, dan juga memberi kami nombor telefon mereka sekiranya kami perlu menghubungi mereka pada bila-bila masa semasa laluan kami yang dirancang. Pada hari terakhir, mereka membantu kami mengatur pengangkutan kembali ke Yangshuo dan membawa kami kembali ke tempat pengambilan teksi. Sarapan pagi adalah luar biasa. Pemilik hotel tinggal bersama kami sehingga saat akhir, menunggu teksi kami tiba sekiranya kami menghadapi sebarang masalah. Akhirnya, pemandangan dari hotel itu luar biasa!
