Hotel Romantik di Longsheng

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. 

My mum and I had the absolute best time at this hotel! The service is outstanding! The owner upgraded our room and really helped us with everything! The hotel food and tea/coffee is delicious and made with local ingredients! The view is also stunning. The room was spacious and spotless! The bed were also very comfortable and had everything we needed! My mum’s ankle was quite painful and it was hard for her to hike so the owner gave her medicine and a walking stick! Thank you!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and would absolutely stay here again. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our entire visit. They assisted us with our luggage, patiently communicated with us through WeChat translation, and even helped us organize transportation and plans for our trips around the rice terraces. Their hospitality really made our stay stress-free and enjoyable. The food at the hotel was also excellent. Every meal we had was delicious, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. The outstanding service, great food, warm atmosphere and stunning view on the rice terraces made this one of the best hotel experiences we've had. We would definitely stay here again!

Service: The owners are very caring. They handled our bus bookings and provided free transfers to/from the bus stop. They also gave us great tips on the best local scenic spots. Food: Exceptional quality. They use homegrown ingredients, and the flavors are balanced (not too spicy), which was a highlight of our trip. Value: Very fair prices. While other locals might upcharge for food, water and transport, this hotel maintains honest rates. Cleanliness: The rooms were very clean and comfortable. A truly pleasant stay, highly recommended!

An absolute gem in the Longji Rice Terraces – don’t miss it! We absolutely loved our stay at Moro. The hotel itself is beautiful, with breathtaking views over the rice terraces and a perfect location for exploring the area on foot. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and waking up surrounded by this incredible landscape is truly special. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was exceptionally kind, welcoming and genuinely caring. Whatever we needed, they were always there to help, finding a solution to every little problem and making sure everything was easy for us throughout our stay. Their warmth, attention and willingness to help went far beyond what we expected and made us feel incredibly well looked after. Another huge highlight was the food. We had both lunch and dinner at the hotel and everything was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and local, the dishes were beautifully prepared, and honestly every single thing we tried was excellent. Some of the best food we had during our entire trip to China! We genuinely cannot recommend Moro enough. If you are planning to visit the Longji Rice Terraces, this is the place to stay. Beautiful hotel, spectacular scenery, fantastic food and, above all, an exceptional team of people who make the whole experience truly memorable. We would come back without hesitation. Don’t miss this place!

A comfortable, clean, family-run hotel in an excellent location, with a warm and homey atmosphere. Coming from Chongqing, we especially appreciated how the owners went the extra mile to organize a shuttle pickup for us from Guilin North Railway Station. The shuttle connected perfectly with the regular bus to Dazhai, making the journey smooth and stress-free. They also kindly transport guests to and from the main parking area before entering Dazhai village itself. After a long day hiking through the breathtaking rice terraces, we highly recommend trying the delicious homemade Chinese dishes prepared by the owner’s wife — authentic, fresh, and exactly what you need after trekking. Two final tips: don’t miss the chance to try on the complimentary traditional local clothing and take photos. It’s a fun and memorable touch that adds even more charm to the overall experience. Also, for a small fee (around 50 yuan), we had a wonderful cultural experience with two local women who proudly showcased their traditionally long hair and kindly posed with us for photos. It was a unique and memorable moment that made our stay even more special.

房源位於梯田最高處屬金坑大寨景觀無敵我們自駕過去山路最陡處達60多度回憶起來仍覺驚險但是房東主動提出可以代駕房間是木質結構隔音不太好所以提示動作輕輕避免影響他人熱水充足位置很好緊鄰一號觀景台步行去二號觀景台衹需二十多分鐘這兩個觀景台可看到最壯觀的梯田風景無需再去其他觀景台了自帶餐飲食材新鮮房源性價比很高

This place is simply wonderful!!! Located in a quiet place in Tiantouzhai Village, with a wonderful view over rice terraces, it was a perfect spot to explore Dazhai area and to hike from there to Ping'an. Room was exquisite and equipped with all the necessary for a comfortable stay, and also the common areas and the terrace were lovely to spend some free time. But the best part is the staff: the owner was really precious and helped me arrange transportation from Guilin and to Yangshuo; especially for this transfer his help was fundamental, since the organization was quite tricky for several reasons... but thanks to him we enjoyed our time in Longsheng area with great peace of mind, while he took care of everything! Of course he also gave us great advice about how to properly visit Dazhai and Ping'an scenic spots. I really cannot recommend this place enough! Thanks for everything!

來龍脊梯田，住全景樓就對了！這裏簡直是拍照聖地，無論是房間落地窗、山頂觀景台還是木質吊腳樓，隨便一個角度都巨出片。酒店還提供免費民族服裝，穿上在梯田邊拍照，氛圍感拉滿。 作為帶娃家庭，我們最關心的是便利性。全景樓大酒店完全滿足了我們的需求。酒店有電梯，對帶小孩和長者非常友好。房間寬敞乾淨，還有親子房可選。酒店位置絕佳，看日出雲海不用早起，躺在床上就能看。晚上還有煙花表演，小朋友特別喜歡。

We had a great time chatting with the host. She's super nice and friendly. When you arrive, call her and she will provide instructions on how to reach their parking lot, from where they will get your luggage up the hill. There's a 5-10 min climb to reach the hotel. Location wise, it's close to view point 2 and about 30 min walk from view point 1. Room has some view though amentity is pretty basic. Some small details not taken care of but not a big deal. Washroom is really small and you might need to wait for a while for water to heat up. You can order dinner in the afternoon and food will be ready at night. Fair price compared to other restaurants on the mountain.
