    The hotel surrounding is scenic, morning coffee is surprisingly good. We appreciate the housekeeper Xiao Ming and the tour manager Xiao Qin efforts to ensure we are comfortable and complete my foodie list search. Their excellent service made our Guilin trip a memorable tour.

    I travel a lot and have never had such a good hotel experience. Everything was perfect, from the free pick-up at the train station, where we got water right away, to the amazing atmosphere of the hotel and the luxurious rooms. The owner of the hotel knows how to make his guests feel at home, he helped and advised us with everything, he prepared an excellent breakfast every morning and on the day of departure he also gave us a card to another hotel room so that we could use the bathroom, since check-out was at 14:00 and we left at midnight. At the end of our stay, we also received a gift - excellent attitude, clearly the best accommodation of the entire stay in China. 100% recommended

    The host gave 12 out of 10 service! He was very hospitable, quick to respond to messages, and always here to help. He helped us arrange a transfer to the pier for the ferry for a fair price. The rooms were spacious, nice views of the surrounding areas. It was a little outside the main city, but no problem to reach the main sights with 10min taxi drive. Walking distance to the flute reed cave. The breakfast was plentiful. Would certainly stay again!

    The host is so nice and friendly. He could arrange and do whatever you ask for if possible. He always prepares a delicious breakfast with free Fruit and also provides a gift when I was leaving from this stay. The room is neatly, clean, well design and also has a great mountain view. He did a free upgrade for us when we were checked in. It is recommended for whom like the nature and simple village life style.

    The outside bathtub was quite dirty at check-in, washed myself to use. The view from the bed was not what I expected from the pictures (no direct view).

    Charming and homey little place with a friendly and helpful on-site manager. The Chinese noodle breakfast was very good. The outdoor clawfoot bathtub was cool.

    Extremely warming staff and great service. The breakfast was very good, a lot of extra snacks and fruits were provided as complimentary gifts! Extraordinary view from hotel and nice experience of such a special village in Guilin. The owner even provides taxi-calling and takeaway-ordering service to perfect our staying experience.

    It was not the standard five star hotel that I would normally stay at, but the place has a lot of unique charm And the guy who runs it is five star. He took care of all of our needs and helped us out as we scrambled for the train station. Not super fancy, but I would stay there again. If you’re looking for a more localized, charming feel, I would give it a try

    Very nice and friendly host. We got nice and refreshing welcome drinks and fruits upon arrival. Spacious, clean and quiet room with mountain view. The bed is very comfortable. Recommend to try the local noodles for breakfast. It's delicious 😋. Coffee is👍 too. About 12-15 mins walking distance to the famous Reed Flute Cave. The host can also arrange local tours. Very cosy and relaxing environment. You will like this resort and appreciate the service.

    The hotel is charming, located in a very quiete and peaceful location, walking distance from the Reed Flute caves and a short taxi ride to the town centre. Since we were staying 2 nights, they picked us up from the train station which was very helpful. The room and washroom we stayed in was very clean and well furnished. We are very impressed by the owner's hospitality and generosity. When we arrived there, we were welcome with smiles, oranges and tea. They offer assistance with tours in the region and transportation. We must mention two things that we are grateful that the hotel has exceptional quality for its services. First, we asked if it was possible to reduce our stay by one day, the owner had no hesitation to accept our change. Second, as we left early from the hotel room in a rush we forgot two personal items in the room. The owner contacted us right away and arranged the delivery our items to our new location more than an hour away. We highly rate and recommend this hotel.

    The room could’ve done with some modernising and repair work, but still a very comfortable stay.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Secret Courtyard in the lovely quiet village of Lujia, close to the Reed Flute Caves and only a convenient 15 min taxi into the city. The host always went out of his way to help us and make our stay really awesome. Super helpful and friendly with great local recommendations and day trip tips. The Guilin noodles for breakfast are worth a special mention!

    Nothing. We had a great experience

    The location is very quiet and relaxing. The hotel is located in a cute little village, walking distance from the reed flute caves and there are many options for nice walks along the river. The hotel is very beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly. We also did a tour organised by the hotel staff and it was superb.

    A charming boutique hotel with traditional decoration and modern facilities. Nice breakfast served in the morning. The hotel is a pleasant walk away from the Reed Flute caves but requires transportation to reach the city center. The hotel arranged for someone to pick me up at the railway station. The driver arrived a few minutes late but arrived and brought me to the hotel.
