Again due to Covid I Think the building need a bit of refurbishment but everything is in working condition, for the price we have paid , I have nothing to complaint about .

It situated in a village so it’s convenient enough to get everything you need, restaurants , coffee shop , local convenient shops . Hotel host is very nice , the rooms are clean .

Most helpful & hospitable place where we got support for every single question and travel plan. All special requests were responded to, including him organising us take away dinner when everything was closed nearby after our schedule got a bit late. Breakfast (Western or Chinese if so requested) with coffee, comfortable beds. Quiet stay in a small village 15min didi ride away from the city, which is what we wanted. Exercise area around the village for joggers & walkers. He helped us to get to the rice terraces and with other logistics. communication smooth with translation apps.

Everything was so perfect!

The staff was so friendly and hospitable, he even invited us for a BBQ with his friends and we had such a wonderful evening! He also brought our suitcases upstairs to our room and cut some watermelon for us, when we arrived. The room was very cosy and clean and had all the facilties you need. It’s located in a very beautiful neighbourhood, which is very calm and cosy at night! We had a lovely view of the mountains from our window. You can ask him anything you need and he arrange it for you, like a beautiful private tour with a English speaking driver to the Longji Rice Terraces, fixing the tandem bike to a perfect hight, so we could cycle in the city, and a taxi to our train. Even though he could speak English very well, we could communicate very well via translate!

The staff were welcoming and had upgraded one of the rooms so it was next to the other. The location provided the perfect opportunity to enjoy the scenery and local flora.

We had some mosquitoes in the room, however electrical mosquito repellent is provided for the room.

The host was extremely welcoming and helped us book transfers from and to the train station as well as a fabulous tour to Yangshuo and the scenic Li River. The room was spacious, clean and decoration was lovely. The host prepared fresh fruit and water every day for us to take away. Breakfast was excellent as a freshly made delicious Guilin noodle dish has been served. The place is in walking distance to Reed Flute Cave, but a bit far out of the city centre, so we mostly took public transportation and taxis to get around. There are some local eateries very close to the hotel. Although we do not speak Chinese very well, communication with the hosts was not a problem thanks to technology. All in all a wonderful stay! We definitely recommend the Secret Courtyard Resort Hotel to anyone visiting Guilin!

The heating is not fully warming up the room in winter. Would recommend to go in warmer times or take some warm pyjama's.

The owner is very friendly and always ready to help. The location is in a nice and tranquille area slightly outside the city center. A 5min taxi drive would get you to the city. The breakfast choices are reduced but the owner is willing to adjust if you ask.

We lived everything - and highly recommend this place.

This is a beautiful little hotel, full of character and comfort, in a beautiful setting, within easy reach of the city centre. The hospitality from our host was AMAZING - such a welcome (accompanied by fresh fruit and cold drinks) every time we returned back to the hotel.

Unfortunately the weather was not good while we stayed there and the bed pillows were a bit too small and insufficient to support you during the night, but this could easily be changed.

The manager (and receptionist/chef/guide) was very accommodating and went out of his way to help with day trips, transport and advice. The guesthouse was mostly very comfortable and located in a small village on the outskirts of Guilin that made it easy to walk into nearby villages and mountains.

very comfortable room with great view. they went out of their way to help me find my way around and get out on some trips. Nice walk to nearby reed flute cave

It's not so much what I did not like, but note you would need a taxi for attractions within Guilin. There are some Chinese restaurants on the "island" in the immediate vicinity, but if you want more than that, you'll need to go into Guilin. Also note that if you are infirm, you should ask for a ground floor room as there are a lot of steep stairs.

The owner/manager was helpful. The room was a good size and it was clean. The car I ordered for the ride back to the airport was excellent. If you want to stay near the Reed Flute caves, this is certainly a good option. You can walk there in 20 minutes via a pedestrianised back route. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was for fit purpose, but not elaborate - a choice of Guilin Noodles or Eggs in Toast along with yoghurt and a piece of fruit. (If you want toast rather than warm bread, you'll need to explain that carefully). It was excellent value.

The baby cot wasn’t great. It had signs of wear and tear and needed repair.

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. He was friendly and wanted to help solve any issues we had. A wonderful man.
