Excellent hospitality, beautiful rooms and heated blankets when nights were cold. Qin provided the tour and we crammed many things into our three day stay.

The room was very clean, all amenities are provided, during colder time they provide bed heater. Location is quiet and calm (very recommended for running/walking around) and not too far from Railway station (15 mins drive). The breakfast was also very nice , it feels like home! The building feels and looks very modern chinese. I would give 11/10 for the receptionist! He was very kind and friendly! Would 100% recommend when you’re planning to stay in Guilin.

Excellent service and the room was great for the kids as they enjoyed playing with the soft toys and novelty of the bunk bed which they don’t have at home. Breakfast was a western toast and egg option or rice noodle. Lovely driver and guide who took us around Guilin and the city itself on the days we were there, highly recommended!

The room is spacious and clean. When we arrived & departed, they helped us to carry our luggage up and down the stairs. Breakfast of both Chinese and Western are simple but delicious. Free laundry service. It is recommended to hire car and driver for a day to tour to the outskirts. Our guide and driver Eric, is excellent in bringing us around and introducing nice food and places of interest. He is also very knowledgeable. DiDi is also easily available.

The last few days at the resort have been perfect. The room is spacious and bright, and the scenery outside the window is lake and mountain. When I open the window, the fresh air comes with the fragrance of grass and trees. The hotel is well equipped, and the nearby dining is varied and the specials are delicious. Warm and attentive staff are taken care of from arrival to departure, come back next time!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great customer service: they kept in touch with me through the chat when I missed my train from Hong Kong, which with this being my first ever trip to China was a great support. They also helped me with trips and booked and arranged my cruise to Yanhshuo with the best company. The property is located in a charming village on the outskirts of Guilin, surrounded by farms. The town can either be reached with an easy DD ride or, like I did, by bicycle. The latter allows you to get the most amazing experience as you reach the centre of the town by following the excellent cycling paths along either the Taohua river and the Yangjia Pond. The views from both rides are magical. If you do so, please don't miss crossing the river from the bridge at Lucia

Enjoyed the friendly family run small hotel / Inn. The rooms were small but nicely set up & clean. Got some laundry done & it was free thank you for that 🙏 Had a great breakfast with the Inn keeper, good coffee & tea . Both Chinese & Western available. Plus a drink in his bar was relaxing. They recommended a Chinese restaurant about 200m up the road and that was amazing & such a good price. The best Chinese we had eaten in our whole trip.

We booked 3 rooms for 7 pax. The host, XiaoMing gave as a free upgrade to a villa since it is their low period. Breakfast and coffee were simple but good (lots of fruits with choice of toast or Guilin noodle). The location is a nice little village beside the river. Very nice scenery. There are free electric bike at the resort to ride around the area and even to the cave near by.

Everything is just good, no complaints, we have a free shuttle service to the train station which was rather early I left at about 5 am to catch our next destination, the early train for my 11-hour journey to Lijiang and to our surprise at 5 am the car came and at the reception we had 2 bags of breakfast to brought to the train. For all this nice hospitality surely there is nothing I dislike.

To our surprise, the hotel was just across from our hotel the day earlier and it is at the same group management. The room is comfortable, but since we were at another hotel earlier this room was smaller compared with the spacious large room with a better view. We had warm air-conditioning which comforted us the moment we entered the room since it was winter and we were not prepared with warmer clothes. The location was just the same as Serene Vale Inn since they were in one courtyard together as a family business. It has a restaurant where we had our breakfast . It serves lunch and dinner also.

Comfortable large double (upgraded) room with plenty of space. A quiet location with marvelous views of surrounding Karst mountains. Excellent breakfast. Very professional management by Xiaoming, very helpful & attentive to our needs, arranging tours & the like. A great place to stay for visiting the mountains.

Quiet location set on a small island. Lovely staff who are eager to help. They had many tours available for us to choose from. Laid back atmosphere, very relaxing. The breakfast is top notch.

The room were comfortable however there were small items which needed fixing which he fixed it immediately when I told him. Fresh towels and clean service. The heater in the rooms weren’t strong enough during winter so it was quite cold during the night for my comfort.

The owner Xiaoming was Fantastic. Very helpful, clear and he will do anything to make your stay comfortable. The place has E-bikes for guests staying there and it was the highlight for my kids. They even had kids e-bike. You can ride the e-bike around the compound safely and there is a nice bike path for you to go on as well to nearby places like the flute cave. Laundry was included and very convenient. Breakfast was nice and you can always ask him to prepare something different. Top notch service and gave him a good tip for his marvellous service.

Staying at this hotel was an incredible experience. We stayed for 4 nights and would highly recommend it for all travelers, whether Chinese nationals or foreigners. The host was super welcoming and helpful, giving us advice and answering any questions we had. He was also easily accessible. The rooms themselves were also clean and it was easy to feel right at home. Overall highly recommend for all travelers!

Secret courtyard resort hotel was perfect for us to relax and rejuvenate away from bustling city life for a bit. The combination of its beautiful courtyard,comfortable room, excellent service, and convenient location make it ideal choice for anyone visiting Guilin.The staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful I’ve encountered during my travels. Xiao Ming went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, providing recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic experience in this stunning city.
