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.

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

The photos and the description given on booking.com are totally wrong, we thought that it is a luxury resort but it was a individual villa converted into a small guest house, the photos on booking.com are deceptive, the view is of a parking lot and you can see some mountains which are far. It should not have any stars as it's not into a hotel category.

We liked the attitude of the housekeeper Mr.Qin, he was very nice and helpful, that's the only thing we liked about the property.

Nothing!

Excellent host!!! Goes beyond expectations and aims to please travelers. Hands out free fruits and drinks when sitting down and very assistive when asking questions. Free e-bikes!! which is ideal for visiting the city. Excellent restaurant at the entrance gate!

The building, as well as room, require immediate renovation. In fact, it is not a hotel but some kind a guesthouse surrounded by similar buildings. Photos added to the portal were not completely accurate. And finally, the breakfast was just rather a snack that a mean - fruits, tosts and an egg.

The owner was quite helpful, although his info was not accurate or precise.

The place is a little far from the center. The staff gave me an electric scooter which was great as a concept but one that had only 20 min of battery which means I got stuck in the middle of nowhere and had to be towed.

In a calm small area out of town, the staff really tried to be helpful and nice, room was nice. They helped to organise the tours and taxis for me making the trip very easy and friendly

The location is not nice, not a nice neighborhood. It’s not a clean place and it’s very noisy.

It’s not a resort. It is similar to a hostel. Good fresh breakfast. The owner very kind but don’t speak English.The owner gave us a gift in our check out
