Longsheng Hotels with Bars

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. 

This should be the best homestay with the view and view of the whole terrace. The angle is very positive. The whole terrace has a panoramic view. The boss also upgraded the room. The rice noodles for breakfast are delicious, the restaurant dinner is also delicious, and there are freshly killed chickens. The boss is super good. We asked how to go to the observation deck on the 1st and 2nd the next day. The boss offered to send us there. (The car can't drive in the road behind the observation deck on the 1st. You have to go up to the slope.) When you go down the mountain, you can't walk to the highway. Three elderly people can't walk and trouble the boss to go down. Pick up. Check out and send rice wine, if you have the opportunity to see the terraces, you will choose this one

What you see is what you get! The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. They contacted us two days in advance by phone, added us on WeChat, and sent our location, while also providing real-time updates on road conditions and weather. They even reminded us to bring our own cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks because it's inconvenient to buy them on the mountain. The guesthouse was easy to find; just follow the navigation along the mountain road. As I often travel with my pets, this was arguably the most pet-friendly guesthouse I've ever stayed at (and also the most human-friendly one). It was also very clean, tidy, stylish, and unpretentious. There was a mysterious big cat named Dali at the guesthouse, which was very cute, but it was so mysterious that I only saw it twice during my two-night stay. Cell phone signal might be a little weak at the mountaintop, but I tested the Wi-Fi, which covered the entire area of ​​the guesthouse. Food options were relatively limited (because we were really deep in the mountains), but the breakfast provided by the guesthouse was plentiful and nutritionally balanced. At other times, you could order food from the nearby farmhouses, which were reasonably priced. After checking in, I couldn't help but exclaim how beautiful it was, with its misty clouds making it feel like a fairyland. I heard it's even more beautiful during the rainy season; I can't imagine how beautiful it will be then. I even considered quitting my job to work at this place. Those seeking tranquility and comfort away from the hustle and bustle can go for it without hesitation; it's suitable for couples, families, and solo travelers alike. Unfortunately, the immersive experience is so intense that I only realized I didn't take enough photos while writing this review.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful with everything from guiding us on how to get there to assisting with booking our bus tickets. They were always friendly and very supportive. The food was also excellent. We tried several local dishes and everything we had was truly delicious. Our room had a beautiful view, and everything was thoughtfully arranged and very comfortable. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Longji Rice Terraces. Thank you to the team for making our stay so smooth and enjoyable.

The hotel owner was very kind and welcoming, and the auntie was very friendly and hospitable. The fried noodles she made were delicious; I ate them twice during my one-night stay. The mountain view was beautiful, but unfortunately it was cloudy and I didn't see the sunrise. I'd love to go again sometime.

Great location and view. Recommend to get balcony with view. Rooms are clean and new. Staff are great and always try to help. One night we got lost so the young lady called “Flower” walked a long way to escort us back to the hotel. Then we found out she wasn’t working at that time but just wanted to help. Amazing service.

Absolutely incredible experience! The room features massive floor-to-ceiling windows with unobstructed views, allowing you to gaze at the terraced fields right from your bed. It also comes with a bathtub and a smart toilet, and all the facilities are brand new. Upon check-in, we were treated to ancient tree black tea and Longji rice wine. There's also a convenient shuttle service from Dazhai parking lot. The owner is incredibly thoughtful and the service is very warm. They even have a restaurant on-site serving authentic local dishes. Highly recommended!

The experience exceeded expectations, the boss upgraded the duplex, the children especially like it, and always said that it was the best room I have ever stayed in. The room was very clean, especially the sanitary ware was the same as the brand new, there was no water stains and scale, and almost no sanitary corners were seen. The homestay itself is also very beautiful, very close to the Golden Buddhading Observation Deck, you can easily see the sunrise. The terraces in October are so beautiful, this experience is really great!

I'd like to share my experience staying at this lodge during my trip to the terraced fields. The lodge is situated right within the scenic area, and its substantial size in these mountains far exceeded my expectations. It features traditional stilt house architecture, showcasing a distinctive ethnic charm. All guest rooms are equipped with spacious balconies, offering guests breathtaking, immersive views of the terraced fields. Standing on the balcony, a gentle morning breeze brushes past as the green waves of the terraced fields shimmer under the sun, truly like stepping into a picturesque landscape. Notably, the hotel is also equipped with an elevator, providing immense convenience for guests. This makes navigating with luggage or assisting elderly guests and children significantly easier. Overall, with its spacious balcony views, stringent hygiene standards, and convenient elevator service, this hotel ensures a comfortable and delightful stay. It's a highly recommended choice for both business travelers and leisure seekers. The owner even led us to the fields to catch fish, which was a truly memorable experience!

The boss is so kind! Enthusiasm and kindness! , Because I took my wheelchair with my dad, I went to Longji facing the ramp and immediately went in a circle. After contacting the boss, he helped with luggage and the wheelchair. I am very grateful to the boss, Brother Liao, for his help. Another objective compliment is that Liqing’s location is better. The room has an invincible terraced field view, which allows people to get a glimpse of the terraced fields from the moment they enter the room, watching the clouds and mist, and the relative price is really super cost-effective! share! Thanks!
