5-Star Hotels in Guizhou, China

Staying at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village for these three nights felt like living among the clouds. I booked three different room types, and each one felt like a custom-made viewing frame. The layered beauty of the Miao village, from the misty mornings to the illuminated 'river of lights' at night, was perfectly framed before my eyes. The biggest surprise was the afternoon tea served daily from 2 PM to 8 PM. Those rose pastries, with their crispy crust enveloping a sweet floral fragrance, left a lingering aftertaste that I still recall fondly. But what truly touched me were the 'people' on this trip. The butler service was impeccable from the moment I arrived at the West Gate. On the way in, they meticulously escorted me and my luggage all the way to my room, and on departure, they handled everything smoothly, allowing me to travel light and simply enjoy the scenery. This kind of thoughtful care made the beauty of the Miao village more than just a landscape; it was a comforting warmth of being truly looked after. Three nights, three perspectives, and consistently thoughtful service. I will definitely be back.

Pros: The hotel was pretty good, with spacious rooms. Although it's a bit older, it's well-maintained overall. The pet-friendly restaurant on the 5th floor was unique, and the facilities on the 4th floor were well-equipped. All the staff were very polite, professional, and well-organized, even during the peak season. A special shout-out to Victor for his professional and friendly service – and of course, all the other staff were great too! Cons: The lobby on the first floor was quite chaotic. I heard there are many entertainment venues, and with so many customers, it felt more like a noisy shopping mall. I suggest the hotel guests and entertainment venue patrons be separated, perhaps by not sharing the same elevators. As a hotel guest, I really hoped for a quiet and comfortable space.

Very nice hotel and resort, located inside the scenic park area, making it very convenient for sightseeing and enjoying the surroundings. Highlights: * Good location inside the park * Clean and comfortable rooms * Decent breakfast * Very kind and helpful staff * Excellent reception team * Pleasant resort environment Important Tip for Travelers: If you are arriving from Libo Airport or Libo Railway Station, inform the reception in advance about your arrival time. The hotel can arrange transportation from the park entrance to the hotel. Regular taxi services or Didi usually drop guests at the main park entrance, and reaching the hotel from there can be difficult . First-time visitors may find the hotel location confusing. Arranging pickup with the hotel beforehand will make your arrival much smoother. Overall, a very good resort with friendly staff, clean rooms, and a convenient location inside the park. The only challenge is transportation from the entrance, which can be easily resolved by contacting the hotel before arrival.

The hotel is 2-3 kilometers away from the high-speed railway station, and the transportation is convenient. The road to the hotel is under construction. The hotel looks luxurious. There are many people in the lobby, which may be a large group. The front desk service is very friendly, the room is large and clean. I booked a room without breakfast, and the front desk also upgraded my room for free and gave me breakfast. The breakfast has rich varieties and the children like it very much.

The environment is great, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. Staying on the ground floor is even better because you can park your car right outside, which makes it easy to unload luggage. The high humidity in summer was actually good for my skin! The only downside was that clothes don't dry outside, so I had to hang them indoors. The hotel breakfast was a bit simple, but everything else was fine. The hotel is just across the bridge from the scenic area entrance, and you can even play in the water under the bridge.

I personally think the exterior is very impressive; it's rare to see a hotel with this kind of design and size nowadays. The entire ancient town is beautifully crafted and has a great style. The hotel service is also very good. For a county town, everything here is excellent. Breakfast is good too, with a mix of Western and Chinese options, and even bagels. The coffee is decent. Sister Zhu's Stir-fry at the entrance of the ancient town is also delicious 😋. It's very close to Zhijindong Cave, so staying here is perfect for visiting the area.

My friends and I chose this hotel for a concert, and it was a fantastic experience! The front desk staff were warm and attentive. Check-in was quick and efficient, and they thoughtfully recommended suitable restaurants and attractions nearby. Our room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. What truly impressed us was the hotel's service team's attention to detail, like helping us with our luggage and showing us to our room while explaining the facilities. This feeling of being valued made our whole trip so much warmer. The hotel has excellent amenities; our room was spacious and bright, equipped with air conditioning, a TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi, meeting all our needs as friends traveling together. The gym and swimming pool also offered more options for relaxation during our free time. Most importantly, it was just a few minutes' walk from the venue – incredibly convenient! The hotel's price was also very reasonable, offering exceptional value for money, completely exceeding our expectations. If my friends and I travel together again, we will definitely choose this hotel!

My stay here was absolutely wonderful! The hotel is super close to Huangguoshu Scenic Area, just a few minutes' drive away. It has a really peaceful vibe, and I loved sitting on the balcony at night, looking at all the stars with the mountains all around – so quiet and relaxing. Check-in was efficient, and the staff at the front desk were so warm and polite. My room was spotless, the bedding was comfy, and the soundproofing was excellent. Breakfast offered a great variety and tasted delicious. A huge thank you to the front desk for the room upgrade; after two nights here, I felt completely refreshed from my travels. The overall service was top-notch. They also have a lot of free activities; I tried batik making and fridge magnet crafting, which was fun. This is definitely my go-to choice when visiting Huangguoshu, and I'll be back for sure! I'll be recommending it to all my colleagues and friends!

This guesthouse boasts an excellent location right by the observation deck, with a bus stop conveniently nearby. The balcony view is absolutely stunning. Out of my entire trip to Xijiang, the warmest encounter I had was with Kele, the host of Qifengxin Guesthouse. They proactively communicated about my itinerary and was waiting right at the scenic area's ticket gate upon my arrival. Kele handled all my luggage, saving me from the exhaustion of carrying bags up stairs. Along the way, they patiently explained how to best explore the Miao village and answered all my travel questions without hesitation, offering practical and thoughtful tips. Kele was genuinely kind and meticulous in their service, even seeing me off to the scenic area entrance when I left. No matter how beautiful the scenery, it can't compare to attentive service. Thanks to Kele, this trip was exceptionally perfect. I highly recommend Qifengxin Guesthouse!

This internet-famous guesthouse truly lives up to its reputation, with a total of 24 rooms. The biggest drawback is the number of stairs and the lack of an elevator, but everything else is excellent! Location: It's situated next to the Balinghe Bridge in Guanling, about a 15-20 minute drive from the main Huangguoshu scenic area. Ambiance: It's a popular guesthouse located in a small, charming village. The air is filled with the scent of mugwort. The 4th-floor observation deck is perfect for watching both sunsets and sunrises. You'll hear roosters crowing in the morning. Facilities: Be prepared to climb stairs, as the highest floor is the 4th. There is a dedicated luggage elevator for your bags. The rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the air conditioning is powerful but a bit noisy (earplugs are provided by the hotel). There's a self-service laundry room with two washing machines and two dryers, along with laundry pods. Service: The butler-style service is prompt and friendly. I really appreciated the small farewell gift upon check-out. Cleanliness: Very good. Restaurant: They offer a buffet breakfast, à la carte lunch, and dinner requires advance ordering and reservation, with a notification when it's ready. The cocktails at the bar are excellent.
