Liping Hotels with Free Breakfast

The housekeeper proactively called us before check-in to add us on WeChat, and they responded to messages instantly. They were warm and polite. The pickup vehicle and driver were also waiting on time, providing excellent service. The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom glass door was sparkling, and the view from the window was lovely. The toiletries in the room were comprehensive, all from good brands, and they even provided a disposable bathtub liner, alcohol spray, laundry detergent, and moisturizing spray. The safety measures were also top-notch; it was my first time seeing a room equipped with not only full fire safety facilities but also an escape rope. The breakfast was well-balanced and delicious. Most importantly, the price was affordable, and it's pet-friendly with no extra cleaning fees! I truly hope this generous guesthouse expands and thrives, opening more locations in other places to give pet-owning road trippers like us more options. Please don't let those who try to take advantage and lack manners ruin your spirit. Just a small suggestion: put up two signs at the turn-off for the hotel, and add a few lights on the uphill path, as it's very dark walking back at night and easy to miss which turn it is!

This guesthouse is absolutely amazing! The windows are huge, offering a fantastic view of green terraced fields outside, and the air is incredibly fresh. The location of the guesthouse is superb, with a convenient shuttle service. It's right in the heart of the Dong village, just a few steps from the lively main street, where you'll find all sorts of unique shops and food stalls. It's super easy to pick up souvenirs or try local delicacies. Yet, despite being so central, the guesthouse itself is a peaceful oasis; it's wonderfully quiet at night, completely undisturbed by any outside noise. And the service? The staff are all incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. When we checked in, the front desk gave us a detailed guide to exploring the Dong village, recommending many lesser-known but beautiful photo spots and local eateries that only residents would know about. During our stay, they were always quick to respond to any requests, which was really thoughtful. The room itself was spotless, very cozy, with comfortable bedding and all the necessary amenities – a truly comfortable stay. All in all, whether it's the location or the service, this guesthouse is impeccable. It added so many wonderful memories to my trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!

We planned a slow-paced, three-day, two-night trip to Zhaoxing, and choosing Guge Secluded Retreat was absolutely the right decision! The guesthouse is located near the village entrance, making it convenient for coming and going without being noisy. It's just a few minutes' walk to the main scenic area. Every morning, we'd have breakfast at the outdoor bar, which offered a stunning view of the village for photos. In the evenings, we'd watch the night view from our room's balcony – it was so peaceful and therapeutic. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Over the two days, the elders rested well, and the kids had a great time too. A perfect family vacation, and I've already recommended it to friends!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming guesthouse. Mr. Lu, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming. He truly goes above and beyond for his guests. He even arranged a driver for us to visit nearby villages and personally accompanied us during the visits, which made the experience even more special and authentic. He also picked us up from the train station and dropped us off there, which was very much appreciated. His wife is also very warm and friendly, and together they create a lovely, home like atmosphere. The breakfasts were delicious, and the location of the hotel is excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The only small downside was that we happened to visit during a period of construction, so our room had a view of the works. However, this was just bad timing and did not take away from our overall experience. As a memorable highlight, Lu played and sang a traditional Dong song for us, which was absolutely magical and something we will never forget. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a genuine and heartfelt stay.

Traveling to Zhaoxing Dong Village during the off-season, I stumbled upon Zhaoxing No. 1 Boutique Homestay, and it was truly a delightful surprise! The overall quality and attentive service are absolutely on par with five-star standards – an amazing experience. Especially their breakfast rice noodles, they were so authentic and flavorful, I was hooked after one bite, absolutely delicious. My stay was comfortable and peaceful, I genuinely and highly recommend it. Next time I visit the Dong Village, this will definitely be my first choice again!

Me and my girlfriend got picked up at Congjiang train station which was very convenient. Right from the start the owners of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The accomodation is located at the back of the village next to a field where they grow rapeseed flowers and rice during the year. For us the location was perfect as it is very peaceful and quiet but simultaneously litterally a few steps away from the beautiful vibrant little village. The room was very spacious and clean with a gorgeous view on the field. The interior is very well matched and has great facilities. There was even a small laundry machine so we could do some laundry ourselves. So far during our travels in China, this stay was the best we had! There is a very stylish and cute coffee/restaurant located on the first floor of the building. This is also where you will have a delicious breakfast and where Ni Li and her sister will greet you with a smile every time you walk by. Ni Li, her husband Tao Mingqing, her sister and brother played a crucial part during our stay as after the first night my wife got very sick due to an infection and barely left the room during our stay. The second night I got foodpoisoning which made the situation even worse. (Not from the hotel!). We ended up extending our stay due to her condition. Luckily Li's English is very good so that helped us a lot in navigating the medical difficulties. We were extremely lucky to be staying with Li and her family as they took care of us like we were their own family. Preparing custom meals and dinner tailored to our needs every single day, preparing us tea, calling the local doctors and translating and taking us to the local hospital back and forth multiple times. We were there during the Qingming festival so no cars were allowed in the village which made it more difficult to reach the hospital. This didn't stop Tao Mingqing as he took us to the local hospital several times on the motorbike, one by one! The last time I even forgot a bag and he even went back to get it for me! He truly is a legend. Fortunately, my recovery was fairly quickly so I had the chance to explore the village a little by myself and spend time with Li and Ming while staying close to the room for my girlfriend. On day 4 my girlfriend's fever was coming down and she improved a little. Li and Ming invited us to have tea with them. Ming showed me his vast collection of tea and made sure to prepare the best tea suitable for our condition. The tea was truly amazing and he ended up filling a big bag with different kinds of teas as a gift for us! And that was not it, to make sure we would never forget them and drink tea mindfully the Chinese way when we're back home, they gave us the tea cups we used traditionally decorated with the blue dragon and phoenix. It was a very stressful situation and when we felt at our most fragile, they were there to take care of us, strangers they just met. This says everything about these wonderful people. Even though the illness of my girlfriend and the rough situation, we think back to our stay with a very warm hearth as our special experience forged a bond we'll never forget. We are incredibly lucky to have met Li and her family. We have said thank you to them 100s of times already, but I can't express enough how grateful I am for this people. Thank you for taking care of us like your family!!! ＜3 If you are unsure about staying here, there is truly no reason why you shouldn't! Whatever the situation, Li and her family will do everything they can to improve your stay. I'm sure you'll have a blast!

The address of the B&B is in Zhongzhai, just a minute’s walk past the Internet celebrity tower P1! There are a lot of food and drinks at the door. Since it is a little far away from the main street, it is very quiet. It is quiet in the bustle. You can have a good sleep at night. The room is also very big. The boss is a super nice sister. I came to stay alone and just in time. I went to her house for steamed sweet potatoes, and for free I got the taro and sweet potatoes from the shop owner’s sister’s house 🍠 When I came back from watching the iron flower in the evening, I happened to meet the shop owner’s sister after finishing her meal, and invited me to eat with her. I tried the local specialty beef soup, hot and sour, delicious! Her dog pudding is so good! Super cute like a doll 🧸The drone fried chicken at night. My sister also helped contact the police and picked up the drone for me. The store is so easy to mess with. I will stay here again next time I come! !

The B&B environment was absolutely fantastic, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The layout was cozy and comfortable. The owner was super nice, making our check-in experience perfect. The location is excellent, making it easy to get around. Overall, we were very satisfied and it's definitely worth another visit. Highly recommended!

The B&B is clean, tidy, and exceptionally quiet. The room is comfortable and peaceful, with no noise at all. The natural wood interior feels warm and cozy, and the lush greenery creates a serene and elegant atmosphere. It's perfect for sitting back with a cup of tea, escaping the hustle and bustle. The B&B even has a tea area, which is great for chatting and relaxing. It's an ideal spot for a vacation or simply to unwind and relax for a short stay.

A few days before my arrival, I requested contact by wechat through Trip.com which was more convenient and the inn responded quite quickly which was reassuring and I arranged pick-up from the train station. They came back with a printed image of my name on paper and asked to look out for it upon my arrival. Pick-up was pretty smooth and got to the scenic site 15 minutes later. The driver led me to the scenic area's main entrance to buy a ticket to enter. I had to physically walk in through the public entrance for my ticket to be scanned and the driver drove in separately and we met inside the village. I hopped in the car and we drove up to where the ancient village was in a valley. A young man waited by the entrance of the village, took my luggage and I followed him down the path of cobble stones into the village. The inn was very close to the village entrance through a narrow alleyway and then up some stone steps. The inn was opened in 2021, so everything looked new and well kept. I checked in and was shown to my room immediately well ahead of the check-in time of 14:00 which I was so grateful for. The room and bathroom were adequate. Breakfast could be improved. However, the inn provides afternoon tea between 14:00 and 16:00 which is eaten on the terrace on the top floor with magnificent views of the village below. The staff at the inn are so lovely and helpful. They even recommended places to eat and also a local guide. I tried both and wasn't disappointed. The inn also arranged drop-off at the station. Both pick-up and drop-off at the station were free of charge which was an added bonus. I stayed here for one night and was quite happy. It was a perfect start to my high-speed rail odyssey across the southern part of China. I highly recommend this inn due to the location of it inside the ancient village, the views from the terrace and the very helpful staff.
