We love the location of the property which is right next to the river. We love that property has bicycles for their guests and that there is a paved land right by the river and away from the main road that you can use to explore other grounds and villages. The in house restaurant serves pretty good food too. The staff were helpful. Totally will come back!

“The view… beautifully beautiful 😁”
The view was actually really good especially with all the mountains, rivers and delightful scenery. In other reviews you might have read, they talk a lot about how it’s not clean etc but there seems to have been a new renovation that made the hotel way more clean. It’s no luxury in case that’s what you’re looking for, but we personally loved the vibe and aesthetic the hotel provided.

“Amazing stay with great service”
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The girls at the reception were superb - genuinely kind which made the experience feel special. Homemade breakfast and lunch were absolutely delicious. The location is excellent, offering breathtaking views. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to returning in the future. The only area I would suggest for improvement is replacing the bathroom sink - room 211.

“Peaceful, private. Stunning views.”
There are tables by the river where you can have your meals. It's so quiet and peaceful, you barely notice the other guests because there's so much space between the tables. We walked through the nearby rice paddies, enjoyed the mountains, the rafts floating along the river. You can also hire scooters for the day - so cheap! Food caters to both Chinese and Western tastes. I loved the French toast. They also have a restaurant inside the hotel itself. Staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms remind you of an old style chalet and the ones on the ground floor open out to the riverbank. You can sit outside your room and have a drink. So peaceful and private. In the chaos of a tourist town, it's just what you need.

“A truly unforgettable stay with breathtaking views, exceptional hospitality, and a team that makes you feel like family”
Everything about this place was exceptional. The location is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by stunning karst mountains and peaceful nature that instantly makes you feel calm and grounded. The views are magical at any time of the day, especially in the morning and at sunset. What truly makes this property special, however, is the staff. Every single person was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, always ready to help with a smile. A very special thank you to Ana, whose warmth, professionalism, and kindness made us feel truly welcomed and cared for from the first moment, and to Jingxing, who was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and always attentive to our needs. Their hospitality made my stay unforgettable.
