Jinzhu Hostel

LOCATION: Trip.com showed this stay as very close to the cable-car (Jinkeng terrace). That was the main reason for us to choose this place. But, on arrival, we found that this accommodation is about ~19 km far from the cable car station. So, it was an accidental choice for us. Nevertheless, this gave us an opportunity to enjoy this stay – free from hustle-bustle, no regrets. We realized the serenity of this place after visiting Dazhai! 😊 TRAVEL: Foreigners with family and kids. We traveled to the Longji Terraces from Yangshuo by 13:30 bus. It took us about 4 hours. Although we booked the ticket to Dazhai (last stop), we got off the bus at the Jinzhu intersection. The driver knows the hotel and its staff. I did reach out to Ms. Liao Yanzhen (aka Jane) through WeChat (same number as in Trip.com) before starting the journey. She informed the bus driver about us & it helped us a lot. ACCOMMODATION: It is located uphill from the Jinzhu intersection – about 15-minute walk. Since we had luggage, Ms. Jane arranged for a car to carry all our luggage to/from the stay. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Depending on the room type, a balcony view helps. I had the valley view, which was very nice early in the morning. The room is built on a treehouse concept with modern bath and restroom facilities. It had a kettle, WiFi, etc., all that comes with a standard reservation. FOOD: Received the menu available and the price per item through WeChat. The common dining area is spacious. Food portions were large and tasty! For the hotel location, the cost is reasonable. STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to make your stay comfortable. We managed all our interactions through the translator app. They surprised the kids with popcorn! During our stay, we played cards after dinner for a few hours in the common area, and the staff were kind enough to help us with table and chairs. Also, on the last day, they showed us their traditional way of preparing food and the ingredients. ONLY SUGGESTION to the hotel: please address the door noise. It is too loud and annoying for occupants as well as neighbors.

The hotel's hospitality was exceptional. We ate delicious dinner and breakfast cooked by them. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They held a programme for children where they taught them how to make rice cakes. The hotel is situated in a calm and pleasant environment. The amenities provided in the rooms were excellent.

盲選的民宿，真的很不錯，環境特別好，很有格調，客服管家和老闆都很熱心，民宿配備的用品比四星級酒店都好，尤其洗髮水還分男士女士，超級好用，餐廳的阿姐做家常菜很好吃，早餐也很棒，衹顧吃了沒拍全，話不多説看圖。

很有特色的一家民宿，在保留村寨原始風貌的同時又乾淨舒適，唄季家吊腳樓自帶觀景台可以欣賞整個壯寨美景，民宿管家肖姐和阿彩姐為人熱情，特別好客，肖姐做的一手好飯菜，連吃了兩天，每道菜都好吃，釀的米酒，甘甜清香，菜都是自己園子裏種的，綠色環保，民宿裏活動很多，有早上的打餈粑，下午的撈魚，非常難忘的住宿體驗，有機會再來龍脊，還會再來這個民宿～

金竹壯寨村民熱情有愛，生活愜意漫漫，龍脊梯田遼闊燦燦，豐收的秋日豐富美好。喜歡這裏的安寧温馨的味道，再見有期。🌿🌾⛅️

非常喜歡，孩子們也喜歡，不喧鬧，風景屬於那種村寨和大山的結合，有味道，適合喜歡安靜和有點接地氣的旅遊，整體安靜而有人情味。民宿接待人員都是本地村民，很熱情，囑咐我們去看梯田時告訴我們路線怎麼安排，很貼心！而且有需求都會盡量滿足。還為我們的體驗特意調整了打餈粑的時間，感激！
