The staff are incredibly friendly, approachable, and accommodating. The variety of food and local options are substantial. Free electric vehicles available to zip around. Wonderful hiking options and a view to come back to. One thing I would recommend against is letting someone else do your personal laundry. My clothes came back damp and I don't think they used laundry detergent. Otherwise, this is a stop I plan to make again annually!

This was a pretty nice little hotel that is placed between the modern and the traditional. What I meant is that the room has a regular sit-on toilet, but the rest room in the main office has the squatting toilet. The room also does not have a mini refrigerator. I also felt that the bath doesn’t have adequate heating because it feels cold and the toilet seat was really cold. The room has a TV, but I couldn’t get it to turn on. The hotel is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel, but the manager smoked and at least one other man who helped me with the scooter also smoked. So, I often smelled cigarette smoking in different places and I felt I did a bit of second-hand smoking. I did not smell cigarettes smokes in my room though. The room was clean and I did feel comfortable sleeping in the bed with nice pillows and comforter.

You do get a free scooter to ride around and it has a battery for about 30 kilometers. The hotel seemed very safe and it gives an old small Chinese village feel where there are a bunch of other similar hotels and family-style restaurants. While I was walking by the neighborhood, a little girl less than 5 years old came by and spoke Chinese asked me to stay in the hotel that her parents operates and maybe owns. That was really cute that I had to go inside with her to talk with her parents. They are so down to earth and friendly. Again, this is somewhat of a village that falls in between the traditional and modern that you can get a feel of, a nice vibe.

The room was comfortable and spacious. What great views. The breakfast was perfect and we spent the day using the electric scooter which was super fun.

I completely recommend staying here and staying at least two days so you can appreciate the area. We regret not spending more time here. Definitely book here if you have the chance.

This hotel was wonderful. The staff prepped a snack pack for my adventures. They were friendly and super helpful. They made an amazing Chinese breakfast (or Western) every morning with coffee and an amazing fruit platter. The Guilin noodles were amazing. They provided transportation to and from the train station, which was nice. There was a beautiful view of sunset outside my window, a tea service, and fresh fruit and water provided always. There was no bathtub but I loved my stay. I would definately stay again. And the hotel is surrounded by a lovely shopping area and restaurants and street food. Plus a path, \"covered bridge\" and local attractions. I enjoyed it.

Excellent stay with helpful hosts

Lovely hotel in a cute village area. The staff are really helpful and friendly with a free laundry service that really helped! Breakfast was basic but lovely and the room was comfortable.
It is worth noting that the area here in Guilin is not the area that you see all the bamboo boats etc and famous photos - this is further south in Yangshuo and you can do day trips from the hotel if you don’t want to stay down there.

The location is not in Guilin city but a small village. The village is quite boring and can he walked in 10 minutes. This is probably the best hotel in the village. Was offered an upgrade as the hotel had just changed a new glass roof and not yet cleaned the glass so it was very dusty. The view is not great as there is a lot of “stuff” in front of the mountains. Shower is small and towels smell dusty.

Room and staff were excellent, let down by very noisy air conditioning units outside everywhere at night. Having arrived from rural Wudang mountains, it seemed a bit westernised for our taste but others may well prefer it. Town is a good hour walk but taxis are cheap.

AMAZING!!!

Had a great time. We arrived at the hotel at 2:30 am, and even though the office was closed for the evening, there was someone there waiting to give us our room key. They made sure to check in with us daily, and when we left, they called to notify us that my friend had left her ring there. They even shipped her ring to her home. Food was good. Our stay came with breakfast every morning. They took exceptional care of us during this trip.

This hotel truely surprised me, the attention to detail by the staff, the level of English spoken and the attentiveness was amazing. We had organised a day trip though hotel, we were later coming back than expected and the hotel called the driver to check on us and make sure everything was ok.

The room was beautiful, the breakfast buffet was comprehensive and the staff were very friendly. This place is rated 9.6 on trip advisor and I could not agree more. I can't wait to go back!

This was my holiday after an 8 week working trip. Found it easy to relax here.
The staff are friendly, with at least 2 able to speak English very well. A quiet bar-dinning room for a reasonably priced meal. The food was good, however like most Chinese food, it could be a little too oily.
Located about 3.5 km from central Guilin it may be a little far for walking. Cars organised by the hotel were well priced.

Beautiful and serene

We had such a lovely stay at the secret courtyard. We could not have been more pleased. The staff offer great hospitality, the food at the restaurant was delicious for breakfast and for dinners and our room exceeded our expectations. It was so beautiful and peaceful that we barely wanted to leave. While traveling for both business and pleasure this wa she perfect place to rest, enjoy the sounds of the birds, walk through the little village and enjoy the scenery. We would love to return! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A wonderful stay

A wonderful stay. We stay in the Premium Room with a spacious balcony. It takes around 15 mins by taxi to the city centre. There is also some restaurants and local shops nearby the hotel.
I would like to stay here again if I have a chance to visit Guilin again.

I loved my room. It was on the top floor (4th) and had a full length skylight over the bed.
Things I was not aware of:. Hotel said they would pick me up at the airport. They did and charged Y120 ( about $18). Because of the location outside of the city and not on a bus route, one needs to take a taxi into the city which costs about $4 one way.
The breakfast was nice and well supplied.

I booked a trip through the hotel for a cruise on the Li River. The cruise was wonderful but the tour agency was horrible. If you stay here do not book tours through the hotel. Paid for an English speaking guide; he spoke 90% Chinese and directions we're quite confusing. Once cruise was over guide gave poor directions on getting back to hotel and he disappeared.

I would not recommend this hotel unless you are looking for a quiet place to hang out and not explore Guilin.

Lovely stay

This hotel is great if you are looking for a relaxing stay escaping the city Guilin. The hotel is located in the small Lu Jia village with lovely restaurants, stalls and cafes. The service of the hotel is perfect. They were very accomodating prior and during our stay. The only thing is that our room was quite cozy/small and not every taxi driver in Guilin knows the location of the Lu Jia village

Hidden Gem in Guilin.

We had a great stay at the Hidden Courtyard. Comfy bed, good air conditioner, and fantastic staff. Restaurant on site was very good, and plenty of other places to eat within a minutes walk. Beautiful view from the bridge. We also booked a tour through the hotel when aviator cancelled our tour last minute. Everything was great.

Enchanting and Quaint Village Hotel in Guilin

We were enchanted with this small, quaint hotel in LuJin village near Guilin. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room on the fourth and top floor had a large skylight, which was fun; the mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable; and I enjoyed drinking tea and reading a book on the large, enclosed window ledge. One of the best pizza crusts we've ever tasted was in their restaurant. We recommend this hotel.

Very pleasant stay

The Secret Courtyard Resort is a nice boutique hotel in a small village like cluster of small hotels and restaurants, The room was clean and comfortable. Sunken tub was wonderful and shower superb. Only negative was the too firm mattress. Plushy mattress topper would have made it much better. East fix too. but it was too firm \"as is' ... Making up for that was an extremely friendly and helpful staff. They showed me the art of tea... a prep and taste sampling ceremony. They also really went out of their way to help with tours and even when I'd switched hotels to Youngshou (part of a pre planned itinerary) they arranged transportation and had me met on the other end. Definitely qualified as above and beyond service!

Yes, I would return!

After a 9 week trip mostly Europe, we have the opportunity to compare venues. On the + side, I believe that you will not find a more dedicated and friendly service anywhere... lovely girls helped to make our stay enjoyable. Maybe a couple of minor problems... room hot so we exchanged for another. Meals... duck and the beer sauce fish excellent but as dining room tiny, better check recommendations when ordering. Hotel is tucked away in a group of others... like a little village with beautiful gardens, bridge entry etc. On the edge of Guilin so a little remote but an easy taxi ride to centre (17CNY)
Would I return? Yes and mostly for the friendly staff... and the goldfish in the dining room!
Just a tip... wine lovers should bring own bottle... a common problem in most Chinese hotels but they are improving!

A terrific base location in Guilin

The Secret Courtyard is a 10-15 taxi ride from downtown Guilin. Since we were in the area for the Lonji Rice Terrace and a river cruise to Yanshuo, we were happy to stay away from the touristy hustle and bustle of downtown Guilin. The hotel is 3 years old, and the staff were outstanding. We had an enjoyable local Chinese meal in the hotel one night, which included the local specialty beer fish.

Best hotel by far

This hotel is so great. On the outskirts of Guilin, it was such a relief to arrive here after travelling in Hong Kong and Guangzhou with three children. The staff were excellent. Most had some English which was also great and they helped us book a driver for the day so we could see Guilin at our own pace. They also contacted us prior to arrival to organise a lift from the train station. We had dinner here too on one night and it was also excellent. Buffet breakfast is simple but everything you need. Stay here if you are in Guilin and do yourself a favour.

Our stay in Guilin was simply amazing! Quaint, quiet, clean, just outside of a city of 5M people. We felt like we were in a tiny village. Danny, Kerry and the entire staff took excellent care of us! I'm going back, and I wouldn't stay anyplace else in Guilin.

Beautiful hotel

Lovely, small hotel in one of the best areas of Guilin to stay in, Lujiacun; this area is full of amazing, local restaurants & souvenir shops/stalls. Staff are amazing, you get a welcome drink (hadn’t had that anywhere, even one of the top 5* in Guilin!) and when checking out for this amazing little stitched pouch as a leavin present! Room was beautiful with stunning views across the mountains. It’s not far from the main centre of Guilin but we ate both nights in Lujiacun as much cuteness! Would definitely stay here again & happily recommend to anyone!

Quaint but far from city center

The Secret Courtyard was a beautiful hotel tucked into a small village several miles from Guilin. If you are taking the train in - as we were - I would suggest calling to set up a pick up so you don't have to try to explain the location to a taxi driver. They were very accommodating and picked us up for a reasonable fee. The room was quite spacious and clean. It had a small balcony and a view of the mountains. It is great for a romantic getaway or really any type of stay. The free breakfast was pretty good and the staff spoke English (big plus) and were helpful in calling taxis and arranging tours. However, the major drawback of this hotel was the location. It was far from the city center and we had to take a taxi every time we wanted to go somewhere. The quiet location was nice but for convenience I would suggest staying elsewhere. Otherwise a lovely hotel!

Lovely hotel a taxi ride to centre

Lovely hotel with character, nice rooms, decent breakfast and good staff. The location is a bit remote and the “holiday village” a bit overstated. Hard to get a decent meal there. If you are prepared to get taxis to town centre (which are cheap and easy to call from hotel) then this hotel is very good and thoroughly recommended.

中国語も英語も話せない日本人女性1名で2泊利用しました。結論から言うと、安全で清潔でアットホームな雰囲気の良いホテルでした。

空港へ送迎も利用できると記載がありましたが、実際には150元と高い金額がかかるので自分でタクシーを呼んだ方が良いです。近くに駅はなさそうでした。

スタッフの方々が優しく気さくでした。英語か中国語でしか会話できませんが、翻訳アプリとジェスチャーで十分コミュニケーションがとれます。チェックイン前に困ったことがあっても、ホテルの電話番号宛に日本語でSMSのやり取りができました。私以外は全員欧米のお客さんでした。

部屋は清潔にされていましたが、蚊と蛾が数匹入って来ます。何も伝えないと自動的に外出中にタオルの交換されます。アメニティーは揃っていましたが私は使っていないので使い心地はわかりません。部屋着としてバスローブが置いてありますが、着心地は微妙なので自分で用意することをお勧めします。

部屋に冷蔵庫がないので注意してください。ペットボトルの水はあります。シャワーはシャワーヘッドを固定する部分が壊れて使えなかったこと以外は問題なかったです。

繁華街から少し離れたこのホテルに決めた理由が\"部屋からの景色が良さそうだから\"だったのですが、悪くはないものの目の前が駐車場で少し残念でした。ツインで予約しましたが、チェックインの時に無料でダブルの部屋にアップグレードしてくれました。景色が良い方にして欲しいと伝えるとダブルの部屋になりました。

通常朝ごはんは7:30からで、米粉かパンか選べます。ツアーの出発時間の都合でお願いしたら時間を早めることも、テイクアウトにも対応してくれました(この場合パンになります)。朝ごはんを食べる場所にはバーカウンターがあり、夜に食事やお酒を楽しむこともできます。

周辺は街灯が少なく歩いて回る場所はありません。壁が薄いのか廊下の話し声は聞こえますが、ホテル周辺が何もなく静かなことと、利用客が多くなかったことからあまり気にならず過ごせました。また機会があったら利用したいです。

Remanso de bienestar en pleno Guilin

Fue una experiencia excelente. Mi reserva incluía un masaje y fue buenísimo. El dueño (Ciao Ming) estuvo todo el rato pendiente de todo detalle y ayudándome con lo que necesitaba. Incluso llamó a mi compañía aérea cuando me cambiaron el vuelo. El hotel está en un complejo super tranquilo, cerca del centro de Guilin pero en plena calma. El desayuno está incluso y hay opción occidental o china. El servicio de lavandería es gratuito (te hacen la colada ellos). Te dejan motoa eléctricas de forma gratuita. En resumen, muy recomendable.

Nice, quiet option for groups of family or friends

Very enjoyable stay in a quiet village about 5km from downtown Guilin situated close to the famous Reed Flute Cave and an easy 10-min taxi ride into town. The villa had four bedrooms all with ensuites so perfect for larger groups of family or friends. A couple of good restaurants in the village offering excellent food. Our host Ming was very considerate and responsive, while our guide Qing handled all the tour arrangements very well and with a minimum of fuss, including free pickup at and dropoff to the High Speed Rail Station at Guilin Xi. They were excellent actually.
