5-Star Hotels in Guizhou, China

"Bijin Sky Homestay is an excellent choice for a stay in the Dong villages. The service and reception here are outstanding. They offer all-inclusive round-trip transfers and proactively assist with itinerary planning. Upon arrival, they provide a detailed guide for exploring all the scenic spots like the terraced fields, drum towers, and wind-and-rain bridges, making your trip completely stress-free. The wooden homestay features floor-to-ceiling windows with direct views of the entire Dong village's stilted houses and mountain scenery. The rooms are quiet and comfortable, and the Yao medicinal bath is incredibly relaxing. Every evening, the homestay arranges authentic Dong Grand Song performances, offering an immersive cultural experience. The local buffet breakfast is delicious and authentic, and upon departure, they even give you a special souvenir. The service is meticulous and thoughtful. Opening the window reveals a picturesque Dong village landscape. It's definitely worth revisiting."

"This hotel is great! The environment is lovely, it's comfortable and quiet, and offers excellent value for money. The front desk staff, particularly Xiao Jiang, was so kind to give our child a free breakfast voucher. We'll definitely choose to stay here again next time we're in Tongren."

"Kempinski lives up to all the expectations of a five-star hotel, not necessarily in terms of luxury, but because there's simply nothing wrong with it. Everything works, which isn't always easy to achieve. However, these expectations are based on my younger days traveling for business around the turn of the century. For instance, the lack of a coffee machine, with only instant coffee available, feels a bit too 'classic' now. The power outlets aren't very convenient for larger chargers, as there isn't enough space around them. In one of our rooms, the shower was right next to the bathtub without a separate enclosure. Also, the elevators were quite slow. The location and orientation are excellent. One room had a floor-to-ceiling window directly overlooking Jiaxiu Tower on the Nanming River, with a view of Guanfeng Pavilion too. A shopping mall is right next to the hotel, and Wenchang Pavilion and Minsheng Road Food Street are just a ten-minute walk away. Breakfast hours are extended, and the food selection is abundant; there were even five types of porridge alone. The management is very well-organized."

"What impressed me most about my stay at the Sofitel wasn't the bedding or the breakfast, but the view outside the window. I checked into a high-floor city view room, and when I pulled back the electric curtains, I was genuinely stunned—the entire city stretched out below me. During the day, the buildings and river were clearly defined, and as dusk fell, the lights gradually twinkled on. Jiaxiu Tower was right before my eyes. Sitting by the window, staring blankly for half an hour didn't feel like a waste at all. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the 55th-floor Sky Lobby offered an even more spectacular view; I took over a dozen photos while checking in. The French decor already has a sophisticated feel, and paired with this skyline night view, it truly felt like 'money well spent for a good mood.' I'd be willing to come back just for this view."

"I absolutely have to write a lengthy review to express my gratitude to the staff at the Guizhou Hotel VIP Building, especially Lobby Manager Mei'ao and front desk agent Xiao Shi. They made my trip to Guiyang warm and full of pleasant surprises from the very moment I stepped into the hotel. First, let me talk about Manager Mei'ao, who impressed me the most. That day, I accidentally navigated to the 'Yingbin Building' and was feeling a bit lost. Mei'ao proactively approached me. Upon learning I was checking into the VIP Building, she didn't just point the way. Instead, she smiled and said, 'I'll take you there.' She then accompanied me the entire way, explaining the layout of the two buildings and the hotel's features as we walked. Once we reached the VIP Building lobby, she assisted me with the check-in process, which was incredibly efficient. What's even more thoughtful is that after completing the formalities, she didn't stop there. She personally arranged for a staff member to escort me to my room and carefully informed me about the luggage delivery time. This seamless service, 'from Yingbin Building to VIP Building,' instantly made me feel the professionalism and warmth of a five-star hotel. After I entered my room, Mei'ao even called to inquire if everything was satisfactory and enthusiastically recommended local dining and sightseeing tips – from authentic sour soup beef restaurants nearby to jogging routes in Qianling Park and even the best angles for night photos at Jiaxiu Tower. She shared all this information like a local friend pouring out their heart. This level of dedication, going beyond her job description, was truly touching. At the same time, I must sincerely commend front desk agent Xiao Shi. She always wore a sweet smile during check-in, patiently verified my information, and proactively informed me about breakfast times, gym location, and other important details. Even with a queue of guests behind me, she remained calm and organized, making everyone feel comfortable. Later, when I asked her for bus routes while heading out, she clearly marked Bus No. 1 for me, showing great attention to detail. And then there's the hotel itself – the hardware of the VIP Building is impeccable. The rooms are spacious and bright with excellent views, and the price offers great value for money. But what truly moved me were these warm service details. From the encounter at the Yingbin Building to settling in at the VIP Building, Mei'ao and Xiao Shi, with their sincerity and professionalism, perfectly demonstrated what 'a home away from home' truly means. Next time I visit Guiyang, I will definitely choose the Guizhou Hotel VIP Building again. Thank you, Mei'ao and Xiao Shi; you are the hotel's brightest stars!"

"This hotel is truly excellent! You can enjoy affordable Maotai here, and they even offer complimentary ice cream. What's more, it's incredibly thoughtful – for a family of three, we only had two breakfast vouchers, and when we offered to pay for the third, the staff at the entrance just waved us in! Definitely worth staying here! It's clean, hygienic, and the service is warm and welcoming! The only feedback I have is that the Maotai specialty store in the lobby on the first floor has too limited a selection. People travel so far to get here, so it would be great if they could offer a wider variety. Expand the range and let everyone happily buy the Maotai they love, wouldn't that be better?"

"This hotel perfectly embodies everything I imagine a 'wild luxury' hotel to be. 1. **Wild enough**: It features waterfalls, cliffs, caves, hiking trails, bamboo forests, streams, rivers, stunning sunsets, and the blue hour all in one place. The waterfall flows 365 days a year, with no dry season, and its white noise is easily ignorable, making for a quiet and pleasant stay. 2. **Luxurious enough**: The design is simple, elegant, and subtly zen. It boasts huge floor-to-ceiling windows, high-end amenities and products, impeccable cleanliness, attentive service, delicious food, and a rich breakfast that's served until 1 PM. 3. **Plenty to do**: It's the most conveniently located hotel in Chishui, with many attractions nearby. At the hotel, I tried bamboo weaving, tasted Pu'er tea, and enjoyed activities like flashing flowers and paper planes. 4. **Great views**: The scenery is picturesque without even leaving the hotel, perfect for photos. The hotel also offered complimentary drone photography and even made a video for me, which I really appreciate. 5. **Excellent quality**: Great value for money, spacious rooms, and top-notch bedding and amenities. Rooms of different sizes and locations have their own pricing. The facilities are complete; it was my first time staying in a room with a fireplace, which was warm and great for photos in winter. There's also a soaking tub, and lighting candles creates a wonderfully romantic atmosphere – perfect for couples. 6. **Summary**: Good value, you get what you pay for, with options for every budget. What you see and experience perfectly matches the promotional pictures. It's comfortable, relaxing, and offers many activities. The facilities are comprehensive and well-equipped, even exceeding 5-star standards. There's almost no insect disturbance or noise, and the food is fresh and delicious, with a rich breakfast. Everything was just as I imagined. Highly recommended for couples and family vacations."

"When I first got out of the taxi, I almost couldn't find the hotel. The taxi driver dropped me off at the back, and that area of the hotel looked quite old and run-down, which was a bit scary arriving at night. With a lot of luggage, I couldn't even find anyone to help with greeting guests. It took me a long time to walk around and finally find the front desk. Luckily, the lady at the front desk was very nice, and I finally settled in. It's a new hotel, and the public facilities are well-decorated. However, the five-star rating is a bit misleading."

"I arrived at the hotel around 6 PM, and the air conditioning in my room was broken. After a lot of hassle, I finally got a new room around 10 PM, but the AC in that one had a terrible, musty and smoky smell. Picture one shows the restaurant, and for a supposed 128 RMB breakfast, it offered instant fried noodles and similar items – definitely not what you'd expect from a five-star hotel. The zoo next to the restaurant was a novel idea though, and one of the staff members there was very nice. However, I think the hotel should focus more on its core business. I wanted to go to the pool on the 5th floor, but you have to walk through a row of shops to get there, making me wonder if it's outsourced. It felt less like a hotel and more like an old-fashioned entertainment arcade. The lifeguard at the pool was even on their phone with headphones on… The management of this hotel really isn't five-star quality. Accor's standards are far too inconsistent."

"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!"
