“Great hotel”

This hotel is beautiful, and the staff is excellent. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking a rice terrace behind the hotel. It is not the main rice terrace as you need a hotel higher up to see those. We ate dinner at the hotel instead of checking out the other restaurants in the village. The food was fantastic! Beware the portions are HUGE as we ordered way too much food not knowing this. For breakfast, there is not a buffet however the staff brings out a large breakfast meal with plenty of options on the plate.

We had a truly exceptional stay at the Baike Hotel. It is perfectly located, just a four-minute walk from the main parking/drop-off area. Our room, with its stunning view of the rice fields, was a major highlight, and we were delighted to receive a thoughtful upgrade to the top floor. They provided an English menu, and the food was great; the bamboo chicken cooked with fire was particularly delicious and highly recommended. They suggested two fantastic hikes that turned out to be perfect, providing wonderful opportunities to take many beautiful photographs. They also organized our transfer to our next hotel, which went flawlessly. The level of service was incredible: on our rainy departure day, they personally escorted our luggage on a covered scooter, ensuring it arrived completely dry at the parking lot where our driver was waiting. We definitely plan to return in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend the Baikers Hotel for anyone seeking personal service, stunning accommodation, and delicious food.

From the moment I contacted Jason (owner) for the booking till we checked out, the whole process has been very smooth. Jason is very responsive and has even recommended us to a guide cum driver. Superb! He spoke good English too! Room was big, very clean, with bedroom slippers for all of us plus the usual amenities offered by the 5 star international hotels. Bed was comfortable and firm. We had a lovely view of the rice terrace while sipping tea, provided by the hotel. We had dinner @ the hotel and it was tasty. Our luggage were personally transported to the hotel by Jason! Well done! A charming, beautiful wooden hotel adorned with modern facilities plus breathtaking views of the rice terrace - perfect start to our holiday! If you do go to Ping-an Village or visit the rice terrace, this is the hotel to go for! Thank you Jason for the hospitality!

I am truly speechless – deeply impressed and simply overjoyed by how beautiful and memorable my stay at this hotel was. Above all, and perhaps surprisingly, what made the greatest impact was the genuine friendliness of the staff and the owner. I was warmly welcomed, supported and advised – always with a smile. A true relief compared to much of what I’ve experienced in hotels across the country over the past few weeks. Not a single five-star hotel I stayed at in China in the past weeks came close to the level of care and warmth I received here at this charming boutique hotel, which officially holds a three-star-plus rating – though it honestly deserves far more. The hotel is in excellent condition, finished to a high standard, and designed in the style of a traditional Chinese inn. The wooden interiors and decorative elements are reminiscent of a refined teahouse – lovingly executed and harmonious in every detail. Yet it offers the consistency and precision of a well-managed hotel. It may be called a guesthouse in style, but it performs like a proper hotel – with all the benefits of both. The bathroom is generously sized and features a large walk-in shower with a rainfall head – something I didn’t even have at the last five-star property I stayed in. Everything is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. There’s a sense of care in the details, and the entire design invites comfort and calm. And then there’s the view – an absolute highlight. From my balcony I looked down into the valley, across the famous rice terraces and out into the green hills and layered mountains beyond. It’s the kind of view that stops you in your tracks. No photo can do it justice. The room itself was spacious, newly fitted out in solid timber and extremely clean. Everything felt fresh and new – as if just renovated. Even details like the electronic “Do Not Disturb” signs were in place, as you’d expect in a higher-class hotel. In-room amenities included a kettle, a selection of teas (no capsule coffee machine – nor was one expected), slippers, safe, toothbrushes, razors, shower cap – everything provided without compromise. The owner also kindly shared advice on local hikes and had a clear and helpful map with five recommended walking routes, tailored to different fitness levels and durations. Perfect for solo exploration. At dinner, the à la carte menu featured a wide variety of Chinese dishes, with vegetarian options such as tofu and egg fried rice available – a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The restaurant staff were lovely – smiling, attentive, and even capable in English, which made communication very easy despite the rural setting. Breakfast is served as a fixed plate rather than buffet or à la carte – toast, egg, fruit, and butter were standard – but it was absolutely fine, and additions like chocolate milk or extra dishes were available at a small extra charge. I gladly paid for mine. Some 5-star hotels in China did not provide chocolate milk at all. I only stayed one night – which is a real pity, because this is the kind of place I could have easily spent 2 or 3 nights relaxing, hiking and simply being. Everything here felt more personal, more welcoming, and more lovingly run than in many grander properties. You feel genuinely looked after. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff, particularly the owner, was without a doubt the best I experienced on this entire trip.
