Yangshuo Mountain Retreat

Date: 7th of Sep, 2019 - Amazing location - 4/5 on Tripadvisor

We stayed 5 nights here. The hotel is located in an amazing location. Basically tourists came here to take pictures. You can enjoy their food at their restaurant because everything is delicious and the view outside is stunning. The hotel offers free bikes and the path to the fields is right next to the hotel. Continue reading.. We enjoyed biking for 1 or 4 hours as the scenery is amazing. They are very responsive and replied to all my messages and queries and organised a pick up service for us. They charge a bit more for excursions or to rent a scooter or pick up services because they are not located in the city center , if u want to avoid that u can find your way around and ask in the main road located down, maybe a 10-15mins by bike. Room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. We had a mountain view, however the road is just behind the bedroom so you can hear the cars, scooters etc. Staff is very nice. However they serve the food whenever is ready so sometimes my husband ate before me since his dish was warm and I had to wait for mine. Would be better to serve the dishes at the same time. They have a TV but it s not satellite, it s like a smart TV full of series: I did not mind this, but there are no subtitles everything is in Chinese. We did not book tours with them, only the Impressions and told us to book specific seats which were slightly more expensive but for this type of activity was totally worth    View Less...

Yangshuo Tea Cozy

Date: 6th of Sep, 2019 - We loved our 3 night stay at the Tea Cosy - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

ve been more helpful. From lots of friendly email contact about the booking to helping us sort out our trips when we arrived.
We had the large family suite comprising two adjoining rooms which suited the 4 of us perfectly. We had to be brave about the odd insect in the room but that’s the countryside for you!
It was the only hotel with a pool during our tour of China and it was a really welcome treat to end the day with a swim. Continue reading.. The views of the mountains are spectacular.
We borrowed the hotel bikes which enabled us to cycle to the Yangshuo river and take a leisurely bamboo raft downstream. A memorable, end to a fabulous tr    View Less...

were amazing! We had a suite so our daughters were in one part of the suite and we had a private area with a king bed with huge glass windows on 3 sides overlooking the mountains. They even had Chinese clothes there that you could borrow and use for photos. We adopted our daughter from China 14 years ago. Continue reading.. It was very special to stay at this hotel on her birthday, she dressed up in the traditional Chinese clothes and we did a photo shoot! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay h    View Less...

Alila Yangshuo Hotel

Date: 3rd of Sep, 2019 - Alila at its best - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

This is the fifth Alila property we've stayed at and I would say it is the best. The setting is stunning: an old sugar factory brilliantly converted into a luxury hotel. The view of the mountains and the river are spectacular, particularly from the pool area. The blending of the factory's original architecture and the new hotel sections is seamless, giving the entire place an authentic, consistent feel. Continue reading.. The food at dinner was excellent, and the breakfasts had a great variety of options both Western and Chinese. We had a standard room on the fifth floor, very spacious with a huge bathroom with a tub and rainforest shower. Though the main hotel building is close to the road and the corridors can be loud, the rooms themselves are well-insulated and we never had any issues with the sound. The service was excellent; I at one point had prepared some laundry to take to the desk, then forgot, but housekeeping took the initiative and took care of it for me, which was a huge help. We did two activities, the factory tour (with the wonderful Maria) and the syrup-making workshop, both of which I highly recommend. Overall, an excellent time, and I'm so glad we built an extra day in at this place to relax by the pool.

The only suggestion I would say is that the bar service could be improved. Poolside service was very spotty, and a few times we had to go up to the indoor bar ourselves, which isn't great when you're in a wet suit. Same in the evenings at the bar, table service was all but non-existent. Minor points, in general we loved it.    View Less...

Banyan Tree Yangshuo

Date: 2nd of Sep, 2019 - Quiet and serenely peaceful - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

e the photos from the hotel looked very stylish but then we discovered how noisy the rooms were and switched it to Banyan Tree. Very happy that we did so. Every penny was well spent. <

Banyan Tree Yangshuo

Date: 1st of Sep, 2019 - Tranquility - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

Just returned from a family trip to China and spent 2 nights here while exploring the area with our guide. Returning to a quiet, peaceful and beautiful resort after spending time touring was perfect. The Chinese restaurant on the property served some of the best food we had on our 16 day trip. The breakfast buffet in the morning was abundant and satisfying. Continue reading.. The "happy hour" at sunset was a lovely outdoor event with drinks and small bites. Golf carts driven by staff were available to transport us/our luggage to/from our rooms. The infinity pool overlooks the Karst mountains. The pond is filled with Koi that kids can feed. Peacocks roam. The only issue we had was with our A/C (and, it is HOT and HUMID in August). They were not able to fix the central unit, but brought in a portable that kept the room nice and cool. Definitely recommend if spending time in the area!!    View Less...

The Giggling Tree

Date: 30th of Aug, 2019 - Great location, dirty pool and expensive drinks - 3/5 on Tripadvisor

e that a lot of new buildings are build right in front, behind and next to the giggling tree. Staff is really nice and helpfull.
It is nice to have every day a lot of bottels of water in the room. The room is nice, big and clean.
Also it is great to be able to order pancakes for the kids and chat with all the dutch people (feels like a dutch invasion). Continue reading..
It is a lot of fun to relax and drive a scooter in the area.
The drinks however are more expensive than in the rest of China (beer is 20 yuan and a coke is 12, however the Chinese restaurant in front of the giggling Sells beer for 8 yuan and a coke for 5. The swimming pool was really dirty (even the old dutch owners that came by where dissapointed that this was neglected this way) and this was probably the worst we had seen anywhere in C    View Less...

We stayed with our family at the yangshuo mountain retreat for one week. Everything was perfect, the people in the hotel were very friendly and could always give us very good recommendations what to do. The location is PERFECT! Our room had a terrace right at the river with an astonishing view over the river and at the mountains. Continue reading.. It was definitely the most beautiful place for a hotel that we had ever seen. We would always recommend the mountain retreat. Also the food and breakfast was very delicious.

Alila Yangshuo Hotel

Date: 27th of Aug, 2019 - Much potential but needs work - 4/5 on Tripadvisor

Praise is due to the developer who took and old sugar mill and turned it into something architectuarally interesting and potentially very exciting. There are great touches... but a 5 star hotel, which I believe it aspires to be, should appeal to both the seasoned high end travellers as well a newer travellers. Continue reading.. The latter can be blinded by form, the former will judge both form and function and re function will find it lacking in a number of respects: Badly lit at ground level around the buildings/ponds can be quite dangerous; 3 star level of staff training (many examples but limited space here); Bar too stark and uninviting (empty whilst we stayed), better thought-out lighting could transform it. Bar staff reluctant (lazy?) to put cushions outside even though it was not raining and we asked for them to do so. Dining room interesting but too small - had to queue for a table. Food ok but not exciting. Rooms at front noisy due to proximity to road. The great form can be seen from the photos, the functional experience needs work to be 5 star (or established 4).Much potential but more focus on detail required. (Please take this as constructive criticism - it is meant to be helpful as there is much potential)    View Less...

Banyan Tree Yangshuo

Date: 25th of Aug, 2019 - Beautiful property with bad software - 3/5 on Tripadvisor

The place is stunning and the grounds are immaculate. Nice architecture of Qing dinasty style. It resembles a small village and is a pleasure to walk around the grounds and the river front.

Is our second visit to this property. Previous one was a much better experience, three years ago.

The staff struggled with English. Continue reading.. The pricing system is not clear and you don’t really know how much you are charged for. The BBQ in the room has 2 VERY different prices depending of who you ask. The amenities have all a tag hanging that says that if you like it you can buy it in the store. So you don’t know if you will be charged for the toothbrush or the nail file.

They did charge us for : milk in the mini bar for the coffee and the fan with publicity of the hotel ( we got an identical one in the streets for USD 1)

Luggage was misplaced, reception people don’t know what you are talking about , the other tables are left dirty while you eat... too long of a list

Don’t bother using the concierge services to arrange tours. We had my parents with reduced mobility and did not cater for them at all. The second and third day we used a local agency for our tours.     View Less...

Date: 25th of Aug, 2019 - Great place to stay in Yangshuo - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

A very nice hotel with beautiful and very clean rooms. We stayed in a corner room which is very modern and is nicely decorated, with a wonderful bathroom. The staff were really friendly providing support for everything. They speak really good English which is not very common out there.... The food in the restaurant was fantastic, either Chinese or European food. Continue reading.. The hotel is located a little bit out of Yangshuo (15-20 min walk to the city center) although there is a free shuttle from/to the hotel which is very convenient. Highly recommended.    View Less...

Yangshuo Village Inn

Date: 21st of Aug, 2019 - Incredible hotel and wonderful staff set in the most picturesque natural beauty! - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

was a blissful and serene experience full of joy and contentment. The eco friendly focus of the hotel, was inspiring and ahead of the curve in China.

The out of town location surrounded by the incredible Karst peaks was a perfect break from the touristy nature of town.

The staff (Sunny, Jing, and Rita) were outstanding, repeatedly going above and beyond to make our stay special, and always with the warmest of smiles. Continue reading.. A special shout out should go to Gloria who handled all our travel requests, no matter how complex or bizarre and was quick to recommend the best itinerary for our two days there.

Highlights of our trip included every meal at the Luna Italian restaurant, and the on the dot arrival of tailor made breakfasts in the garden. Tai Chi on the roof, and excursions including mud baths in the Gold Water Cave, and climbing to the summit of Moon Hill at sunrise were memorable moments.

Overall it exceeded our expectations, and all for an unbelievably reasonable price.

Date: 20th of Aug, 2019 - Exceeded our expectation! - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

Never thought a boutique hotel with such reasonable price range could provide us with this class of unparalleled and authentic experience of a tourist city, we just enjoyed every bit of it. The view from this hotel was already out of this world - it was surrounded by beautiful scenery in the protected area of the region. Continue reading.. The rooms were clean and spacious with good amenities. For the best part of staying in this hotel, it was the staff members who were very impressive - they speak good English and understand guests’ needs so well, we are so impressed by the service provided by Amy, she was just so caring and attentive and helped us arrange a few tours and gave good suggestions. Would definitely like to be back!
