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: 13th of Aug, 2019 - Great hotel, great location, fantastic staff - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

This is a perfect hotel for those who want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of yangshou. With a great view of moon hill and surrounding countryside its a perfect place to relax. The hotel is a small boutique hotel with really interesting decor giving it a very traditional style. We ate at the hotel several times and they serve a mix of Chinese and western dishes and they were all tasty. Continue reading.. But the absolute best thing about this hotel is the staff. From the moment we arrived until we left all the staff were fantastic and so helpful. Including taking the time to show us a short cut to visit some caves and being honest about any trips we were thinking of taking. Great hotel made superb by the friendliness of the staff. And the little leaving gift will always be remembered.    View Less...

Date: 14th of May, 2019 - We Can't Wait to Return! - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

This was our favorite hotel of our entire trip to China! My boyfriend and I loved it and we intend to return again! Tina, Gloria, and all the staff were wonderful and so helpful with planning our days and arranging transportation. Unfortunately, the weather was poor for most of our stay in Yangshuo, so we spent a lot of time in the hotel. Continue reading.. The staff, however, were always pleasant and upbeat and we miss their smiling faces.
I recommend paying for the private taxi to and from Guilin airport. The expense is worth it to save you from the time and headache of using the bus and train. The bed was great - the pillow and duvet were so comfortable and felt luxurious after a long day of hiking. The only thing I have to report on the room is the sink in the bathroom was kind of ridiculous - more for looks than actually washing of hands and/or face. Water always splashed everywhere. But we loved the decor! The restaurant is also fantastic. They have a good selection for breakfast, but I definitely recommend getting the local specialty rice noodles! Best dish I ate in China!    View Less...

Date: 6th of May, 2019 - Quiet stay - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

The hotel is beautiful and very clean. We had a lovely stay, quite far out of Yangshuo (15km), and they arranged for everything : bikes (20RMB a day), scooter (60RMB a day), a driver from Guilin to the hotel (300 RMB), a driver to Xianggong mountain and back for sunrise (350 RMB also - because of a chinese holiday). Continue reading.. Overall very good service from Rita and her colleagues who speak rather good English and are very cautious about your plans : we were told the mountains could be slippery because of the rain, and were advised well on how to get to Xingping and enjoy our day.
The restaurant is good : special mention to the french toast for breakfast, and their chinese dishes are wonderful, as well as their italian cuisine. Sunset from the terrace is wonderful and the view on Moonhill was beautiful.
The fact that they seem to care about the environment is also a big plus : no plastic bottles, solar panels heating the water...    View Less...

Date: 14th of Apr, 2019 - Lush Gem of a Retreat Steps from Moon Hill - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

We stayed here for 3 nights, although we had only planned to stay for 2. The hotel, the staff, and the surrounding area were simply amazing. The hotel is decorated in a warm traditional Chinese style with western comfort. The beds were very comfortable and the hotel’s ecosustainability initiative was a nice touch- having unlimited filtered water kept in glass bottles in the room, refillable at any time, was really nice after having to forage for bottles of water when staying at other places. Continue reading.. The balconies were a great area to sit around on and read or just relax while taking in the beautiful view of Moon Hill; rooms 302 and 303 arguably had the best unobstructed views. Up on the top floor is their restaurant, Luna, which has a big terrace to sit outside and take in the views of Moon Hill and the surrounding village. The food had both Chinese and western options, with the western options being mostly Italian. Breakfast was served downstairs; when it rains there’s a little breakfast room and when it’s nice out, there’s a beautiful grove of fragrant trees to sit under and enjoy your meal. Breakfast was great, lots of options, and their cappuccinos were excellent. The staff always went above and beyond; they made us feel like family. They were extremely helpful and accommodating, often suggesting activities and excursions. Even after we left and I was unable to find the other hotel we had booked more centrally, they contacted the hotel and helped to guide us there (no English at the new hotel/ English sign) and even called to check that everything had gone smoothly. There are very few people that would be so thoughtful or helpful; this hotel has employed all of them. I highly reccommend staying here; don’t hesitate or hash about how many days- stay here longer than anywhere else (or just do the smart thing and ONLY stay here). Yanhshou is easy to access from this location and they have a scheduled shuttle in and out of the city multiple times a day. You can also rent an ebike fosr 60 rmb for the day, and it is very easy to drive yourself in and out; definitely take a day just driving around the countryside seeing the mountains and different rivers/ tributaries/ bridges with the wind through your hair.    View Less...

Date: 10th of Apr, 2019 - We loved Yanshuo Village inn! - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

Really charming and clean hotel, also eco :) There’s a great restaurant and bar on the roof terrace with an amazing view of Moon Hill.

Location is just out of Yangshuo city so much more peaceful. You can borrow the hotel’s bycyles for an easy cycle down the Yangshuo River.

The staff were always happy to arrange transport and day trips should you need. Continue reading.. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient.

Totally recommend!    View Less...

Date: 10th of Feb, 2019 - Amazing Stay - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

Well, I highly recommend this hotel if you enjoy scenic points of Yungshou, as it located near ( can go by bike ride) to all scenic points , though quite far from railway station or city center. We had a really hard time to reach hotel as we took high speed train from Guilin , so I suggest if you are coming from Guilin or Guilin airport better hire a taxi directly to there , it will save your money and much more convenient. Continue reading.. The hotel stuffs are so helpful and I find them best English speaking stuffs in China. They provide all you want to do in your trip. Another thing blowed our mind is food, their Chinese as well as western dishes are very delicious and tempting. All over, this is one of best hotel experiences in China.    View Less...

Date: 7th of Dec, 2018 - Paradise in the Chinese Countryside - 5/5 on Tripadvisor

We loved our stay at Yangshuo Village Inn! We spent two nights/two days at Yangshuo and the staff is amazing. The food is heavenly, we ate at the inn for every meal. The staff is also so helpful to help you book any experiences (we did bike riding, mudbaths and hot springs at the nearby Gold Water Cave, River rafts, and massags). Continue reading.. Warning, we had a hard time getting from the Guilin train station to Yangshuo (it’s about a 1.5 hour journey, it took us about 3 hours with a shady van driver who ended up dropping us off at a bus station about 15 minutes away from the hotel). We could not find one person in Guilin who spoke English. We called the hotel when we were dropped off at the bus station and they speak very, very good English! They sent a car to come rescue us immediately. My suggestion would to be to call the hotel when you arrive in Guilin and pay the extra money for a private car sent by the hotel. After our long journey getting to Yangshuo the staff greeted us with hot ginger tea and tangerines and it was so comforting. The rooms are so nice too! I would 100% recommend and I hope to go back again soon!

P.S. Get the chocolate pancake with bananas for breakfast... so good!!    View Less...
