Guest UserGreat check-in experience! The room was clean with no strange smells, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was pretty good. The front desk staff were warm and polite, the location is convenient and easy to find, and it offers great value for money. Staying here gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Will definitely come back next time~

If you are looking for the perfect hotel in Yangshuo, look no further, because you found it. At first I believed that all the hype was just that, but experiencing this hotel is literally a painting coming to life. The service staff is beyond attentive and looking out for your well-being. Bella was our host and, together with her colleagues, was always just a WeChat window away for any request. We needed an iron and it was brought to the room within five minutes. We missed the included afternoon tea the first night, so they put some dessert to the side and brought it, as well as a sweet little Chinese soup, to our room. This is really next-level service I have not witnessed before.
Our room was in building 8, which is like a five-minute walk, if you take your time walking. However, they offer to drive you from one building to another in a golf cart whenever you need. You just need to give a short heads-up. The room was simply stunning. We didn’t use the bathtub in the room since we had a wonderful pool right there in building 8. Breakfast was served at building 2, where you can gaze at the wonderful Yangshuo (20-RMB bank note view) karst mountains while munching down on your Western or Eastern-style breakfast. I opted for the freshly made beef noodle soup because, of course!
Included in the price is a 30-minute photo shoot with a professional photographer, also from the hotel, who also offers you the chance to put on costumes in the studio, if you want. The photos can be taken in building 2 or 8. We wanted to have them taken in building 2, since the garden offers so many cool and interesting settings. Even a Tolkien-style hobbit house or stairs to heaven. The kicker is that you get them dropped right onto your phone. No waiting needed! Also, if you need to wash your clothes, they have several modern washing machines and dryers on the second floor of building 8 at no extra charge. They even provide detergent, etc.
We only stayed two nights, but we look forward to coming back again. Next time I will try not to forget anything in the room, but even for the item I forgot, they generously offered to send it to the next hotel we stayed at in Shenzhen. ”No problem at all,” they said. We were in awe.

Guest UserA beautiful five-star hotel with exceptional rooms, but details to improve
Overall, a beautiful hotel with impressive facilities, wonderful views, excellent food, a great location for exploring Yangshuo and exceptionally clean rooms. However, some aspects of maintenance, hygiene and service fall short of what we would expect at this price point.
ROOMS, FACILITIES AND CLEANLINESS
The hotel has beautiful architecture and a lovely atmosphere. Our room was spacious, bright, tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable and offered wonderful views. Having stayed in numerous hotels throughout China, we can confidently say that the room was among the cleanest we encountered: truly outstanding housekeeping.
Unfortunately, the restaurant restroom was a striking exception. It was dirty and smelled unpleasant, in stark contrast to the impeccable room. A five-star hotel cannot afford this inconsistency: hygiene standards should be equally high throughout the property, particularly near dining areas.
FOOD AND MAINTENANCE
We really enjoyed the restaurant, which served good-quality, tasty food. Breakfast was also excellent, with a varied selection; the freshly prepared noodles were especially delicious.
A few room maintenance details need attention: the silicone seal around the bathroom door was coming loose, the showerhead water pressure was inadequate, and some water leaked from the shower hose’s threaded connection. These are minor defects that did not significantly affect our comfort, but a five-star property should maintain its fixtures with greater care.
SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY
Staff were polite, professional and helpful. Nevertheless, compared with other hotels we visited across China, the hospitality felt more reserved and less personalised, lacking some of the warmth, attentiveness and thoughtful touches we experienced elsewhere.
We were also surprised that guests had to do their own laundry. Several four-star hotels we stayed at provided a fully managed laundry service. Having that option here, even for an extra charge, would be reasonable given the hotel’s category and pricing.
A DISAPPOINTING HOTEL RECOMMENDATION
The hotel proactively recommended Impression Liu Sanjie and helped us book it; we had not originally requested this activity. Despite the show’s popularity and positive online reviews, we found it extremely disappointing. The lighting was impressive, but the singing was poor, the performances repetitive, and the excessive waving and exaggerated gestures made the production feel simplistic and childish. In our view, it lacked artistic depth, creativity and meaningful storytelling. It might suit families looking for straightforward entertainment, but not visitors expecting a sophisticated cultural performance. Tickets were exceptionally expensive for what was offered, and we left after approximately 30 minutes.
When proactively recommending such a costly activity, a hotel should offer an objective, specific description of the experience rather than relying on popularity or reputation, so guests can assess whether it matches their interests. We explained this to the staff. Although it took some discussion, they were ultimately receptive to our feedback and expressed willingness to consider it in future recommendations, which we appreciated.
OVERALL
Despite these criticisms, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. The beautiful facilities, fantastic room, exceptional room cleanliness, views, restaurant, breakfast and location are major strengths. With consistent hygiene in shared areas, closer maintenance checks, warmer hospitality, a managed laundry option and more informative activity recommendations, the hotel could better deliver the complete five-star experience its price promises.

Guest UserStaying at the Xi Shi Jin She Hotel was an incredibly healing experience amidst the beautiful landscapes of Yangshuo. The hotel is located right by the Yulong River, and with the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, you're greeted by stunning karst peaks, with bamboo rafts slowly gliding by on the river – it feels like living inside a traditional Chinese ink painting. The room was clean and tidy, the toiletries were of excellent quality, and the facilities were exquisite and comprehensive. The butler service was attentive and thoughtful, and the authentic Guilin rice noodles for breakfast were fresh and delicious. The rooftop infinity pool offered amazing photo opportunities. It's also super convenient for visiting the Ten-Mile Gallery. This is definitely my top choice for a stay in Yangshuo, a perfect experience!

Guest UserA wonderful family hotel with spacious rooms, a pool and a very peaceful atmosphere.
We stayed here as a family with children and really enjoyed our time. In Yangshuo, many hotels have beautiful mountain views, but this hotel stands out because it is not only scenic, but also very quiet, peaceful and comfortable inside. For us, this was a huge advantage.
This is a warm family-style hotel where you feel that the owners truly care about every guest. The hostess was always nearby and personally paid attention to the quality of service. The staff were very friendly, polite and always ready to help.
Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was done on time, and everything felt well maintained. For this level of room, the price was very reasonable, which makes the hotel a very good value for money.
Another big plus is the swimming pool. For a family trip, especially with children, having a pool at the hotel is a real advantage compared with many other hotels in the area.
One of the nicest details was the afternoon tea with sweets — it made the stay feel even more welcoming and personal. The atmosphere of the hotel is calm and relaxing, which is exactly what you need in the mountains. The garden, the views, the fresh air and the peaceful environment helped us rest properly.
The night before, we stayed in another hotel where it was noisy and uncomfortable because of construction nearby, so here we especially appreciated the silence, cleanliness and comfort. We finally had a proper rest.
This hotel is a great choice for families, for people travelling with children, and for anyone who wants a quiet and cozy place surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. We left with very warm impressions and would be happy to come back again.
Highly recommended.
Прекрасный семейный отель с просторными номерами, бассейном и очень спокойной атмосферой
Мы останавливались здесь семьёй с детьми, и нам всё очень понравилось. В Яншо, как мы поняли, у многих отелей есть красивые виды на горы, но большое преимущество именно этого отеля в том, что здесь не только красиво, но ещё и очень тихо, спокойно и комфортно внутри. Для нас это было огромным плюсом.
Это уютный семейный отель, где чувствуется настоящая забота о гостях. Хозяйка всегда была рядом и лично контролировала качество обслуживания. Персонал очень доброжелательный, вежливый, всегда старался помочь и сделать проживание максимально комфортным.
Номер был очень просторный, чистый и удобный. Уборка проводилась вовремя, всё было аккуратно и приятно. Для такого уровня номера цена, на наш взгляд, очень недорогая, поэтому соотношение цены и качества здесь отличное.
Отдельный большой плюс — наличие бассейна. Для семейной поездки, особенно с детьми, это действительно важное преимущество по сравнению со многими другими отелями в этом районе.
Также нам очень понравились приятные детали: послеобеденный чай со сладостями, зелёный двор, красивые виды, свежий воздух и общая спокойная атмосфера. В горах именно такой отдых особенно ценен — здесь можно по-настоящему расслабиться и восстановиться.
Ночь до этого мы провели в другом отеле, где рядом шла стройка, было шумно и душно. Поэтому здесь мы особенно оценили тишину, чистоту и комфорт. Мы наконец-то хорошо отдохнули.
Отель отлично подойдёт для семей с детьми и для тех, кто ищет не шумное место, а спокойный, уютный отдых среди красивой природы. У нас остались очень тёплые впечатления, с удовольствием вернулись бы снова.
Очень рекомендуем.

Guest UserI came here with my friends during the summer holiday, specifically for their restaurant which is on the must-try list. While waiting for a table, we found out they also have guest rooms. Hotel guests get a 10% discount and priority seating, so after seeing the rooms, we decisively booked one. Honestly, both their restaurant and guest rooms are excellent. The summer prices were also very reasonable, and the staff were all very polite and enthusiastic. It was our first time in Yangshuo, and they even recommended some fun attractions. The hotel can also book tickets for various scenic spots, so it felt like we didn't really need to plan our route much as they had everything sorted for us. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I bring my family next time. It's very close to the riverside and West Street, both within walking distance. The main thing is, their restaurant is truly amazing! Don't miss it if you come to Yangshuo!

Guest UserThe hotel is conveniently located in the city center, with the Li River right out the back door. The scenery is beautiful, surrounded by small islands in the river and Fubo Hill in the distance. We tried the hotel's photography service, which was excellent; combined with the Li River landscape, the photos turned out great. My parents loved it! The photographer and the photo selection process were both smooth and enjoyable!
We also tried the hotel's restaurant on the sixth floor, which offers fantastic views of the Li River right outside the window! The outdoor area was great, and we even happened to catch a wedding banquet!
The front desk gave us a small souvenir before we checked out, which was a very thoughtful touch.
Thank you! We will definitely come back again!

Staying at Guanhe Wilderness in May was absolutely wonderful! The hotel is surrounded by rice paddies, and opening the window reveals tender green rice seedlings swaying in the breeze. The air is fresh and moist, carrying the natural fragrance of grass and trees. The rooms are simply designed yet rustic, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in the lush green scenery, making you feel completely relaxed. I especially loved dining on the terrace. The staff were very welcoming and recommended great walking routes in the fields and nearby farm experiences for May. The owner even drove us to the viewpoint himself. Staying here completely escaped the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing me to truly experience a slower pace of life. I'd definitely come back! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and tranquility. This stay deserves a rave review!

Wonderful Stay Near Yangshuo Railway Station in xingping
I recently stayed at this lovely hotel right beside Yangshuo Railway Station, and my entire experience was cozy, relaxing and highly satisfying, making it a great pick for both local and international travelers.
The most convenient benefit is the complimentary shuttle service between Yangshuo Railway Station and the hotel, providing free pickups and drop-offs. This took all the stress out of traveling with heavy luggage after a train journey. One minor note: the shuttle only runs until 6 PM, so after this time, guests will need to arrange their own taxi to and from the station.
The rooms are incredibly spacious, bright and immaculately clean. The room comes with a large bathtub and a mini-fridge and the best window view, the hotel has a reliable elevator for easy access to upper floors. The front desk staff were warm, polite and always ready to help with any requests during our stay.
The hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped and peaceful. There is a charming garden area with a tree house, a swing, and a shaded chill-out spot surrounded by lush green trees, perfect for unwinding outdoors. Inside the garden sits a western-style restaurant, and right beside it is a small pond filled with colorful goldfish, which adds a calm, scenic vibe to the property. The hotel also features a nice swimming pool for guests to enjoy. The surrounding area blends historic old buildings that evoke the charm of traditional Chinese dynasties with modern amenities, striking a lovely balance between old-world character and comfort.
Breakfast at the hotel mainly consists of local Yangshuo dishes, which is fantastic for guests who love regional Chinese flavors. Since many foreign visitors stay here, it would be a thoughtful improvement to add freshly brewed coffee from a machine and bread options to the breakfast spread, as not all international guests prefer noodles in the morning. We got great coffee from the on-site western restaurant in the garden, which was really tasty.
For e-bike rentals, there are local vendors right next to the hotel gate offering bikes, though their prices are a bit on the higher side. If you walk just around 50 meters away from the hotel, you’ll find plenty of other rental shops with much more reasonable rates 30 yuan .
Overall, every part of our stay felt comfortable and pleasant, and we truly enjoyed every moment here. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Yangshuo, especially travelers looking for a convenient location near the train station and a peaceful, well-kept property with friendly service.

I had seen so many gorgeous photos of the hotel online before arriving, but being here in person was even better—every snap looked effortlessly Instagram-worthy. Our butler reached out before check-in and helped book activities we were interested in. When they found out there wouldn’t be a fireworks show during our stay, they even specially recorded and shared a video of one for us. In addition to a welcome fruit platter, the room came with cookies, candies, complimentary soft drinks, and plenty of bottled water (they also proactively checked if we needed refills). We ate at the hotel restaurant three times—for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They offer a great mix of Chinese and Western options with plenty of variety. I didn't order heavily, but everything suited my taste, was satisfying, and the breakfast in particular was fantastic! The sunlight streaming over the buffet counter made everything look so fresh and appetizing. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience. I hope I get to catch the fireworks show on my next visit!
