Boutique Hotels in Yangshuo

📍Yangshuo – So 'city' staying inside the 20 RMB banknote with the kids! Ever since I became a mom, traveling has been all about avoiding hassle. This time, I brought my one-year-old to Yangshuo and discovered this hidden gem of a guesthouse in Xingping Ancient Town – Li Hua Chen's Garden. It was so worry-free, I nearly cried tears of joy! @Yangshuo Chen's Garden Resort Hotel 📍Perfect Location, No Stress with Kids The guesthouse is right in the core scenic area where the 20 RMB banknote backdrop is, built alongside the river, directly facing the Li River. A few steps downstairs take you to the bamboo raft boarding point, and exploring Xingping Ancient Town is super convenient. Open the window, and you're greeted by the picturesque Li River landscape. We could enjoy the mountains and rivers from our room with the baby, avoiding the crowds. 🏠Comfortable Room, Perfect Details The room came equipped with a Dyson hairdryer and a smart toilet. The mattress was a King Koil, and the pillows were white goose down – incredibly comfortable. There was also a clean, dreamy bathtub with milk bath salts. After the baby was asleep, I could soak in the tub and enjoy the mountain view, letting all the fatigue melt away! 📸Sky Mirror, Instant Blockbuster Shots The Sky Mirror on the 5th floor is a must-visit spot! The reflections of the mountains and rivers are as beautiful as a fairyland, making every shot a masterpiece. There's also a pool and garden on the first floor, and the baby had a blast playing in the yard. 💁♀️Attentive Service, Like Coming Home The service was absolutely impeccable! Not only did they offer free breakfast and afternoon tea, but also thoughtful late-night snacks. The staff were incredibly patient with my baby. They even brought me a pot of tea when they saw me organizing photos, and sent us off warmly when we checked out. Choosing the right accommodation is so crucial when traveling with kids, and this place is definitely the ultimate family-friendly spot in Yangshuo! While the baby is still young, let's show him more of this world 🌿

The best decision I made on this trip to Yangshuo was staying at Su She. From the moment I got out of the car and they helped with my luggage, I could feel the attentive, butler-style service. The front desk lady was incredibly sweet; she not only helped me plan my itinerary but also recommended some amazing local restaurants – absolutely no duds! The welcome fruit upon check-in and the sweet soup at night were really a nice touch, making me feel right at home. The guesthouse's location is perfect – quiet yet convenient for getting around, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Next time I bring my family, I'll definitely choose this place again!

The service was exceptional. We arrived very late on our first day, and the owner waited for us until the early hours of the morning. He even drew a detailed map for us, which was truly touching. He also provided a lot of help with car rental and transportation. Renting a car and booking tickets through the shop were very affordable. If you're planning a trip here and unsure how to plan, you can ask the owner for advice; he's incredibly dedicated. The hotel looks small, but the rooms are spacious, clean, and quiet. The bedding was also very nice. This was the most satisfying hotel we stayed at during this trip. Plus, for this price, it has a swimming pool, which was also very clean – a pleasant surprise! Finally, the location is amazing. It's probably the best hotel in the area in terms of scenery. There are no large buildings nearby, making it perfect for watching the sunrise, morning mist, and mountain views – a truly unforgettable experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Magical Stay in Yangshuo! Ji Yun was truly one of the highlights of our China trip! The staff were wonderful, the grounds and mountain views were breathtaking, and our room was phenomenal—complete with our own private pool. 😍 The hotel team was also incredibly helpful with local recommendations and suggestions for exploring Yangshuo, which made navigating the area so much easier. A MUST is the onsite photography experience with Ethan Travel Photography. They handled everything—makeup, traditional outfits, posing, and the perfect scenic locations. And don’t worry if you don’t speak Mandarin—they know how to communicate and will have you feeling like an Empress or Emperor! 👑 Trust the process—the photos are worth it! Beautiful property, incredible hospitality, and memories we’ll treasure forever. ❤️

This guesthouse was so healing! Right outside the door were vast fields of rapeseed flowers, which the host told me they planted themselves, one by one. The room balcony offered views of both the mountains and the river, and the whole place was stylishly decorated with solid wood. In winter, they light the fireplace morning and evening, creating a wonderful ambiance. The breakfast was incredibly delicious too. I'll definitely come back again!

Exceeded expectations! Choosing this guesthouse was absolutely worth it! The front desk lady was very enthusiastic and showed us to our room, explaining all the facilities. The room was spacious and even had mountain spring water to drink. The only, only downside is that it's a bit far from Yangshuo town, but the guesthouse offers a shuttle service, so it's manageable. It was great. I'd definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Yangshuo!

Firstly the location is spectacular, which is the main reason we booked. The view from the room was really beautiful and it was easy enough to get to the old town by boat. Secondly the owner was so lovely and helpful and helped us organise many activities, and even accompanied us on a few. The staff are very responsive and helpful on wechat and helped us organise activities and meals. The dog was also a big highlight for our kids, especially my daughter who even cried about leaving him. The terrace is lovely too and has an amazing view. The meals cooked for us were very nice, and breakfast was adequate. The room is ok, a bit basic but met our needs. The only complaint I have is that the rooms are not sound proof, and therefore you hear every sound in the corridor and stairs. We travelled with young children who go to bed early and they struggled to fall asleep with the noise of kids running, playing and screaming in the hallway. It may not be an issue for those going to sleep later, but for us it was tough. The staff however did respond to our feedback and asked the kids to be quiet, but you do still hear people moving around outside. Overall I would recommend.

This is the most satisfying Zen-style hotel I've stayed at in Yangshuo! Nestled by mountains and rivers, it offers stunning, immersive views directly facing the Yulong River and its picturesque peaks. Looking out at the lotus pond is incredibly refreshing and perfect for photos! The room was clean and elegant, with a comfortable and serene Zen-inspired decor. The facilities were complete, and the soundproofing was excellent. The staff provided attentive and thoughtful service, and breakfast was nutritious and fresh. The hotel boasts a swimming pool, a scenic tea room, and even wellness experience programs. It's a tranquil oasis amidst the bustle, making it an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend staying here when you visit Yangshuo!

Unbeatable location, but seriously disappointing when things went wrong Let's start with the biggest win: this hotel is smack-dab in the middle of absolutely everything! You literally cannot ask for a better spot – walking distance to all the main attractions, restaurants, and transport. For location, it gets a perfect 10/10. Now for the tough part. We had the really bad luck that the hotel experienced a major water supply issue during our stay. And I mean major – we couldn't use the toilet, take a shower, or even wash our hands. For any traveler, that's a complete nightmare and honestly unacceptable for a hotel stay. To give them some credit, the hotel did try to smooth things over by offering our entire family free breakfast as compensation. While the gesture was nice, I have to be blunt: free breakfast just doesn't cut it when you can't perform basic daily necessities. For the level of inconvenience we endured – not being able to shower or flush the toilet – the hotel should have offered a much more appropriate solution, such as a partial refund for the affected night(s). My verdict? Book this place for the incredible location – you won't beat it. But my strong advice is: if anything major goes wrong during your stay, don't settle for a free meal. Push for proper financial compensation, because a few croissants and coffee simply don't make up for not having running water. Great spot, but they really need to step up their customer service game when serious issues arise!

Before booking, I was a bit worried because the weather forecast predicted rain, but after checking in, I realized that traveling during the off-season was an amazing experience! Having the place practically to ourselves was an indescribable feeling! Even though there weren't many guests, all the facilities were fully operational: the courtyard, pool, lounge chairs, open-air cinema and bonfire, the slide roof, and even the stargazing room... absolutely everything was open! The hotel didn't cut any corners or skip any experiences just because of the rain or the low occupancy. From picking us up at Yangshuo High-Speed Rail Station to packing us breakfast when we had to rush off the next morning, the service was absolutely top-notch. It's a shame that the weather wasn't on our side this trip, as it rained constantly, so I didn't get to see Guilin in its sunny glory. I'll definitely come back next time, on a clear day, and bring my parents to stay at Yunlu – I'm sure they'll love it too.
