5-Star Hotels in Yangshuo

Staying 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!

This guesthouse is located near the Comprehensive Wharf (Gongnong Bridge) and right by the Big Banyan Tree scenic area. It's nestled in a village, with a village road in front and a dedicated parking lot. The lobby on the first floor has a tea station, and they thoughtfully provide things like band-aids, dental floss, and mosquito repellent. The service is excellent; the housekeeper contacts you in advance. Afternoon tea is delivered to your room daily, and there's sweet soup in the evening. The restaurant is on the 6th floor, and their rice noodles for breakfast are delicious. Dinner is also fantastic; I highly recommend the 'Immortal Chicken,' pan-fried Wagyu with butter, and crispy Hehua fish. If you're with a large group, it's a good idea to book a table and order in advance. The food here is much better than the other local restaurants and farmhouses nearby.

Tongxiang doesn't just feel like a luxurious hotel; it's a place that thoroughly draws you in, allowing you to immerse yourself in a tranquil and private atmosphere. Whether you're in your room or the restaurant, you're greeted by a picturesque, ink-wash landscape painting of Yangshuo and the Zen-like serenity of emerald bamboo groves. The service is incredibly comfortable and thoughtful; they always check with me about my preferences and plans, whether it's for room cleaning or an evening snack. It would be absolutely perfect if they could improve their mosquito control efforts. Breakfast is à la carte, and every dish is beautifully presented and tastes delicious. After checking out, they didn't push for a five-star review; instead, they simply asked for any feedback on areas for improvement, showing a guest-first attitude that makes Tongxiang my top choice for future visits to Yangshuo.

Our stay with the kids was fantastic! They had so much fun they didn't want to leave. The hotel has a dedicated kids' club where they can play to their heart's content. The afternoon tea and breakfast provided were both exquisite! (Great presentation too, haha!) In the lobby, you can enjoy oil tea, sew embroidered balls, and try on Zhuang ethnic costumes for free photos. It's very suitable for families with children. The overall environment is comfortable, and the service is thoughtful and attentive. Highly recommend for family trips!

Staying at Ink-wash Landscape feels like escaping into a picturesque mountain retreat. Drawing the curtains reveals an endless vista of peaks, with clouds drifting over their tips – the scenery is incredibly therapeutic. With panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a view-facing bathtub, you can relax and soak in the mountain views. The 'Sky Mirror' on the 5th-floor rooftop is perfect for photos, and guests receive a complimentary travel photoshoot, with options to try on Hanfu or other traditional ethnic costumes. The welcome fruit, authentic breakfast, and 'goodnight noodle' ceremony add a lovely touch of ritual. You don't need to rush around to tourist spots; you can simply enjoy a slow, relaxing getaway right at the hotel. It's perfectly suited for couples, families, and friends traveling together.

This guesthouse completely exceeded our expectations; it's practically built to star-hotel standards! We were so surprised and delighted. From the booking process to check-in, and even having the air conditioning already on in our room, everything demonstrated incredibly thoughtful service. The dining was a major highlight! We initially thought we'd have to go to a farm restaurant for the same old dishes (beer fish and bamboo rice), but the hotel restaurant's food was excellent. Our kids loved it too, so we ended up eating lunch and dinner at the hotel. The staff were warm, attentive, and had fantastic attitudes! We really hope to visit Yangshuo again and stay at your Wa Pan Yin She next time. 👍👍👍 Our kids and family were very happy and enjoyed our stay immensely!

🏔️😱 Don’t know how it was possible, but this hotel was even more beautiful in real life than the photos. Built inside a renovated historic sugar factory, Yangshuo Sugar House combines the refined aesthetics of the mountain landscape with historical architectural elegance. ✨ 🚙🌾 The hotel offers various free and at-cost activities you can book through their concierge. We wanted to go see the Longji Rice Steps during our stay, which is about an 2.5 hour drive away from Yangshuo by car. I messaged the hotel the day before we arrived and they were able to arrange a private driver to take us there and back over an 8 hour trip. Mr. Qin was amazing and very kind! He took us directly to buy the tickets and then drove us to the entrance point of the cable car. There was pretty extreme rain on the way back and he got us down the mountain very efficiently. It was an extremely memorable day which was only made possible by the hotel’s extraordinary attentive drivers and diligent concierge staff. ⭐️ 🍴The room comes with a daily buffet breakfast, free soft drinks, and fruit. The hotel restaurant is good, but breakfast is really where the food shines. So many delicious options to choose from, and there was adorable panda shaped buns 🐼 📸 The hotel also offers free travel photography on the premises, which takes about 30~ minutes and you receive 5 free photos, with additional available to purchase at 50 yuan. It was fun and very efficient! 🌸 Overall, a major highlight of our China trip & we wish we had stayed longer. Thank you again!

Staying here felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese landscape painting, and the 270-degree panoramic view was absolutely breathtaking! The cantilevered hot spring was perfect for soaking away all my fatigue, the service was attentive, and it was a fantastic spot for photos. There's no need to think about anything here; just spending the whole day relaxing is the ultimate vacation. The hotel also offers a complimentary travel photoshoot, which turned out great, and the photographer was excellent. Highly recommend!

📍 **Great Location, Yet Peaceful** The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from West Street, but surprisingly quiet. It was a really comfortable stay. 🏊‍♀️ **Five-Star Facilities** The huge swimming pool and kids' play area kept my children entertained for hours—they didn't want to leave! A must-visit if you're traveling with little ones. 📸 **Picture-Perfect Spot** The Sky Mirror on the 9th floor of Building A offers breathtaking views! A trip to Yangshuo isn't complete without snapping some beautiful photos here. 🍳 **Delicious Breakfast** The restaurant served a rich and tasty breakfast that satisfied our whole family. 🛁 **Highly Recommend This Room Type** We stayed in the 270-degree balcony room with a private plunge pool and a large bathtub. The room offered direct views of Yangshuo's mountains and rivers. Soaking in the pool, enjoying snacks, and admiring the scenery—it was truly luxurious!

This resort hotel I stayed at during my trip has an excellent environment. The outdoor pool is divided into children's and adult sections, making water activities very comfortable. The location is also central yet quiet, and the rooms have balconies with mountain views. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to West Street in the afternoon, which is a thoughtful touch. The breakfast spread is rich, with a good variety of fruits, salads, and milk. All rooms are modern in style. There's also a laundry room with dryers and charging stations in the parking lot. The facilities are quite comprehensive, making it a worthwhile stay.
