Anonymous UserOur stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The front desk service was incredibly thoughtful and welcoming. Staff greeted us with smiles, processed our check-in quickly, and even proactively asked about our needs. When the weather was hot, they thoughtfully prepared fresh fruit (crisp plums) and iced drinks (sour plum juice, lemonade) in the lobby for guests to enjoy at any time. The room was clean and tidy, with dust-free floors and fresh bedding. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area and was well-equipped (hair dryer, toiletries). The kids absolutely loved the tent and ride-on toy in the room, and there was plenty of space for them to play freely. On the 10th floor, there's a dedicated kids' play area with slides, a ball pit, and a picture book corner, which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, we were very satisfied.

Elena Prokipchin⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Might Be the Best Hotel in Guilin – Highly Recommended!
If you’re planning a trip to Guilin, look no further. This hotel exceeded every expectation and became one of the biggest highlights of our trip. From the incredible location and breathtaking views to the outstanding service and unforgettable experiences, everything was simply perfect.
📍 The Perfect Location
The hotel is perfectly located next to Fubo Hill, with beautiful views of the Li River and Guilin’s iconic karst mountains. The Two Rivers & Four Lakes Scenic Area, restaurants, cafés, shopping streets, and many of the city’s top attractions are all within easy walking distance. We couldn’t have chosen a better location.
🏊 Stunning Rooftop Infinity Pool
The rooftop infinity pool is absolutely breathtaking. Swimming while enjoying panoramic views of the Li River and Guilin’s spectacular mountain landscape was one of the most memorable moments of our stay. It’s truly one of the most beautiful hotel pools we’ve ever experienced.

🎣 Authentic Local Experiences
This hotel offers so much more than just a place to stay. One of our favorite experiences was traditional riverside fishing with cormorants, which was both relaxing and uniquely local. We also loved the Chinese calligraphy class, children’s craft activities, and the complimentary traditional costume photoshoot with three beautifully edited photos included.
👨👩👧👦 Perfect for Families
Our children loved the spacious indoor playroom and all the activities prepared by the hotel. It is an excellent choice for families traveling with kids.

The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from West Street, but surprisingly quiet. It was a really comfortable stay.

🏔️😱 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!

This stay exceeded my expectations, a genuine five-star review is a must! The location is absolutely fantastic, making it incredibly convenient for getting around, dining, and shopping. The front desk staff, especially Pipi, was incredibly polite and gentle, handling both check-in and check-out very efficiently without any delays. Vivian from the loyalty department was super quick to respond to minor requests and consistently paid attention to details – highly recommend her! The room was spotless, the bedding soft and comfortable, ensuring a full night's sleep. The bathroom facilities had consistent water pressure. The public areas were clean and elegant, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, making for excellent sleep quality. It offers great value for money, perfect for both business trips and short getaways. I'll definitely prioritize this hotel next time I'm in the area, truly recommend it to all my friends!

Guest UserThe hotel location is convenient, right next to MixC. There's a subway station downstairs, and the high-floor hotel offers great views. We had a minor issue though – the air conditioner in our room was broken and incredibly noisy. We had to switch rooms in the middle of the night, but thankfully, we still managed to get a few hours of quiet sleep. The hotel duty manager and the front desk staff did their best to coordinate the situation. Their swift handling of the problem is commendable. The mattress is supportive, so even with a bad back, I could sleep comfortably.

Guest UserI highly recommend the Shangri-La Hotel Guilin! This well-established five-star hotel, located right on the Li River, offers an absolutely fantastic experience ✨
The hotel boasts an elegant environment with extensive gardens. The back gate provides direct access to the Li River, making it perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying the scenery. We stayed in a river-view room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered direct views of the Li River and the karst peaks. Opening the window was like stepping into a Guilin landscape painting, with misty clouds in the morning and absolutely breathtaking views.
The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. The staff provided attentive and thoughtful service, and check-in was warm and polite. With both indoor and outdoor pools, plus a kids' club, it's absolutely ideal for a vacation with seniors and children.
The location is convenient for getting around, with attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill just a short drive away. Choosing this hotel for our trip to Guilin was a very wise decision; it offered a wonderfully relaxed vacation experience. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Guilin!

YangJing318The room was spacious and the location was super convenient. It's really close to Ten-Mile Gallery and Guilin Romance Park. Plus, it's right by West Street but surprisingly quiet. You can easily rent an electric scooter to explore all of Yangshuo! Oh, and the plums at the hotel were delicious 😋. The front desk staff, both the guys and the girls, were incredibly helpful and friendly, giving great recommendations for sightseeing routes. Yangshuo's scenery is just breathtaking!

YouxiandeyunThe hotel is located right by Rong Lake, near the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area, which is very quiet. In the mornings, you can hear birds chirping from the park. It's a 15-minute walk to the free Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, and a 7-minute walk to see the Sun and Moon Pagodas at night, where you can also take a cruise. This location pretty much covers all the attractions in Guilin city. All the hotel staff were lovely, and I especially want to thank a female staff member or supervisor at the front desk – I'm not entirely sure which she was. It had been raining for days, and after checking out, we canceled our train to Yangshuo, fearing flooding and that we wouldn't be able to enjoy ourselves there. She told us that since we had traveled so far, we should still go and see it, as the scenery is beautiful and it doesn't rain constantly; we wouldn't know until we got there. So, we re-bought our tickets and went. She even helped us make a waterproof cover for our child's camera, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we got there, we found it hadn't rained for the past two days, and we were able to enjoy bamboo rafting and everything. The scenery truly was breathtaking, and it was definitely worth the trip! Coming all the way from Beijing, it certainly made our long journey worthwhile. We came here in a hurry this time and didn't plan anything, relying entirely on the information and advice from the front desk concierge. Their explanations made everything so much clearer. We'll definitely choose this place again for our next trip.

magotan2007Let me first vent about Trip.com – all that hard work writing my review, and it just vanished! Had to rewrite the whole thing!
Here's the actual review:
This year, my main reason for visiting was the LUX* Chongzuo Secret Garden, and it certainly didn't disappoint. My whole family loved it and was extremely satisfied!
First off, in terms of both hardware and software, as well as corporate culture, LUX* Chongzuo Secret Garden far surpasses other hotels in Guangxi. It even rivals, or perhaps even exceeds, the Aman Summer Palace and Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing we stayed at a few years ago, not to mention the Naked series.
The service is impeccable. Whether it's the frontline staff or management, their service awareness is incredibly strong, and they clearly take deep pride in their work. Our butler, Peter, was always online and ready to assist with any request (unlike the Banyan Tree we're currently staying at, where the butler is basically never online and we have to call them directly). Peter definitely deserves a huge thumbs up! 👍🏻
LUX* truly allows you to relax and reconnect with nature. This alone makes it better than 99% of other hotels.
As for the downsides, one is that it's quite remote – though that can also be seen as an advantage. Also, it might be a good idea to equip the villa rooms with microwave ovens. Another small issue is that the mosquito nets in the rooms are too long; while they look good, they can get dirty easily and are a tripping hazard for small children.
(Trip.com, I wrote so much in my review, and it just logged me out! Had to rewrite it all.)
