Yangshuo Inns

Relatively cheap accommodation with window/balcony facing karst mountain, and just 100m from the Li River. Some nice Thai themed embellishments decorate the rooms. Bed is only a small 'double' and has one useable powerpoint near bed right side + light controls. Aircon works well (only small room so to be expected). Overall, OK for 100 RMB per night, but does have a few issues. Booked the 'special promotion' room. Trip.com indicates a room size of 12m square metres, which is incorrect. I measured it at 9.5 square, including the bathroom. If including the small balcony (2.5 sq m), the total room area is 12m best case. Only large enough for single occupancy, with small amount of luggage. Two people would need to climb over eachother to move around. No where near enough space for two - luggage would need to be kept outside on the balcony! Hot water works but is not properly calibrated. Either boiling hot or freezing cold. Extremely difficult to find the right temperature to shower with any comfort. I put full hot, and waited. Water got super hot after 40 seconds. Adjusted to reduce by setting at middle between hot/cold, but water temperature remained super hot. Then pushed to full cold. Water temperature transitioned to cold 29 seconds later. Then put back to middle position but water remained dead cold. Tested this both ways for at least 4 minutes each and remained either scolding hot or freezing cold!! Hotel provides signs to indicate desire to 'please clean room' and I hang this on outer door handle for two days, but to no avail So can only assume the owners don't provide this service. This establishment is only rated as a 2 star hotel, and given the low price point, you really can't complain - on the condition that the tariff is low. Acceptable for 100 -120 RMB per night. Unacceptable for much more than this though.

Choosing the Xianting Hotel for my Xingping trip was definitely the right call; the overall experience exceeded my expectations! The environment and scenery are incredible. The hotel is surrounded by karst mountains, and the courtyard is quiet and tranquil. In the morning, you can watch the mist over the mountains, and in the evening, enjoy the sunset over the peaks. It’s an immersive experience of the beautiful Lijiang landscapes, truly setting a fantastic vacation mood. The rooms are very clean, the bedding is comfortable, and the room service is meticulous and attentive – they're always there when you need them, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. I have to give a special shout-out to the owner. They are genuinely kind and warm-hearted, and incredibly enthusiastic towards guests. They proactively helped with luggage upon arrival and thoughtfully explained all the must-see spots in Xingping, along with tips to avoid tourist traps. They were so practical and heartwarming, just like a kind elder from your own family. The location is convenient for getting around, and it offers great value for money. I highly recommend staying here for anyone visiting Xingping. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Yangshuo!

As a former tourism practitioner, I have stereotypes about Yangshuo that have accumulated over the years: tourist-oriented, commercialized, and a rip-off university. It wasn't until I wanted to try rock climbing that I decided to check it out. It turns out that the off-season for ordinary tourists is the peak season for rock climbers. Look for the Rock Climbing Inn on Xiaohongshu. This is the only one located in the Yulong River Scenic Area. I'm glad I chose it instead of the noisy and monotonous West Street. There is a delicious country bakery, a car rental company and Meiyajia at the door. The rooms are clean and spacious, the public areas are spacious, the small courtyard is lovely, there is a free bouldering wall, a beautiful boss who will give you professional guidance and her even more beautiful mother - we even had a sumptuous dinner she cooked 🍲. It is recommended to stay in a high-rise room with a balcony, which is suitable for rock climbing enthusiasts, parents and children, people with pets, friends, families and other types of travel.

This hotel was in a good location and the staff at the service desk were very friendly and helpful. It was only about 15 minutes walk from the Li river cruise terminal and very close to the centre of Yangshuo! The staff also helped me book discounted tickets to see the Impression show which was really good. However, the walls were very thin so you could hear everything. Also, there is construction work outside the hotel (see photo) which was very noisy and which started early in the morning. This meant that the noise from the builders was very disruptive and as it was so close to the window, I had to keep the windows closed otherwise the builders could see in. Also be warned that there is no lift/elevator so you’ll have to walk up 4 flights of stairs and carry your luggage up/down. One of the staff carried my luggage up when I arrived which was nice!

The inn has an elegant, rustic charm with a beautifully maintained courtyard that's perfect for photos. The rooms are spacious and bright, with soft futon mattresses and spotless cleaning, making for a very comfortable stay. The location is a huge plus, as you can walk to West Street and easily find places to eat, rent a car, and visit attractions nearby. The owner and staff are incredibly thoughtful; they'll proactively recommend sightseeing routes and local dishes, and patiently answer any questions you have. It's a peaceful spot despite being centrally located, so you get a completely undisturbed night's rest.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout our entire visit. They went above and beyond to help us, especially when our train was unexpectedly cancelled and we had to leave much earlier than planned. We weren’t sure how to get to the train station, and they immediately helped us arrange a DiDi and made sure everything worked out smoothly. We really appreciated their support, especially in such a stressful situation! They also gave us great advice on how to get around and explained how to reach some of the most beautiful places in the area. They were always available, very attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. The hospitality was truly exceptional, and we felt very well taken care of. We would absolutely stay here again and can highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so much for everything!

Kate is a great host, very helpful and friendly! The room is perfect. It is good to know that if you want to walk to the city center and the Main Street you have to take the boat to cross the river (but it is quick and cheap). You can rent motorbike. Kate helped us to manage to go to Xinping with the bus and to plan to go around Yangshuo with the motorbike. I recommend! Thank you Kate 🙏🏽

I highly recommend the Pastoral Song Garden Homestay when you visit Yangshuo! The location is superb, right by the Yulong River, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. The courtyard has a fantastic atmosphere, and they frequently organize a variety of outdoor activities like outdoor BBQ, rock climbing, kayaking, and cave exploration. Here, you can meet friends from all over, creating a lively yet healing experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are warm and attentive, offering thoughtful travel advice. You can open your window to stunning views of the Karst landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of West Street. It's perfect for both group trips and relaxing getaways. My stay this time was a perfect 10, and I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Yangshuo!

We stayed in Yangshou for a few days to go climbing and really enjoyed our stay at climbers in! Lily was super kind and personable. She arranged our climbing gear and scooter and told us where to go climbing each day. I would 100 % recommend it, even if you're not a climber! The home is on a very quiet street very close to the main tourist town center. It's right beside an incredible coffee shop which is such a win!!

Budget accommodation option hidden in the back alleys between West Street and Osmanthus Creek. Amidst of all the nightime venues music restaurants and pubs, so plenty of noise up to 2 am. Moise is tolerable, in fact not too bad if in the room, and obviously not a problem at all if out and about until late. Perfect location in the latter case - e.g. only 40m from 'Miss Yangshuo', 60m from RNG, and 100m from Luan le and Pica Pica bars! Cheap room (100 quai) equipped with as new air conditioning, smart tv, and very comfortable king sized bed. Bathroom ok. Water pressure strong and hot water system responsive. Stayed in smallest double room but still ample space for 1 person. Lady owner is attentive to guests and has a professional outlook. Good choice if keen to go out drinking on a weekend in Yangshuo!
