Beautiful private antique mansion with fantastic panoramic views on Yulong river from each window. Quite nice sleeping there. They also provide free bicycles to cycle to 10 Landscapes route and I ordered Taiji class for 150 rmb from their catalog, really liked it , Louisa great teacher. Hotel’s restaurant is featured in chinese recommendations app Dianping, have essential dishes if the area and one western cuisine menu. The last but not the least , reception speak perfect English, although most of travellers are trying to use our especially for that learned basic chinese. So reception is great at recommending what to do around.

Great terrasse, one of the best of our stay. At some point we experienced real congestion getting in and out but we loved how lovely and serene the view was waking up from our balcony. Undeniably the view was the star of our stay.

Great location, friendly staff, great food.  Rooms could do with a little refresh but you quickly forget when you contemplate the mountains.
Response from Property: Dear guest,Greetings! Yangshuo Mountain Retreat is borned for the mountains and waters, built for poetry. Your mention of “Great location, friendly staff, great food” is a huge affirmation. When choosing the location, we longed for every traveler coming to Yangshuo to see the ink - painting - like scenery right after opening the window. When training staff, we hope their sincere smiles add a touch of home warmth. When polishing the cuisine, we want to convey the freshness of Yangshuo in the fireworks through local ingredients.You said “Rooms could do with a little refresh”. We know there's still room for improvement on the path to perfection. Actually, we've quietly planned to do so this winter, with a design more in tune with the artistic conception of mountains and waters and more comfortable textures, to live up to every expectation.And the moment you forgot trivialities while “contemplating the mountains” is what we cherish most. In today's material - rich era, Yangshuo's mountains and waters are the nourishment that nature gives to the soul. We always believe that a good hotel is not just a place to rest, but a ferry connecting mountains, waters and the soul. May every time you look back on Yangshuo, you remember not only the scenery, but also the moments of meeting mountains, waters and warmth at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat.Looking forward to our next reunion. By then, the new - faced guest rooms will have bloomed, and the mountains and waters will still be full of sentiment. We hope to embark on another journey of nature and poetry with you.Best regards,Yangshuo Mountain Retreat family

Our family and friends came from Australia to visit us while we are living in China and we went on holiday together to Guangxi province. We had heard about this hotel from other expats, but it was even better than I imagined. I can’t believe it took me nearly 4 years to get here. I hope I get to visit again before we leave. This hotel is perfection - lovely staff, beautiful views, great location, delicious food at restaurant. And all really well priced. Highly highly recommend.

I would recommend this hotel to any foreigners who are not too good at speaking Chinese. Most of the staff speak English very fluently. They taught us tourist information such as where to visit with one and half-year-old baby. The view of the Yulong River rafting from our room balcony was spectacular. The location was good. Easy to access Yulong river rafting spot. The hotel restaurant has Chinese food and Western food, which we enjoy a lot. My husband said their sweet sour pork was one of the best. He sometimes had two sweet sour pork a day. They put mosquito cents on at night so we didn't get any mosquito bites. We would like to visit again if we have a chance.

Beautiful location and spacious bedrooms. The staff was nice. The restaurant is very basic for Christmas’ Eve and more vegan options would have been nice especially for breakfast!

The location is enchanting, with a well kept garden with fantastic view of the mountains and the river. The room was spacious and clean, but needed maintenance (the walls needed painting, the drain was clogged). They provide free bikes. Food at the restaurant was good. Overall we recommend this hotel for the location and the views

We had an amazing stay at Yangshou Mountain Resort, the staff was friendly, welcoming and spoke perfect English. The view from the room is breathtaking. The beds are comfortable and everything is spotless. We rented the bikes (it is free) for one day and cycled along the river visiting the famous bridges and marvelling at the countryside. They also have a restaurant serving delicious meals. We couldn't have wished for a better and more relaxing experience.
