Yangshuo Ancient Garden Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a gem of a hotel. Tucked away so you wouldn’t even know it was there. We arrived at night and it was beautifully lit and in a gorgeous setting. The staff are wonderful- friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The chef is great - highly recommend having dinner there. They also booked a tour and guide for us which was great. Everyone and everything is perfect."

Riverside Wing Hotel Guilin

8/10 Good
"Overall, a very good stay and good value for the money. The hotel is in a convenient location, the facilities were clean, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was good. A few minor negatives: the child bed was really just a mattress placed on the floor, and there was no proper table and chair in the room—only a child-sized seat. The hotel also advertised coffee in the lobby, but there was no actual coffee available, only premixed instant coffee/creamer/sugar sticks. Overall, though, we were happy with our stay and would consider staying here again."

10/10 Excellent
"The staff at this hotel were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. They have e-bikes which you can rent. One of the staff even came and found me when I got lost!! The property is about 7km from the town but very doable if you take the e-bikes and the hotel provides helmets. The pool is very instagrammable! The views were amazing. They also have local costumes available for dressing up in if that appeals. There are lots of high tech gizmos, including a Japanese style toilet, a movie screen that comes down from the roof and automated curtains. All can be controlled by voice commands (if you speak Chinese)! This was our favourite hotel and we’d love to go back."

"Li Resort was a welcome quiet respite near bustling Yangshuo. The friendly and accommodating full-service staff took care of all our logistics to/ from the train and the sites during our stay. They also made a good coffee! I truly enjoyed my morning yoga in the glass gym by the pool, looking out at the misty, karst geography. Our room was well-designed for families with kids.
