4-Star Hotels in Yangshuo

I visited Guilin and Liuzhou with a friend for five days, and this was by far the most comfortable hotel we stayed in. **Check-in:** Because I have trouble sleeping, I made a special request for a non-smoking, quiet room. The front desk confirmed my preferences, and I was lucky enough to get a room upgrade, haha! After check-in, they escorted us to our room, explaining everything, and proactively helped with our luggage. Every staff member we passed greeted us, and any requests for items were handled promptly. **Room:** The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The bed was super big; my friend immediately flopped onto it and rolled around as soon as we entered. The bedding was clean and comfortable, and the pillows came in both soft and firm options. There was also a firm throw pillow that came in handy when I was lying in bed choosing photos. Outside the window, a large banyan tree blocked most of the street, and the sunlight filtering through looked quite beautiful. The air conditioning allowed for adjustable fan speed, which was a blessing for a sound-sensitive person like me when set to the lowest speed at night. **Facilities:** There's a laundry room with a dryer, and the room even had a laundry hamper (very practical, many hotels only provide a laundry bag and don't consider this). The top floor has a swimming pool and the breakfast restaurant. We went to the pool around 9 PM when no one else was there and had some fun. It has shallow and deep sections, reaching about calf and thigh height, so it's not too deep. There were lounge chairs nearby, very chill. Breakfast was also very relaxed. Highly recommended!

I have traveled to more than 30 countries over the past 12 years, and this is the first time I have truly felt that I could call a hotel ”home”—even though so many hotels try to create that feeling. We live in France and flew to China for vacation, hoping to experience both the peaceful natural wonders and the lively local culture of Yangshuo. This hotel’s location is perfect! It sits directly in front of the Li River with an unobstructed view, yet it is just a short walk to West Street and the harbor. We could easily switch between a peaceful, relaxing session overlooking the river and an energetic exploration of the local crowds. Taking a warm bath while gazing at the river and mist-shrouded mountains—all while enjoying local tea and sweets—was an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is brand new, featuring excellent and spotless facilities, including a 24-hour free self-service laundry and a rooftop with stunning open views. The design beautifully blends modern style with local Chinese Zhuang culture. On top of that, the hotel offers free access to local ”Ta-Ying” activities, photo shoots in traditional minority costumes, and discounted tickets for popular local shows like Impression Liu Sanjie. Most importantly, the hospitality was extraordinary. The team treated us with immense care and kindness from the moment we arrived until well after we got back home to France! They used professional translation devices to ensure seamless communication. The hotel manager, Ms. Ni, along with front desk staff Ms. Deng and Ms. Li, not only responded attentively to every request throughout our stay, but also provided invaluable advice for exploring Yangshuo. We were even given a thoughtful gift set when checking out at 6:00 AM, followed by a warm message once we returned home. This level of hospitality truly deserves to be recognized and appreciated. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and hard work, and I wish the entire team and the hotel all the best!

I came here after seeing recommendations on Xiaohongshu, but I found the experience quite disjointed. Overall, I think it's only suitable for self-driving parties of two or more people looking for a vacation, and you can't expect high-quality service. **Cons:** My biggest issue was the deposit-for-good-review scheme (see screenshot). I understand that many hotels might have requirements for good reviews, and I'm happy to leave one if there's mutual goodwill. However, I've never encountered a situation where you're asked to pay a deposit first and then use a good review to get it back. This felt like a threat to guests, and it was quite distasteful. So, this time, I declined any 'benefits' from the hotel and chose to leave an honest review. (To clarify what she meant by deposit: since my booking didn't include breakfast, I was told it would be an extra 25 yuan per day, 50 yuan for two days. I booked a bathtub queen room for the first two nights and a tatami room for the last night. When I asked if I could avoid changing rooms, I was told it would require an additional 100 yuan deposit). Service was generally mediocre. The staff rarely smiled, offered perfunctory service, but lacked understanding or genuine support. Later, when I moved to a hotel on West Street, I felt much better instantly. (I did meet a front desk staff member who helped me with my luggage when I arrived, and I thank her for that, but otherwise, the service was truly average). The location is too remote. There are no dining options nearby; if you don't eat at the hotel, your only choices are a few farm-to-table restaurants nearby, which are double the price and offer average food. Getting a taxi takes a long time because there are no cars nearby, so I only recommend this place for self-drivers (or those who rent electric scooters). The nearby scenery is unremarkable. **Pros:** Hygiene was excellent. The cleaning auntie was the nicest staff member of all, and she was thorough and meticulous; it was genuinely clean. The decor was well thought out. You can tell the owner put a lot of effort into it, with the front hall restored to its old charm and the back meticulously maintained. Many details even had a touch of Zen. That's why I feel it's so disjointed and such a shame. It could have been a great hotel, but it left me with a very fragmented experience.

The location is superb, very close to West Street, making shopping, dining, and getting around incredibly convenient. The self-service washing machine is very practical, and the room is quiet and clean. The breakfast is also plentiful, and the service is excellent. Staying here made our trip worry-free and comfortable. My family was very satisfied, and we'll definitely stay here again next time.

A wonderful family hotel with spacious rooms, a pool and a very peaceful atmosphere. We stayed here as a family with children and really enjoyed our time. In Yangshuo, many hotels have beautiful mountain views, but this hotel stands out because it is not only scenic, but also very quiet, peaceful and comfortable inside. For us, this was a huge advantage. This is a warm family-style hotel where you feel that the owners truly care about every guest. The hostess was always nearby and personally paid attention to the quality of service. The staff were very friendly, polite and always ready to help. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was done on time, and everything felt well maintained. For this level of room, the price was very reasonable, which makes the hotel a very good value for money. Another big plus is the swimming pool. For a family trip, especially with children, having a pool at the hotel is a real advantage compared with many other hotels in the area. One of the nicest details was the afternoon tea with sweets — it made the stay feel even more welcoming and personal. The atmosphere of the hotel is calm and relaxing, which is exactly what you need in the mountains. The garden, the views, the fresh air and the peaceful environment helped us rest properly. The night before, we stayed in another hotel where it was noisy and uncomfortable because of construction nearby, so here we especially appreciated the silence, cleanliness and comfort. We finally had a proper rest. This hotel is a great choice for families, for people travelling with children, and for anyone who wants a quiet and cozy place surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. We left with very warm impressions and would be happy to come back again. Highly recommended. Прекрасный семейный отель с просторными номерами, бассейном и очень спокойной атмосферой Мы останавливались здесь семьёй с детьми, и нам всё очень понравилось. В Яншо, как мы поняли, у многих отелей есть красивые виды на горы, но большое преимущество именно этого отеля в том, что здесь не только красиво, но ещё и очень тихо, спокойно и комфортно внутри. Для нас это было огромным плюсом. Это уютный семейный отель, где чувствуется настоящая забота о гостях. Хозяйка всегда была рядом и лично контролировала качество обслуживания. Персонал очень доброжелательный, вежливый, всегда старался помочь и сделать проживание максимально комфортным. Номер был очень просторный, чистый и удобный. Уборка проводилась вовремя, всё было аккуратно и приятно. Для такого уровня номера цена, на наш взгляд, очень недорогая, поэтому соотношение цены и качества здесь отличное. Отдельный большой плюс — наличие бассейна. Для семейной поездки, особенно с детьми, это действительно важное преимущество по сравнению со многими другими отелями в этом районе. Также нам очень понравились приятные детали: послеобеденный чай со сладостями, зелёный двор, красивые виды, свежий воздух и общая спокойная атмосфера. В горах именно такой отдых особенно ценен — здесь можно по-настоящему расслабиться и восстановиться. Ночь до этого мы провели в другом отеле, где рядом шла стройка, было шумно и душно. Поэтому здесь мы особенно оценили тишину, чистоту и комфорт. Мы наконец-то хорошо отдохнули. Отель отлично подойдёт для семей с детьми и для тех, кто ищет не шумное место, а спокойный, уютный отдых среди красивой природы. У нас остались очень тёплые впечатления, с удовольствием вернулись бы снова. Очень рекомендуем.

Stayed in Yangshuo for two nights, and the B&B experience was quite good, offering excellent value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly and gentle. They responded quickly to any questions we had. The front desk lady had big, kind eyes and a soft voice, she was very cute! The hotel's breakfast was also good; you could even make special requests. For instance, my friend didn't want rice noodles, so they were happy to swap it for two sandwiches and two eggs. The staff's attitude was truly top-notch! 👍

I really have to commend Yangshuo Xingping Ancient Town Mo Chi Hotel. As the first stop of our trip, its location right at the entrance of the Li River scenic area is, needless to say, excellent. The hotel service is even more outstanding. We checked in at 6 PM and briefly discussed our 24-hour Xingping itinerary with the front desk. We then checked into our room, and the 'C位' (center stage) photo spot on the fourth-floor terrace for just 20 RMB was truly stunning. At 7 PM, the hotel helped us arrange a cormorant night fishing experience, which the kids absolutely loved. We brought our catch back to the hotel for dinner. We had pre-booked dinner with the hotel before arriving, so by 8:30 PM, we were enjoying hot, delicious, authentic local dishes. Everything was eaten clean, and it was very kid-friendly for those who can't eat spicy food. We then proceeded to book breakfast for the next day. During breakfast, the hotel helped us book electric bamboo raft tickets, and we also booked lunch. This way, whenever we returned from an excursion, it felt like coming home for a meal, saving us from having to blindly search for places to eat. The hotel staff's thoughtful and patient assistance made our 24-hour itinerary very comfortable. Thank you!

A truly healing hotel. The environment is absolutely stunning; open the window and you're greeted by picturesque mountains, rivers, and fields. The service is gentle and warm, making you feel very comfortable. I tried the head spa and Zen meditation, and the techniques were professional; I felt completely relaxed afterward. The breakfast is light and healthy, fitting the overall peaceful vibe. The only minor downside is its location within the scenic area, meaning you have to return a bit earlier in the evening, but this also contributes to the tranquility. Overall, I'm very satisfied and it's perfect for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Location: The hotel is super convenient, just a 150-meter walk to Shuiedi Pier if you turn left when you exit. Breakfast: It perfectly suited our Cantonese palate, similar to the rice noodles and Guilin rice noodles we have back home in Guangdong – absolutely delicious! Although the variety of fruits for breakfast wasn't extensive, they were all seasonal, which was great! The hotel boasts a new Chinese-style decor. The lobby on the first floor is incredibly spacious, with a dedicated tea area. To my surprise, you can even play Chinese chess there! There's also a mahjong room, haha. Next time I bring my mom, she won't even need to leave the hotel to play mahjong. The kids' play area is quite large too, so next time I can bring the little ones along and they won't have to stare at their phones. The front desk staff, both ladies and gentlemen, were incredibly helpful, and their local tips were genuinely practical. The lobby even provided some common feminine hygiene products like disposable wet wipes, makeup remover, and facial cleanser – these little details were so thoughtful!!!! I must highly recommend the food at the restaurant; it was absolutely delicious and the prices were very reasonable!

1. **Facilities & Hygiene:** The mattress was comfortable, the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and there was a high-quality bathtub. Upon entering the room, there was a fresh, pleasant aroma, and the cleanliness was impeccable. 2. **Location (Superb):** This hotel is right next to West Street and the Li River. You're just a few dozen meters from the pedestrian street, truly offering a 'quiet retreat in a bustling area.' It was completely peaceful. 3. **Views & Design:** The lobby has a very stylish design, perfect for photos. From the rooftop terrace, you can watch the sunrise and enjoy the scenery (it's supposedly the tallest building on West Street). 4. **Service & Experience:** The front desk staff, particularly the attendant/concierge, were incredibly friendly and helpful. They proactively shared detailed tips for dining, entertainment, and activities, and even assisted with arranging an electric scooter rental. The overall experience was excellent.
