5-Star Hotels in Yangshuo

Staying at the Xi Shi Jin She Hotel was an incredibly healing experience amidst the beautiful landscapes of Yangshuo. The hotel is located right by the Yulong River, and with the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, you're greeted by stunning karst peaks, with bamboo rafts slowly gliding by on the river – it feels like living inside a traditional Chinese ink painting. The room was clean and tidy, the toiletries were of excellent quality, and the facilities were exquisite and comprehensive. The butler service was attentive and thoughtful, and the authentic Guilin rice noodles for breakfast were fresh and delicious. The rooftop infinity pool offered amazing photo opportunities. It's also super convenient for visiting the Ten-Mile Gallery. This is definitely my top choice for a stay in Yangshuo, a perfect experience!

Found a hidden gem of a resort by the Yulong River in Guilin Yangshuo! Nestled by the mountains and river, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the beautiful scenery. The rooms are spotless, and come fully equipped with high-end amenities like Dyson products and premium toiletries, making for an incredibly comfortable stay. The friendly deer in the private pasture are adorable and perfect for photos. The housekeepers are attentive and reliable, always ready to assist with any request. The breakfast includes freshly made rice noodles and noodles, and the sweet white fungus soup served in the evenings is wonderfully comforting. The resort is conveniently located near the Ji Ma Bamboo Raft Pier, making sightseeing a breeze. It's a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. Both the service and facilities are impeccable, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Yulong River.

Tongxiang doesn't just feel like a luxurious hotel; it's a place that thoroughly draws you in, allowing you to immerse yourself in a tranquil and private atmosphere. Whether you're in your room or the restaurant, you're greeted by a picturesque, ink-wash landscape painting of Yangshuo and the Zen-like serenity of emerald bamboo groves. The service is incredibly comfortable and thoughtful; they always check with me about my preferences and plans, whether it's for room cleaning or an evening snack. It would be absolutely perfect if they could improve their mosquito control efforts. Breakfast is à la carte, and every dish is beautifully presented and tastes delicious. After checking out, they didn't push for a five-star review; instead, they simply asked for any feedback on areas for improvement, showing a guest-first attitude that makes Tongxiang my top choice for future visits to Yangshuo.

Our stay with the kids was fantastic! They had so much fun they didn't want to leave. The hotel has a dedicated kids' club where they can play to their heart's content. The afternoon tea and breakfast provided were both exquisite! (Great presentation too, haha!) In the lobby, you can enjoy oil tea, sew embroidered balls, and try on Zhuang ethnic costumes for free photos. It's very suitable for families with children. The overall environment is comfortable, and the service is thoughtful and attentive. Highly recommend for family trips!

The floor-to-ceiling window in the room offered an absolutely stunning view. Opening the window revealed the green mountains and the Yulong River, making for incredible photos. I specifically chose this hotel for the window view and the swimming pool, and my child absolutely loved it upon arrival. **Environment:** A thousand square meters of lawn plus an infinity pool. The mountain-and-water themed blue pool was perfect for amazing pictures. **Activities:** Free-roaming deer, daily cormorant fishing performances, lacquer fan making, and petting zoo feeding. **Food & Stay:** With its own restaurant, we spent the whole day at the hotel and didn't bother eating out. The hotel food was also excellent, and they even offered free sweet soup in the evening. It was a welcome escape from the noise of crowded guesthouses. The hotel buildings were well-equipped, and the soft furnishings, with their wooden and Instagrammable style, were top-notch. There was no need to rush. We spent the whole day leisurely, relaxing on the lawn, playing in the pool, and feeding the deer. It felt like many hotels and cafes in Yangshuo have great aesthetics, and the scenery is beautiful, but the street aesthetics are truly dismal. This was my child's first travel photoshoot. Usually, they refuse to be photographed, but the Miao ethnic costumes for the photoshoot at the hotel were beautiful and relatively clean, so we were able to get some great shots right there. Thumbs up! The shoot was quick, which was great since it was hot, allowing us to quickly get our photos and head back to the hotel for coffee.

We brought our kids to Yangshuo for a holiday, and the window view at this hotel completely cured my soul! The massive floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view, letting you take in the karst peaks and green rice paddies right from your bed. Clouds drift around the mountaintops, and the landscape unfolds like a moving traditional Chinese painting, bringing you up close and personal with nature – the ambiance is absolutely incredible 🌿. The 'Sky Mirror' on the rooftop is a must-visit spot. The reflection of the unique peaks, blue sky, and white clouds in the mirror makes for stunning, 'healing' photos every time. Downstairs, there's an outdoor pool and a fun kids' playground, keeping the little ones happy splashing around all day long. The dining experience was incredibly thoughtful. They offer a rich buffet breakfast, exquisite afternoon tea, and even comforting late-night noodles. It's a one-stop solution for food and accommodation when traveling with kids.

This Dragon Boat Festival, I took my child to stay at the Wapan Yinshe Hotel. It was raining a bit when we first arrived in Yangshuo, and I was worried that bad weather would spoil our fun, but this hotel gave us a huge surprise! As soon as we entered, there were charming streams and bridges, with many beautiful koi swimming around. The front desk lady even gave my child fish food to feed them, which made my kid incredibly happy. The hotel's children's facilities were also excellent; while my child played in the ball pit, I relaxed on the nearby sofa. When it wasn't raining, my child had a blast on the slide at the mushroom house, and I enjoyed coffee under the canopy. For the Dragon Boat Festival, the hotel also offered a zongzi-making experience. After we made them, the hotel cooked them for us to enjoy. Eating the zongzi we made ourselves felt so special. Usually, taking my child on trips leaves me exhausted, but this time, I truly felt relaxed and refreshed! 😎

🏔️😱 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!

The hot spring pools on the mountainside, coupled with the distant green peaks, are absolutely stunning. The rooftop infinity pool and Moon Mountain create a picturesque scene. The 270-degree panoramic mountain and water views are incredible! Plus, there's a free shuttle service to the pier for bamboo rafting, which was a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back! The hotel also offered a complimentary travel photography session, and the service was excellent, producing some truly beautiful photos. Ten out of ten!

This resort hotel I stayed at during my trip has an excellent environment. The outdoor pool is divided into children's and adult sections, making water activities very comfortable. The location is also central yet quiet, and the rooms have balconies with mountain views. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to West Street in the afternoon, which is a thoughtful touch. The breakfast spread is rich, with a good variety of fruits, salads, and milk. All rooms are modern in style. There's also a laundry room with dryers and charging stations in the parking lot. The facilities are quite comprehensive, making it a worthwhile stay.
