Hotels in Darongshu/Shilihualang Scenic Area, Yangshuo

Staying at Liangsu Hotel was one of the most magical parts of our journey through China. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking design, the serene natural surroundings, and the peaceful ambiance that made it feel like a slice of paradise. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were two incredible team members: Lynn and Rong. Lynn greeted us with the warmest smile and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. Every recommendation she gave — from bike trails to hidden cafes — was spot on and made our experience even richer. Rong was equally amazing — thoughtful, kind, and always ready to help with the sweetest energy. You could feel they both genuinely cared. Liangsu isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. It’s the kind of place you never want to leave, and these two beautiful souls are a big reason why. We’re so grateful and already dreaming of coming back.

The hotel was conveniently located near the Romance show, West food street, and River within 10 min taxi ride. There are 3 small pools and 1 with kids slide. The family room where we stayed has a small slide and plush toys to help entertain small children. The breakfast has small options but sufficient. The Guilin rice noodles are delicious at breakfast. You can rent family scooters at the hotel for 50yuan an hour which was super fun as we rode to the river side. The Chinese restaurant right outside the hotel is also very delicious. The only downside is hotel staff are not fluent in English.

We had a great stay because of the location we didn't trust much about this hotel before we entered, but surprisingly, the room was very clean, the staff was good and helpful. It was a bit noisy not from the street, but from the neighbors, we traveled during the May holiday, which is a very crowded time. In general, it is a good hotel, very close to the West Street and also surrounded by lots of restaurants.

The hotel is surrounded by nature, a little secluded and far off from the main streets. However, e-hailing taxi / Didi are very accessible and convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly and attentive but language barrier may be a challenge if you do not speak Chinese. Best to communicate via WeChat / translation app. The hotel consist of several buildings, with building 3 and 4 being the newest. Restaurant is located in building 1 which you will need to walk over the lawn, slight inconvenient if it’s raining. We had our meals at the hotel a couple of times and the food was good - only Chinese cuisine was served. Breakfast was decent. What we love was that there are several activities throughout the day organised by the hotel to keep the little ones occupied. And there are different play area in each building. If you are looking for peaceful serene stay that is also family friendly, this is the perfect place. Overall, would recommend this place to friends and family.

Very nice hotel with a modern but minimalist style. Good location with a wonderful view on the mountains, close to the river and one of the main roads. Service was excellent and the employees were considerate and nice, and tended to any needs we had. Breakfast has not a lot of choices, but the quality and simplicity makes up for it. The photo shooting they offer was an interesting activity. The photographer and the team were patient and took the time to make this an enjoyable and fun experience. The pictures came out very well.

The hotel is strategically located on the Yulong River, with beautiful views. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers from the room. The room I stayed in was relatively small. There was no coffee table or stool in the room, so I could only sit on the bed. The bathtub on the balcony was just a decoration. It was hot and sunny during the day, and I could be seen by tourists on bamboo rafts and tourists downstairs in the hotel. There were too many mosquitoes and insects at night, so I couldn't take a bath at all. The breakfast was small, but the afternoon tea was very good. The waffles and chocolate cakes were delicious. The selling point is the view. The decoration of the hotel room is very average, simple style, and the experience is average

An extremely nice experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas and in an area with an amazing view within walking distance to the end of the bamboo rafting area too - so you can do that and finish up near your hotel 5-7 mins walk from your hotel!) The staff gave a very personal service. They were extremely polite and kind helping us book tickets for shows and trails. They also speak English well and if some staff don’t then they still do their best to help with translation via WeChat. They were very patient and kind. A special mention to If you think our service is satisfactory, Xiao Xiao and Yan Zi who were great amongst all the other staff! The room was very spacious and had a spectacular view. The amenities were great, the toothbrushes and other products like a comb and shaving kits were good quality and refilled everyday! The slippers were also very useful and good quality! If you just go for the view it will take your breath away but the breakfast (served in the fancy looking Cloud coffee shop) was also very nice and the room and staff were definitely a great added bonus!

Location is great and the room was spacious. Even though the west market was just downstairs and the room was still quiet. The breakfast was just normal. The hotel staff at the reception can speak English so it certainly help for English speaking visitors Cons : The breakfast area needs to be cooler - seems air cond was not turned on

Unforgettable Stay at 聚龙小镇 I recently had the pleasure of staying at 聚龙小镇, and it was everything I hoped for and more! From the moment I arrived, the beautiful surroundings and luxurious ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The resort is located in a stunning area, surrounded by mountains. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and it truly felt like a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. My room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and offered a fantastic view of the mountains. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved the hot tub. One of the highlights of my stay was the wide range of activities and amenities available. There is free photography offered and everyday high tea and supper, there was always something to do. Dining at 聚龙小镇was also exceptional. The on-site restaurants offered a variety of delicious options. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure dinner was a memorable experience. I particularly enjoyed the fish and chicken. What truly made this stay special, however, was the exceptional service. Every staff member went out of their way to ensure that my needs were met and that I felt pampered throughout my visit. From the concierge who helped me plan excursions to the housekeeping team who kept my room spotless, the level of service was top-notch. Overall, my stay at 聚龙小镇exceeded all expectations, and I can’t wait to return. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, adventure, or simply a luxurious getaway, this resort offers it all. Highly recommend!

The service was fantastic! Our host was attentive, helpful, and informative. She provided us with everything we needed and answered all of our questions. The location is perfect if you want to be out of the main town and the views are beautiful. Close to most but not all attractions and bikes can be rented for cheap.
