Yangshuo Mountain Retreat-by Yulong River

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.

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.

The hotel's location is quite exceptional (opposite the Yulong River), and the tastefully appointed indoor and outdoor lounges make for a very relaxing stay. The rooms are comfortable and pleasant, without being overly luxurious. A very good option for Yangshuo.

Amazing stay at this resort!! Highly recommended! Feels totally well taken care of by staff, who are friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Restaurant food was reasonably priced compared to outside venue. Love it even more that the hotel advocate sustainability by reducing single use plastics! Easy to commute from hotel to tourists spot via DiDi. Communication with resort can be easily done via WeChat if needed. All credit to the front desk ladies for their patience, good-nature and friendly reminders! During one of our evening excursion to watch the acclaimed Liu San Jie show, one of the ladies voluntarily gave us blankets to take along, highlighting that we will need it. And true enough, while other audiences either suffer the cold or had to rent additional clothing from street vendors outside the venue, we felt blessed wrapped up in a blanket. Thank you for the wonderful stay! Will choose this venue again when I next visit Yangshuo.

We loved our stay at Yangshuo Mountain retreat. It is one of the prettiest hotels situated right on the side of Yulong river. The hotel gardens are beautiful too. We stayed in a river view room with balcony and it was completely worth it. Room prices were very reasonable too. We spent a lot of time chilling in the balcony, admiring the scenery and sipping tea. There is a nice walking and biking track right outside the hotel which goes on for several kilometers along the river. The hotel also provides bikes for free which we used during the day to explore the track and returned in the evening. Overall, we had a great experience and rate this hotel 5/5

Now in 2023 I returned to Yangshuo Mountain Retreat, first visited in 2017. It is found at an idyllic spot on the Yulong River and is my favourite of the five hotels I have stayed at in the Guilin-Yangshuo area. It is more of a lodge. A day spent sitting at a garden table combined with a short Riverside walk brought me back after 6 years. The location I wold include as an amenity! All staff speak English well, several remaining at the hotel over the years. It was nice to7 be able to reminisce with the staff met previously,, including Michelle who doubles up as a tour guide.

Excellent place and stay at Yangshuo. Highly recommended

Great hotel in many ways. Dehumidifier provided. Nice furniture. Breakfast is by the river. Chinese breakfast was better. Juice is fresh. Great view . Best hotel in Yangshuo. We rented bikes and it was delivered. We had fun . I would recommend and stay here. Garden area is great for children. I will try room with balcony next time.
