Yangshuo City has become a big tourist hub (mainly Chinese tourists). The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat is a short taxi (electric scooter ride) to Yangshuo and the surrounding attractions, but sits on a quiet bend of the picturesque Yulong river (almost rivals the Li River Karst tower area in beauty and is a lot less busy). During the day a number of the bamboo rafts with one of two folks floating down the river go by. A night their grass riverfront restaurant is bucolic.
The staff speak good English and seem especially understanding of Western tourists. I would definitely stay here again.

Nostagic stay in Yangshuo Guilin
I find the hotel location excellent and the view from our hotel rooms were stunning. (Especially on 1st floor) However, I happened to visit in a slow season in the midst of the hotel's renovation and there were some disturbances. The hotel did told us ahead of time and I accepted the inperfection.
Furnitures in the rooms are mostly antique furnitures which bring us back to a nostagic Guilin days. If that serves your desire, this is the right hotel for you.
They serve excellent local food and even western breakfast and meals in their restaurant. Weather was excellent and we enjoyed the outdoor scenery while having our meals. The stay at the hotel enhances the whole trip for sure. Thanks to the dedicated staffs at the hotel.

Beautiful resort, great scenery, can see Yulong river right from window.
There are free bicycles for hotel guests and we ride along the river walkway.
Interior of room is clean while a bit old.
Great stay

Everything about the property felt authentic, in keeping with the environment and local culture.
This is one of my all time favorite hotels ever!! The location is on the river and they have lounge furniture to sit out and enjoy the view. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and speak English so communication is easy. They have a list of activities and will help get a driver to anything you want to do. I am looking forward to the next time I get to visit there.

Lovely service, amazing views! Stayed here on a recommendation from a friend. The hotel is about 15 min from the center of town but is quite convenient to order a DiDi or have the hotel assist in transport. Lots to see in the immediate area, Moon hill, etc.

Relaxing and beautiful and clena
This is a beautiful hotel with beautiful rooms and views. It was by far the most relaxing part of our trip to China. We loved it. The bikes were fun. The list of outdoor activities were so helpful as were the staff. The hotel was very clean and the view unbeatable. We road our bikes to other parts of Yangshuo and no hotel could beat this. Plus they have amazing tea. The beds were so nice. The only think that would be better would be to have their shuttle run more frequently. Otherwise, perfect.

Amazing setting of hotel right on the river with amazing view. All the women working at the hotel were extra attentive and polite and arranged for us river cruise tickets and taxi transfers and saved us when we got too far away in country site and was about to get dark. They also spoke very good english especially Kate and Anne. The food was also very good and fresh. Definetly going back.

If you are wanting peace and tranquility then this is the one. It has the wow factor, directly on the river bank with the Karsts as the backdrop and very secluded.

Der grösste Pluspunkt ist definitiv die direkte Lage am Yulong Fluss. Das Hotel verleiht kostenlos Fahrräder und man sollte undbedingt in dieser traumhaft schönen Landschaft entlang des Flusses eine Radtour unternehmen.
Das Zimmer war grosszügig, das Bett sehr bequem. Platz im Badezimmer rund um das Waschbecken äusserst begrenzt. Das Licht im Badezimmer nicht ausreichend.
Sehr gutes Frühstück.

The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat surpassed my expectations. The staff were very attentive and very fluent in English. The location is so serene. It’s second to none. The food was top notch. Great selections, very tasty and very reasonable.
Lots of international guests. Many returning 2-4 times.
It deserves at “10”.

Gorgeous view & friendly reception staff
Hotel with amazing Yulong river view. Enjoy breakfast overlooking people doing their bamboo rafting. Reception staff are very friendly and speaks good English, Michelle suggested good day trips. Kate helped us to sort out the motorbike rental trouble. Free bike for us to cycle along the trail to other docks (highly recommend). Since the hotel is located in a restricted area, transportation to Yangshuo West street need to be arranged thru the reception. Hotel restaurant provided nice Chinese dishes (e.g. snail & small shrimp dishes are so nice). Western style food is also nice especially the desert. We are glad we booked this hotel. Consider coming back again to explore more Yangshuo.

Exceptional place to stay!! Highly recommended.
Staying at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat was the highlight of our trip to China. We were warmly welcomed by the staff upon arrival and they were keen to assist with our many questions about the area.
The room was comfortable and very clean and tidy. The river views from our room and private balcony were sensational and the in room massage service was very relaxing.
The huge range of food catered for both local and western cuisines and was delicious. We recommend eating at the in house restaurant for any meal of the day. It is both affordable and tasty.
On a night in, we ate dinner by candle light on the peaceful banks of the river. The meal and the view made it a night to remember and the service was exceptional.
The free bicycle hire was very handy as it allowed us easy access to the river trails and the town. The staff spoke very good English and were able to recommend trips and tips to us. They also organised a very professional driver to take us to the Longji rice terraces and drop us to our next hotel at the end of our stay.
Yangshuo is a town with lots to offer and undeniable beauty. The night markets in particular are amazing. It should be an unmissable addition to your itinerary and a stay at the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat would be highly advisable. We will certainly be back on our next trip to China!!

Like a dream
I had some wonderful days staying at this gem in Yangshuo. In my opinion to stay here is the only real alternative if traveling to Yangshuo, as the rest of the region is more or less ruined by mass tourism. For me it was actually a question of paying a little extra to stay here or not to travel to Yangshuo at all. I am so thankful that I chose the first option as it turned out to be the highlight of my 2 weeks traveling in China. Eventhough it’s only a 15 minute drive to the city centre of Yangshuo (which really was a dump), it feels as a lightyear away. Here you are surrounded by farmland and slow life, without tacky tourist things. Last but not least, the landscape is surreal. Dreamlike karst mountains in all directions. I loved to sit at my balcony with a magnificent view of the river and the mountains. The rest of the time I spent bicycling alongside the river and to some old villages. About the hotel: It’s eco friendly and urges to sustainability. The American owner happened to be visiting during my stay. He was friendly and seemed sensible. He cares about the hotel’s impact on the environment and about his employees, who are people from local villages. They were friendly and professional. My room was lovely and I didn’t miss anything. Not all rooms have balconies, but, depending on the weather, you can always enjoy the view from the garden. The vegetarian food was surprisingly boring. E.g. plain vegetables or noodles without anything(!) I was chronically hungry..!

A perfect location
Probably the hotel with the most beautiful natural surroundings that I have seen (and I have travelled quite a lot). The staff were very friendly and did their best to make us feel at home.

Serene with excellent English speaking staff
Lovely scenic hotel located approx five km from city overlooking river and hills. Free shuttle bus three times per day into city and free bikes to ride around stunning countryside. Restaurant meals delicious with good prices. Staff speak English and very friendly and helpful. Can’t rate them highly enough. Like a bit happy family. Photo is a view from our hotel room.

Staff exceptional. Amazing views
Staff are exceptional. They are always smiling and welcoming. All speak English and very helpful. The hotel approx 5km from Yangshuo town overlooks the stunning river and hills. The complimentary hotel vehicle goes into town three times per day or there are free bicycles with plenty of places to visit. Food is very good and reasonably priced. A lovely relaxing place to stay. Highly recommended if you want away from the hustle of the city.
