Yangshuo Mountain Retreat-by Yulong River

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.

The location is enchanting, with a well kept garden with fantastic view of the mountains and the river. The room was spacious and clean, but needed maintenance (the walls needed painting, the drain was clogged). They provide free bikes. Food at the restaurant was good. Overall we recommend this hotel for the location and the views

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.

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
