Find 5-Star Hotels in Yangshuo

I was incredibly satisfied with the ground-floor room that came with a courtyard. You can walk right out onto the lawn and by the pool, and the view of the mountains is absolutely stunning and so relaxing. The rooftop is also great for photos! The restaurant food was good too. A special shout-out to Shishi, one of the staff members – she was absolutely wonderful and provided high-quality service. She helped us upgrade to a triple room with a tatami and a courtyard, and even assisted us with booking at their other property, the Lijiang Courtyard (we were so happy with this stay that we decided to continue with their brand in Guilin). Many thanks!

Out of the three boutique guesthouses I stayed at in Yangshuo, this one was by far the best. The environment, service, views, and comfort were all impeccable. The aesthetic appeal is evident in every corner of the guesthouse. It's a shame I only stayed here on my last night; if I had booked it for my first night, I definitely would have extended my stay for three days. You can truly feel that this is a guesthouse dedicated to providing excellent service and caring for its guests' experience. First off, the location is fantastic, very close to the Yulong River bamboo rafts and the Ten-Mile Gallery. The beds here are incredibly comfortable; I slept wonderfully. There's a bathtub (and it fills up super fast!), and the butler brought me rose petals for a relaxing soak. All the toiletries are L'Occitane, and the guesthouse features smart home technology. Even the hairdryer is a Dyson, and the overall hygiene is excellent. The butler service is incredibly responsive; they get back to you quickly on WeChat. It's the kind of service I appreciate – available when you need it, but not overly intrusive or overwhelming. The afternoon tea, welcome fruit, minibar, late-night snack, and breakfast were all very generous. The complimentary late-night snack was the most thoughtful I've ever received at any guesthouse. The overall environment is incredibly photogenic, with a swimming pool and a stunning rooftop floating pavilion (a must-visit for sisters who love taking photos – remember to book a time with the butler in advance!). There's also a pasture with complimentary deer feeding; the sika deer make for beautiful photos, and there's a white horse too. There are so many more details I can't even list them all. I highly, highly recommend this place! If they open another guesthouse elsewhere, I'd definitely stay again (though currently, this is their only location).

Service: I communicated with the hotel in advance that my partner and I would be staying, and we were pleasantly surprised to find our room simply decorated with a complimentary small cake! All hotel services are handled via a WeChat group. Upon check-in, they send breakfast and drink menus. The butler was very responsive to messages in the WeChat group, but the complimentary bicycle rental was never mentioned. Dining: Breakfast is à la carte, and the presentation is exquisite. However, the taste was just so-so. The beef brisket noodle soup had very hard noodles, and the Spanish omelet was quite greasy. The biggest issue was that some breakfast dishes took an excessively long time to be served. The afternoon tea offers some paid snacks that tasted good. We also set aside one evening to dine at the hotel. The crispy farm duck and stir-fried cured meat with fresh bamboo shoots were delicious, but I wouldn't recommend the black pepper short ribs! The late-night snack also included two soups (one sweet, one savory) and a fruit platter. Cleanliness: On our first night, while getting ready, we found a long hair that didn't belong to us on the showerhead. For a hotel in this price range, that's really unacceptable, and I hope they pay more attention to this in the future!

Choosing Jiuyang Hotel for my Yangshuo trip was an absolute delight! Tucked away amidst the mountains and rivers, it offers a peaceful and elegant environment, far from the hustle and bustle of West Street. The overall design is simple yet sophisticated, blending perfectly with the surrounding karst peaks – every photo taken here is picture-perfect. The room was spacious and tidy, with soft and comfortable bedding. The view from the balcony was fantastic; sitting there, you could admire the continuous mountain scenery, creating a wonderful ambiance. The butler service was attentive and prompt, handling every detail flawlessly. The breakfast spread was extensive, and the freshly cooked Guilin rice noodles were authentic and made with fresh ingredients. Staying here was so relaxing and pleasant, allowing me to slowly soak in the natural beauty. It's a highly recommended hotel for anyone vacationing in Yangshuo.

This is hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed at in terms of service. Every single staff member was incredibly friendly. The stunning views and excellent service more than made up for any shortcomings. The hotel's location is generally a bit out of the way; you pretty much need a taxi to get anywhere else. Deliveries can't come directly to the hotel, but you can ask a staff member to take you on their mini-tricycle to pick up your packages. Food delivery is available, and there's a nearby BBQ place that does delicious takeout. The breakfast was a bit limited, but the rice noodles were fantastic. One morning, we woke up late and thought we'd missed breakfast. A restaurant staff member actually went to the front desk to check on us, worried that we hadn't eaten. Overall, the stay was an absolutely wonderful experience. It's perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the scenery. I hope the surrounding services and facilities can improve in the future.

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.

An absolutely amazing hotel! Before I went, I saw the opening year and was worried the hotel might be too old, since I usually only stay in luxury hotels that opened within the last four or five years. I even called the hotel to confirm. They said it opened in 2019. I really wanted to visit Guilin but couldn't find any suitable hotels, so I booked this one. The actual stay far exceeded my expectations! Each room is a villa with a large private pool. Getting around is easy with electric buggies that are available on call and arrive super fast! The service is excellent! Breakfast was also incredible! It's à la carte, just like the resort experience we had in the Maldives! And everything tasted great! Fresh ingredients, and the chicken was so tender! The hotel villas are surrounded by lush greenery, with stunning reflections of the mountains and water – absolutely beautiful! Riding in the electric buggy, with picturesque views and a cool breeze, I even felt like my skin improved and I looked prettier, haha! There were also many young, handsome male staff members, and their service attitude was exceptionally good!!! Everything was perfect!!! No exaggeration, my first trip to Guilin over ten years ago with a tour group and a bunch of older ladies left a terrible impression. This trip completely changed my perception of Guilin! This hotel deserves a lot of credit for that!!! It's a hotel my family of three would definitely visit again!

Poised in mountains and waters, nestled in clouds – an exceptional stay at Jiyun Shangyuan Resort Hotel by the Yulong River. First things first: More than just accommodation, it's a destination. Yangshuo boasts countless hotels, but Jiyun Shangyuan is an utterly underrated 'heavenly guesthouse'. This stay offered a complete cure for the senses – visual, taste, and soul. It’s truly a perfect hotel with no flaws! Reason for a perfect score one: Divine views that 'frame' the karst landscape into your room. The hotel is located in the heart of the Ten-Mile Gallery, far from the hustle and bustle of West Street, enjoying its own tranquil space. Our room featured a floor-to-ceiling glass window spanning an entire wall. Honestly, photos don't capture even a tenth of its beauty! The misty green hills of the Yulong River unfold before you like a dynamic IMAX movie. It truly lives up to 'open the window to a view, sleep under the moon, and wake with the sunrise'. Lying in bed gazing at the mountains and waters, or watching stars from the balcony bathtub – this ultimate sense of relaxation is something no other scenic spot along the Li River can offer. Reason for a perfect score two: Heartfelt service that treats guests like 'family'. The service here could easily be a textbook example for the industry. If 10 is a perfect score, I'd give it 100 points. From the butler's proactive contact after booking to the warm reception upon arrival, the entire process was smiling and efficient. When the Li River was flooding, the butler constantly reminded us to be safe. When our child wanted local fruit, the butler thoughtfully provided some. After playing in the water, our clothes got wet, and there's a self-service laundry room. We even forgot our clothes in the laundry, and the butler kindly delivered them to our room. This feeling of 'everything is handled, every need is met' is truly more touching than the standardized service of a five-star hotel. Reason for a perfect score three: Culinary delights and high-end amenities. Regarding dining, the Chinese breakfast offered authentic Guilin rice noodles, while the Western breakfast perfectly blended with Lipu taro and pumpkin. The afternoon tea was exquisite, and the coffee at Cloud Restaurant was top-notch, with the Basque cheesecake being unforgettable. The lighting in the restaurant also helps for great photos. In terms of amenities, the hotel spared no expense: King Koil mattresses, Kohler sanitary ware, Dyson hairdryers, and even a thoughtful self-service laundry room. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, showing attention to detail. It offers the warmth of a guesthouse while maintaining five-star hotel hardware standards. Reason for a perfect score four: Immersive local cultural experiences. This place isn't just selling scenery; it's dedicated to sharing culture. The hotel is filled with Zhuang elements. Beyond beautiful decor, you can also enjoy free photo shoots in traditional Zhuang attire. Against the backdrop of the infinity pool and the mountains, every shot looks like a magazine cover. Furthermore, activities like hand-sewing embroidered balls and making oil tea kept both adults and children engaged. Families with kids don't need to worry about boredom, as the children's playground and pool are enough to tire out the little 'beasts'. Final thoughts: We'll be back. Our stay happened during heavy rain, but after the rain cleared, the scenery was even more beautiful. Regardless of the weather, Jiyun possesses a different charm. We even felt a little reluctant to leave. Just like its name suggests, there's an ethereal, otherworldly quality here, yet it's filled with the warmth of home. If you come to Yangshuo, you must 'waste' your time at Jiyun Shangyuan. Tips: · We recommend booking a panoramic room type or a family room for the best views. · Definitely try the hotel's electric bicycle rental; the Ten-Mile Gallery is right at the doorstep. · The hotel is very close to the Yulong River rafting (Shuidi section), within walking distance, which is very convenient.

Stepping out onto the balcony, we were greeted by breathtaking karst ink-wash mountain views. The Impression Suite was spacious and comfortable, perfect for a family with kids – no cramped feeling at all. The hotel seamlessly blends Northern Guangxi charm into every detail. The butler service was incredibly warm and prompt. And the clouds encircling the mountains? Absolutely stunning, takes your breath away! Our whole family completely relaxed. This is definitely a perfect choice for a family vacation in Yangshuo!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tui Blue. It’s out of the hustle and bustle of West street, but only a 12yen didi there. The views are stunning, including of the romance park across the street. Front desk staff were so kind. Breakfast every morning had both Chinese and western options, including fresh noodles being made to order. This hotel takes great pride in their cleanliness and design. Room was amazing. Great views. Great air conditioning. Very comfortable bed. Great water pressure from the shower. Free mini fridge for the first round of drinks, and tea and coffee in the room. Our few things where we would recommend improvements to the hotel: - There was no working AC in the gym. - Gym should have some lighter weights too. - Gym needs a mirror. - Pool towels should be available by the pool. (Unsure if they normally are.. we went out in the rain so possibly during sun they have these readily available). - some small things need to be maintained. (Gym wall leak with mold present, painting around windows peeling off, outdoor plant maintenance, pool tidy of chairs and ensure pool inflatables are actually blown up.These small things aren’t really noticed by everybody, however as a travel agent myself it is what sets luxury hotels apart from others). Overall a really great stay. Would definitely stay again.
