Yangshuo Mountain River Ballad Hotel

Beautfull location
Very friendly stafg

I can’t explain how amazing this place is. Do not hesitate to book. It was fantastic. The staff are amazing and the location is breathtaking. We spent 16 days in China and this was our favourite place.

Dette hotellet sprenger poengskalaen og burde hatt 11 poeng ut av 10 mulige.
Hvorfor? En utrolig serviceinnstilt betjening som ønsker å kunne møte kundenes individuelle ønsker.
Fantastisk utsikt og beliggenhet. Flott rom, veldig gode fellesareal, velsmakende mat, gode turmuligheter, borte fra byens larm og støy.

The owner is an absolute gem. She gives you the kind of personalised local experience you dream of on a trip like this. Sharing her local knowledge about the region and driving us to locations where we wanted to go hiking. Feeding us fresh pomelo and homemade yoghurt. What a lovely experience we had staying here. The walks around the hotel are lovely. Highly recommend.

It is not possible to have a better location then this. Easy access to everything. The staff worked so hard to help organise experiences and were definitely the reason our trip was such a great success.

The location is very nice, in front of the river and between the mountains, in a quiet village, next to Xinping. Very picturesque indeed. The service is very personal. The owner is always present and tries to please the guests. Actually she drove us herself to a spot to watch the sunset.

Stunning small hotel in amazing location with friendly staff. Really wonderful.

This is a lovely quiet hotel set on a spur off the Li river, away from the crowds of Xingping (let alone the gridlocked streets of Yangshuo). It’s surrounded by the river, the peaks, and fruit farms

The interior has beautiful rooms, some eye catching Chinese modern art, and a spectacular array of geological displays

The roof terrace is spectacular and is a good setting for drinks, as well as the lovely restaurant

The food was great - for both breakfast and dinner

There’s an outdoor pool for cooling off

You can borrow their bikes and cycle round the farms along the river

Most memorable though was the very proactive and flexible help that the owner Joan and her staff gave us in getting around and seeing lovely things: hill climbing, tea plantation and the Liu Sanjie show in town. Special thanks to Nicole, Joan’s Worldpackers volunteer, who helped us so much. Everyone really wanted us to max our trip!

We need to come back! And do more hiking, calligraphy and watercolours!

Super Nice staff….日本語もできます。
Suite was super comfortable.

Gorgeous scenery from the room and rooftop with kind and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms with modern technology. Amazing Chinese breakfast and free transfer to the train station in Yangshuo and the pier to catch the ferry to Ancient city of Xingping.

We were lucky enough to spend a few days at this small, family-run hotel right by the river – and it was simply perfect!

The rooms are spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The food was an absolute highlight: authentic, fresh, and perfectly seasoned.

What truly made our stay unforgettable was the hostess and her team – so warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Whether we needed advice on day trips, help organizing transportation, or just had little requests, we were met with incredible support.

The location right on the river is stunning and offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities in the breathtaking karst mountains around Yangshuo.

We’ve stayed at many excellent hotels across China, but this one stands out by far. If you’re looking for a special, personal, and truly memorable place to stay, this is it.

Highly recommended – we will definitely be back!

Un ringraziamento speciale a Xiao che ci ha accompagnato alla scoperta delle montagne attorno alla struttura, ai ragazzi del ristorante e a tutto lo staff che si è preoccupato per noi e ci ha coccolato tutto il tempo del nostro soggiorno. Luogo magico che ti lascia senza fiato, hotel stupendo, camere spaziose, pulite, dotate di ogni comfort. Chiunque fosse interessato a vedere le famose montagne ritratte nelle banconote da 20 yuan dovrebbe scegliere questo hotel, davvero eccezionale.

Clean, comfortable and in the very beautiful place which is¹ approximately 30-40min.from Yangshuo and 1.5 hours from Guilin. Taxi is not that expensive.
If you coming here for the nature that is your spot. Tranquility and the beauty of the nature are out of this world, birds singing whole day long and the staff will do everything to make you feel comfortable. Hiking and plenty of activities are available. The girl at the reception is very nice and helpful.

The breakfast was just OK. Nothing special compared to other places

Great location, very helpful staff. Comfortable rooms. Great views, especially from the roof top. Nice places to walk around from the hotel.

This was a lovely surprise. It is on the quiet side of the river, meaning you have a 5 minute ferry and a buggy cart ride to get to/from the hotel, but what a blessing that is.

The hotel is lovely and clean and the staff are outstanding, so helpful, full of advice, and constant care. We went caving with the owner, we did hikes, we rode horses, we went to local shows, and spa making for an amazing three night say.

I might suggest checking if the pool is open which it was not, but other than that the staff really make this hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean, modern touches and a touch of cute. Would definitely recommend this hotel for ones that want to visit the area but seek to be just slightly out of the crowds of Guilin and Yangshuo yet still have full access.

Nice hotel in beautiful surroundings. The rooms have a lounge seating area for tea. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Room was beautifully designed and classy.
Service was amazing.
Staff were attentive, personable, warm and genuine.
Breakfast was tasty and there was variety

Felt like family. Awesome staff.
