Très beau séjour
Pros:

Difficile de faire mieux pour notre première nuit en Chine. Sijie, par messages, a répondu en anglais à toutes nos questions avant et pendant notre séjour. Ses réponses étaient rapides et très claires. Cela nous a permis d'arriver plus sereinement.
Les transferts/transports que nous avons demandés sur place étaient à des prix tout à fait compétitifs. La personne à l'accueil le matin nous a fait des suggestions d'activités qui nous ont beaucoup plu. Ce monsieur nous a réservé des tickets, s'est débrouillé pour nous trouver des vélos à louer, nous a préparé des petits déjeuners simples, mais diversifiés et m'a trouvé pour le lendemain matin une masseuse très professionnelle pour un massage tête/nuque.
La chambre était grande, avec 2 climatisations distinctes pour chaque espace, et très agréable. Nous avions vue sur les montagnes malgré le fait que nous n'étions pas à un étage très élevé. Tout était propre, les matelas confortables: un peu plus dur pour le lit double, mais cela me convenait.
L'établissement est proche de la rivière : il est donc facile de se retrouver sur des chemins sans voiture. Des restaurants se situent à proximité.
On recommande vivement, surtout pour tous les efforts réalisés pour répondre à nos demandes.

Cons:

La seule chose qui m'a fait mettre 9 et non 10 comme note est la légère odeur de cigarette dans la chambre. J'y suis très sensible. Mais cela allait une fois la climatisation enclenchée.

Wonderful place to stay outside Yangshuo. Do not miss the light show!
Pros:

Wonderful “homestyle” inn. Loved the big, spacious room and wood furniture. Loved the little restaurant down the street, where we had delicious -cooked-to-order soup at dinner and traditional Chinese breakfast with fried dough sticks dipped in rice milk.

Cons:

Everything was wonderful but the sweet gentleman at the hotel spoke no English so if we hadn’t had a guide, logistics wiuld have been difficult.

Ideal location, stunning views, immaculate rooms, and welcoming staff — an ideal choice for an authentic Yang Shuo exper
Pros:

Had an absolutely delightful experience at Xiao Long River Hotel. The location couldn't be better, just a stone's throw away from the Yu Long River. Opting to stay here, rather than in the town center, was a fantastic choice. It afforded us the ideal chance to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking nature of Yang Shuo and gain insights into the tranquil and laid-back lifestyle of the locals. The rooftop view is nothing short of spectacular, and the rooms are impeccably clean and cozy. Moreover, the staff members are incredibly friendly and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone looking to stay in Yang Shuo.

An excellent place outside of Yangshuo that we highly recommend.
Pros:

The hotel is very sweet and the rooms are comfortable. The location is very near the river, and it is easy to rent a bicycle, scooter, or set up a rafting ride. Si Jie was very nice and helped us with everything we needed. Thank you!

Def worth going. It's not that expensive and you can travel to all the scenic areas from this hotel.
Pros:

Staff was amazing!!!! Esp Xiao Wei. She provided so much support and was so kind to me and to others (esp the foreigners). Doing a solo trip in a country where you can't communicate is hard, but they were sooo helpful. Def recommend going there

Cons:

There could have been more variety for breakfast.

Just the absolute undisputed highlight of our 3 weeks in China. Stay 4 days min and explore on the mopeds. It’s a dream!
Pros:

OMG the location was perfection. Why go to Yangshuo and stay in the city centre? You need to be here on the edge of the river and rice fields in the satellite village close to Yangshuo! It’s an absolute fairytale place! You won’t want to leave! Super value too!! Clean confortable.

Cons:

Wifi a little à weak on the top floor.

I don't usually do reviews but this was exceptional. I'll be back!
Pros:

Everything!
1. The check in was smooth. I was lost, the owner speaks English. She got the assistant to come find me in the main road and took me back to the place.
2. The place is modern and clean. Has the most stunning view. Very close to the fields.
3. Big room for super cheap. Best value for money I've gotten for a room in China.
4. You can rent a scooter around the corner.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was nice.
