Pros:

Absolutely wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, making this one of the best experiences we have had while travelling in China. The service was outstanding, the best hotel we have stayed at in terms of hospitality.

The hotel was very clean, located in a beautiful area with amazing views, and offered many great food options. A special mention to the staff again: everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommended

Personale Poco attento
Pros:

Vista spettacolare e le stanze sono magnifiche

Cons:

Corridoio con moquette sporca e piena di insetti morti . Purtroppo abbiamo avuto problemi con la colazione , in quanto la ragazza ha dei modi poco gentili nello spiegare il menù e non sono elastici mentalmente per poter venire incontro a dei clienti . Poi capiscono l errore e cercano fintamente di chiederti scusa . A cena hanno provato a rifilarci un pollo già cotto … comunque chi dice che il cibo è squisito , probabilmente non ha mai mangiato in posti migliori .

A great place to relax
Pros:

Away from hustle and bustle of downtown Yangshuo this place offers tranquil relaxation and breaths views of surrounding mountains and river. The staff is really sweet and helpful. They go an extra mile to pamper every guest and they do it with a smile and great English. It was a pleasure to stay here and it was a pity I only had two nights.

Cons:

Not a thing.

Magical views in the edge of town makes for a memorable stay.
Pros:

Stunning location and a walk into the bustle of town (about 12 to 15 minutes following the river: flat and easy to follow). So, you are not in the heart of the city, but that's a good thing. A little distance means it's quiet with such extraordinary views. Lovely front-of-house staff with delicious ginger tea on arrival. We ate in the dining room on our first night and I thought the food was just excellent: Chinese but catering for the western palette. Comfy beds too. The facilities looked really good as well. It was a smidge cool and so we could not use the pool, but it looked amazing. What a retreat on a hot day. Solid breakfast too.

Cons:

We chose the budget twin room and it was good, though unlike so many other rooms, it didn't truly have a view of the river as we had hoped. It kind of had glimpses from our bathroom. Our 'deck' are was a tad narrow and when we arrived it wasn't really set up for 2 people to sit on it and enjoy. That noted, when we asked for extra outdoor furniture, it arrived in a speedy fashion. I would recommend that it is worth asking for a room that has a clear view of the river valley as it is such a magnificent vista.

Clean and comfortable stay!
Pros:

Fantastic view over the Li River. Breakfast is t included in the room but the food options aplenty and all tasted good!

Cons:

There’s a slope up to the main entrance and the taxis will drop you at the foot of the slope so you’ll have to walk your way up.

This hotel is a gem..the best stay in China
Pros:

The best accommodation in China!

We felt welcome from the first moment and the super nice attitude and all personnel kind and ready to help with everything really make our stay unique and memorable!

The hotel is a gem - you feel like in a nature surrounded by the mountains and the river with beautiful views. Amazingly quite and peaceful. While still very near to Yangshuo city - easy 20-25min walking or a few min by ebike or didi (never used at the end.

Rooms are spacious and you feel and enjoy the quality of materials, including very large and comfy bed. Also the sitting inside is very nice.

Breakfast is al carte; delicious and a plenty of choices..

The outdoor pool, a new gym with views all around to the nature and sitting outside.

Restaurant is very nice, reasonably priced and also good coctails:)

Thank you again for everything!

Cons:

Nothing. The gym with views is awesome - maybe to consider one or two universal machines for basics (bench, ropes)..and heavier weights.

Very good hotel (but with a few issues to fine tune)
Pros:

Beautiful view from the balcony on the karsts and the river nearby.
Relaxed atmosphere and ability to eat al fresco in tranquility (a big cry from the noise and hassle of Yangshou eating places).
Chinese and international menu in the restaurant (including for breakfast).
Good size swimming pool and the gym.

Cons:

When booking, I asked for the room at the higher floor of the hotel but this request was not granted.
The water pressure in the shower is pretty poor. It takes time and effort to wash.
There are only a few sun beds around the pool, not enough for many guests the hotel has. The gym has a number of good exercise machines but lacks a simple bench.

Tres beau séjour au Li River Resort
Pros:

Le personnel est très gentil et tres serviable. Ils sont toujours aux petits soins avec nous et nous ont aidé pour les réservations de toutes nos activités
Les petits déjeuners sont tres bons.
Les chambres et les lits sont tres confortables.
L'emplacement au calme est parfait.

Cons:

Juste une petite remarque : j'avais réservé 3 chambres avec "mountain view" et en fait aucune des 3 n'avait une vraie "mountain view": la chambre familiale donne sur la rivière (ce qui est très beau) mais ne donne pas sur la montagne, et les 2 chambres doubles au rez de chaussée n'avaient pas non plus de vue montagne. Donc un peu déçu pour ça

Pros:

A localização mesmo em cima do rio, afastado da confusão da cidade, a simpatia dos funcionários e o estilo oriental requintado do hotel

Cons:

Muita pena que alguns clientes chineses, apesar dos vários avisos espalhados no hotel, fumem nos quartos o que deixa um cheio desagradável nos correscdores e falem alto nas varandas.
