Categories

Cleanliness
9.6
Cleanliness is praised across reviews (e.g., 'salle de bain impeccable', 'impeccable'); no notable cleanliness complaints.
Service
9.9
Repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and accommodating—staff cooked take-away breakfast, guided on tours and were 'so polite, kind and welcoming.' High score reflects consistently excellent service.
Location
10
Location is consistently lauded as exceptional — riverside, serene, magical views, great for walks/hiking and watching bamboo rafts; many call it the highlight.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms are generally lovely with large balconies and comfortable baths, but there are notable detractors: at least one guest found the 'rear view' room misleading (balcony surrounded by walkways) and another mentioned the bed could be better, so a modest deduction is applied.
Amenities
9.6
Property amenities are well-regarded — bicycles for guests, an open lawn by the river, and easy access to trails; amenities support a relaxed, exploratory stay.
Value for Money
9.9
Multiple guests note excellent value (one reviewer contrasted price favorably with Europe and placed it in their top 5), supporting a near-top score for value.
Food and Beverage
9.7
Restaurant and food receive strong praise ('food was great', 'restaurant was top notch', 'Essen war gut'), warranting a high rating.
Overall Experience
9.3
Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive ('wonderful', 'paradise', 'highly recommend') with a few minor negatives (room view/deceptive listing, occasional access/taxi confusion) slightly tempering a perfect score.

Posto magico lungo il fiume
Pros:

Hotel bellissimo immerso nella natura lungo il fiume, un posto magico! A soli 15 minuti di auto dal centro di yangshuo. Camera molto semplice, per questo voto 8, ma pulita. Abbiamo apprezzato tantissimo la lezione di cucina organizzata dall’hotel per una mattina di pioggia, da fare assolutamente!

Wonderful location right on the river with fabulous views of the karst formations.
The rooms are traditional and comfortable. The staff are lovely and the food is delicious.
Convenient location to visit the village and easy to hire bikes or scooters to explore.

Very pleasant stay, great location.
Pros:

Great hotel with a high level of service, in a magical setting. Our room, located on an upper floor, had a well-designed layout and a perfect terrace for enjoying the tranquility of the Yulong River at any time of the day. The hotel's location allows easy walks or bike rides, as well as pleasant bamboo raftings. We regret not having had the time to stay longer!

Great place to relax and enjoy the great views of nature
Pros:

Everything was great. The view of the karst mountains and river from the room was spectacular everyday. The staff was amazing and due to the hotel being a bit remote and the weather was ridiculously hot we ate a couple of times in the restaurant and the food was all good too. The extras available from the hotel, e.g. private driver to xianggongshan for sunrise or the cooking class were some of the highlights of our stay.

Cons:

Noise leaks across rooms due to the location being so remote, it's not such a big deal but if you have noisy neighbors it could get annoying.

Great location, room, staff, food and view. Faultless
Pros:

Superb. Great location to chill by the river and look at the view. Calm and relaxing and nice walks nearby. We hired a scooter to explore too. Big room and nice size balcony with comfortable seating. Staff all lovely and helpful and breakfast (although extra) was very good as was dinner. Loved it

Pros:

We love the location of the property which is right next to the river. We love that property has bicycles for their guests and that there is a paved land right by the river and away from the main road that you can use to explore other grounds and villages. The in house restaurant serves pretty good food too. The staff were helpful. Totally will come back!

Hiking trail with stunning view along Yulong river.
Pros:

Location is stunning next to the river and the hills. Hotel has an open lawn next to river to watch the passing bamboo rafts and have a coffee. The trail along Yuling river passes by hotel so you can walk 12km all the way to Yulong bridge, I absolutely lived it.

Cons:

Rear view room marketing materials were misleading, the image didn't show that balcony is surrounded from all sides by walkways and other rooms entrances. I would not take again this room, so I was disappointed. The other rooms with views are significantly better.

Getting to hotel was a hassle as it was not found at Didi, only another name Shangdi (?) was found instead.

Pros:

Un albergo stupendo! Un soggiorno magnifico.
Tutti parlano inglese perfetto. Le foto non rendono la giustizia. La stanza con 2 letti e un enorme balcone con la vista sul fiume dove passano le zattere. Veramente è un resort dove passare almeno una settimana. Ho visto tanti posti ma questo è diventato mio top 5.
Un posto cosi in Europa non potrei mai permettermi perché costerebbe con un zero in più .

Pros:

Exceptional location! Absolutely beautiful spot to chill by the riverside for drinks, dinner and breakfast.

Cons:

A slightly better bed would have be nice, but all the rest made up for this.
Since we only stayed one night, we managed alright.
