Vale solo per la posizione ma la struttura é decisamente scadente
Pros:

La posizione e lo spazio esterno

Cons:

La camera era vecchia, mal tenuta e poco pulita.
Il condizionatore si é rotto e ha iniziato a far cadere acqua sui vestiti che erano proprio sotto, lo hanno riparato ma non é stato affatto piacevole.
La camera non permetteva di chiudere le finestre facendo quindi entrare la luce al mattino presto che ci ha svegliati.
Si sentiva ogni rumore proveniente dalla camera accanto, per fortuna avevamo i tappi per le orecchie con noi.
Il bagno é separato visivamente solo con una vecchia tenda, cosa decisamente poco igienica.
Il prezzo della camera e della colazione non é assolutamente giustificato.

سوف أكررها بلا شك.
Pros:

أهلاً. الإقامة كانت رائعة، وصادفت أجواء جميلة. الموقع جميل للغاية - ويبعد عن وسط المدينة ربما 15-20 دقيقة بالسكوتر.
أعجبتني الإقامة للغاية وربما أكررها. أعتقد أن الإفطار يحتاج تطوير قليلاً - لم يعجبني.

The perfect end to our China trip 🇨🇳
Pros:

We spent 5 nights at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat at the end of our trip through China, after Chengdu, Chongqing and Zhangjiajie, and it was honestly the highlight of our journey.

The setting is simply breathtaking, with incredible mountain views and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. We stayed in one of the bungalows and felt at home from the very first moment.

The breakfasts and the dinners are absolutely delicious and the prices are reasonable for the quality.

We also loved the activities offered by the hotel: the “massages”, the “Chinese cooking class” and renting a “motorbike” to explore the area and visit Fully Bridge and Yulong river. They are a wonderful way to experience Yangshuo beyond the usual tourist spots.

But the real magic is the team. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful, and a very special mention to Ana, our “Super Ana” 🦸‍♀️, who was an absolute angel and made us feel so well looked after throughout our stay.

Cons:

If we had to mention one thing, it would be a swimming pool, especially after a day exploring in the heat! But honestly, this is only a tiny detail.

Emplacement exceptionnel
Pros:

Un hôtel romantique et apaisant, niché dans un cadre absolument spectaculaire et presque irréel. Tout est idyllique : la chambre, les services, le cadre et surtout un personnel d’une délicatesse et d’une attention exceptionnelles, qui fait tout pour rendre votre séjour parfait. Un véritable havre de paix au cœur de paysages éblouissants, avec une multitude de découvertes à faire autour, des paysages de Yangshuo au magnifique spectacle sur la rivière.

Vistas incríveis. Simplesmente fantástico.
Pros:

O hotel tem uma excelente localização. Com uma vista linda para o rio Yulong. Ao redor podemos andar a pé ou de bicicleta pelas margens do rio. De uma beleza incrível. As funcionárias falam inglês e estão sempre dispostas a ajudar. O restaurante é muito bom. Gostamos de tudo e tivemos pena de não ter ficado mais uma noite.

Magic place
Pros:

This hotel was magic for the position, the decoration in the rooms, the balcony looking over the river. Moreover the restaurant is very clean and efficient and offers some western cuisine options and the chinese cuisine is delicious. I definitely would come back at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat!

A real joy, a great place
Pros:

For us, after a few weeks in cheaper hotels in city centres, this felt like a little paradise. Fond memories. The quiet breakfasts in the garden, with the river flowing by and the view of the Guilin Karst mountains. The very comfy rooms with all the facilities we needed (even a small fridge), the free use of bicycles to make a tour along the river. The friendly staff, the good food. Granted, this was definitely more expensive than the other hotels we stayed at in China, but we felt it was worth it. Recommended, would go there again.

REPETIRÍA!!
Pros:

Hotel con encanto, precioso. Muy bien ubicado al lado del río. Trato del personal de 10/10, muy atentos y preocupados por hacernos entender en inglés. Habitación limpia, camas cómodas. La comida estaba MUY BUENA, mejor que en los restaurantes de la zona. Bicis gratis y te ayudan a alquilar motos y excursiones. Hotel ideal para relajarte y disfrutar de esa maravillosa zona.
