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.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

The hotel has a nice view.It is an old building and needs renovation. The food average, not great.
Pros:

The view from the hotel is beautiful and the location is great, one can easily walk along the river

Cons:

The hotel needs an update. It is an old building, but it seems like there is little investment in renovating the hotel. The breakfast was not good at all. They offer this omelette, such a simple dish and it is not good. The grass in front of the hotel should be maintained better.

Pros:

Яншо-моя любовь!!! А этот отель её укрепил и дополнил. Я считаю, что лучшего вида, чем этом отеле на прекрасные горы и реку, быть не может. Тут, конечно, нет оленя , панорамных номеров на 270°, видового бассейна... но живая, настоящая природа намного лучше предметов, созданных человеком. Персоналу отдельное спасибо за помощь во всех возникающих вопросах! Кстати, еда очень вкусная, можно вообще не выходить из отеля, а дышать горами и рекой! До Западной улицы можно доехать очень быстро и не дорого, но этот город про покой и тишину и отель это предоставляет.

Pros:

Das Hotel und die Lage sind grandios. Schöner geht es nicht.
Am meisten hat uns das Essen gefallen. Wir reisen viel und haben noch nie so unglaublich gut gegessen. Ob Shrimps oder Kartoffeln einfach nur unglaublich lecker! Großes Kompliment.

Cons:

Leider war der Wäscheservice nicht ganz überzeugend. Und der "Pool" total schön gelegen aber leider zu viele Blätter drin. Da ihn wahrscheinlich kaum jemandnutzt war ernicht geputzt. Das ist aber auch das Einzige. Der Rest war perfekt.

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!

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!
