5-Star Hotels in Yangshuo

First, let's talk about the location: The hotel is right next to Gongnong Bridge, in Zhuduzhai, very easy to find. There are many dining options nearby, and it's convenient to go cycling in the Ten-Mile Gallery. Next, the hotel facilities: The room is very large and spacious, and the layout design is also very reasonable. I particularly liked that the bathroom mirror faces away from the bed. What deserves the most praise is that the air conditioner makes almost no noise when the fan speed is turned down. This is super friendly for someone like me who is very sensitive to noise (I've stayed in many guesthouses and star-rated hotels, and none could completely eliminate AC noise). The bedding is also quite comfortable, the mattress has a medium firmness, and the two pillows each have their advantages. I stayed for three nights, and as someone with back and neck problems who loves quiet and a good sleeping environment, I had several nights of good sleep. Finally, let's talk about the service: After booking, a butler proactively contacted me, sending the location and asking for my arrival time. Upon arrival, they sent me travel guides and in-house activity programs. It's safe to say they anticipated everything I thought of and even things I hadn't. A big thumbs up here! The in-house activities included a travel photoshoot. The photographer was excellent; I had taken many photos with my selfie stick at the same background and scene the day before without any good results, but his photos were superb. Another big shout-out to the photographer. Today, when we checked out, the front desk staff even gave us a souvenir. How thoughtful!

Found a hidden gem of a resort by the Yulong River in Guilin Yangshuo! Nestled by the mountains and river, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the beautiful scenery. The rooms are spotless, and come fully equipped with high-end amenities like Dyson products and premium toiletries, making for an incredibly comfortable stay. The friendly deer in the private pasture are adorable and perfect for photos. The housekeepers are attentive and reliable, always ready to assist with any request. The breakfast includes freshly made rice noodles and noodles, and the sweet white fungus soup served in the evenings is wonderfully comforting. The resort is conveniently located near the Ji Ma Bamboo Raft Pier, making sightseeing a breeze. It's a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. Both the service and facilities are impeccable, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Yulong River.

I stayed at 3 different hotels during my trip to Guilin/Yangshuo, this is definitely my favourite.  The resort is small but located right next to the riverside, amazing views.  The room is well designed, clean, modern, comfortable. It has everything you needed from basic amenities to different drinks, essentials like mosquito spray, rain coat to even face mask, etc.  Staffs were very friendly. Food was simple but flavourful.  Next time I would definitely stay there for extra night just to enjoy the comfort of the room

If you are looking for the perfect hotel in Yangshuo, look no further, because you found it. At first I believed that all the hype was just that, but experiencing this hotel is literally a painting coming to life. The service staff is beyond attentive and looking out for your well-being. Bella was our host and, together with her colleagues, was always just a WeChat window away for any request. We needed an iron and it was brought to the room within five minutes. We missed the included afternoon tea the first night, so they put some dessert to the side and brought it, as well as a sweet little Chinese soup, to our room. This is really next-level service I have not witnessed before. Our room was in building 8, which is like a five-minute walk, if you take your time walking. However, they offer to drive you from one building to another in a golf cart whenever you need. You just need to give a short heads-up. The room was simply stunning. We didn’t use the bathtub in the room since we had a wonderful pool right there in building 8. Breakfast was served at building 2, where you can gaze at the wonderful Yangshuo (20-RMB bank note view) karst mountains while munching down on your Western or Eastern-style breakfast. I opted for the freshly made beef noodle soup because, of course! Included in the price is a 30-minute photo shoot with a professional photographer, also from the hotel, who also offers you the chance to put on costumes in the studio, if you want. The photos can be taken in building 2 or 8. We wanted to have them taken in building 2, since the garden offers so many cool and interesting settings. Even a Tolkien-style hobbit house or stairs to heaven. The kicker is that you get them dropped right onto your phone. No waiting needed! Also, if you need to wash your clothes, they have several modern washing machines and dryers on the second floor of building 8 at no extra charge. They even provide detergent, etc. We only stayed two nights, but we look forward to coming back again. Next time I will try not to forget anything in the room, but even for the item I forgot, they generously offered to send it to the next hotel we stayed at in Shenzhen. ”No problem at all,” they said. We were in awe.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tui Blue. It’s out of the hustle and bustle of West street, but only a 12yen didi there. The views are stunning, including of the romance park across the street. Front desk staff were so kind. Breakfast every morning had both Chinese and western options, including fresh noodles being made to order. This hotel takes great pride in their cleanliness and design. Room was amazing. Great views. Great air conditioning. Very comfortable bed. Great water pressure from the shower. Free mini fridge for the first round of drinks, and tea and coffee in the room. Our few things where we would recommend improvements to the hotel: - There was no working AC in the gym. - Gym should have some lighter weights too. - Gym needs a mirror. - Pool towels should be available by the pool. (Unsure if they normally are.. we went out in the rain so possibly during sun they have these readily available). - some small things need to be maintained. (Gym wall leak with mold present, painting around windows peeling off, outdoor plant maintenance, pool tidy of chairs and ensure pool inflatables are actually blown up.These small things aren’t really noticed by everybody, however as a travel agent myself it is what sets luxury hotels apart from others). Overall a really great stay. Would definitely stay again.

This hotel is perfect for family trips and just chilling out – the experience was fantastic! The hotel environment far exceeded our expectations, tucked away in the mountains. Every photo we took felt like a professional shot. There's an infinity pool, forest hot springs, and so many scenic spots on the hillside, we couldn't stop taking pictures all day. The room was spacious and clean, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The staff were very friendly and responsive. The breakfast was delicious, and during leisure time, we could enjoy tea and mountain views, far from the crowds. It's a top choice for a relaxing getaway with friends. Highly recommended!

The room was clean and odor-free, with excellent soundproofing and comfortable bedding. The service was enthusiastic, and it offered great value for money. Hygiene was impeccable, and the facilities were complete. The environment was beautiful with good natural light. It's suitable for family trips and highly recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This hotel is truly the best choice you could possibly make. It was exceptional in every aspect: the views from the rooms are breathtaking, the rooms and the entire hotel are spotlessly clean, the facilities are complete and of a very high standard, the staff are warm and professional, and the breakfast is better than you could ask for. Whatever questions or requests we had, they helped us kindly and promptly, without any delay. The hotel's photography team also works at the highest possible level — they captured wonderful memories for us. A special thank you goes to Ms. Ellis, the hotel's English interpreter — she is truly amazing and assisted us throughout our entire stay. If I travel back to Yangshuo, I will definitely choose this hotel again. I highly recommend experiencing a stay here — you won't regret it! I absolutely love the beauty of nature! Hidden among the mountains, opening the window reveals a picturesque landscape—serene and healing. I also experienced the hotel's travel photography sessions: the rooftop Sky Mirror and swimming pool are perfect for photos. The photographer was great at finding angles, making it easy to capture a bunch of beautiful shots. Staying comfortably made the photography experience enjoyable too!

We stayed at this hotel from August 12–17, 2026. It was the best hotel of our entire trip. 1. Location: The hotel is a 30‑minute walk from West Street. However, from 3:30 PM to 11:30 PM, a free shuttle bus runs between the hotel and West Street in both directions – very convenient! The area around the hotel isn't very touristy – there aren't many cafés or shops nearby, so for everything we had to go to West Street. 2. Hotel grounds: The crown jewel of the hotel is certainly its huge swimming pool surrounded by mountains. We had an absolutely unforgettable time swimming in the pool with that view. Unlike most Chinese hotels, the pool is deep (up to 1.7 m) and very large – even with many guests around, nobody got in anyone's way, and we could swim freely. A small downside is that there aren't many chairs or benches around the pool to put your things on, but we always found a spot. Besides the pool, the grounds include a lake (unfortunately the fountains weren't working), a tennis court, and a small walking area with swings. As a suggestion to the hotel: we missed evening lighting. It would be wonderful if the trees, the lake, or the mountains were illuminated, so that after sunset we could take an evening stroll. 3. Service: Deserves the highest praise! The day before our arrival, the manager contacted me on WeChat. When booking the room, I had left a request for a quiet room with a nice view. Since we had a room for three people, all such rooms faced the street and had no balcony. The manager took my request into account and gave us a free upgrade to a room with a balcony (with a stunning mountain view) and added a third bed. The manager, Xiuxiu, is absolutely incredible – she made our stay truly comfortable and took care of us throughout our entire visit. First, she spoke excellent English. Second, she was always available on WeChat and answered all our questions. Third, when we were checking out, my mum left her pendant in the pocket of the bathrobe and was very upset. I wrote to the hotel on WeChat asking them to look for it. Not only was the pendant found, but they also arranged express delivery to my Chinese friend on the very same day. That is professionalism at its best – thank you! Other requests during our stay were also handled promptly, such as changing the bathrobes to ones we preferred or bringing a third set of tableware. We also bought tickets for the Impression Liu Sanjie show at the reception. It was very convenient and cheaper than buying through the show's official WeChat account. The hotel offers many amenities: water, juice, and candies in the lobby, plenty of lounge areas, a shop, a free laundry room, and a gym. Breakfast at the hotel was very convenient. For European tastes, it wasn't extremely varied, but there was enough to choose from. It would be great if the café remained open during the day as well (for an extra charge). 4. Room: As I mentioned, we were upgraded to a room with a balcony. It was very quiet and the view was breathtaking. The room itself was large, with big, comfortable beds. There was a split‑system air conditioner (not a standard wall unit), but it was surprisingly tricky to adjust despite its seemingly simple controls – sometimes it would cool the room too much, and sometimes even when set to 23°C, the temperature would keep rising to 26°C, and so on. A slight inconvenience: the shower is right in the room (as in many Chinese hotels), and there's nowhere to hang a towel without it getting wet. But this wasn't a major issue. The room was cleaned daily: fresh water, tea bags, various kinds of coffee, towel changes, floor mopping! Upon check‑in, we were also greeted with a welcome fruit platter and even some instant noodles (which came in very handy after our journey). The room had a refrigerator and even a dish steriliser. It was quiet inside – we couldn't hear the neighbours, and there was no smell of cigarette smoke.

Finally, I got to stay in my dream river-view room in Yangshuo! 🏨 This 270° river-view room with a balcony bathtub is picture-perfect; every shot looks like a masterpiece, offering exclusive romantic views of the Li River. The location is a huge plus, making getting around super easy! It's a 5-minute walk to Guanlian Pier and just 10 minutes to Yangshuo West Street. It's also convenient to rent electric scooters nearby, and for those driving, there's a free parking lot and charging stations. The massive balcony directly faces the Li River, offering panoramic views of the mountains and water, creating an instant luxurious ambiance. The hotel boasts a popular infinity pool and a 'Sky Mirror' that's great for photos, plus a fully equipped gym and a children's play area, making it suitable for both couples and families. The breakfast and dinner experience was excellent. There's a rich selection of both Chinese and Western breakfast options, and upon check-in, we received a complimentary exquisite double welcome afternoon tea, which was both beautiful and delicious. 📍 Shixi Tianyue Riverview Hotel (Yangshuo West Street Li River Branch)
