- the personnel is very friendly and helpful, and there is always someone around who knows good English. When we were leaving, they actually gave a small neat gift for our son, that he very much likes; - you can arrange several activities there, from kayaking to rock climbing. You can also rent good quality bikes and electric scooters for a good price. We did both. You can bike a truly beautiful bike/foot path which follows the Yulong river, with locations to swim and to take a little trip on a bamboo raft. The bike ride is probably the best activity in the area, and one of the better in China; - the room was clean and spacious, with a great bathroom and shower, and good beds with mosquito nets (which actually didnt seem necessary, but watch out for the bugs in the outside space). The 2 person bed of the original room booking.com suggested for us was too small for us and our very tall 8 year old son, but the personnel immediately arranged a fitting room with two beds for us for a small surcharge; - the swimming pool made the deal for us, in particular because we were staying over in the furnace-like summer. The swimming pool is just big enough to really enjoy the swimming, and especially our son spent a lot of time there; - we consider the location as excellent, because it is really a bit out of busy Yangshuo (which is fun, but you go to a place like this for the natural beauty), and close enough to get there by cab or bike/scooter (app. 10 minutes). It is nice and quiet there, which is quite difficult to find in overcrowded China. It's also very near the aforementioned bike path and a bamboo raft harbour, and relatively near (by bike/scooter) other top locations such as Moon hill and the Gold cave; - the property of the hotel, which is housed in an old Chinese family house, has been very well renovated by the original Dutch owners, that regretfully have leaft.

- someone thought it was a good idea to build a 15 meter high hotel directly next to the swimming pool. That was a regretful choice. But it's not near the rest of the hotel, doesn't disturb the view of the nearby mountains and provides some necessary extra shadow when you take a dip, so we didn't mind it. - the state of the property is still quite good, but will soon need some maintenance. Also the pool could be somewhat cleaner.

Friendly and traditional chinese authentic

Maybe a bit too many bugs

Charming property! In a quiet location that is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas. The menu offered a nice variety and the food was excellent. The staff really went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. They arranged scooters for our use and a driver to take us back to Guilin. They made sure our granddaughters (3&4) were taken care of too. The amount of activities they offer is impressive! Unfortunately, our stay was short so we were not able to take advantage of the wide range of activities... I wish we had more time to partake in the offerings.

We enjoyed everything!!

Excellent service. Comfortable beds. Good food. Good environment.

Charming hotel located in a small village at 10min taxi from Yangshuo city center. Quiet and beautiful place. Some stuff would need a bit refurbishment or maintenance but overall, the room is clean and nice. Food at the hotel is excellent and staff is very nice.

Area around the pool would need renovation.

A very comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and very helpful in every way. A nice convenient location.

The service from all the staff from Alice to Helen to all the waiters at the restaurant was cheerful, helpful and wonderful. The place had a great vibe and look, with history that belongs in the location. Food at the restaurant had good mix of western and Chinese -- all were delicious.

Not their fault but construction next door was an eyesore in an otherwise serene pool area.

We've tried to stay here for years but Covid has always prevented this. The location is very beautiful and the rooms are quaint. Alice is amazing, she is a fantastic person and helps wherever possible. You can hire mopeds or she can arrange taxis, anything you need. The rest of the staff there were great as well, the pool was small but nice after a day in the heat.

Nothing.
