Wow. We are traveling around China and this hotel had to be one of the best so far. The location is amazing. It’s steps from the river and minutes to must see destinations. The hotel rooms were so beautiful we had a hard time deciding to leave our hotel or just look at sights from our window. The service was also top notch, we were shown to our room and was given a well versed set of destinations for our day. The restaurant at the top of the hotel also happens to be one of the best in the area. They even have a free photography session for you but you have to rsvp in advance which we missed but hope you see this review and book with them a day in advance!! Def stay here!

I am fully satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The location of this hotel is superb. It is next to food street and closed to tourist attractions. Room is clean with no smoking smell. Have laundry room including dryer that is free of charge. Staff gave us free breakfast buffet (probably because I was traveling with a disabled mom), which tastes great. There is a tourist counter at lobby where I bought my cruise trip to YangShuo. Price is reasonable. We receive free gift (key chain and towels) upon our check out. The only con is that their lobby is at lower level with stairs, which is not convenient for my mom who is on wheelchair to get to their lobby.

The hotel is extremely clean and has all the smart utilities in their rooms. It is situated in a quiet neighbourhood and the roof top viewing deck is perfectly situated to view the sunset. Staff are all very friendly and all the drinks, snacks and even clothes washing service is completely free which makes this a perfect final stop before your flight or train back home. The only downside is the breakfast service, theres plenty of food, but unfortunately it is not adequately staffed, so there were times where guests had to ask staff to clear the tables and situations where coffee and coffee cups ran out and guests had to get the staff to attend to. Other than this small improvement area i would say this was a excellent hotel and would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here for 1 night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was clean, big and spacious, and did not smell of smoke. It was quiet through the night. I loved the design of the hotel room, the light blue theme with the wood, and the tea set in the room was a nice addition. There are lots of lights to choose from in the room to create the perfect ambience. We had to leave the hotel at 7am so couldn’t enjoy the buffet breakfast, but the hotel kindly arranged a packed breakfast for us which consisted of bread, boiled eggs, bananas, sweet potato, sweetcorn and milk. The location of the hotel is super convenient and given how close it is to the main streets, we were surprised how quiet the room is! The shampoo and shower gel also smelt sooo nice and luxurious.

Old style hotel, refurbished and still looking new on the inside. Location is good... About 10 mins walk to most sights in town. Sad to say... Many of the shops nearby have closed down. A biggish supermarket in the basement of next building..... Very rare nowadays in China.Also has a luckin for the caffeine *******. The street behind has many small local stir-fry restaurants. The roast Goose restaurant chun ji is just around the corner.

Pros : Clean and Comfortable staying environment with heated bidet toilet seats and complimentary pantry.
Attentive ”butlers” @ your service where there are issues or questions.
Value for money given the space and proximity to the attractions.
Cons: wifi bandwidth inadequate during evenings. Can't even use xiao du to play a complete song.
If u r looking for the views, this isnt for you. It's a short distance away. The beautiful views of the hills can only be seen in the restaurant/pool area.

We had a lovely stay at the Venus. It is in a great location just within a walking distance to the scenic sights. The breakfast was substantial with a variety of choices.
The staff at the desk, restaurant and the housekeepers were super helpful and courteous.
If you are looking for a boutique hotel with an authentic Chinese vibe, the Venus in Guilin will fit the bill. Using a translator will help as English is not widely spoken and understood here. But the staff patience makes up for the language issues.

A pleasant stay overall - The staffs are friendly and helpful. You can even notice that they are very attentive to their guest.
It is great that this hotel does not allow smoking inside their facility (allowed outdoors only). Their gym is embarrassing but other than that, everything else seems nice.
One thing that I am very disappointed about is that the photos of the Cozy Room (King Bed) has a river view. However, we did not have that. We had a full view of the buildings and streets instead.

I absolutely loved this hotel. The view was beautiful from our room and the location was perfect. Right next to the reed flute caves and delicious Guilin rice noodles 5 minutes away. I was able to take a bamboo raft ride on the lake outside the hotel and the staff were just perfect. Melody’s English was great she was super helpful, all the staff were very helpful. I loved my stay here and they helped us carry all our heavy luggage down into the taxi as well. 10/10 just great. Oh!!! And do not forget to take out the bicycles for a ride!! The hotel lent them to us for free. There is a bicycle trail super close to the hotel that leads all around the town and it was by far my favourite experience in Guilin. The scenery was just amazing.

GGuest UserI felt special from the moment I stepped out of my taxi. The customer service is wonderful and attentive. I booked a panoramic room and it was exactly as described…just beautiful. Within walking distance of the quay for river rafting (if you turn left out of the hotel). Breakfast was lovely with a choice of either Chinese or 8 different Western options. I was sad to leave…and even more sad saying goodbye to that bath! Well done to the amazing staff at this small hotel…they really do put the customer experience first!
AAMAR ANWARLocation
It's 'in' West Street rather than 'on' West Street. Surrounding the hotel is the Pedestrian shopping area. It is filled with street vendors and evening activities. Despite this the noise level in the hotel room is fine. You cannot hear anything from outside even during the evenings. Great location.
Room
The room itself (we were in the Cinema projector room) is large enough but it did lack a fridge. We were only there for 2 nights but any longer and this may be an issue.
The room is clean. Daily housekeeping provides bed tidying, trash emptying, and new towels each night. One issue thing is that housekeeping turned off the AC and unplugged my charging plugs (to be fair, nothing at the time was actually being charged) but I do like coming back to a super cold room after a hot day so I didn't like the AC being turned off.
If you are deciding on the Cinema room, be wary. It is a good movie-watching experience and there are lots of Chinese and Western films. But, it has to be in low light. You must close the curtains..... but the curtains still let in light through the bottom. You will also have to turn off the lights and this is another problem. Normally one light switch controls one light. But this hotel has smart switches where one switch can control several lights and there was no combination that we found can allow the room to be dark enough for the screen but allow some light so you are not sitting in total darkness. This meant we turned off all room lights and turned on the lights in the bathroom.
The bathroom is large but a few issues here too. The toilet is not a smart bidet toilet. Just a normal one. No big issue.The shower is a bigger issue. There are two showerheads, a tall one high on the roof and a handheld one, pretty normal. But the handheld one is tiny, and as a guy who prefers the handheld one, it takes forever to use it thoroughly enough.
Another issue with the bathroom is the fact that if you sit in the room you can look inside the bathroom and see whomever is showering. The glass is frosted so its not clear and as I was with my wife, its not an issue for us. But if you have a twin room then maybe its an issue if you don't want someone to see you showering.
But the bathroom has a heated towel rack and large heated mirror and good shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided
The bedroom floor is an issue. I weigh 75kg and in places on the floor you step it feels as if the floor is flexing under you. Then I saw that part of the seam of the wood looked like its coming up and if you were not wearing slippers then maybe you could cut yourself
One last issue with the room is the level it is on. As mentioned before the hotel is on the street. So if you keep your curtains open, anyone on the street can very easily see into your room. It lacks privacy.
Breakfast:
I must say this was disappointing. You have mini-croissants and plain sliced bread for toast. You have rice, noodles, mini chicken sausages and eggs. There's a noodle station also so you can get some cooked to your desire. But it just seemed lacking in options.
Service:
Very warm and friendly and patient staff. You can ask questions (in English) via WeChat and they often reminded me about times for breakfast and if I was okay so far.
Common Areas:
The hotel is very modern. Lots of places to sit and every surface is designed well with interesting and modern materials and furnishings.
Extras:
Laundry room is good. 4 modern washer/dryers. sinks to do hand washing and an excellent steamer to iron clothes The hotel has a spa but we never used
Overall:
The only other hotels that may be better than this were much more expensive and in a worse location. So with BO Hotel, you get a very pretty hotel with a modern look, a large room with nice features (cinema screen), great service from staff and all for a low price and in an amazing location. Yangshuo then for 3-4 days or less I would return. Any longer and I would want a fridge and a gym
IItsJimBooking and Check-In
I booked my stay at the Shixi Landscape Hotel in Yangshuo, Guilin, through Trip.com. The check-in process was very smooth and didn’t take long at all. One pleasant surprise was the option to upgrade our room for free, which we accepted. This upgraded room came with a lovely balcony. Although the staff couldn’t speak English, they were very friendly and helpful. Using a translation app made communication easy.
Room Details
We stayed in a standard double room with an upgrade to a balcony room. The room also featured a bathtub, which was a nice touch. Upon entering, the room was fairly clean, though there were some water stains on the floor and the carpet had a few dirty spots. The amenities were average, including a selection of soft drinks in the minibar and some snacks on the table. Despite these minor cleanliness issues, the bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Facilities and Services
The hotel had a restaurant where we received a complimentary breakfast upgrade. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not meet our expectations. While the Chinese food selection seemed okay, the international options were quite disappointing. The sausages were undercooked, the bacon was not good, and the cereal options looked and tasted stale. The only decent international option was toast with butter. It’s a relief we didn’t pay extra for it.
Although I noticed the hotel had a spa, gym, and pool, I didn’t get a chance to use them. The pool looked nice but was small and shallow, not suitable for a serious swim. There was no room service available as far as I knew.
Location and Accessibility
The hotel’s location was fantastic, situated right next to the Li River and only a short 5-minute walk to the main shops and streets in the town. It was very easy to find and access, making it a convenient base for exploring Yangshuo.
Customer Service
The overall customer service was great. The staff were very friendly and polite, and we encountered no issues during our stay.
Overall Experience
The best part of our stay was the hotel’s prime location, which made it easy to visit tourist attractions. The hotel staff were also very helpful in arranging scooter rentals for a very reasonable price of ¥30 per day, which allowed us to explore the beautiful scenery around Yangshuo.
However, there is room for improvement. The breakfast selection, particularly the international options, needs significant enhancement. Additionally, a thorough deep cleaning of the carpets would greatly improve the room’s cleanliness.
In conclusion, while I would recommend the Shixi Landscape Hotel for its location and overall good service, it is on the pricier side for Yangshuo. Given the cost, I expected a bit more in terms of breakfast quality and room cleanliness. Nonetheless, it is a decent option for those looking to stay near the Li River and the town’s main attractions.
EEdciaOur room was lovely on the 3rd floor with a lovely view of the mountains of Yangshou . Very spacious, clean and got clean daily . Provided with everything needed .
The hotel location was the best ! In front of the the river a block away from the Main Street , first floor had a restaurant, you could order on your room and reception tell you to come down when your table was ready .
All personal was friendly and helpful. We book some tours with them too all totally worth it ! We had a great time we will definitely stay again .
GGuest UserHotel is really good located and clean with beautiful decorations. Also laundry service us for free. During our stay breakfast wasnt avaible, so they asked us what we want to eat for breakfast and prepred small box for us.

EExpatThis is an absolutely beautiful hotel. As a solo traveler, I do feel that it’s good for one night to experience that design and pampering space. There are bus tour groups which go there and seem to work well with the KTV, Buffet meals, and lounging areas.
From my trip, I stayed for two days after the Chinese Qixing Festival. It was really nice to arrive and have access to the teatime snacks and desserts as well as the wonderful architecture and furniture design. The outdoor pool is nice, however the indoor pool charges 50 yuan because they offer drinks and snacks. The only drinks and snacks they offered were juice boxes and some fruit. One employee told me that there were cocktails available. The exercise room and yoga room were set up very nice. The shower rooms very clean. I would not pay for the indoor swimming pool in my opinion based on the drink/snacks.
The bar that is advertised from some user photos does not exist. Some employees said it was open, others said not. Management can communicate that better, as a lush hotel should have a solid lounge. The tea lounge does not have any alcohol drinks available, but rather decoration of wine bottles. The design is gorgeous though. One employee told me that they ran out of alcohol due to holiday, and another employee told me that there was a bar open which really was not. I simply went to get my own spirits when I wanted a cocktail (made in my room).
Other than that, everything in the hotel was fine. My room was really lovely with the exception of the fact that you cannot go out on the balconies and there is a smoke smell from the carpet. The hotel gladly gave me a an air purifier to help alleviate the smell. My opinion is that the power should be sat on before a guest checks into their room. I had to change the filter over the two days. It did not appear that the KTV was open (maybe epidemic), I decided to go hang out in town, but enjoyed the Victorian flair when relaxing.
Overall, the comfort, bathing, and relaxation was great. The breakfast is really delicious, and the service of the employees all around was impeccable despite the fact that they could not offer all of the amenities. It seems an OK place for families/photos as well since the property is unique. The 50 yuan for tea time was probably the most valuable, and the room service staff are detailed. The butler/reception very professional, Ayi staff amazing. Transportation quite easy.

PPrairieTruthfully, I am having time finding words, and that's unusual for me. I must admit I was disappointed when Yangshuo Mountain Retreat cancelled my booking because of a wedding that had booked the place, but the photos of the garden sold me. I've been to Yangshuo perhaps five times over the last 10 years, and have stayed in every kind of place there-from a cheap hostel to the boutique rooms but my dream was to stay at YMR, where I always stop and have a whiskey by the river.
When we pulled into Liqui Town, I realized I had not explored this part of the valley and was disoriented. But then the staff greeted us, carried in our bags, gave us tea, peanuts, and oranges, and set to taking care of our every need. They were this way with us from start to finish-sending us off with a bag of fresh mandarin oranges and hugs-and a promise to send an invoice for our remaining expenses-which we still have not gotten!
Apart from the wonder of just those details, the food was exquisite, our farmhouse room was stylish and simple yet so thoroughly Chinese-in the most real and unassuming way. It was an honor and a pleasure to sip tea in the farmhouse and look at the many woodcut posters and Chinese propaganda songs on the walls while staring up from the tea table to the simply elegant clay tile roof resting on the original beams, feeling the mud bricks breathe out their history silently under a soft rain and the early crows of the neighborhood roosters. I
If one is quiet and still, I believe this little gem will give up her secrets, her history, and the story and true feeling of old-time village life amongst the stunning splatters of karst and water. We enjoyed watching the staff use the traditional well to clean up around the property, and the garden did not disappoint. Truly magical and filled with bonsai that some local master has been enjoying for many years. The food was excellent. We spoke with some Chinese tourists on the way out who were very disappointed with the local version of beer fish, ah but ours was exquisite, along with the drinks and italian food. It's very rare to find this mix of culture, authenticity, generosity, and good service all wrapped into a package that does nearly guarantee the fulfillment of the motto the girls wear on their shirts, ”be inspired....”
I would recommend this to anyone. 谢谢你们!
FFaeMy first impression of Shangri La Guilin is that many staff speak English proficiently or at least the basics that are required for their job. I arrived an hour and a half before the check in time but they promptly checked me into my room without any long wait. My luggage was taken to my room by a bell boy whose English was even better than the front of the house. My initial thoughts of the room was that it was quite old fashioned and the interior design & amenities were dated in comparison to most 5 star hotels. The view however was exceptional. I could clearly see the garden, river and mountains. After my first night I was woken by some loud music. Though the staff tried to tell the dancers that playing the music was disruptive to their guests, they continued to play it which further frustrated me. I informed the guest manager Edward who was very helpful in rectifying this. He upgraded me into a much nicer room that he ensured me should be quieter. They also gave me complimentary fruits in the room which added to the nice gesture. This is exactly the kind of quality of service that earns them a 5 star rating. Carl at the front desk was also very competent and was very helpful when I had to pay for something through wechat.
The room I came with was a package deal that included breakfast, spa voucher, photoshoot and club privileges. It was worth the extra cost as the all inclusive club buffet during happy hour was filling and tasty (photo attached).
Breakfast was a Chinese buffet with a fusion of western basics such as cereal, toast and bakery items.
If you have the time, I would highly recommend seeing Kelly (English name) for a ”signature Asian” massage at the spa. She applied the perfect pressure for me and was very kind.
The photoshoot was organised through wechat and included 6 photos. The photographer was lovely and the final photos made special memories of my time in China.
Suggestions for improvement: several items in the room are in need of repair or replacement eg. old hair dryer that lightly blows air (useless), flickering lights when you turn it on and the phones. I also think if they were to refurbish the pools outside then the place would appear less worn down.
Overall, the service and reputation is what made this stay worth it. I look forward to staying at Shangri La again

Kkhabitat CSThis hotel is worth writing a review. The hotel is the best looking around the area. It is on the opposite side of the 西街 food street. For location, you can give a 3 stars but you can give it 10stars. Because tour is about experience and this hotel provides the experience for taking a small noisy ferry across to the opposite side which is a tremendous experience of us and the kids. The ride is only 5minutes and you can check from the hotel room (window) to see if the boat has arrived. The swimming pool onlooking the mountain is breathtaking and this hotel definitely has the wow factor. Hotel looks new and trendy. Flashing sound from the toilet and some noise coming from the other rooms can be heard. I suggest hotel staff should explain to stayer to keep their volume down during check-in. I think it is quite understandable and customer should accept that since Yangshuo is considered a scenic area in the rural area. Enjoyable stay!
JJulieHad an incredible stay here! The views are stunning (probably one of the best out of all the other accommodations nearby), the room was clean and the service was friendly. It's a family owned business and everyone is lovely. If you're taking a bus, it won't drop you all the way to the hotel but if you give the hotel a call, someone can come pick you up from the bus stop. I had a bit of a miscommunication with my previous hotel who arranged a coach for us that dropped us off at a very far away drop off point and someone still came and picked us up from there with no complaints (and did not charge us for it)!! We were also dropped back off at the bus stop on the day we left. No one spoke much English which made it a little harder, but we got by with a translator app. There are quite a few stairs to go up to get to the hotel which isn't great if you have lots of heavy luggage so I'd recommend packing lightly if possible. Having said that, if you have average fitness, you should be fine getting up and down the stairs, the trek is not too long. The views are definitely worth it! Would stay again for sure.
