Top Guilin Hotel Reviews

Li River Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Staff speaks good English and rooms are clean. I would recommend this for a serene weekend in Yangshuo immersed in nature and if you want to be away from the hustling and bustling of the city."

The Dragon’s Rest Sanctuary - Yulong River Branch

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was nothing short of amazing! We loved this property as it was clean, the room was large and the staff were so helpful. They booked us cars to get from the train station and airport, helped us book a scooter and even gave us food recommendations. We used the pool as it was so hot out and we also ate the breakfast both mornings. The staff were the highlight though as they were truly amazing. Such a beautiful property to be lucky enough to stay at."

Banyan Tree Yangshuo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nested between the Yangshuo mountains, it was a beautiful place, very clean and comfortable. During our stay Alice was very helpful with everything, she put a lot of effort to make us feel 100% comfortable and to make sure we had everything we needed to make the most of our stay. She helped us out booking the photographer and the transfers to the railway station and solving all the doubts we had. She also was super nice and friendly, it was a real pleasure talking to her every single time! Thank you so much for making our stay feel the best Alice!"

Yangshuo Zen Garden Resort - Yulong River

10/10 Excellent

"Garden Zen was truly an amazing resort nestled along the Yulong River allowing you to discover the region at your own pace while enjoying quality amenities and top-notch service. Pool was amazing in the heat and we got to enjoy morning meditation and Tai Chi sessions!"

Yangshuo Ancient Garden Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gem of a hotel. Tucked away so you wouldn’t even know it was there. We arrived at night and it was beautifully lit and in a gorgeous setting. The staff are wonderful- friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The chef is great - highly recommend having dinner there. They also booked a tour and guide for us which was great. Everyone and everything is perfect."

Riverside Wing Hotel Guilin

8/10 Good

"Overall, a very good stay and good value for the money. The hotel is in a convenient location, the facilities were clean, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was good. A few minor negatives: the child bed was really just a mattress placed on the floor, and there was no proper table and chair in the room—only a child-sized seat. The hotel also advertised coffee in the lobby, but there was no actual coffee available, only premixed instant coffee/creamer/sugar sticks. Overall, though, we were happy with our stay and would consider staying here again."

YangShuo Percent Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great food, great view good rooms. Great location very close to centre and right by the river."

Yangshuo Fairyland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. They have e-bikes which you can rent. One of the staff even came and found me when I got lost!! The property is about 7km from the town but very doable if you take the e-bikes and the hotel provides helmets. The pool is very instagrammable! The views were amazing. They also have local costumes available for dressing up in if that appeals. There are lots of high tech gizmos, including a Japanese style toilet, a movie screen that comes down from the roof and automated curtains. All can be controlled by voice commands (if you speak Chinese)! This was our favourite hotel and we’d love to go back."
