This is our Best Value pick for Yangshuo. It suits couples and families who want to base themselves in the countryside of the Ten Mile Gallery area rather than in town. Family rooms are listed.
It is a strong fit if you want help organising your trip. Guests say the English-speaking team assists with itinerary planning, ticket bookings and scooter rentals.
Skip it if you rely on a Western breakfast each morning. Guests say the local dishes are fresh but Western choices are limited.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Ten Mile Gallery area. The full address is Jiwodu Village, Shili Gallery, Yangshuo Town, Yangshuo County, Gulin City, China. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10.
The only landmark distance in our data is Moon Hill, about 2.7 km away by straight-line estimate, around 34 minutes on foot. That is over half an hour, so most people will want a scooter, bike, taxi or public transport. Guests mention that staff can arrange scooter rentals.
Walking times have not been verified. We also have no confirmed distance to Yangshuo town, so check that on a map if you plan evenings out.
What guests say
The score is 9.6 out of 10 from 338 guest reviews, joint third of the 8 eligible properties in our sample.
The scenery is the headline. Guests describe floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of karst mountains, the river and a lake. The second big plus is the staff, who speak English and help with plans, tickets and scooters.
Breakfast divides opinion a little. Guests like the fresh Guilin noodles and local dishes, but find Western options limited and the breakfast room small. The hotel lists continental, vegetarian, vegan, halal, Asian, American and buffet options.
