Yayuan Private Hot Spring Resort Homestay - Yulong River Jiuxian Wharf Yangshuo

We had such a wonderful stay at Yayuan Hotel! We booked the 270° view room and the view was absolutely magnificent. The room had its own balcony, and waking up surrounded by Yangshuo’s beautiful mountain scenery was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The room itself was spacious, clean and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. Breakfast was also great — we especially loved the Guilin noodles in the morning. Delicious! The staff were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. They helped us carry our luggage up and down the stairs, and having a full 24-hour reception was very convenient. As foreigners, we mainly communicated with the hotel through WeChat and had no problems at all. They even helped us with ******* orders when we needed assistance. One of our favourite little touches was the complimentary cocktail every evening — one per guest each night! Such a lovely way to come back and relax after a full day exploring Yangshuo. Afternoon tea was also included, although Yangshuo was so much fun that we were out exploring every morning and afternoon and never managed to make it back in time! The hotel also offers scooter rentals, which was super convenient for exploring the countryside. There are plenty of other scooter rental shops just down the road as well, so you have lots of options. The hotel can also arrange discounted tickets for many of Yangshuo’s attractions, which is worth asking about before booking elsewhere. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Beautiful views, spacious rooms, delicious breakfast, thoughtful extras and genuinely helpful staff. Yangshuo was one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip, and staying here made the experience even better. We would happily stay again!

The staff are super friendly, offering water for free all the time! They also offered one free cocktail or afternoon tea per day and offered a really good breakfast. Finally, the rooms were vast and had large beds - an amazing trip!

The place is away from all the noise and hustle. We loved it, cause the area is beautiful, yet keep in mind that it's about 30 min away from Yangshuo, and there are no restaurants nearby. We got a room with a nice view. The room was cosy, and we enjoyed sitting by the big window. I'd say that a big carpet would've been a useful addition, cause the floor is very cold, however, slippers are provided. The stuff were very nice and helpful. They prepared cake slices for our birthday celebration.  There two things I recommend the hotel improving:  1 - breakfast could be more varied and better. We were served the same soup every morning, and one day there was a small buffet, yet the buffet options seemed to be the same ingredients as in the soup. Breakfast is not worth paying for additionally. It was fulfilling and a great experience for a day or two.  2 - the room should be cleaned better during the stay. As a standard, the bed is usually made, the cups washed and trash removed from the surfaces, but most of this wasn't done even after a request.  Apart from these hiccups, the stay was very cosy and joyful. The hotel itself feels thought-through and well-kept, and the furniture and decorations chosen wisely.   I would recommend it to a friend - actually, I've already recommended it to a friend. 

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, the view was amazing and the staff were all great. One of us was sick during our stay and the staff were so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It was such a peaceful atmosphere. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Don’t miss out on the cocktails - they were delicious 🍸
