Reviews of Yangshuo Secret Garden

Peaceful setting, enchanting traditional style building & excellent service.

Bumped our heads on the low doorways a few times!

Nice decorated house, very friendly staff. Goodfood

a bit outside of the city

I have beeb to the secret garden now a few times over the last 10 years or so. Yanshuo and yulong river area have changed heaps over the years, here i still find peace and quiet. Villagers were planting rice. The locals gather at the river in the evening to cool down. On an electric scooter you can easily explore les touristy areas. The staff was really helpful. The western treats at restaurant made my day.

Everything was nice. The staff is very nice and helpful. The place is beautiful. The location in the contryside is very good.

Nothing.

It is a well-restored, charming 150-year-old complex of houses. The staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. They helped us hire a minibus to take us on a sightseeing tour.

A gorgeous hotel, built from a collection of old houses in one of the ancient villages along the Yulong river. It's completely charming, quirky and perfect for exploring Yangshou. The restaurant serves well priced, generous portions of local and western food and the breakfast choices were great too. They have bike hire on the property, perfect for exploring the river bank and stunning scenery, and the staff speak good English and are keen to recommend things to do in the area We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend, especially if you want a more authentic experience.

Our stay at Yangshuo Secret Garden was simply unforgettable. Nestled just outside the center of Yangshuo, this charming B&B is a beautifully restored traditional property, built with stone and wood, which gives it a truly authentic and peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by picturesque canals and lush greenery, it’s the perfect base for exploring the region. The guesthouse offers bicycle rentals, which we highly recommend—riding through the nearby villages and along the canals was a highlight of our trip. One of the best experiences we had was the cooking class offered by the property. It was fun, informative, and delicious—a must-do! There are also plenty of other activities to choose from, like bamboo rafting and exploring the countryside. The owners were incredibly helpful, even assisting us with booking tickets for the Impression Liu Sanjie light show from Italy, before our arrival. The onsite restaurant is another big plus: they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with both local and Western options available. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. If you’re looking for a quiet, authentic, and activity-filled stay in Yangshuo, Yangshuo Secret Garden is the perfect place.

Very beautiful hotell and surroundings! Located a bit outside Yangshuo in a very quiet area. You need to take a taxi to get there, but it's absolutely worth it.

Lovely place, in a quiet part of Yangshuo. Staff were absolutely incredible! Good restaurant on site. Comfy rooms.

A gorgeous, quirky property . Staff were so helpful and friendly. A great stay!

WiFi only worked next to reception / restaurant but to be honest it was nice to switch off from social media.

This is a very special hotel - a whole series of buildings built around courtyards and paths full of plants. The indoor and outdoor restaurant was a lovely place to eat. The dinner was very good. We chose vegetarian local dishes which seemed like a contemporary take on traditional cooking and were delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

A small inside another small village; pebble stone alleys, a cat that stare at you, all surrounded by the catch Guangxi hills. A mágic stay in the countryard, along from the Yangshuo mess, but connected by Tuk Tuk, bycicles or electric motorbikes at downtown. The warm welcome of the sweet reception ladies, the enormous, rustical rooms, the grey stone, the flowers spread everywhere will let you stay like in your own house. Great experience at a stunning low price

Lovely location, fantastic staff and delicious food. I will be back again

Nothing

Beautifully restored old village buildings, comfy rooms, wonderful staff and excellent food. Close to Yulong river for cycling and rafting. It’s one of the best hotels in the area if you want something a bit different and more memorable.

Nothing

Peace of heaven. Very relax atmosphere and quiet. Location outside busy street , middle of normal life. I liked a lot.

Everything! The Secret Garden is magic- Location, staff, layout of the different areas of the 'hotel'. Food and the serenity. Magic. The tours and private driver were great and also being to walk around the local village and watch daily like go by was part of the magic.

There was nothing that we didn't like- NOTHING!

This is a brilliant place to stay. The hotel and the staff are lovely and the staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. A really great hotel ! I will be back.

Very comfortable stay and excellent service and food. Rebekah and Molly at the front desk took very good care of me and welcomed me especially as a solo traveller.
