Nada. I loved everything.

The place looks exactly like the pictures. It is managed by Shelly, the owner and a lively warm hearted lady who always has a smile on her face. The outdoors space by the pool smells of Jasmin Flowers and big butterflies everywhere. And then the views of the karst landscape and the city down below everywhere you look. its is slightly away from the Town, roughly 16 minutes by scooters which you can rent at the reception. I LOVED this place. I felt home. Wei wei the chef, Xing xing the cleaning lady, Craig the main receptionist and of course Shelly have left a print on my heart. If you are visiting the area, this is thee absolute best value for your money situation. That being said, Yangshuo is an all around kind and hospitable city so i am sure that wherever you end up will be Sweet.

The location is not good. But the view from there was spectacular!

Everything was superb. The view, the cleanliness, the food, the staff.

Nothing really - it suited our needs very well.

Very nice scenic location. Nice outdoor pool area. Room was comfortable and clean with air conditioning. In particular we found Craig and Shelly who run the hotel to be very friendly and helpful with arranging tickets for local attractions. Excellent service.

Spacious rooms, with amazing views on the mountains and the river. Biggest compliments to the staff at reception with good English and being helpful beyond any expectations and making suggestions for the surrounding sites.

Breakfast could definitely be improved—it was quite bad. The place itself is beautiful, but it’s very far from everything. If you’re looking for complete peace and quiet, it’s fine. Otherwise, be prepared to pay for a taxi every time you want to eat out or go to the center

Clean and spacious room with an amazing view! The guy at reception was very kind and helped me plan what to visit, rent a scooter, and he speaks good English :)

Perfect stay! Location is great from the train station because you don’t have to go through the busy centre. Views were serene and staff were exceptional. Easy to rent mopeds, order food and so forth. Would recommend.

The view was amazing. It is a quiet place with large rooms and balcony facing the mountains

The view of the hotel is amazing. It is very quiet, so it is a good place to relax. The staff is very nice, especially Craig who was very helpful to us and spoke good English. The breakfast is very good and western and vegetarian options are available.

The property is quiet and has a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding the city. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was attentive, friendly and gave us lots of good tips on things to do/see.

View of mountains from room, hotel grounds, helpful receptionist, location to town, comfortable bed.

Nothing, it was perfect!

We were initially surprised that it was not too close to the city, but we actually loved the location and felt immersed in nature with this spectacular view of the mountains. Being in the city would not have been the same. I am still dreaming about the view and the nearby village! The staff was so helpful and welcoming! Our host was fluent in English which made our trip arrangement easier. The food was really nice for the price! We will definitely be back!

generally very happy with our stay and would come again, excellent value for money. A few minor comments : - breakfast could have more options (at least for drinks, for example hot chocolate) - would be great if there was a self service laundry - bikes could be in better condition - could be helpful to put a sign requesting silence in the room floors (a Chinese group of clients yelled every morning at 8:00am in the corridor on their way out, waking everyone up)

- the view, the view, the view : incredible - the possibility to order good foods and drinks all day (both Chinese and western options) - bedroom was comfortable, clean, with nice terrace (with a good view) - easy to find by typing the name on Didi or google maps; location far from the noise of the city center/west street but easily accessible by didi (10-15min) - reception spoke English and was happy to give advice and help - possible to rent bikes for a day (30 RMB per bike)
