I originally booked a twin room, a standard one, but the owner upgraded me to a king-size room with a view. It's really close to West Street, and you can get to the other side of the river for just 4 yuan from the pier. The landlady was very welcoming and even invited me to take photos at the Sky Mirror on the rooftop, which turned out amazing! Highly recommended.

Response from Property: Thank you for your kind review! 😊 We were delighted to provide you with a great stay and were happy to upgrade your room for free. Our place is within walking distance of West Street and very convenient for ferry travel. The rooftop Sky Mirror is always a great spot for guests to take photos. We look forward to your next visit to Yangshuo and wish you a pleasant trip!

This isn't a bad place, but the photos set expectations for something much better. In reality, it doesn't quite live up to them.
There are a lot of "buts."
The view is absolutely stunning, but if you look to the sides, you're looking at a typical rural Chinese landscape with litter and neglected buildings.
The room is nice, but the lampshade and the armchair are in desperate need of cleaning.
The bathroom is spacious, but the grout is dirty. Towels are provided, although one of mine had a hole in it.
There's a kettle, but not even a single tea bag.
The staff kindly allowed me a late check-out and even checked that I hadn't forgotten anything in the room. However, when I arrived, they were playing cards and didn't seem particularly interested in checking me in. They also didn't speak any English. One of the staff members even told me it was okay to swim in the river—even though swimming there is actually prohibited. 🤣🤣🤣
One more thing: without DiDi, getting to the town centre is practically impossible.
The air conditioning also isn't very effective.
Response from Property: Dear guest,Thank you for your detailed and genuine feedback, we sincerely apologize for all the unsatisfactory points you experienced during your stay.Regarding transportation, we think you may not be familiar with the transportation options around Yangshuo. Apart from Didi, guests can walk around nearby areas, take public buses and ferries for only 4 yuan, or rent electric scooters to travel freely. We will add a detailed travel guide in each room for future visitors.As for the air conditioner, all our rooms are equipped with brand-new Gree air conditioners. The cooling effect may be unsatisfying due to incorrect operation methods. We will put up simple operation reminders next to the AC to help guests use it properly.Our rooms face the stunning Li River scenery directly, which is our biggest highlight. However, the buildings on the sides belong to local residents’ private houses. We have no authority to manage or renovate the surrounding private environment, and we feel helpless about the messy sights beside us. We will actively communicate with nearby villagers to improve the surrounding environment little by little.We have already arranged thorough deep cleaning for all rooms, standardized the room supply preparation, and held service & safety training for all staff to avoid similar mistakes next time. We truly appreciate your valuable suggestions, and we hope you can give us a chance to serve you better next time.

The staff are wonderful. Very welcoming and friendly. The helped us find bikes etc. and the coffee is very well done. We loved that it wasn't on the busy side of the river near West Street, but the ferry across the river was a 1 minute walk away.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊We’re thrilled you enjoyed our friendly service, coffee and bike rental.It’s great to hear you loved our quiet location, with the ferry just a short 1-minute walk away.We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Friendly and accommodating staff, Jerry speaks English fluently making it easier to help me with my questions. The place is exactly like the photos. Make sure to connect with them before arriving and ask for the exact location, it's across west street and you can take a ferry or book a taxi to take you to the exact location since the bus will only drop you off on the main road. Definitely worth it.
Response from Property: It sounds like you had a really great experience! The friendly and accommodating staff can indeed make a huge difference during a stay. It's wonderful that Jerry is fluent in English and was able to assist you effectively with all your questions.Overall, it's clear that you highly recommend this place, and it's great to know that it's worth the visit. We hope more people will be able to enjoy their stay there too based on your positive feedback!

This hotel is perfectly located—offering quick access to the centre of Guilin while being tucked away in a peaceful area, far from the noise and crowds. The rooftop was a highlight for me, providing a stunning spot for photos and yoga sessions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful; while most don’t speak English, they were patient and made communicating through online translators effortless. Cosy and clean rooms!

The hotel is located by the river; it's very convenient, just a short walk from the ferry crossing to West Street. The landlady is very kind and welcoming; she'll help you solve any problems immediately. She was very nice and even gave me some delicious juice when I left! 🍹 An unforgettable trip!

This is a riverfront room with a stunning view of the river and mountains reflected in the water from the balcony. The scenery is beautiful, the living environment is comfortable and cozy, and the host is very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely choose this place again next time. It's highly recommended.

The claim about river view rooms is a bit of an exaggeration; it's like being a frog in a well, only able to see a very small portion of the river.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for your stay. Our guesthouse is located on the banks of the Li River, offering unobstructed river views. Your interpretation of the river view as "like a frog at the bottom of a well" is rather vague. Also, the room type you booked is not one of our river-view rooms. We wish you a pleasant stay.

Xishihuashe is a comfortable hotel, and each room has its own unique design! The hygiene is good and the environment is quiet. Sitting on the hammock and looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window is very relaxing!
It is highly recommended that you go bamboo rafting on the Yulong River, rent a tram to visit the Shili Gallery, visit the Xingping Ancient Town Observation Deck for 20 yuan, and go to Yitian West Street to eat beer fish!
