    Relaxing weekend despite the weather
    My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing 3 day weekend at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat. Despite the fact that it rained the entire time (which is why February is the lowest season), Chris Barclay (owner) Little Fish (resident manager) and their entire staff did a great job connecting us…

    Absolutely Idyllic
    This retreat is an absolute oasis in the best location by the river. This eco-tourist destination was wonderful. The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms are very clean and there was always hot water. I appreciated the bikes they provided, and we had a wonderful time biking…

    Dear Pamela, Thank you from all of us at Mountain Retreat for your very kind review. For the past 17 years we have continually upgraded and improved our facilities, so we love to get your feedback that our efforts have made you so happy with your stay. As we are in the heart of the Yulong River Scenic Area, the new traffic restrictions mean that our guests can enjoy riding bikes on quiet back roads and even ride to Yangshuo town, which is 7km from us. Thank you for letting other guests know about the enjoyment of biking through the area and of our riverside restaurant. Yours truly, Little Fish

    Fabulous hotel
    I stayed here for a few days in the summer after a hectic few days in Hong Kong. The hotel was just lovely - so quiet and peaceful - located on the edge of the river where you could sit on the terrace and watch the bamboo rafts floating by. The hotel staff spoke excellent…

    Amazing views, food and service!
    We spent a weekend here and loved it (my girlfriend had previously stayed with her parents and refused to go elsewhere as it was so good before). Whilst it's off-season due to the weather, there's still plenty to do around the hotel (i.e. walking, boat trip, cycling) The hotel…

    Dear James, We;re so happy that you followed your girlfriend's advice to join her and parents on their second stay with us! We so appreciate your detailed review which is really helpful for other readers. We especially thank you for pointing out that our drivers charge the same as a taxi but only our Mountain Retreat cars can come in to the Scenic Area during all hours, unlike taxis or Didi drivers. It's also good advice to get a balcony room. We always do our best to offer complimentary upgrades, but during the busy season, we really recommend guests book our most popular rooms well in advance. We look forward to offering you delightful surprises on your next visit, including our new secret dining room and lux family suite (March 2019). Stay warm and hope to see you soon, Little Fish, Anna, Kate, Annie, Michelle and the Mountain Retreat family

    Hi - we are looking to return to the resort this winter, do you have warm air conditioning?
    Hello, sorry we just saw this question. It's always easy to chat with us on our website, send us an email or message on our Facebook page. We have heat A/C in all rooms and electric blankets. As it doesn't go below freezing in Yangshuo, our rooms are always toasty warm in Winter :)

    Is there a room big enough to accommodate my family of five or would we need two rooms?
    The maximum we can accommodate in any of our rooms is 4 guests, unless one is an infant or toddler who sleeps with parents. Thanks for asking! You can see our rooms on the main website yangshuomountainretreat

    How to get to the place under the new regulations? Is there still a shuttle?
    The hotel are obviously distraught that access is restricted so if you contact them they will be very helpful in getting your transfer from the perimeter. Out of normal daytime hours I don’t think there are restrictions. Check with the hotel. The staff are lovely.
