We arrived in the Yangshuo Village Retreat after two weeks of travelling around China, with two kids, plane and automobile! Firstly, the atmosphere is just great..it has the social side of a hostel, but the services of a hotel. There's a lovely, relaxed vibe - after two weeks of cities and overnight trains, we needed to chill out and that's... More

We like staying in hostels because you get the social atmosphere that most hotels lack. We were going to stay in Tripper's Carpe Diem (same owners) but decided to splurge on the Village Retreat. It was a good choice. Stayed in the Blue Room with balcony. Shower has a glass wall so you can watch the bamboo trees dance on... More

Love it. I stayed for one month with my wife joining me for the 2nd two weeks. The staff are very friendly and helpful and everyone speaks English if needed. The staff can organise any activity you are interested in. I had a daily Mandarin language lesson with a tutor (Lucy: jingjing1939@hotmail.com - great tutor) - the staff can help... More

The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The Staff... More

My second stay in Yangshuo and stayed in the same hotel. Why change when I a very good experience during my first stay. In general the Village Retreat is a convenient, warm and professionally run hotel with an excellent location. It's not in the hustle and bustle of the tourist center (which is far too noisy, busy) but as close... More

I was looking for a place to stay that was outside of the hustle-and-bustle of the town, and this was perfect. A 15 min. walk and what a beautiful walk it was, especially at night, with the sound of the crickets and the stars in the dark night sky! They have a book in each room that they put together... More
