Fantastic rural location and atmosphere. Staff were like a large happy family, and their smiles were infectious. It was great to have good English speakers to assist in organising activities and transport. The rental bicycles were in excellent condition, with a pump and puncture repair kit supplied. For travelers keen to experience Yangshuo nightlife, accommodation in Yangshuo itself might be... More

We stayed year towards the end of April in their family room for 2 nights and had a great time. The rooms are nice and cosy with enough space for kids to play around. Their courtyard which is in the middle of the rooms is great place to chill after a day of activities. The kitchen serves great continental and... More

This little guest house is a transformed farmhouse. The owners are a Dutch couple who ended up in China after much travel and decided to move from the tour guide business into operating their own guesthouse. Much of the atmosphere of this hotel is due to the personal day-to-day engagement of the owners. They are everywhere and are always there... More

This is definitely a very pleasant place to stay if you are visiting Yangshuo. The hotel is established in a converted Chinese farm and offers a Mediterranean - Chinese atmosphere (if there is such a thing...) and comfort. It has a large closed and nicely equipped courtyard where one can relax, work, eat or enjoy a nice cup of tea... More

The Giggling Tree is about 1,5 hours driving from Guilin. The Giggling Tree offers you a taxi driver, who will bring you to them. But you have to book this. The staff is very nice and helpful.

The hotel is all that it promises to be - amidst authentic chinese farming location, good outdoor facilities, basic, but clean accommodation, friendly and helpful staff. Enough of things to do and see for five days, and the staff will help you to organize your day if needed. The weather was not too good when we were there in May,... More

This is a great hotel to take a break from the hustle and bustle. Nice rooms, lovely courtyard, friendly staff and fresh food. Great for families and couples. I'd highly recommend the Giggling Tree. I have travelled a lot in China, usually staying in more upmarket hotels. This experience reminds me that there are great hotels of all types.

In the tiny village Aishanmen, close to the scenic Yulong river only 5 km west from tourist hotspot Yangshuo, we renovated traditional yellow brick farmer houses into a beautiful inn.
