Perched on a hillside in the outskirts of Jinghong in a tropical private park, lies Yourantai B&B, overlooking the Mekong River. Being a most amicable host, Gerard welcomed us just like personal friends and we shared a number of meals and bottles of wine with him, poring over maps to find out about the best outings to make. His in... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Yourantai B&B and just enjoyed the peace there. The B&B is located in Jinghong but you definitely need a taxi to reach it. Pick-up should be arranged if you get the first time to it (we did; went well). We stayed at the Palm Villa and enjoyed the view from the balcony across the... More

After 4 stays at Youranta, superlatives must keep coming. The setting is superb and totally quiet, food is 5 star, service exemplary with courteous, smiling, ever helpful staff. Gerard, the host, is a mine of local information and yes, I will be back as soon as possible.

Very nice rooms, arranged with taste in the local style, fancy furniture and garnments, beautiful tropical garden, relaxing areas for guests and good home-made dishes if you choose to stay for lunch or dinner : a safe choice for travellers seeking a quiet, stylish and up-scale place to stay in Southern Yunnan. The staff is very welcoming and the service... More

We were the only occupants of this Riverside property last week. We were given a room adjacent to common areas that was easy to manage. The owner was offsite. Our room was modest in size, with an open air bath. Some might find it charming I found it similar to camping out. There was no sound proofing whatsoever so you... More

I had the good fortune of being invited to Yourantai for dinner while in Jinghong on vacation. My only regret is not reserving one of the elegant yet homely guesthouses. The food was impeccable - fusion cuisine using local ingredients (including many veggies grown on site). The service was even better, topped off by the owner Gerard's wonderful company, wonderful...

I've stayed at Yourantai twice now and will be back as it offers the finest accommodation plus excellent food, peerless service from the hard working staff and absolute peace, quiet and tranquility amidst the forest and with the mighty Mekong flowing gently below you. The perfect place to unwind and absolutely no complaints in any form. Totally recommended to all... More

You will feel at HOME at Yourantai ! The design of each villa is unique from the terrasse, the living room, the bathroom and the bed. We stayed there with our 2-year old baby girl and very good friends from Sweden with 3 children. Yourantai is a baby friendly place. The food is authentically excellent from the breakfast to dinner... More

We had a wonderful stay in this B & B. It suits expats who really need to have a change from China. Blue skies and starry nights can be found in China, at Yourantai. A true, tropical oasis away from the general mayhem that is most of China. 
A great host who can't do enough to keep his guests happy.... More
