The hotel is very comfortable and pleasant. The staff is very friendly and Craig is doing his best to help you organise outings, providing maps and directions. He is also very ressourceful and flexible. The view from the rooms is stunning and the terrasse very relaxing and enchanting. A must stay there at Yangshuo!

We loved our stay at the Riversise Retreat Yangshuo. It was recommended by and set up by our tour guide Sophia and we were so thankful. We had a room on the third floor facing the front of the resort and the courtyard with a balcony and a picture window to the most amazing view! It was so much better... More

Just across the river from the town of Yangshuo lies the quite little farm village of Dong Ling. There you will find a newly remodeled hotel call Riverside Retreat. There are only about 17 rooms but almost everyone has a fantastic view of the Town of Yangshuo. They have a restaurant with excellent local and western meals. There is both... More

We had a really great stay at this hotel. Craig (one of the manager) speaks a very good English which has been very helpful for us, and was always available to answer any question we had.

The retreat is just outside of the center of Yangshuo, which we really enjoyed. We were able to hike through the farms and village down to the river right alongside some water buffalo. Kate helped us arrange... More

We needn't have worried - our second floor room was bright and spotless and the bed fresh and welcoming (if a little on the firm side ...). The view the next... More

We stayed at the Riverside Retreat in Yangshuo on September 2009 Very poor owner attitude, although We made a reservation 3 weeks in advanced Shelly the owner didn't have the decency to notify us that the hotel was in renovation actually it was a building site. The noise was terrible we could not hear ourself not to mention the lack... More

It’s been one year since we stayed at Riverside Retreat, but I remember it like it was yesterday. First, you can’t beat the view. After a day of exploring the area, it was so nice to just sit and relax on the patio, eat fairly decent food, and have a cold local beer. This place is across the river from... More

We stayed in the larger room, and except for awful German travelers, the spot was an absolute delight. Take the time to speak with Kate - an intelligent, wonderful, and thoughtful guide with great insights into life in the region. Wonderful time, thanks to Kate! By the way, people in town all seem to know River Shelly. Ask Kate to... More
