This place has such soul … built before the Qing dynasty and painstakingly restored and upgraded with modern amenities, you will find the quality of the rooms, restaurant, and warm friendly staff as equally attractive as the building’s stunning facade. Set in the gorgeous landscape of the Yulong River valley, surrounded by karst mountains, you will feel like you have been transported back in time as you watch the Jiuxian villagers go about their daily rural life. This is my second visit to Secret Garden, but certainly not my last. See you again soon Ding, Flora and all the other lovely ladies who infuse this place with warmth and charm!

Very comfortable stay and excellent service and food. Rebekah and Molly at the front desk took very good care of me and welcomed me especially as a solo traveller.

Secret Garden Yangshuo, Jiuxian Village, is a wonderful place near the dragon river and moon bridge. Great menu and staff are super friendly and kind. Can arrange pickup from airport or station for a reasonable fee!

Beautiful building and sorroundings, excellent food, overall had a great stay. Highly recommended to international visitors and first timers as the staff will take care of everything for you. A special thanks to the girl at the reception who spoke excellent English and really went out of her way to help me.

This was by far one of the best hotels we stayed at in China. Tucked away in the lush and peaceful landscape, a beautifully restored courtyard with clean and comfortable rooms as well as delicious food (both Chinese and Western). The English-speaking staff was very helpful and assisted with pick-up from Guilin train station, bike rental, sunrise trip to Xianggong mountain etc. There are a few cafés and restaurants around, but no shops. The busy (and somewhat touristy) Yangshuo city center is a 10km bike or taxi ride away. However, we deliberatly opted for mostly staying around the hotel, walking along the river and through the hills. Would definetly recommend!

Fantastic hotel with a lots of historical character and very friendly staff. The owner is lovely and we enjoyed listening to the stories of how the hotel was ideated and built. So much thought has been put in every detail and they really managed to bring the old village houses and courtyards back to life :) Food was delicious and well priced. Location is perfect - very calm and relaxing, yet waking distance to the river and a number of coffee shops/small restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay - we will be back for sure!

Great place for holidays with family. The hotel has several nice corners to relax and it is close enough to many tourist destinations. Special note to the staff, who is lovely and always very helpful

Unterkunft mit besonderem Ambiente. Liebevoll gestaltetes Hotel mit freundlichem und hilfsbereiten Personal. Kosten für Frühstück oder Fahrrad ausleihen sind nicht überteuert (wie es bei Hotels oft üblich ist). Würde die Unterkunft jederzeit weiter empfehlen.
