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

As there were three of us we choice the chalet option and found it great value. Main bedroom with sitting area, large bathroom and twin room with balcony off. Worked perfect for us, great facilities and nice & quiet. Although at the time of year we went the terrace area was not used because of the weather so not sure... More

We're two couples and booked a family suite since they do not have any other room left. The room is spacious. Not spotless clean but good enough if you're not looking for 5 star hotel standard. The most amazing thing is the location. The hotel is located in north of Yangshuo town surrounded by mountains and trees. There is nearly... More

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights on a trip to see the sights of Yangshuo. We had been booked into another hotel in town but after reading the review on TA we decided to change at the last minute. We were very impressed with the whole deal. 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

Overall our stay in the Yangshuo Village Retreat was like the other reviewers’ – quiet and very relaxing. We got off to a bad start when we were offered a double room which had mould over the ceiling. When we complained to the front desk we were told we would either have to pay to upgrade or get a slight... More
