We visited this hotel during a hike we made in the neighbourhood. We were very impressed by the kindness of the staff, in particular Faye. We had a major problem with a bambooraft trip. She took care of us and made our day by her selfless help. Thank you again Faye. The hotel is a beautiful old building and we... More

I don't know how they do it, but the owners and staff in this comfortable little hotel made you feel comnpletely at home - deep in the heart of rural China. Beautiful location - quite isolated - a taxi (40 yuan) or a 7 km bike ride rental (15 yuan per day) to the very lively tourist centre of Yangshuo,... More

We stayed here for 4 nights, and it was an inordinately charming experience. Secret Garden's driver picked us up from Guilin airport, and after passing through Yangshuo, wound through progressively smaller roads until we were trundling along unpaved rural paths which suddenly opened up onto a series of beautifully lush fields, with a couple of Yangshuo's signature karst knolls about...

The hotel was just great- i will never forget the lemon chicken, breakfast and fresh orange juices. We have lost the milk bottle of our 20months old sun in the taxi, he refused to drink a milk from any other glass or bottle since childrens' bottle you can not buy in the area. Untill we offered him your home made... More

We had a great trip to Guilin and Yangshuo over Easter 2013, with 4 nights at the Secret Garden. It did not take long for Faye and team to make our family (3 children- 9, 7 and 5) to feel at home in this small hotel. The food was great with a mixture of Chinese and western food so there... More

We were very happy that we could book at least one night in this beautiful hotel in a historical building with super friendly staff. It was an experience to never forget. The rooms are so clean and tidy and so cute. The atmosphere so cosy. It was our starting point to discover the area by bike. The restaurant dishesbare excellent... More

While off the beaten track, this hotel represents what traveling to remote China is all about. Rather than staying in town, this is a much preferred location if you are one to some tranquility, waking up in the morning to birds chirping and cockerels crowing. Secret Garden exudes the old China rustic charm of village living but with modern day... More

I can't recommend this place enough. It is located off the beaten path, in a quiet remote village, in a restored and very charming 200 yr old brick structure, with terraces, water gardens and quaint sitting areas. The staff are amazing. The food, exceptional. They will take care of all your needs. This not a modern facility( no tv... but... More

We chose this hotel from recommendations on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. Situated outside of the main town of Yangshuo in a small village, the Secret Garden is a perfect place to get away from it all. Faye, Peter and all the staff make you feel welcome as soon as you set foot inside. They are always more... More
