The Hidden Dragon Village is a beautiful building in an old style in the heart of nature. The hotel overlooks the river and all the peaks, and is a nice, quiet getaway from the very touristy Yangshuo town. The views are definitely some of the best ones we got. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They booked us excellent seats for the Impressions Light Show, tickets for the water cave, etc. all at face value / cost (e.g. there is no booking mark-up - it's simply a service they offer). This was easy for us, because we got a receipt from the hotel and simply exchanged the receipt for a ticket at the ticket office. We also booked a massage with them, and the massage therapist was EXCELLENT and came to the hotel. We were there during low season, and the staff were all very welcoming and often played with our 6 month old, who was traveling with us. The staff also helped us with some late night rides to a nearby restaurant another night, because we were traveling with a baby. The rooms are nice and there was clearly thought that went into the materials and decorations. They're not luxury accommodations, but they are clean and have all the basic necessities. We stayed during the off season, during one of the coldest weeks of the year, and the AC unit had trouble keeping our room very warm. But if you're not traveling in the dead of winter, this likely won't be an issue. There's also a great booklet in the rooms with tons of tips for all of the Yangshuo sites & activities

Stunning Scenery
This hotel is located in a small village area which was a nice change from the cities we stayed in elsewhere in China. It iis a little isolated but you can walk to restaurants in another area about 10 minutes away. The hotel was quiet and relaxing and the views outside the windows are amazing.

Personalized service every step of the way
Stayed in this hotel for four days, and the dedication to customer service of the staff is outstanding. We got to know Elle and Lyn and Jerry even before arriving as we had so many questions about the hotel and how to plan our vacation in Yangshuo. They spoke good English and helped us every step of the way from picking us up at the Yangshuo train station to planning our itinerary each day and then bringing us to the Guilin train station for our trip home.

A rare quiet corner of China
Guilin is a beautiful city of 4 million; Yangshuo is a quaint city of 2 million; but Ji Wo Du village is a gem in the countryside. The Hidden Dragon Villa overlooks one of the most stunning views in this region of stunning views. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The facilities are charmingly old-Chinese, with modern touches. It is just out of the way, but not far from Yangshuo (5 km) and there are plenty of restaurants in the village. There are also lots of modes of transportation (i.e., electric scooters, bikes and car services by phone). It is right near the river so even walking to more beautiful views is an option. It is not in the city, or full of shopping - but we liked it that way. We hope to be back!

Beautiful view, Good for biking
This was a very nice stay. I had the room with a view and it was beautiful even though it rained the entire time. The bathroom is a bit dated but the hotel is a bit like Yangshuo’s version of a bed and breakfast, meaning it gives you a historical authentic feel. The workers are very nice and helpful. The area is a bit far from city central but is a great place to bike from. Moon hill and the yulong river are within biking distance. There are beautiful paths near by. If you’re interested in the city you should budget money for the taxi but if you do what I did you can stay here a couple of nights to bike around the country side and then book the rest of your nights near the city.

Fantastic quiet hotel!
Hidden Dragon was a fantastic small hotel. The staff were very helpful and kind. Free laundry facilities which was great for our stay. Dont go past the dumpling siup for breakfast in the restaurant, top notch! The hotel was in a fantastic location away from the hustke and bustle of west st in Yangshuo town. The town was a short 40 yuan cab ride away. Local restaurants just around the corner. We also made great use of the hotels bike hire facilities. Great stay! Thanks HiddenDragon!

Too difficult to get to and from
The view is absolutely stunning, however, the rooms have no soundproofing what so ever. Also because the county restricts road access to Hidden Valley to local vehicles only frpm 7am to 7 pm it's a real nuisance to get to and from the hotel.

Stunning outlook in quiet Yangshuo retreat
You'll stay at the Hidden Dragon for the spectacular view - from the rooftop restaurant +bar, and many of the (front*) rooms. But the welcome +care from the staff makes it an especially pleasant stay. Lily and team do all they can to make sure their guests have the best experience of Yangshuo, from the pre-arrival information email, the refreshment on arrival and comprehensive advice about excursions +sights. All front desk staff speak some English. The hotel is about 10 minutes from Yangshuo town, though it takes longer if your driver gets lost, so be sure to get the Chinese address from the hotel, prior to taxi (fare should be about ¥40). You'll cross a bridge, turn left into a drive, then veer left below another hotel entry, before seeing the hotel on the right. If you want to spend a lot of time in town, you may prefer to stay somewhere less isolated. However, as a quiet, and beautiful biking base, close to Moon Hill and other attractions, this is good. Also worth mentioning is the architecture +decor, which aims to recreate Ming/Qing era style. In short, it's a beautiful base from which to explore the Yangshuo region, especially if you want somewhere quiet, away from the tourist crowds. (*Front rooms have the view... Hills are also visible from the rooms at the back, though some nearby low-level construction noise was audible... I'm not sure how ongoing this is).

It's why you go to Yangshuo
This hotel is so delightful. It is full of character. I booked it because of the photo, so here's an update. The old photo was taken across the street from the hotel, I've included a couple from the roof bar and restaurant. People go to Yangshuo for the Karst landscapes and you'll see it here, I counted 91 formations around the view. There are 20,000 in Yangshuo and 70,000 in the district. Ok the hotel is an old Chinese house. The basics are great, bed comfy, my ac didn't work, there is plenty of hot water. The girls who work here Helen, Lily and Elle are fantastic and go out of their way to assist. I spent 8 days here and they all thought it was funny, but there's lots to do. The Light Show, strolling around Yangshuo, doing a cooking class and making beer fish and the climb (for me at 67) up to Xiangang lookout is unreal and I've been to150 countries! Finally the restaurant is fantastic cheap with lots of choice and what a view! I couldn't go past the sizzling beef, fried rice and dumplings with a beer 18 AUD! You will enjoy this place.

Excellent hotel, amazing staff, quiet location
The hotel itself was wonderful. The staff speaks better English than staff at any other hotels at which I stayed throughout China. The bed was very comfortable and not hard like the rest of Asia. The staff were patient and kind and helpful. They made sure I had all the information I needed for the local area, and one lovely staff member even walked me around town a bit after her shift - she showed me how to catch the local bus near the hotel to get into town, and then she walked me to West Street - the main touristy area; extra special service!! There is a rooftop restaurant at the hotel that's open for breakfast and dinner, and they offer a lovely/extensive menu. The hotel is a ways out of town, but because of that it is quiet and quaint. The views are amazing. It costs about 30-40 RMB to get a taxi to the hotel, or you can take the bus which is 3 RMB. I loved my stay here, thanks to the staff who really made me feel welcome!

Convenient for Yulong River bamboo rafting etc.
Quick overnight stop. Negotiated a 300 RMB taxi ride to the hotel with a driver outside Guilin Airport (plus a few more RMB in expressway tolls, which the driver asked me to pay as we went along, because I directed the driver to take the toll road). (Note that if you have directions to hotel coming from Yangshuo instead of Guilin, those directions refer to the Gongnong Bridge, and require you to turn left at an intersection about 100 feet AFTER the bridge. Our taxi approached in the other direction, so we needed to make a right turn 100 feet BEFORE the bridge.) We got in way before check-in time, around 9:45 a.m., but the woman at the front desk had our room ready by 10 a.m. at no extra charge. She spoke English fluently and gave us instructions on how to get on the bus to Yangshuo. For the Yulong River bamboo raft ride, she swiped my credit card for 200 RMB per person (government fixed price) to book a timed ride (about 90 mins long) from near the Chaoyang Dock back to the Gongnong Bridge that is about a 5-mins walk from the hotel. I paid the hotel car driver 50 RMB for a ride to Chaoyang Dock. When we got there, the driver picked up our tickets from the booth and pointed us to the dock area where they assigned us to a raft and boatman.

Nice view, very courteous staff
We got the cheaper room without the view. It was fine, but guess getting the ones with a view would've been worth it too. Their rooftop restaurant and terrace have a great view. We rented out bikes and went around the Yanshuo area biking, it's one of the best off road trails you can ever experience. Staff helped us figure out their laundry machine (free) and catch a cab to the train station with very reasonable prices, so did not feel ripped off as was the case in the village where everyone is trying to make a buck off a tourist. Overall, we had a very nice 3 day stay in this hotel

A beautiful place to relax
The hotel arranged a taxi to pick us up and take us back to the train station. All went well we upgraded our original room to a room with a view which was well worth it! Gorgeous views of the mountains. And although you can't see the river there pond s in front that give the illusion of water. We ate at the restaurant since there isn't a lot very close by and it was very good. The customer service was excellent at both the reception and restaurant. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely hotel, wonderful location.
This is a really lovely hotel. We stayed for 3 nights in Oct. 2016 and I'd totally recommend this hotel to anyone. The rooms are relatively basic but have everything you need, and most importantly are very clean and tidy. I certainly couldn't complain about anything about either the room or the hotel. I would say that all the photos already on Expedia are truly representative of the hotel. The hotel has a rooftop terrace and restaurant that have the most wonderful views overlooking the Yulong River (a branch off the Li river but in the same region) and looking out over incredible karst peaks of limestone mountains that the Guilin region is famous for and lovely paddy fields. We would often sit for several hours each evening on the terrace just reading and enjoying the wonderful views as the sun went down. The food in the restaurant is superb and very reasonably priced and we ate at the hotel for both breakfast and dinner each day and would have continued to have done even if staying here for a week. I want to give special mention to all the staff at the hotel who were all an absolute delight. They were all very friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The 2 girls who staffed reception throughout the whole day and night both spoke great English and always gave their time to assist with anything we needed, and were both always lovely to talk to. If going to this region of China again this would be my first choice of hotel.

Pleasant Hotel with friendly Staff
Pleasant stay a little outside of Yangshuo which is ideal to get out of the busy city center. Great place for bicycle rental, bamboo canoeing and other outdoor activities. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful in organizing transport, sightseeing, tickets for evening show etc.

Small hotel in a beautiful landscape
The hotel is located close to the mountains with a marvelous scenery around but you need taxi to go to Yangshuo. The personnel is very attentive

Lovely retreat just outside of Yangshuo
Very lovely location just outside of town but close enough to bike to. View was beautiful overlooking the karst mountains and rice fields. Staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and went the extra mile to make my stay just perfect.

Highly recommend
Thank you to the lovely ladies of Hidden Dragon Villa who made our stay so wonderful. Jasmine, Shadow and the night receptionist (thick so sorry I can't remember your name) helped us with all our booking needs and to have a very memorable birthday. The hotel is in the perfect location to access the scenic areas of yulong river and away from the main town. Would highly recommend this hotel and the restaurant food is delicious too. Thank you hidden dragon villa we hope to visit again one day!

Great Location with Views
Quiet location. Nice clean rooms. Fabulous views from restaurant and roof top bar. Walking distance from Scenic Area attractions or for bus to Yangshuo. Great bikes to hire right on premises. Friendly English speaking staff and great Chinese or western meals.

Great place to stay, recommended.
Stayed here in April 2016 for two nights. A great place to stay, place is clean & comfortable, people friendly, and a reasonable price. This place has character, not some bland concrete cubicle. No elevator, for us no problem. Room AC worked well when needed, big open windows the rest of the time. Our room had a beautiful view. A 5 minute walk to Big Banyan Tree Park. I'll stay here again when we return.

Amazing hotel.
My son and I loved staying at the Hidden Dragon Villa earlier this May. It felt like a home away from home. The staff is so friendly, the food is very good, and the rooms are clean and beautifully decorated. We can't wait to come back to Yangshuo.

Wonderful countryside hotel
The hotel is in a beautiful building and some rooms have magnificent view. The style is rustic and simple - very nice to see such a place in China. Staff speaks good English and they are very friendly and helpful. The location is outside of Yangshuo, a car (taxi) is needed to get there. Hotel can arrange you a driver even for the whole day - the one we had was very nice and spoke sufficient English. Hotel can also rent you bicycles, arrange tickets, recommend places to go to etc.

Quiet and Scerene, tucked away
This is acute boutique type hotel. Very clean. The views are beautiful. Staff are all friendly and speak very good English. The location isn't close to "downtown Yangshuo" but taxi is cheap. We rented bikes and rode it along the river close by. It is in walking distance to some restaurants. The hotel restaurant meals were okay, I would recommend eating dinner there; it's cheaper to eat downtown Yangshuo. It's 1hr from the new Yangshuo station, about 3 hrs from Guilin by taxi. About 45 min from the Li River. Just make sure you have cash! Foreign Credit card is not used in China. 3 days was more then enough. I am glad I picked this hotel!
