voco Guilin Yangshuo is a compact, contemporary hotel set in the farmland of the Ten Mile Gallery, the stretch of countryside between Yangshuo town and the Yulong River where the limestone peaks rise straight out of rice fields and water buffalo wade through the shallows. With only around eighty rooms, it feels much more intimate than the large chain hotels in town, and its outdoor pool, garden, terrace and playground make it a pleasant place to return to after a day on the river. The hotel also has a restaurant, a café and a bar, so you can eat without leaving the grounds. This is a good choice for travellers who came for the scenery rather than the nightlife. You wake up to views of the karst peaks, you can walk to the Yulong River in a few minutes and the quiet lanes around the hotel are ideal for cycling. At the same time, West Street and the Impression Liu Sanjie show are a short drive away, so you can combine a peaceful base with an evening in town. It works well for couples, families and small groups who want comfort and space without the formality of a luxury resort.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Ten Mile Gallery area. The Yulong River scenic area is roughly an eight-minute walk away, the Impression Liu Sanjie show is about a seven-minute drive and Yangshuo West Street is about nine minutes by car. Guilin Liangjiang airport is around an hour away by road, so a pre-arranged transfer is the easiest way to arrive. Because the hotel is in the countryside, you will use taxis, hotel transport or hired bikes for dinner in town, so plan your evenings in advance.
Rooms
There are around eighty rooms and suites, designed in a modern style with comfortable beds, large windows and bathrooms with showers, and many look out on gardens or the surrounding peaks. Higher floors and mountain-view rooms are worth requesting if the scenery matters most to you. Family rooms offer extra space, but room types and bed options vary, so check them when you book.
Who it suits
Couples looking for a relaxed countryside stay, families who want a pool and a playground, cyclists and walkers who plan to explore the Yulong River by bike or on foot, and anyone who prefers a quiet setting to a town-centre hotel. It is less suited to guests who want to walk to bars and restaurants in the evening, or who rely on public transport. West Street and the show are easy by taxi, but transfers add to the cost.
Good to know
The hotel has an outdoor pool, a gym and free self parking on site, as well as a restaurant, a café and a bar. Breakfast is usually charged separately unless it is included in your rate. Check-in is normally in the afternoon and check-out around midday, and policies on children, extra beds, pets and airport transfers vary. Yangshuo is busiest around national holidays and in autumn, when rates rise, so book early. Rain and mist can hide the peaks, so keep your plans flexible.
