Many friends had recommended the Giggling Tree to us as a lovely sanctuary away from the increasingly crowded streets of Yangshuo. We booked very late over a Chinese public holiday, but the team bent over backwards to accommodate us (helping us secure a room in a nearby hotel when we couldn't all fit at the Giggling Tree, but making sure...

My husband and I are completely in-love with Yangshuo's countryside, and staying at The Giggling Tree made it even so much better than we could ever imagine. The price is completely reasonable for such a beautiful guesthouse, very clean and country style rooms and the best service in China. The owners are a very friendly Dutch couple and the local...

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this delightful intimate small hotel in the middle of May. Managed by a most charming, warm , helpful Dutch couple, this beautifully located, comfortable inn offered a real opportunity to relax after a busy, fabulous time in Hong Kong. The setting is idyllic, nestled in the valley of the lush, fabulously sculptured... More

This is a great little spot to base yourself if you are planning on seeing the sights of Yangshuo. It's clean and comfortable and offers conveniences you're not likely to find at other guesthouses. Food is consistently good and great value. It's a bit far out from Yangshuo city center but this is more of a blessing these days. It's... More

Fantastic rural location and atmosphere. Staff were like a large happy family, and their smiles were infectious. It was great to have good English speakers to assist in organising activities and transport. The rental bicycles were in excellent condition, with a pump and puncture repair kit supplied. For travelers keen to experience Yangshuo nightlife, accommodation in Yangshuo itself might be... More
