An amazing hotel in the most beautiful place
We had a very pleasant stay in Moondance hotel. The hotel workers are super friendly and helpful. The hotel is seated in the most scenic place in Yangshuo. The building and the environment combines the beauty of the traditional Chinese architectures and the luxurious comfort of a modern hotel. It is quiet and beautiful and comfortable. Their food is very delicious. We will not hesitate to book the same hotel if we travel here again.
Moondance Hotel is a nice place to explore the beatiful Yangshuo mountain. Our room has a big balcony, My child love this place a lot.The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the hotel and it was delectable.

Great hotel, increadible location, impressive view
I strongly recommend this hotel to everyone that intends to visit Yangshuo. The location is excellent (impressive and dramatic views, by the River and far from the touristy and crowded areas). The staff is great (Good English and always available and helpful -- with big smaile in their faces all the time). Food is great (we had dinner at the hotel 2 evenings and breakfast all mornings): good Chinese food and western cuisine and they have a very good continental breakfast (tosts, eggs, bacon, fruit salad, coffee/tea -- all a la carte).
The building is beautiful and having breakfast with the river and mountaisn view was priceless. Worthy the stay!

Hotel had cold water shower
The hotel was professionally decorated. Really nice taste. Staff was friendly.
Food at hotel was pretty good and prices were fair.
The deal killer for me was about half the time the water ran cold for the shower. This made an otherwise nice place uncomfortable.

Great quiet location with easy access to Yangshuo
Lovely relaxed hotel. Very friendly staff and great quiet location. Roland the owner was very helpful as were all the staff. The only negative point was that the evening meal that we had at the hotel was a bit average and the meat was a little tough. Breakfats were good however and drinks reasonably priced.

Great place to stay
Nice quiet hotel about 3 miles from town. Really large quite rooms. Amazingly beautiful area around hotel. Good breakfast. Staff spoke better English than any of the hotels we stayed at in China. We cannot say enough good things about the hotel and staff.
They helped us arrange a river cruise, show tickets, and taxi to Guilin. All were done to our satisfaction and a more than fair price.

Perfect mix of comfort convenience and hospitality
Perfect place for immersing yourself in Yangshuo's natural scenery, avoiding the tour-bus crowds and keeping logistics/planning to a minimum.
Ryan (especially) and the moondance staff were super friendly/knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located near Moon hill, mud caves and a good starting/ending point for the Yulong River cruises/biking. I'm sure there was more around to do, but that was all we had time to do.
Also to note, food options nearby seemed relatively limited, but this was totally made up for by the hotel's kitchen constantly pumping out delicious Yangshuo favorites.

OK but not really worth the money.
Everybody at the hotel was very nice and really tried to help and make the stay as nice as possible. My only issue was what we got for the price. Our "unforgettable" room was priced at 980 RMB per night. Granted it was a 2 bedroom suite but there was still only 1 bathroom and the room probably was at best a 3 star room. Overall it was nice, but not worth the money. Our bathroom had a very large spider that the staff was unable to actually get rid of as it went into a pipe. I was somewhat nervous the rest of the stay that it would come back out! The food was ok and overpriced as well. Location is out of the way and 15 minutes to downtown. Pool is not very well maintained as lots of cobwebs around it, but my kids didn't care. They did enjoy it after hot days outside.

A week at the Moondance
2 Adults and 2 teenagers spent a very pleasant week here in August enjoying cycling through the karst countryside. Staff especially the manager (Ryan) are particularly helpful. Pool is small but very welcome, rooms are comfortable and menu is adequate.
Would recommend.

BOUTIQUE-HOTEL FAMILIAL
Très chouette établissement, avec beaucoup de charme et une belle architecture, malheureusement un peu éloigné du centre ville de Yangshuo. Mais le gérant est là pour vous aider et faciliter votre visite de la région. Des vélos sont mis à disposition de la clientèle gratuitement. Le petit déjeuner est plutôt simple, seulement 3 choix possibles, et les jus de fruits frais sont excellents (mangue, kiwi, pastèque...). Le restaurant est correct, il faut juste s'assurer de la bonne prise de commande... liée au problème de langue. Anglais parlé, mais pas toujours compris.
Bon à savoir : les taxis ne sont pas chers, nettement moins chers qu'à Guilin. Coût d'un van : RMB 400 le trajet hôtel Yangshuo/hôtel Guilin en passant par l'autoroute, RMB 600 le même trajet en sens inverse mais en traversant les villes car le chauffeur malgré notre demande n'a pas voulu prendre l'autoroute qui est plus rapide.

Would stay here again - especially for relaxation
Excellent small hotel. Great helpful staff with good English & if they can't understand you they quickly find someone that can. Yes there was mould on bathroom ceiling but did I mind - no. This was a well priced hotel with a nice relaxing atmosphere in a humid environment. I would recommend it to people wanting to get away from it all. Good food at hotel didn't miss being in town at all.

Peaceful get-away place
Away from the crowds, it's a serene get-away place, albeit might be difficult to get to. The country inn is tastefully done with much attention to detail. The surrounding is heavenly, peaceful and absolutely beautiful! The restaurant is decent, with both Chinese and western cuisine for guests from domestic and international. Service reflects the well-intention and hard trying of the staff team, though the culture and service sense is behind. Giving the time and persistence, there is no question that it'll become a very popular vacation destination.
A few tips: 1) keep the phone number of the hotel handy when you first try to find the place. 2) ask for a room on the 3rd floor if you are a light sleeper. The floor is thin, people above you might cause sleepless night.

Not bad for a short stay
The hotel receptionists were very nice and friendly, really a good resort place. The rooms and the blankets were very damp and cold, it took a long time (about 10 min) to get warm water for shower. No rack for clothes until you asked for it. I was supposed not to wear shoes on the wooden floor but it seemed that the service lady did not care.

Tolles, familiäres Hotel
Sehr nette Angestellte, die sich um alle Belange zuverlässig kümmern. Tolle Lage des Hotels mit Nähe zu diversen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten von Yangshuo. Frühstück im Preis inklusive (dafür auch von der Menge weniger, unbedingt den Banana Pancake probieren), Abendessen sehr gut und zu moderaten Preisen. Zimmer geräumig und mit eigenem Balkon ausgestattet. Sehr viele Europäische Urlauber, besonders Familien sind in diesem Hotel anzutreffen. Jederzeit wieder, wenn man in der Region Guilin unterwegs ist.

Beautiful relaxing stay
Be sure to get the hotel to arrange a transfer, it's cheaper than getting a taxi from the airport and ensures they'll take the highway direct (approx 1.2 hours) and includes the road toll charges.
I only had 1.5 days here by the time we flew in and out early the last day, but would have liked at least 3 - 7 days so you can do activities also enjoy relaxing at the hotel in the pool.
Activities:
Hotel has free bikes, so definitely ride into the town it's really lovely even in the heat and the roads are pretty flat so you're not having to ride back uphill.
Light show was amazing - take your rain jacket/umbrella in case it rains as you'll get soaked if it rains, as it's an outdoor theatre.
Bamboo raft ride, the mountains/hills are amazing but once you've seen some you don't need a two hour ride (which is on a plastic raft not bamboo by the way), I think 1 hour would be fine. And give you more time to do another activity.
Get a massage! You only need to give the, 1/2 heads up for it and well worth the money.

Little gem
This is a delightful hotel. The facilities are comfortable and adequate. The best feature is the staff, all of whom are friendly and helpful beyond compare, from the owner on down the line. They are also fun in a good way. The only fly in the ointment is that the hotel is distant from the town, but the staff readily arranges transportation to anywhere, and taxis are inexpensive.
