Lanshan Moon Resort

incredible location, nice design, great host, beautiful view, was more than we expected, enjoy the upstairs coffee with an incredible view!

surpassed our expectations

food was great, Mark the owner incredible host, we had a wonderful stay, great view, super comfy, we felt at home!

everything was better than expected

- luxuriously equipped rooms with great view - friendly staff at reception

some of the available services advertised for on 'booking.com' were far below expectation, esp. in view of the room rate which resembles that of high end accommodations: - credit card payment was not possible at the reception upon check-in (I was asked to make credit card payment in another hotel) - canteen-style restaurant for breakfast buffet, western breakfast very poor (no fruit juice, only instant coffee in cardboard cups, cappucino was charged separately) - we were told at the reception that only one bicycle was availabe for rent

The main attractions of Lanshan Wangyue Hotel are the outstanding location in a village not too far from the town of Yangshuo, but with a feeling of old rural China and magnificent unobstructed view of the karst peaks in all directions; and the friendly service by the owners, Mark Ma, Li Wu and Siwei, and their hard-working and helpful staff. Additionally, the rooms are commodious and offer full views-- distant mountains from the front, the village and close mountains on the back side. The beds are new and great for sleeping, plus the rooms have good insulation and are very quiet. The proprietors find out what the guests wish to do, and custom arrange and lead excursions into the surrounding countryside. In an area that has lots of tourists (almost all domestic Chinese), they can take guests on bike trips or hikes to places that no one else visits. Ask them to take you on the half hour climb up to the old Qing Dynasty bandits lair in a cave high above the surrounding countryside, or to one of the ancient villages in the area. So much to see and do in the area, with some of the finest scenery in China.

Could have used a better reading chair in my room, and a hair drier in the bathroom.

The owner of the hotel, Mark is a unique person! It creates a very kind atmosphere in the hotel. In two days, it was as if we had become one big family. Mark spent a lot of time with us. We traveled a lot to beautiful places that not everyone knows and that not all tourists visit. Mark has become my brother over the past few days. These were the most exciting and eventful days of our entire trip to China. I didn't expect such care. We will definitely come back to this hotel.

The hotel and its rooms correspond to the descriptions and photos. The Lanshan Moon Hotel (now Fairyland Hotel) is in an excellent location in beautiful nature. Many places of interest (Moon Hill, caves, ancient villages, bicycle routes etc.) are very close, but also Yangshuo is only 13 minutes away by car. But the best thing about the hotel is host and hotel manager Mark, who speaks good English and knows the area very well; he can organize individual excursions, scooters and bicycles and gave us tips for activities every day. In addition, individual dishes can be prepared in the kitchen on request. All in all, we spent a wonderful vacation there!

According to the description on this page there is a kitchen and coffee mashine in the room, but that is not the case (the room only provides the posibility to prepare tea).

[highly recommend Mark's place. The situation is amazing (great view and not too close from Yansghuo and its intense traffic, so quiet and peaceful, though with easy access). Fairyland hotel is comfortable with big rooms. The room had a great view and the bed was comfy !You share a lovely garden (with flowers and healthy vegetables -no pesticides!) with others guests, perfect for a beer at sunset. Last but not least, The hotel's staff are very enthusiastic ,very kind host, very thoughtful, who will show you all the secret treasures of this beautiful countryside. He's also a great cook: I don't eat meat but tasted a lot of different dishes, so delicious. I was travelling alone for a month and had the most incredible experience there. With Mark and his friends I discovered places I would never have been, shared great moments bicycling, fishing, climbing mountains, dining or playing cards. I will stay there next time for sure and I'm looking forward to :)

Our best vacation ever. Jack Li is very special person. He let you all the freedom you need but at the same time he is always there with his extraordinary hospitality. Jack Li was also cooking for us breakfast and dinners. We had always access to the kitchen, so you see the way he cook is very healthy, buying the food from local agricultors on the market or even using his own vegetables. Our kids had a lot of fun with his animals and Jack Li always let them freely play on the garden. Strongly recommended for families with small kids.
