Guest Reviews
- Michel (9/5): Heerlijk tot rust komen in deze prachtige omgeving. - Het hotel ligt op een prachtige plek naast de rivier. Een klein maar schoon zwembad om op warme dagen af te koelen. Een goed onderhouden tuin. De menukaart is online uitgebreider dan de uitgeprinte versie. Veel heerlijke Chinese gerechten maar ook snacks. Eigenlijk niets.
- Anouk (8/5): Leuk hotel met zeer vriendelijk personeel - Prachtige plek en heel cosy ingericht, alsof je thuis bent Ontbijt keuzes waren beperkt
- Zsolt (9/5): - Modern, western friendly hotel. Helpfull staff. Countryside location.
- jesus (9/5): Personal muy dispuesto a ayudar, e ideal si quieres estar en un entorno junto al rio. - La ubicación estupenda, junto al rio, y con un jardín donde puedes desayunar o cenar, en un entorno muy agradable.
El personal muy dispuesto para ayudarte en lo que necesitas.
- Gazal (5/5): Stay was okay. Place is okay. Rooms are sufficient and spacious for family with kids. - The countryside feel Limited breakfast option for vegetarian, cleanliness around the eating area, many bugs around
- Christian (9/5): Can’t wait to come back - Very nice setting in an outstanding location
- ESTIBALIZ (10/5): - El entorno y la amabilidad de los trabajadores. Que los cafés preparados los tuviésemos que pagar.
- MARIO (10/5): -
- Stephan (10/5): Eine großartige Woche zum Ausspannen - Tolle Lage - sehr abgeschieden vom großen Touristen Rummel. Jede Menge tolle Ausflugs Möglichkeiten. Extrem freundliches & hilfsbereites Personal. Das Restaurant ist OK, aber nichts Besonderes und recht eingeschränkte Auswahl
- Anuradha (10/5): Was a very relaxing stay - Beautifully located property . Staff was very good responsive . I loved my stay Nothing
- Mrigank (9/5): Very nice location with very welcoming staff - The staff is very good and helpful. We stayed here for 2 nights. It is very close to Longtang Port from where it takes 40 min by bamboo raft, and the rafting drops right next to the hotel. The place is 15 to 20 min drive from West street market. Overall if you are looking for a leisurely time, then this place is highly recommended.
- Valeria (9/5): -
- Alexandra (10/5): A fantastic place to stay for couples or families! - This was a beautiful, spacious hotel. The inside was really lovely, the breakfast and restaurant were both good, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One of the mattresses was too firm.
- Tove Bang (8/5): Fint og avslappende område. Likte å gå tur i nærområdet. - Frokosten var god og rikelig. En god del å velge i. Fin utsikt mot bassenget og uteområdet.
- Kjell Jan (9/5): - Rolige og flotte omgivelser. Meget hyggelig og hjelpsomme ansatte. Utmerket til rolige og lærerike fotturer i landskap og blandet landsbyfolket.
- sara (10/5): Hands down a very special place and will hold it dearly in my memories. - Loved EVERYTHING: view, room, bathtub with a view, free bike rental and riding through the countryside, great communication and staff, food was great. If we go back to China, we will stay here for sure.
- Timothe (10/5): -
- Christian (10/5): - Hotel davvero bello, per chi ama la natura e la tranquillità. Il personale parla inglese ed è stato super disponibile per qualsiasi cosa. La stanza era davvero spaziosa e pulita, ed ho mangiato più volte nell'hotel, dato che la cucina era aperta dalla mattina fino alla sera con orario continuato. Servizio al top.
- TAHER (10/5): - Very nice and kind staff Nothing
- Herrmann (10/5): - Beautyful room. Great view. right on the river.
- Roman (9/5): - Отличное местоположение, территория и виды из отеля. Вполне уютно и комфортно. Нам понравилось. Мы с радостью вернемся в этот отель! Двухэтажная кровать для детей немного жестковата. А в одном из ванных комнат протекал унитаз - постоянно лужа на полу.
- Jana (7/5): -
- Rainer (9/5): - Die ruhige Lage ausserhalb der lauten und überlaufenen City. Gute Möglichkeiten zum
Wandern . Toller Pool im Freien
Besonders zu erwähnen ist Maria, die gute Seele von Moondance. Sie hilft wo immer sie kann. Das Bett stand so nahe an der Wand, dass man nur von einer Seite Zugang hatte.
- Richard (10/5): -
- Marc (10/5): Lovely, would definitely recommend! - The staff were exceptional. The property offered many of the popular local activities, but also a nice place to just sit and relax with great views. Great location close to lots of stuff N/a
- marcus (9/5): -
- Nora (8/5): a paradise were you want to stay longer then planned. - All the people in the hotel are friendly, warm and customer focused. Very clean and a good swimming pool. The area is amazing, the food was great, you feel welcome. It was home far away from home. The initial room that we booked has really uncomfortable beds, very hard for your back, even the children were complaining. We were lucky that we could change rooms although we had to move twice the beds were more comfortable in these rooms.
- Javier (9/5): Lugar de descanso perfecto - El personal muy atento y amable. El lugar muy bonito. Por decir algo... había que subir a pulso las maletas, pero nos ayudaron en todo momento.
- Denys (10/5): - We had a great stay! Our kids loved the bunk bed. Everything was clean and there even is a laundry room! The view from the balcony is amazing. The swimming pool was highly favored, especially from our kids. We even could rent bicycles for 20 yuan/day/bicycle and we could explore the surrounding. We can just recommend this place.
If you want to go to the city you need a taxi.
- Mariyam Ushaa (8/5): - The location was perfect and that's best you can see in Yangshou. Free laundry services is perfect. Breakfast was excellent with lot of options. And the staffs are helpful and know English well. Hotel garden is just Breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay.. Hotel looks old and room have some smell..
- Annemiek (9/5): Supermooie en fijne plek buiten de drukte van Yangshuo. - Fijne kamer, prachtige ruime en rustige tuin, goede locatie, heel vriendelijk personeel. Super fijn verblijf hier gehad. Er hadden wat meer ligbedjes rondom het zwembad mogen zijn. Er waren er slechts twee. Verder misschien iets meer keus qua menukaart.
- Delphine (10/5): Endroit charmant et paisible - Super accueil du staff toujours vigilant pour répondre à toutes les demandes. L’endroit est charmant à proximité de la rivière et au calme. Possibilité d’organiser des excursions à la journée. La nourriture est excellente et offre un choix bien plus grand que ce qui est sur la carte en utilisant le menu numérique. Rien
- Lan (10/5): The best stay in Yangshuo with the most beautiful landscape - Everything. The beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Simply drinking a cold beer and nice coffee in the garden, I can easily spend whole days there looking at the beautiful landscape. They organize a lot of nice things for their guests. There's a proper pizza oven too. The floor of the bathroom gets wet completely after shower. It is just an old design and it dried up quickly so it didn't really bother me. They also provide flipflops for this purpose. If they can add more washing machines for the guests, it will be perfect.
- Stine (10/5): - Helt perfekt! Et fantastisk sted til at slappe af og samtidig kunne nyde det smukke landskab. Personalet var hjælpsomme og imødekommende.
- Camila (10/5): -
- Bianca (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Denis (10/5): Amazing place. - Fabulous location. Beautiful house, marvellous garden. Perfect service. Always one or more English speaking staff. Very good breakfast.
Staff is very helpful and friendly.
The room was huge and so well equipped and nicely decorated, with an amazing view. Nice swimming pool.
I regret we didn’t stay longer. Nothing, just perfect.
- Aurélie (9/5): Second time visiting this hotel. The location is very nice and relaxing. Staff is very Nice and helpful. Restaurant is G - Staff was very nice and helpful, The location in the Middle of the Mountain and very close to the river was a ++
- Nathaniel (10/5): wonderful! - Incredibly helpful staff, amazing location, beautiful design, laundry excellent amenity
- Pedro (9/5): Excelente! - Excelente!!
- Vilja (9/5): Superb - Everything! Service was excellent!
- Gin (9/5): Excellent min-shu stay in Yangshuo - The room was excellent as we have a great view of the karst and the river. We enjoyed ourselves in the relaxing environment with bamboo rafting, scenery, great food and easy accessibility with didi travel.
The staff are all very polite, friendly and resourceful with ideas for their guests. I had a problem with the payment and was charged twice on two credit cards. I hope Moondance will resolve the issue with my credit card bank and revert the second charge to me asap.
- Emma (10/5): Relax in beautiful nature - Everything about Moondance Boutique Resort and their sister hotel The Apsara Lodge is WONDERFUL. The environment is so relaxing and peaceful. I stayed here for 7 days on my own in December. It was low season and a little chilly during the days (10°C) but it was so beautiful and restful. The food is excellent. The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I really feel revived after a very long year at work after my break here and I would highly recommend Moondance to anyone who just needs to rest and be still for a while. There are a number of excursions you can book, but I didn't do any of that that. Just went for a couple of local walks up as far as Yulong River and one day got a taxi into Yangshuo town. The rest of the time I just sat on my balcony or in the restaurant or garden or my room and read a book and listened to the birdsong. Nothing. This place is heaven on earth. Enjoy staying here very much. I will come back if I have the opportunity.
- Koovit (6/5): Very relaxing and overall enjoyable, - The staff was very helpful and the views from the hotel are amazing. Using the scooter from next door made getting around really easy. The breakfast was very nice and had enough options to choose from. It seemed that nobody had stayed in our room for a while because the room had a stale smell, even the smell of mould. After we stayed there for a week it got a bit less though.
- Malik (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely loved our stay here. It by far was the most amazing Accomodation we had during our entire China trip. Such a beautiful and relaxing place. The rooms and decoration were beautiful but what made our stay especially unique were the amazing people working there. Monica welcomed us very warmly and Cherry was always there if we needed anything. All other staff were very long and attentive as well. We definitely recommend staying there and would love to come back some time. Thanks again for everything and all the best !!
- Theo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francesca (10/5): Charming and relaxing place - Best places in our trip to China.
Moondance resort have a magnificent location just down by the river, facing the Moonhill, and surrounded by peaceful and relaxing nature.
Food is great, staff is kind, room is very clean and spacious. That’s all you need to have your best experience at Yangshuo.
- Johnny (10/5): Excellent service and Best location - The service was excellent. We stated at Aspara, which is their neighbor hotel under the same management. They helped move the luggage for us when we arrived and when we left. It was a comfortable stay with a toddler. The breakfast was substantial and tasty. Loved the location, since it was away from so many people and right next to the river! It was a very relaxing stay. Even our toddler loved to be there, as they had a children's area. One thing I would have liked is if they provided lotion, but that was very minor. They had everything else, including good toothpaste which we needed.
- Andreja (10/5): Lovely hotel just outside Yangshuo - Staff - very kind and helpful
Location - outside noisy city center and yet easy to get there not applicable
- Laura (9/5): Superb - Best choice to stay in yangshuo! /
- Martin (10/5): Brilliant Place! - hotel is perfect after busy cities in china. if someone wants to chill out: this is the place!!! great staff....
- Victoria (10/5): Paradisical - The location is purely magical - right next to the river with stunning surroundings. We took a bike trip along the river and the views were out of this world. The staff went above and beyond to support us during the stay - so friendly and helpful. They organised countless unforgettable trips for us. The food was also outstanding. I cannot recommend this place enough: it is a little corner of paradise. Nothing. It was perfect.
- Jahan (10/5): Exceptional - The Location was lovely in Yangshuo, very quiet place. The staff was very kind and active. They made sure we had a relaxing time. They even got some fireworks for the new years. Very cozy vibe Nothing
- Marnie (8/5): Beautiful - Beautiful Cost of Activities was unclear and more than initially advised
- Pompeo (5/5): It’s not worth the price. Surrounded by unpleasant buildings close to the road. Not the secluded oasis of peace we had f - Of course large rooms, nice forniture. Over rated
- Feng (10/5): 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.
- Robert (9/5): Comfortable hotel in beautiful surroundings - The hikes in the valleys near the hotel. The rafting on the river Li. The spectacular views from the nearby Moon hill. I got bitten by Mosquitos while hiking. The hotel room was free of mosquitos, the hotel provides an anti mosquito device
- Aurelien (10/5): awesome!!! - location.
- Nicci (10/5): peaceful, relaxing - the peacefulness I didn’t get the room I had thought I’d booked
- Justyna (10/5): Fantastic and relaxing - Very kind and helpful staff, delicious breakfast, beautiful area, garden& the pool, free bicycles, coffee, tea, water, available books. AMAZING! Everything was great, will come back soon!
Suggestions:
1) To limit the use of plastics, consider placing a big bottle water dispenser for guests instead of small plastic bottles.
2) A small fridge in the room would be useful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 在我看来,酒店的位置是最好的!房间窗外尽是美景,房间格局有特色,工作人员热心友好!菜做的也好吃!免费自行车,骑着它,浏览了周边山水,留下了美好难忘的回忆……下次再去,还会选择住在这里。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice stay for family trip! - 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.
- Fernando (10/5): 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!
- charles (2/5): 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.
- michel (8/5): Séjour détente très agréable - Séjour très agréable accueil chaleureux hôtel super bien placé au bord de la rivière un peu loin du centre de Yangshuo (7km) pour les restaurants ,obligé de prendre un taxi.mais restaurant à l'hôtel
- Lars (10/5): Fantastic hotel with fantastic surrounding - We only spent one night, in retrospect I would rather it had been a week.
- john (8/5): 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.
- Tim (10/5): 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.
- Keith (10/5): 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.
- Amit (6/5): 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.
- Mukesh (8/5): 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.
- Debra (8/5): Good hotel right outside of the city - This is a nice hotel right outside of the city. It is quiet and they have a nice pool. There are bikes that you can use free of charge.
- MARIE (8/5): 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.
- harish (8/5): excellent location and rooms were good. - excellent
- Toni (8/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Country side hotel away from city - A bit far away from Guilin City centre. Quite well kept and in good operating conditions.
- Carolyn (8/5): Peaceful - Friendly staff, comfortable room & very good food in a beautiful setting!
- Jenny (8/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 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.
- Jacob (10/5): Fantastisk beliggenhed lidt udenfor byen - Fantastisk venligt og engelsktalende personale.
- Monique (10/5): 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.
- Jacob (10/5): Very sweet people - Fantastic days at the Moondance - would not hesitate to give my best recommendations.
- Phil (10/5): 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.
- Rachel (10/5): Incredible location, great staff, stay here! - My friend and I so enjoyed our recent stay at Moondance. The location was incredible - just a few minutes outside of Yangshuo, right by Goldwater Caves and Moonrock, and with an incredible backdrop of river and mountains. The hotel is more like a guesthouse, which is how I like to travel, so it was perfect. Staff was amazing, spoke great English, and took care of us well. I didn't give full marks for condition/maintenance only because the hotel was under construction while we were there, but it should be done within a month or so. Still worth a stay, even with the hammering!
- Ann (8/5): Idyllic Setting - We stayed 3 nights at Moondance Hotel. I was able to book one room for our stay, but needed another. I contacted the hotel and they offered a more expensive room but offered us free breakfast. The strawberry fields room was big enough for 4 persons (we were 4), but we were not informed of this. We could've cancelled the standard room and stayed in the strawberry fields room if we had wanted to. Anyhow, the rooms were spacious and relatively well-maintained. However, when we returned to the hotel on our second day, we found our rooms as they were when we left them. Nobody cleaned up. Being tired and dying to go to bed, we just ended up asking for new towels and bottles of water. The next 2 days, though, the staff cleaned up. The food was okay, simple but tasty. The staff tried their best to help us plan our activities. Special mention of thanks to Sam, who has truly been helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great location but mediocre service - The hotel is far away from the touristy West Street and located behind the Moon Hill. The view surrounding it and from each room is wonderful. Our room is spacious and pleasant, just like what is described in the website. However, their service is sporadic, depending on which staff member you happen to encounter. In other words, ther service crew lack professional training or are poorly managed. Sam, their front desk guy, appears to be the most friendly person among the entire crew. The worst part of the hotel is their dining service, especially for a hotel located away from the town. My suggestion for other guests is "don't count on the hotel kitchen and solve your dining needs elsewhere". In addition, the pool is full of green algae and the fish pond has no fish.
- AM - traveller (10/5): Intimate & great view! - I arrived at night and was slightly concerned as everything was dark. The experience could only get better....
Lovely staff: Sam & Milly were very hospitable. Sam even helped my discount some items at the market!
Stayed in room 103. I chose this room for the balcony (corner room), which I think might be the best in the hotel. Lovely views of the mountains from my bedroom window in the morning. There's a gorgeous garden too!
The tours were great.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hohe Zufriedenheit - Hotelservice incl. Manager sehr gut, ich habe meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Leider war z. Zt. eine Baustelle unter meinem Zimmerfenster, die Aussicht war dadurch leider unschön. Baulärm war aber nicht vorhanden! Dieses Hotel kann man unbedenklich weiterempfehlen.
- けいこ (10/5): これから人気が出そう! - 場所は月亮山の近くにあるので西街から遠く、西街の散策のあと帰るときに不便です。特に陽朔のホテルはメーターがなく交渉なので(40元渡せばOKでした)。ただ、遠くにある分、静かですし、朝起きたときのプライベートなお庭の景色が最高です。飼っているワンコもかわいすぎる。WIFIIも完備されています。ただ、バスタブは無く、シャワーの水圧は弱いですが、まぁ夜に西街などで足裏マッサージなどをすれば足のむくみもきになりません。ホテルというよりはペンションという感じです。朝ごはんも簡単な西洋スタイルではありますが、中国で出される静養スタイルを思えば合格点。多分経営者が若者だからだと思います。まだできて2年しか経ってないようですが、今後人気がでると思います。
- Kathrine (10/5): Helt fantastisk beliggenhed - Virkelig dejligt hotel med en fantastisk beliggenhed. Vi kan kun anbefale det. Min mand og jeg var der sammen med mine forældre, og det var meget begejstrede. Det bedste sted de har været i Kina. Roligt, smukt og venlige mennesker. Det eneste negative er de ture, som de arrangerer på hotellet. De er ret dyre. Vi havde selv bil med og kørte selv, og fik hjælp af en kineser, som vi kendte til at arrangere vores ture.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Stay - Again - This was the second time we had stayed at Moondance and once again really enjoyed our time there. We left feeling very relaxed, thanks!
- Caroline (10/5): Idyllic location - This was one of our favourite hotels in a longer trip around China. The setting is idyllic, the rooms clean and the bathrooms were luxurious. This is not a chain hotel and was a breath of fresh air because of that, with more character and homeliness. The particular highlights of this hotel were the wonderful breakfasts and the friendly, English speaking staff.
- Bech (10/5): Perfekt pause på rundtur i kina - Lige det vi havde behov for efter 10 dages rundrejse - dejligt hotel, pool, god mad, personale der taler godt engelsk, smukt område, gratis lån af cykler (prøv at cykle en tur bag hotellet - her er noget af det smukkeste landskab vi har set!)
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic place to stay. (Moondance) - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Moondance in May 2013. Very relaxing and friendly. English speaking.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Correcto con encanto - Después de leer todos los comentarios positivos y valoraciones de este hotel quizás me cree demasiadas espectativas.
No tengo nada negativo que decir del hotel pero tampoco lo calificaria de estupendo sino como correcto con encanto lo cual me lleva a opinar que el precio es algo elevado.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Peacful haven set amongst beautiful countryside - Delightful hotel set in beautiful countryside. Homely and very relaxing atmosphere. Delicious food and good selection of bikes to borrow to explore. We had a room with private balcony and views to the beautiful mountains. Very pleasant and helpful staff. We enjoyed it so much we would have loved to have stayed longer.
- Mingxi (10/5): 像一个在阳朔的家 - 一个非常舒适体贴的地方. 住的很随意.吃的很舒服. 我们一家人都比较挑剔,而且众口难调,有四个老人和两个孩子再加我们夫妻. 难得的是,月舞得到了我们的一致好评. 接待人员很亲切实在, 环境有如同在画里一样,吃的也干净卫生. 我们很喜欢这里.
- Scott (10/5): SUBLIME EXPERIENCE! BOOK IT! - O my GOD is this place wonderful. I could go on and on. Definitely my favorite hotel during a two week stay in China. I might even say it's the best hotel value I've had in years. First of all, the staff at Moondance is off the hook. They speak English fluently; they're friendly and courteous and helpful; and they're ALWAYS available. The also make everything ridiculously easy: you can charge excursions, food, even massages, to your credit card. And if you've traveled in China you know this isn't always the case. Next, the rooms are GORGEOUS. Hardwood floors, stone bathroom, beautiful fixtures and other accoutrement. So comfortable. The food? SUPERB. Every meal was delicious, freshly prepared, quick and cheap. And the location of the Moondance can't be beat: a mere 40 RMB cab ride from the center of town, it's i the heart of a quaint village, with breathtaking views. Moon Hill and the Gold Water Cave are both within walking distance, and the Moondance also has free bikes available. In short, I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Next time I'm in China, I will book Moondance for a WEEK. Seriously: Moondance is the best value on the planet, IMHO. Book it!
