Homestays w: Gansu, China

The location of the homestay is good, the window is a beautiful view, and you can enjoy a slow life when you sit in the room. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the decoration is warm and comfortable. It is definitely a good choice for travel. It is more worth mentioning that the boss and his wife operate with care, sincere and kind, and enjoy washing and drying for the guests, and relieve the trouble of the journey. If you have the opportunity to come to Zhagana again, you will still choose this homestay!

I came for the beautiful public decor and the desert dune view, and it did not disappoint! The stay was also very comfortable; the cleaning staff did an excellent job, making for a super great experience. It's very close to the Mingsha Mountain parking lot, making access to and from the scenic area very convenient. Getting to Mogao Grottoes in the morning was also quick, only a 20-minute drive! The environment is peaceful, and it happened to be sunny during my two-day stay. This location, free from city lights, offers a crystal-clear view of the stars – perfect for stargazing enthusiasts! It's also not far from the city center, about a 10-20 minute drive if you're self-driving. Breakfast is usually at 8 AM, but they were also able to provide an early packed breakfast for us when we needed to leave early. Overall, I'm very satisfied!

If life is a never-ending journey, then the camping trip at the Desert Star Hotel is undoubtedly a highlight of my journey. When I arrived at the campsite, the first thing that attracted me was the unique tent house. Unlike regular tents, the top of the tent is made of special transparent materials, like a huge viewing platform, which builds a bridge of communication between me and the vast galaxy. As night fell, I couldn't wait to lie on the soft bed, and when I looked up, the bright starry sky was presented to me without reservation. The stars twinkled, like gems inlaid on the black sky, beautiful as a dream. At that moment, the world seemed to press the mute button, and the impetuousness and noise in my heart were instantly soothed. The unique beauty of this quietness made me intoxicated. It is worth mentioning that the hotel staff is very considerate. After placing the order, the customer service guy at the front desk added our contact information and gave us some local travel tips, which saved us a lot of time. From the warm reception at check-in, to the careful guidance during the activities, to the warm greetings at night, every detail made people feel cared for. They not only provided me with thoughtful service, but also made me feel the simplicity and enthusiasm of the desert people. This desert camping trip not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificent scenery of the desert, but also experienced exciting and interesting activities, which became an eternal and beautiful memory in my heart.

Very satisfied! The bed was super comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. It's right next to the desert, which is cool. Xiao Yi's service was excellent, she was always ready to help with anything. I'm really happy with this trip and will definitely choose to stay here again next time.

This was the most pleasant surprise among all the hotels we stayed at during our 10-day trip to Qinghai and Gansu. The starry sky theme and its intricate details are incredibly well-executed, with new discoveries around every corner. You can really tell the owner poured their heart into creating this hotel. The decor and amenities are also excellent, with every room featuring a smart toilet and a starry sky projector. Most importantly, the service is outstanding! They offered pickup from the station and proactively shared a wealth of knowledge about Dunhuang. Since the owner used to be a tour guide for over ten years, they truly know everything! They also provided many travel tips and itineraries. We booked the astronomy mini-class, which was very interesting. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on both days of our stay, so we couldn't see many stars.

My classmate and I stayed at this newly opened B&B while he was in Dunhuang for a marathon, and it was such a pleasant surprise! **Facilities:** Everything is brand new, the room amenities are complete, and the hardware quality is excellent – it was a real pleasure to use. **Cleanliness:** The room was meticulously cleaned, the entire place was spotless and odor-free, making for a very comfortable stay. The bathroom, in particular, felt incredibly welcoming upon entering. My first impression was how exceptionally clean it was. As someone who's a bit of a clean freak, I absolutely loved this. **Ambiance:** The B&B is absolutely beautiful, exactly the kind of vibe I like – a desert Silk Road style. The environment is quiet and serene, with no noise, making for a truly relaxing stay. **Service:** The service was thoughtful and attentive. They even prepared臊子面 (Sauteed Noodles with Minced Pork) for breakfast, homemade by the proprietress. It tasted just like home cooking; I haven't had anything this delicious in ages! The owner was incredibly warm and enthusiastic, responding to any requests immediately. The service was exceptional. What made me happiest was that the owner upgraded our room and even gave us some local fruit for free! Highly recommend! Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up!

The room is very clean, with 24-hour hot water. The owner and his family are very nice and welcoming. There are welcome fruits grown by themselves, and the food is also delicious. It is a very good inn👍👍

The hotel is located within Mati Temple, and you can drive right up to it and park next to the building. The hotel itself is very new, boasting a Tibetan-style exterior and a reception area adorned with beautiful photos of animals and birds, along with Thangka paintings, which you can take your time admiring. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and even upgraded our room to the second floor, helping us with our luggage. The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable, featuring a balcony and excellent cleanliness with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. Here's the best part: in the morning, the hotel arranges for guests to go see marmots and blue eared pheasants, and as a bonus, we got to see the Thirty-Three Caves VIP-style – no crowds, no congestion, just pure enjoyment! You can also drive your car in designated areas, and the entrance ticket covers the sightseeing shuttle fee.

When booking the hotel, I specifically checked other guests' reviews. It still exceeded my expectations. The guesthouse isn't located on the main street, but in an alley, near the Wuzelinka ******* Restaurant. We arrived at the guesthouse on the evening of the 2nd, and it was snowing that night. The owners and their family came out to pick us up—they were incredibly friendly! The two-story rooms were both very clean. Our electric blanket broke, and they bought us a new one the next day. They also always let us know before we went out or when we returned. Breakfast was home-style, with millet porridge, white eggs, etc. On my second day, I caught a cold and experienced some altitude sickness, and the guesthouse owner gave us medicine! In short, I recommend this guesthouse to everyone visiting Xiahe! The only downside was that our trip was a bit rushed, so I didn't take many photos of the guesthouse.

The room was very clean and tidy, the owner was very nice, and the surrounding facilities were complete. I recommend staying here.
