Homestays w: Qinghai, China

„Beautiful hotel with a nice courtyard, coffee, and nice staff. It was easy to check in as a foreigner, and we enjoyed a lot our 2 nights here. The room was big and well distributed. The hotel is not far from the city center and many small supermarkets close to the hotel.”

„I stumbled upon this hotel on Ctrip and was captivated by its setting from the first sight. Upon arrival, the experience far exceeded my expectations! The hotel is nestled in the mountains surrounding Jianzha County. The view from your room feels like you're stepping into a Windows background. Opening the door, you'll be greeted by vast, rolling grasslands, dotted with herders' homes. Every morning, a herd of yaks leisurely ”visits” the hotel, foraging on the grass. Besides the yaks, you can also spot eagles soaring through the windows. While enjoying breakfast, I was even lucky enough to witness this nationally protected species strolling through the hotel grounds. At night, ascending to the rooftop, the starry sky feels almost within reach; it's said that on new moon nights, the Milky Way can be clearly seen stretching across the sky with the naked eye. The nearby Kanbula Forest Park is a treasure trove of wonders. The awe-inspiring experience is beyond words, like stepping into Middle-earth from ”The Lord of the Rings.” The hotel's service is equally astonishing. Aside from the owner, the staff are mostly friendly ******* men and women. From the moment we arrived, they enthusiastically recommended nearby restaurants and attractions. During our stay, they were incredibly responsive, going above and beyond to meet our every need, sharing any special sights they discovered. The entire hotel exudes a customer-centric, attentive atmosphere and a warm, personal touch. A special mention must go to the front desk attendant, Leng Ben, who was not only welcoming and attentive, but also meticulously prepared drinks for us when we requested to use the bar, chatted with us about local culture and interesting stories, and even worked late into the morning without complaint. The only caveat is that the mountain road can be quite bumpy, so novice drivers should exercise caution. In short, for anyone with a confident driving aptitude, this hotel is highly recommended! If your travel route takes you nearby, it's a no-brainer! The hotel itself and the stunning surrounding scenery are worth a dedicated trip.”

„To nie tylko hotel i pensjonat międzynarodowy, ale także muzeum, a nawet świątynia – prawdziwa oaza spokoju dla poszukujących duchowego wyciszenia. Spało się tu naprawdę spokojnie. Przyjechaliśmy późno, a mimo to przygotowano dla nas kolację, która była wyjątkowo smaczna. Pani w recepcji była zarówno urodziwa, jak i niezwykle gościnna. Przy wyjeździe podarowano nam placki z jęczmienia tybetańskiego (qingke). Kupiliśmy też kilka innych chlebków maślanych, które sama upiekła poprzedniego wieczoru – były przepyszne!”

„The hotel opened this year. The room is large and the decoration is very high-end, which meets my aesthetic taste. The whole house is smart, the lights and curtains can be voice-controlled, there is also a smart toilet, the projection image quality is very clear, and we also watched a movie at night. The bed is very clean and soft, and there are washing machines, refrigerators, and induction cookers. The hotel is only a few minutes' walk from Wanda. There are also many delicious foods around the hotel, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. Maybe because of the altitude, the bath water is a little small, and the full-body mirror at the door of the bathroom is a funhouse mirror, which makes me happy. Everything else is great! It's a pity that we have to rush the schedule, otherwise we will definitely stay a few more nights.”

„The shower was broken, the sink was leaking and there was water on the floor all the time. However, both could be used. Downstairs there’s a restaurant and it was very noisy, but got quieter after at 10 pm. WiFi connection was good. A great advantage of this hotel is the location right next to the lake which is very convenient. Therefore, it’s a good option for a one night stay.”

„晚上十點多到的民宿，無意中在院裏抬頭，看到了漫天繁星點點，很浪漫。老闆很熱情，迎我們進去，幫忙搬行李。屋裡乾淨舒適，特別暖和。小姐姐幫忙打開製氧機，讓我們吸氧。一晚好眠，開打窗簾，綠油油的草地上有牛羊成羣嬉戲玩耍。早晨6點起床在樓梯間看青海湖日出，眼前是橘色的湖面，身後是綠綠的草原，風光旖旎而浪漫，讓人心曠神宜。老闆人很好哦，我們車壞了還幫忙找修車師傅，幾次提出幫我們洗車。朋友！來吧！你會喜歡這裏的！”

„這次行程裏最驚喜的一晚住宿，真的超出預期！ 窗外有開闊的草原，湖邊風景特別治癒，温順的小馬和小羊，和小動物近距離接觸的體驗太難忘了。 店裡的咖啡口感也很贊，在房間露台喝着咖啡看風景，氛圍感拉滿。 房間地暖很足，温暖又舒服，整體環境乾淨整潔。 能住在這樣有湖有小動物的地方，實在太美好，是此行非常難忘的一晚。”

„The environment of the inn is impeccable. You can see the grassland when you open the curtains. However, the facilities are not very clean. There is sand on the bed and a lot of dust on the bedside table. You have to wait for half an hour for the water heater to finish one wash. There is no phone in the room and the inn has no front desk, so the projector cannot be used. You can only walk to the bar in the cold wind to find someone, which is not very convenient.”

„The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, with easy access to shopping and dining. It's right next to a Wanda Plaza. The rooms and facilities are new, clean, and hygienic. It's especially quiet at night, allowing for a good night's sleep, so I, who have trouble sleeping, decided to extend my stay. Parking is on the street downstairs, and because we arrived late and couldn't find a spot, the owner came down twice to help, moving his own car for us. The owner and front desk staff were very kind. 👍 There's also a large convenience store on the first floor with a full range of daily necessities. The beef and lamb in Xining are amazing! Before leaving, we bought some, and the owner kindly froze it in the hotel's freezer for us to take home the next day. We were very grateful. Speaking of food, there's a night market downstairs that stays open very late. We arrived late that day and ate there. We found a small shop called ”Harbin Mala Tang” and ordered clay pot rice noodles and Mala Tang, both of which were delicious and inexpensive. My daughter said it was better than Zhang Liang's. While eating, we heard a story: a delivery guy accidentally spilled some food while delivering to their shop, so he went back and bought a replacement to compensate the customer. The owner of this small mala tang (spicy hot pot) shop told the delivery driver, ”If this happens again, just tell me. I can forgo the money the shop makes, saving you a few yuan. You only earn so little in this sweltering heat...” Wishing this little shop booming business! I think Xining must be a warm city, where we encounter one heartwarming scene after another. This was just a brief stopover, but I'll definitely make a special trip back next time...”
