Homestays in Gansu, China

The room is great, and the amenities are well worth the price. The cleaning staff (Ayi) is very warm and helpful, accommodating special requests for tidying up. It would be even better if the balcony were cleaner and had outdoor furniture like a table and chairs. The front desk concierge was also quite enthusiastic.

I booked a basic room, and luckily, there were still rooms available that day, so the butler upgraded me. The tent is really picturesque for photos. The good mood I got upon entering the room compelled me to write a review about the butler! Before check-in, the butler proactively contacted me, informing me that the room included one fixed-point airport transfer. They also told me about the weather, helped me plan my itinerary and offered travel advice, and even recommended Dunhuang Print Shop for a visit. During my stay, the butler always responded instantly (except when they were picking up/dropping off guests, which I totally understand if replies were a bit slower). Even when I returned very late at night, a butler was still there. The front desk also left a phone number. I talk a lot and can be long-winded, haha, but they patiently answered all my questions. Huge thanks to the Shazhou Wild Luxury Camp butler team for making a solo female traveler feel so welcome and cared for. I will definitely be back next summer. I highly recommend it to every young lady looking for quality and experience – come and enjoy!

The location is inside Tianshui Ancient City, a bit hard to find. Breakfast is a collaboration with the shop next door, only available from 8 AM, which is different from the information provided here. The room's screen mirroring works fine, but there are constant ads… The room doesn't have a key; it has a combination lock, so you don't have to worry about only having one card for two people. The front desk provides many free small items that you can use. The downsides are that if you stay on the first floor, you'll hear noise from outside, and if no one is at the front desk during check-in, you'll have to wait.

We were traveling with my parents and children and were very satisfied with the accommodation. The owner and his wife were extremely welcoming and kind. We parked our car at the B&B the next day to rest after visiting Labrang Monastery. The owner was very hospitable. My parents were also very satisfied and praised it highly on the way back to Lanzhou!

Best hotel I’ve stayed in on my trip. The family made me feel so welcome. The room was very comfortable and quiet. Lots of hot water. Food was great. They gave me a bike to cycle to the grasslands and did my washing for free! Also dropped me at the bus station. So kind and lovely. And the owner speaks perfect English.

Perfect location for visiting the Rainbow Mountains, with the western entrance in walking distance. The exceptionally friendly reception also recommended scenic spots in the area, and we were able to borrow traditional clothing for our photo shoot free of charge. The overnight stay in a heated yurt was very comfortable, with shower and toilet facilities within easy reach. The breakfast was excellent and varied; even our demanding children gave it two thumbs up.

The room is clean and comfortable, with a small balcony. The daily necessities are of good quality and taste. There is also eight-treasure tea and a foot bath bucket. The breakfast is very good-looking and tastes good, which makes people feel good when they wake up in the morning. The overall decoration is very sunny. There are also souvenirs for sale. The price is right and the quality is good. The two beauties have good temperament and are gentle and kind. In short, they deserve my careful review!

This guesthouse is located in a village in Dunhuang, and it might feel a bit out of the way on your first visit. However, it's very close to Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake, making it quite convenient for sightseeing. The environment is relatively quiet, with the courtyard surrounded by fruit trees, creating a very relaxing atmosphere overall. Upon check-in, I found the room to be very clean, and there were no issues with the bedding or the bathroom. They even provided makeup remover wipes and alcohol pads in the room, which are small things you don't usually think about but come in handy for wiping down your phone or hands after a day out. The common areas are well-designed, and the infinity pool makes for great photos. It's also pleasant to just sit in the courtyard, sip coffee, and relax. The guys at the front desk were quite enthusiastic; they helped with luggage, recommended local eateries, and generally assisted with any requests. The breakfast selection isn't extensive, but everything is freshly made and tastes good. They also offer coffee and craft beer, and it's lovely to sit in the courtyard in the evening with a breeze. If I had one minor quibble, it's that the restaurants recommended by the front desk, while delicious, had quite long wait times. Overall, this is a very thoughtful guesthouse, perfect for those who want to take their time exploring and staying in Dunhuang.

We stayed in two hotels in Zhagana for two nights (the first day was sold out), and this one felt better. The hotelier was very considerate, cleaning the room in the morning and checking us in at 10:00 AM. It was convenient to park our car at the hotel and walk to the Grand Loop Trail. The stewed free-range chicken at the restaurant completely washed away the fatigue of the eight-hour Grand Loop Trail. The view from the room and the hotel restaurant was stunning, overlooking the crowded tourist center and Fairy Beach across the way. The hotel also provided complimentary tea and fruit. It was a wonderful stay.

The guesthouse is located somewhat inside Crescent Moon Town. The rooms and facilities are relatively new and complete, featuring a smart toilet, high-quality toiletries, and a special illuminated makeup mirror. They even thoughtfully provided makeup remover pads, leather straps, and small black hair clips. The room was clean and tidy, and the staff were very helpful and welcoming, introducing nearby attractions and planning routes. They even bought breakfast for us and took a shortcut to the Mingsha Mountain scenic area in an open-top vehicle. We were upgraded free of charge from a single-bed room with a view of the stars to a double-bed room with a star-viewing view for one night. On a clear day, you really can see the stars; the last photo shows a sky full of stars, but unfortunately, my phone couldn't capture the effect. Overall, I was very satisfied.
