KKatKKGWe’re foreign tourists and wanted to experience a local homestay in a quiet area, and we’re glad we made the right choice! We had a wonderful and restful 4-night stay (we extended our stay) at Dunhuang Yun’an Sand Residence Homestay.
When we arrived, we immediately liked the interior design of the property. The owners are very warm and friendly, welcoming us with delicious local fruits.
The room was clean and spacious. My husband and I slept very well as it was very quiet, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The amenities were great, including a washing machine in the laundry room (some rooms also have their own washing machines). There were plenty of snacks available in the common lounge.
We’re usually not breakfast people but decided to try it here. The lady owner prepared a delicious breakfast from scratch using fresh ingredients. The pumpkin pancake and meat bun were delicious! She and her husband were so kind and generous, continually offering us more breakfast.
Although the property is located outside Dunhuang Town Centre, it was very easy to get a Didi to the town centre and to all the famous Dunhuang scenic areas like Mingsha Mountain, Moon Crescent Lake, and Mogao Caves (all within a 15-minute drive). The owner recommended a nice restaurant in the town centre, and we went there twice! The second time, we were so full that we decided to walk back to the hotel. It took us under 40 minutes and was a very pleasant walk after the meal. We also ordered takeaway one evening after returning from the Mogao Caves.
This place made us feel like home. The owners felt like friends! They provided us with all the information we needed and were always eager to help. Not to forget the housekeeping lady, who is very kind and caring!
We highly recommend this homestay!

GGuest UserAmazing value for money! I got a luxurious experience for a very reasonable price, what a pleasant surprise!
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! I never thought I'd book such a high-end hotel for such a great price.
From the moment I walked in, I could tell it had great taste. The interior decor uses high-quality materials and has a fantastic design. The room decor was very unique and stylish, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable – I slept like a baby. The service was impeccable; all the staff were super warm and friendly, always ready to help, which made me feel very welcome. Breakfast also deserves praise, with a wide variety of delicious and exquisitely prepared dishes.
Even my picky German husband raved about this hotel. Next time we bring the kids for a trip, we'll definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

GGuest UserThis guesthouse is truly unique! Each room is named after one of the twelve zodiac signs, with designs that blend local flair and astrological elements. In the evenings, you can go stargazing, with options for an indoor lecture and actual observation from the rooftop. The instructor mentioned that summer is the best season for stargazing, and if you want to spot your own zodiac constellation, it's best to visit around two months before or after its designated month. They even gave us wishing bottles for our own zodiac signs, which we filled with sand from Mingsha Mountain the next day to take home!
The host is incredibly warm and helpful; you can ask her about local tourism, car rentals, and more – she's very considerate. Breakfast is different every day, with a thoughtful and nutritious selection. There's also an adorable cat who loves to 'accompany' you during meals, often sitting on a chair. She gets so happy if you share half an egg yolk with her every morning! She also recently had three tiny, adorable kittens!
The guesthouse features a classroom and a spacious, bright lobby, making it feel especially suitable for study tour groups. We initially planned to stay two nights but loved it so much we extended for another night. The village atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, and it's about a 15-minute taxi ride to Shazhou Night Market and around 20 minutes to the train station, so transportation is very convenient.
Highly recommend for family trips and educational tours!

GGuest UserThe B&B has a large yard, a good environment, and is surrounded by green trees. It is very close to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake scenic area. The owner will take you to a small path, which takes less than ten minutes to reach the scenic area, which is especially convenient for watching the sunrise and sunset. The room is spacious, clean and tidy, and there is no odor. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the spray hot water is large, so it is very comfortable to take a bath. Recommended! ! !

GGuest UserWe were not impressed, especially for the price. We've stayed at hotels that are similarly priced and expected much better.
To be fair, the hotel itself is beautiful. The architecture, the room interiors, and the breakfast and drinks to get were all very nice.
However, the problems started at arrival. We were told the afternoon tea was cancelled and the restaurant was fully booked because of an event. No one told us this in advance, which was very disappointing.
The check-in was disorganized. The receptionist (who was also the manager) turned away to help someone else while I was still talking to her. She didn't give us our room keys, saying the bell boy would open the door. But when we got to the room, the bell boy had to walk all the way back to get the keys. The bell boys were actually very friendly and helpful—the only good part.
To make things stranger, the female manager called me a few hours after we checked out. She asked how the event affected our stay. I was busy and rushing around, and the call worried me—I thought I had left something behind. Asking for our opinion after we left was too late. They should have asked us during our stay, or better yet, informed us before we even arrived.
So, while the place is beautiful, the poor communication and service ruined the experience. We wouldn't stay here again for the price.

GGuest UserWhen traveling to Dunhuang, I wanted to book a quiet hotel and chose this hotel. The result was unexpectedly good. Not only was it quiet, but the environment was also very good and very cultural. The preface to the Lanting Collection was carved on the wall of the lobby. I heard it was written by the boss. . The service was also very friendly. Check-in was quick, they answered all our questions and sent us to the room. The room is also very warm, the facilities are new and complete, and there is a humidifier. It is really good to have a humidifier in Northwest China. The bathtub also comes with a disposable bathtub cover, so you can take a bath with confidence. I came back very late from my trip to the Western Front. I asked for two extra pairs of slippers, which were delivered quickly. Good hotel, good service!

GGuest UserI chose this hotel for my trip, and the room was thoughtfully furnished. The twin beds were very spacious, and two adults could comfortably stay in one room. The bedding was clean, pure white, soft and gentle on the skin, and provided just the right amount of support. After a long day of business travel, I could fall asleep immediately. The upholstered headboard was a thoughtful touch, preventing discomfort when using my phone at night. The placement of power outlets and switches was also very convenient, making charging and controlling the lights easy. The hotel's attention to detail was evident; the throw pillows and bed runner were stylishly coordinated, not the generic hotel furnishings, but rather a comfortable and inviting touch. There was also a lounge chair by the window, perfect for relaxing in the afternoon sun or enjoying a cup of tea. Cleanliness was impeccable. The sheets and duvet covers were spotless and odorless, the floors and surfaces were impeccably clean, and the bathroom was spotless and tidy, giving me peace of mind. The staff were also very attentive, checking me in quickly and patiently answering any questions. Overall, the service was excellent, making me feel very comfortable.
It's very close to the museum and Crescent Lake, making it very convenient to get around and providing a great experience. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend choosing this place!

Very Good
AARTHURStaff was really friendly and tries to speak English. Cleanliness of the room was not perfect, given the stains in the toilet and the rubbish underneath the bed. Overall the hygiene was good though. If you want a low cost stay with a good breakfast, this is the place to be! Location is also very good in the center of all major sights in the neighbourhood.

AAnonymous UserIf 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.
