Homestays in Qinghai, China

"A cozy and warm Airbnb with welcoming ambiance that makes me feel like home .. the hotel is located at a quiet alley within walking distance to 隆务Monastry. The owner Mr Zhao is friendly person and happily shared ******* and Regong culture with me. Thank you."

"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."

"Wow! What a treasure hotel! I made so many friends, the owner Dorje is wonderful, and I received many blessings from monks. Just one night's stay and I met like-minded people. When I left, the manager even gave me a gift made by the Living Buddha himself! Five-star recommendation! I'll definitely go back again, and I've also sent it to many of my friends! The Zanpu Lingka is fantastic! And my wife found the tsatsa she wanted most for this trip to Tibet! Our destiny has arrived, and our merits are fulfilled! Thank you Dorje, Xiao Ke, and Yaqin!"

"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."

"Five stars without hesitation! Choosing to stay at the Starry Sky Inn in the Chaka Salt Lake Sky No. 1 Scenic Area was a wise decision. The inn is right next to the floating pavilion, and I specifically tried the unique salt-heated bed. The natural salt lake minerals heated the bed, and the warmth slowly seeped into my body, instantly relieving the fatigue of my long journey. Accommodation within the scenic area allows free access to the park, eliminating the need to rush and fight for a spot. The salt lake scenery within the scenic area is also very beautiful and worth taking photos of. Sunrise and sunset can be captured at your leisure. The rooms were clean and tidy, with excellent heating facilities, perfectly adapted to the high-altitude climate. The staff were warm and attentive. This was the most amazing stop on my Northwest trip. Version Three (Artsy and Niche Style) Living by the salt lake, falling asleep to the starry sky – a perfect experience. Stay at the Sky No. 1 Starry Sky Inn and try the salt-heated bed therapy in the floating pavilion. The warm, moist salt stones were incredibly comforting. During the day, enjoy the mirror-like salt lake, and watch the lake shimmer like gold at sunset; at night, draw back the curtain of the sky, and the vast starry sky fills the rooftop. Avoid the crowds and quietly enjoy the unique romance of Chaka Salt Lake. The food and accommodation far exceeded expectations; the convenience of staying within the scenic area was excellent. Definitely worth the trip, five-star recommendation. Version Four (Extremely Simple One-Sentence Review) Five-star review! The Starry Sky Inn has a superb location, and the floating salt flat experience is fantastic. Lying in bed watching the entire starry sky and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Chaka Salt Lake all to yourself, highly recommended. Would you like me to write a caption suitable for posting on WeChat Moments?"

"The B&B has a nice environment, with stunning views of Qinghai Lake right from the window. The service was good, but some facilities need improvement. Specifically, the sink faucet in the bathroom was a bit wobbly and needs repair, and the bathroom itself was a little cramped. We had the local hot pot with yak meat for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious – the meat was so tender. Looking forward to trying it again next time!"

"The hotel is right near the scenic area, which is perfect for photos this season, and it's super convenient to get there on foot. The environment is quiet with great views – a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. It's really comfortable to relax here after a day of sightseeing. The front desk service is thoughtful, and the dinner was the best I've had on this whole route. The restaurant staff were very welcoming, and the breakfast delivered to the room was also excellent quality. Overall, full marks! I'm really looking forward to seeing the green grasslands in summer! Just a small suggestion: it would be great if there were more resting spots within the scenic area."

"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..."
