Homestays in Qinghai, China

"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..."

"The fact that this tiny guesthouse installed air conditioning was so thoughtful! Although I didn't need it late at night, it would be useful in the summer. They also had a Yuwell oxygen concentrator, which I thought I wouldn't need, but I ended up using it when I had a headache – a real lifesaver. The accommodation was a bit noisy, but with air conditioning, an oxygen concentrator, and a reasonable price, I couldn't ask for more."

"The hotel within the scenic area was more than perfect than expected. The facilities were comprehensive and new. You could have the entire scenic area to yourself in the mornings and evenings. P.S.: First, get a ticket next to the parking lot, then someone will guide you in through another entrance. Room admission is free. Room type limits the number of guests. There's a KFC inside the scenic area (open until 9:30 PM), but other food options are average, especially the Chinese food. It's recommended to drive out for meals. You can freely enter and exit with your room card; parking is free."

"A very satisfying stay. The room was warm, clean, and well-equipped with smart technology. The owners were very welcoming; we chose a room with breakfast included, and the owner provided us with a local specialty breakfast in the morning. There's also a camping and barbecue area on site. Qinghai Lake scenic area is not far away."

"The wonderland ranch hidden in the secret environment is definitely a must-stay hotel in this life. Each room is an independent cabin with comfort and privacy. Open the window is the invincible mountain view, the beauty that words and photos cannot describe. There are a lot of animals, shops, ranches, and wild ones, and my daughter has a great time. The clerks are very enthusiastic, and they work seriously, especially the housekeeper's little brother. Everything is taken care of very thoughtfully. If there is a chance, I will definitely come back, hoping for a snowy season."

"This place is very beautiful, quiet and has a very authentic atmosphere! They also can teach you about Buddhism and meditation. I wish I could have had more time to enjoy the whole experience! The only drawback is having collective bathroom. Though I understand it’s a limitation of being hosted by I place which is originally a temple, it’s still a not so positive aspect. Everything else was perfect, especially the service and the food!"

"Very nice hostel/homestay - you won’t find a quality private room for cheaper in Xining and accepts foreigners without difficulty. Facilities are clean and functional and is well located near to the train station with many restaurants around. I can definitely recommend 🙂."

"馨語賓館環境清幽，房間乾淨整潔，床品舒適，設施齊全。老闆熱情好客，服務周到，還貼心給予提示。提醒高原地需要注意事項，介紹周邊遊玩地址，周邊性價比高，入住體驗非常棒，強烈推薦。 就是停車場不好轉，收費有點高。"

"The hotel is very conveniently located, within a few minutes’ walking distance from the monastery and also accessible on foot from the bus station. We got a room in a side alley off the main building. The room was clean, very spacious and light thanks to large roof windows. The furnishing was modern and cozy at the same time, with large comfortable beds, a small table, armchair and shelf. The bathroom was also spacious and clean, with fresh towels and hot water coming out of the shower  instantly. The staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating, letting us extend our stay for an hour beyond the regular check-out time so we could pack up and use the bathroom again before our bus departed in the early afternoon. We can fully recommend this hotel for a stay in Rebkong/Tongren!"

"The location is easy to find, very close to Chaka Salt Lake and the highway exit. The boss is very enthusiastic, busy all by himself. Seeing that we have altitude sickness, he gave us oxygen. Before leaving, he also gave us a bag of salt. The two-story cabin is more suitable for family travel. There is a Sichuan restaurant on the road in front. The taste is particularly good, suitable for Hunan people's taste, you can go and try it. Chaka is still beautiful in early September~"
