Homestays in Gansu, China

The hotel looks really nice and will look great on anybody’s instagram. However, I had a room on the first (ground) floor and these should be avoided by anybody caring about privacy. One of the windows opened on the courtyard and the other opened on an alley, at street level. Anybody walking by inside or outside had a direct view inside the room.

The hostel is very clean The beds are wide and clean. The mattress is thin and hard and not very comfortable but I concede that it is the standard of hostels in China. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bathroom is also very clean. The location is great 10 min walk from the night market and from the bus stop to Mogao. The only negative note is that in December the room is very cold. Underfloor heating is almost absent. I asked for two blankets to be able to sleep.

Absolutely loved this hotel! The staff is super charming and kind and helpful The location is in the newly developed ”old street” which is very charming. In the area there are many restaurants and some bars. Yet the hotel is very quiet. There is underground parking and a lift directly from parking to hotel floors. The room is very well designed and well equipped. I particularly loved the fact that although I arrived around midnight I was able to give my clothes for washing and they were ready when I woke up. They have a washing machine with a dryer function. And I really needed some laundry after two weeks of travel across South Korea. The 2pm check out was also quite amazing as I was super tired after my long journey day before

I've rarely stayed at such a satisfying guesthouse. The courtyard is beautiful, right next to Luoshi Temple, with convenient dining options nearby, yet it's not noisy at all. Taking a stroll is very relaxing, or you can sit in the courtyard early in the morning and watch the birds fly by. Zhangye's attractions are relatively concentrated, and you can walk to them all from the courtyard. We booked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children, which was larger than expected, and the interior decoration and amenities were understated yet high-end. Breakfast was ordered in advance, and the front desk prepared and delivered it in the morning. By the way, my child loved the cats in the courtyard. Extremely satisfied.

I came across this treasure homestay on the way to Dunhuang. The green courtyard is a pleasant surprise in this cold season. The handsome boss greets you attentively and makes you feel at home. The room we booked was in Uyghur style, and the rooms in other ethnic minority styles were also very beautiful, making it difficult to make a choice. The fruits provided by the B&B are sweet and delicious, the lamb skewers are tender and juicy, and the breakfast is a local specialty meal. I have to give a thumbs up to the boss 👍. All 5 points recommended!

Amazing location and excellent facilities. We do not speak mandarin but were able to communicate with translation apps. The staff were friendly and helpfull, the scenery was spectacular, and the accomodation was very comfortable. Highly recommend staying here ! dinner was available via ordering from a menu to a local restaurant which the staff organised. Wifi was available, and the mobile phone coverage was good also. Excellent walking paths nearby from the hotel.

The best homestay I have ever stayed in the Qinggan Dahuan Line, the owner is very tasteful, the room including the outside of the homestay is very clean, the details are in place, and the facilities are perfect. The bedding and electrical appliances are all better brands. It can be seen that this is a homestay run by the boss. The boss is very enthusiastic and very thoughtful. The small yard in the homestay and the environment next to it are very good, super recommended.

This hotel is in a very good spot, opposite the river, away from the traffic and tourist groups. The restaurant offers great food and drinks. The personal is very friendly and helpful and the room looked very nice, ******* style , and the mattress was comfortable . Can recommend this place without hesitation.

As always I'll rate the hotel I stayed at relative to the cost incurred. So is it value for money? Location : The location could not be bettered. It is the closest hotel to the Mati Grottoes. Maybe a 500m walk away. Service : Very good, very friendly ! Welcoming and efficient on arrival. Took food orders for delivery at lunch and dinner (which helped a lot as in Winter all the restaurants in the village were closed)! And also helped me buy snacks in the afternoon (as the usual stores in the village were closed during Winter). Bedroom : Basic however with 2 beds (comfortable and clean) and a I really liked the sunny alcove with two seats and a table, to sit and drink tea/coffee (bring your own!). Bathroom : small but most importantly hot water and plenty of it ! The toilet is Western style not a squat (phew - good for my old knees!) Breakfast : was provided but as I don't often eat breakfast I can't comment further. You shouldn't expect a 5 star hotel, it's a basic Chinese hotel so don't get expectations up, however it is great value for money, clean and has everything you'd need for a short stay. I would definitely stay here again !

Family, the hotel is super nice inside and outside! It is clean, comfortable and odorless inside, and has a beautiful view of the Yellow River outside. The ladies at the front desk are all super nice and gentle (like them 💕). There is also a laundry room and dryer, and there are shared bicycles and shared electric cars downstairs, which is super convenient. You can drive a shared electric car to Lanzhou Old Street, which is a little over a kilometer from the hotel, to eat and take pictures (about 6 minutes), which is amazing! It is also very close to the Yellow River Tower, and you can quickly go there by shared electric cars and bicycles (Yellow River Tower: there is a river view during the day and a performance at night; we were in a hurry and didn't see the performance 😭)
