Mountain View Hotels in Bole

Just parked my car, quite a distance away, and someone immediately came over to help with my luggage – super enthusiastic! You can do laundry here, and when someone was hogging the washing machine, the owner even stepped in to talk to them. The hotel offers views of Sayram Lake and is very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. It's not far from Sayram Lake, just a seven to eight-kilometer drive. The price is half that of other hotels in the tourist area. Overall, it's a great value!

This is the most comfortable LI CHENG Hotel I've ever stayed in, and the experience was superb! 👍🏻 The front desk staff, Ah Lai, helped upgrade my room. The hotel is right next to the east gate tourist center of Sailimu Lake, and it's a 3-minute drive directly to the lakeside. This means no need to travel back and forth to the city. It's super convenient for catching the sunrise early in the morning and chasing the sunset's 'golden mountain' in the evening. The hotel also has a large free parking lot, so self-driving tourists don't have to worry about parking at all. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

I read all the reviews before booking, and it turns out I made a great choice. I stayed in both the large and small yurts. They were very clean, had no strange odors, and the heating stove kept them nice and warm. From the mountain, you get a panoramic view of Sayram Lake. In the mornings and evenings, when most people are out, you can enjoy a quiet and leisurely stroll. There's a shepherd dog who loves to be petted and a lively kitten, plus herders grazing their livestock nearby, making for a truly immersive experience. If you don't want to use the dry toilet, you can go to the public restrooms in the scenic area downhill, which are very clean. Hot water is available for washing, and it's especially convenient if you're driving as you can easily go back and forth. The owner's cooking is indeed delicious; the humped salmon was particularly tasty. The prices are a bit higher, but I found them acceptable, considering it's a scenic area. Overall, it's perfect for anyone who values experience, though perhaps not for germaphobes, as they are yurts after all.

When I booked the yurt, my simple desire was to bring my 4-and-a-half-year-old to experience Kazakh culture and a different way of life. But... Surprise 1: Located at the highest point of Sai Lake, I could wake up to watch the sunrise and even see the entire lake. For adults, the view is incredible. Surprise 2: The owners are a family of three. Their son is a handsome Kazakh man who speaks Mandarin the best in the family. He handles all customer communications, making communication seamless. The family is incredibly friendly and helpful, and they'll do their best to satisfy any request, as long as they can. Surprise 3: They have a herd of cattle, and another family on the hill behind them has a herd of sheep. They also have two sheepdogs and several horses. It's a truly delightful experience for children. They can play with the dogs, talk to the lambs, ride horses, and ride horses... And they even learned to distinguish between sheep and cow dung, as it's so common and natural. Surprise 4: For dinner, we ordered lamb skewers, braised lamb chops, and pilaf. Two adults and one child couldn't finish them all; the portions were generous and the flavors were excellent. The clear mutton soup had no mutton smell at all (it's best to order it in advance, as it takes about two hours to simmer). Of course, if you're choosing a yurt, you should be prepared. Only consider choosing one if you can accept the following: 1) There's no private toilet, only a dry toilet, and no showers. 2) There's a stove inside, and you have to add the charcoal yourself at night, otherwise it won't last until the next morning. 3) The standard of cleanliness should be comparable to other yurts, not five-star hotels. Overall, if I were to stay in this area again, I would still choose this yurt.

The hotel's facilities are very new, and the overall hygiene is clean. The environment is quiet, and the service is very thoughtful. The rooms are comfortable and distinctive. The hotel is also very close to scenic spots, making it convenient for those driving. Regarding service, the front desk staff are very enthusiastic. If there are any issues with the room, the service staff respond very quickly. Check-in and check-out are both fast, and they even recommend sightseeing routes.

I originally booked the resort, but then got upgraded to the Puli Hotel. The location is superb, very close to the East Gate of Sayram Lake, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The king-size room was spacious and bright, with a brand-new light luxury decor. The large bed was soft and comfortable for sleeping. The panoramic floor-toceiling windows offered stunning views of the snowy mountains and spruce trees; waking up to watch the sunrise and enjoying the lake colors in the evening was absolutely breathtaking. The underfloor heating kept the entire room warm and cozy, and the attention to detail was impeccable, with friendly and thoughtful service. The breakfast was plentiful. A perfect experience, highly recommended!

My first capsule hotel experience totally exceeded my expectations! It felt really safe and cozy in there, and the bed was so clean and comfy. They even offer free laundry service, which was a huge plus. Location-wise, it's pretty great too. I was walking to the park, and it was super close to the Old East Gate entrance. Plus, there are tons of good places to eat and convenience stores nearby, making it incredibly convenient.

This hotel is located outside the Sayram Lake scenic area and appears to be newly opened, as the facilities are incredibly new and clean. The property is quite large, primarily offering two types of accommodations: RV-style 'space capsule' rooms and small cabins. We initially booked a space capsule RV, but the front desk upgraded us to a cabin, claiming it was larger with two separate rooms, two bathrooms, and a living area in between. While the cabin was new and tidy, personally, I felt the space capsule RV would have offered a more futuristic and modern feel. If you're driving, you can park at the hotel's front desk or drive closer to your unit. Our room was near the restaurant and coffee shop, and even after closing hours, there was minimal noise despite people passing by. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant on our first night. The dishes tasted good, but the wait was excessively long. For just a few simple dishes, we waited almost an hour. What's more, we had informed the restaurant of our dinner reservation right after check-in, so they should have had ample time to prepare. This long wait was simply unacceptable. While waiting, I also noticed other guests leaving due to the extended delays. We repeatedly urged the staff, but their helpless expressions made it hard to fully blame them. However, I truly hope the hotel improves this aspect, as it significantly detracts from the overall experience. We had planned to eat early and explore the surroundings, but by the time dinner was finally served an hour later, it was already late at night, making it impossible to enjoy the hotel's amenities. The hotel also offers a buffet breakfast at the same location. There's a good selection, but even before breakfast officially ended, we saw most of the staff coming to get food boxes, eating the same breakfast as us. Although we were almost finished, when we went back for more, there was very little food left, which was disappointing. While I appreciate the hotel's good treatment of its employees, allowing them to share the same meal choices as guests, I suggest they have their breakfast after guests have finished. It feels a bit off to pay a relatively high price for accommodation and then have to share breakfast with staff before the service time is even over, especially given the hotel's higher pricing, which comes with higher expectations. The hotel's coffee shop has a strong design aesthetic and is perfect for Instagram. Unfortunately, the coffee prices were quite high, so we didn't make a purchase, simply taking some photos before leaving. However, if you have time, it would be a very comfortable place to relax for a while.

This hotel is a great choice for visiting Sayram Lake. The view from the window is of windmills and grasslands – absolutely stunning and soothing. The rooms are clean and tidy, the service is warm and attentive, and the amenities are complete. It's convenient for watching the sunrise and sunset, and you can see the starry sky just above – what a beautiful place!

Staying in a yurt at Sayram Lake is an absolute treat! Not only do you get to witness the stunning golden sunrise over the mountains, but you also get to savor incredibly authentic Kazakh cuisine. The owner's hand-grabbed lamb, milk tea, and roasted meat are all phenomenal – so fresh and delicious. Enjoying a warm, home-style meal after watching the sunrise just fills you with so much joy! 🥩 The yurt's location is fantastic; step right out to breathtaking lake and snow-capped mountain views. After dinner, a stroll along the lake, with the breeze blowing, is pure bliss! The accommodation is also very clean and comfortable, and the service is incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend!
