It's good to live here in Nanshan! I lived in two room types, and I personally preferred the frost room. The bed was hard and comfortable to sleep.
Facilities: Electric water heater has sufficient water volume, living room, tea room, halal kitchen. Sound insulation deviation, afraid of noisy living on the second floor room
Hygienic: The towels and sheets are very clean, the owner is a minority, the hygiene is very clean, rest assured
Environment: very quiet, very comfortable
Service: Sister Yuan is very enthusiastic, driving me to the snow field, introduced me to many good places. It is very fair to send 15 snow field trips. You don't know how dark the black car is here.

Guest UserWe stayed a couple of days and it has been an amazing experience. This is a very authentic homestay where you are treated like proper guests by a local family. Despite the language barrier, they have done anything possible to help us enjoy our stay. This included offering us to join their family gathering, upgrading our room for free and suggesting us an amazing local restaurant (actually driving us and helping us to spot the vegetarian dishes as it can be challenging in China). On top of the amazing hospitality the rooms were lovely and spotless clean and the common areas are very enjoyable! 10 out of 10!

The room was very clean and the service was very attentive. I wanted to ask the B&B to order medicine in advance because I had a stomachache, but I didn't expect them to prepare it carefully. I was very touched. The layout of the store is very stylish. Next time I come to Xinjiang, I will come here again. The cats and dogs are super good-tempered and very cute.

Our stay at Maowo Inn was a pleasant surprise, prompted by our trip to Urumqi Silk Road International Ski Resort in Xinjiang with our child. Although it's an inn, it's designed and equipped like a hotel. Our 4-day, 3-night stay exceeded our expectations.
**Service:** First and foremost, we were deeply touched by the warm, friendly, and sincere hospitality of the owner and his wife. The owner's wife, in particular, was very personable. Any questions we had were promptly answered and resolved. During check-in, she patiently explained the room temperature (offering extra blankets if it felt cold at night), how to preheat the electric water heater and its usage tips, and the shuttle service to the ski resort. Our large luggage was brought up by a lift and carried to our room, making us feel like family.
**Facilities:** The room was spacious and bright, well-equipped with a TV, floor heating, an electric water heater, and a luggage lift. The heating was ample and comfortable, and hot water was available all day. During the day, the sunlight streaming through the window made the room bright and warm. The view outside the window was beautiful, offering sights of Aiwenda Road, Feichangdao, and Xuanzangdao. At night, the twinkling lights of Aiwenda Road were especially captivating, which was why we chose a scenic twin room. Additionally, my child loved the corridor design, reminiscent of scenes from Harry Potter movies, and the environment was quiet.
**Hygiene:** The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was fresh and comfortable. Housekeeping cleaned the room daily. On our first day, the owner let us choose between two rooms, and we picked the one with a tatami bed, mainly drawn by the carpet with Xinjiang elements.
**Breakfast:** Breakfast was not included when we booked online, but upon arrival, the owner surprised us with free breakfast vouchers. Breakfast offered milk tea, boiled eggs, millet (or corn) and red date porridge, steamed buns, stir-fried dishes, and cold salads. It was simple yet energizing, meeting our basic needs.
**Location:** The inn is very close to the ski resort. The visitor center is divided into East and West zones, and it's convenient whether you drive or walk. When we visited, the East zone was open, and the inn provided a shuttle service, taking about 5-6 minutes by car or 10-odd minutes on foot. Although the West zone wasn't open, it would be about a 5-minute walk. While the child was skiing, adults could enjoy a walk, soak up the sun, breathe fresh air, and get some exercise.
Upon leaving, the owner kindly helped us with our luggage downstairs. Many thanks! We'll definitely stay at Maowo Inn again if we have the chance.

Guest UserWe shared a suite for five people. It was incredibly clean, and the owner and his wife were incredibly welcoming. They were waiting for us even though we arrived quite late. The next day's breakfast was incredibly rich. The owner prepared milk tea and a variety of breads and jams, all of which were delicious. They even had Bursak and stir-fried chili beans grown in the house, which truly brought back the flavors of my mom.
We arrived so late that we woke up the next day to discover the cozy little courtyard. There were areas for playing chess, drinking tea, and swinging on the swings, all surrounded by the sound of running water. If you live in the city, I highly recommend bringing your family here for a weekend get-together, playing mahjong, and listening to the children's laughter.
The owner's wife even let us pick some crabapples from the front of their house. They had a sweet and sour apple aroma, and they said they were all natural. This village is a model homestay village. I think the owner and his wife are very kind. I hope their courtyard will be more widely known. It's highly recommended!

Anonymous UserThis hotel is one of the better decorated in Nanshan District, Urumqi. The room has floor-to-ceiling windows with a great view of the mountains, and the stargazing at night is fantastic. I also really like the interior design. The courtyard downstairs is small and beautiful, and there's a reading nook on the second floor where you can read, relax, study, or work.
One drawback:
1. The room is on the second floor with floor-to-ceiling windows. People standing on the adjacent stairs and on the rooftop can see directly into the room. People on the ground floor looking up can also see in when they're near the window, leading to a few awkward eye contact 😅. My husband was hesitant to take off his clothes in the room, or he had to sacrifice the beautiful view by drawing the curtains. We'll try a different room type next time.
2. It's been very hot in Xinjiang lately, and the room didn't have air conditioning. We didn't think much of it, assuming Nanshan would be cool at night. We arrived around 5 pm, and a wave of heat hit us as soon as we opened the door. I guess the floor-to-ceiling windows are too big to insulate properly. We quickly opened the windows for ventilation. There are two small windows on either side of the floor-to-ceiling window, but only the right one had a screen, so we only opened that one to keep mosquitoes out. The ventilation wasn't very noticeable. We returned to our room around midnight after watching ”A Date with Kunlun.” It was already quite cool outside, but the room was still incredibly stuffy; it felt like the daytime heat hadn't dissipated at all. We lay in bed until after 1 a.m., but it was unbearable. The child was also too hot to sleep, so we made a makeshift bed under the only small window that could be opened. We felt a slight breeze and finally managed to fall asleep. We mentioned the room's heat to the owner before leaving, and they expect it to improve. If things get better or cooler, I'd be willing to stay again, especially since stargazing at night is beautiful.
The breakfast was also excellent. Although simple, it was made with care. The apricot jam seemed homemade and was delicious.

The location and environment are excellent.
However, if you're particular about cleanliness, this isn't for you…
The room had an odor, especially the bathroom, which was quite smelly.
The shower water temperature was inconsistent, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, and the flow rate was unpredictable.
There was practically no service.
Breakfast didn't start until 10:30, and we left without eating.

Linyi and Yuan Shuxin filmed the same homestay for TV dramas. The rooms are very clean and the decoration is very new. It is a smart toilet. The most important thing is that the atmosphere of the homestay is very good. You don’t have to be afraid of not having a partner. The homestay can also cook. You can also cook if you don’t cook. There is a cafe bistro in the yard. I wake up every day and have a cup of coffee to go skiing. It is very pleasant to go back to ski and have a little wine to sleep. It is very close to the snow field. The boss will drive and pick up and drop off. I want to travel around and take pictures. The boss will also send it. The boss is very good. We will play cards for a few people, not bored at all, next time we come to Xinjiang, we will still live here.

MaxiaohanI didn't have time to take photos, but the girl's service attitude was very good. The decoration environment in the store is very good and looks very comfortable. When you lie down in the room, you can see a large floor-to-ceiling window of the Silk Road Ski Resort. The bed is also very comfortable to sleep in. There are You can sit on the futon in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy the scenery. It would be nice to have a small table. Overall, it’s great. I didn’t take any photos of the room. I’ll just check it out.
