2-Star Hotels in Turpan

After we encountered a bad experience with a desert glamping resort in Dunhuang, we were a bit cautious with Dune when we booked it. However, after I communicated with the manager in Dune via WeChat, I was more confident as he was very polite and helpful. He helped us to booked a transfer from Turpan Airport to Dune resort. As our flight arrived Turpan in the evening, it was late when we arrived at Dune. The manager and another staff came to the entrance of the driveway to welcome us and helped us with our luggage. They took us straight to our tent, and they upgraded us to a bigger tent, too. We woke up to this beautiful Kumtag Desert Sand dunes, right in front of our tent! It was so beautiful. As the off peak season started, we were the only guests there but the staff were serving us with delicious breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious and plentiful! The manager and staff were very attentive to our requests. One of the staff has helped us to arrange a local guide/driver to take us to the Kumtag desert for an exciting ATV ride and sand sliding. We had a great time. We ended up hiring the same guide, a pleasant and calm Uygur young guy to take us for some sightseeing and dropped us back to Turpan. I would say to anyone who is looking for a real desert glamping, please come to Dune in Shahshan near Turpan instead of Dunhuang.

The Baoju hotel is located near the middle of town within a short driving distance to the Kumtag desert facilities. The staff were very friendly. Although they could not speak English, they made every good effort to meet all of our needs. The hotel is located in a ***** of small businesses and restaurants. It even is directly attached to a convenience store so you don’t need to leave the building for those small necessities. Our stay was pleasant and restful.

The location is right at the entrance of the Grape Valley Scenic Area. There is a parking space at the entrance. It is quite crowded during the day and relatively empty at night. The B&B has its own small courtyard. The layout is very beautiful. The room is also relatively large, clean and tidy. It is pet-friendly. The owner is also very nice. Recommended!

I am confused how they got so many good reviews after staying here. First, they said offer they tickets to get into Grape Valley and it ended up no tickets are needed. Second, we went out for dinner, restaurants on the right side of the hotel, as the hotel suggested, are 3X more expensive than the normal price. Third, a worker at our hotel offered to drive us to a restaurant but we declined. Later, we found out that he was trying to take us to an overpriced restaurant with no customers. I guess he was looking for a commission from that restaurant. Fourth, we asked one lady in the touristy area, how far is the night market and she said 25 km, we checked on line it was only 7 km away. Even though the room itself was fine, I would advise against staying here or in Grape Valley altogether. Although a visit here for 1 or 2 hours is fine.

Very unique B&B First impression: wooden pavilion, blue bricks and tiles, antique style Check-in experience: The little girl at the front desk was warm and thoughtful. I encountered a small problem when checking into the family room. After communicating with the store, she decisively changed the room and upgraded it for free. It was very heart-warming. My favorite: I like the big terrace on the second floor. It is accompanied by stars at night and shaded by ancient trees during the day. It is so comfortable to drink tea with my family.

The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The shower pressure was excellent, and having laundry facilities was a huge bonus. Absolutely fantastic! I would definitely choose this hotel again if I get the chance.

The room was clean. It is breathable, has hot water, and there is a large yard outside. You can also park your car under the greenhouse in the yard, which is clean and cool. The yard is spacious and clean. My son is very happy. He plays with kittens in the yard every day and basks in the sun with his naked butt. He really loves it. When we left, the child was reluctant to leave and said he didn't want to go home. The boss and his wife are warm and generous. There is hot tea and snacks in the yard 24 hours a day. The steamed buns and potato chips made by the boss's wife are amazing. My son eats them three times a day. When I left, the boss's wife gave me a big bag of potato chips and two boxes of black mulberries. I was really moved 😭😭😭 and moved to tears😫😫. The boss and the boss's wife warmly entertain every customer and chat with them 😄😄😄😄😄. You can order dishes at home. The big plate chicken made by the boss's wife is amazing. They raise their own chickens and they are handled very cleanly. Highly recommended. I plan to take my mother there for a few days in June. Thanks to the boss and the lady boss! ! ! !

The hotel is in a good location, easy to find on the main road, with a parking lot, convenient parking. The room is spacious and has new facilities. The room is clean and sanitary. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the sink meets hotel standards. The bedding is also very good, and the sleep is very comfortable. The hotel has a washing machine for washing clothes, and the cost performance is very high. I stayed there for a few days while playing in Turpan. The Xinjiang girl at the hotel front desk was warm and polite, and the check-in experience was very good!

A very bad experience. I booked two rooms online for 1400 yuan, informing them of my check-in time in advance. The room was like a sauna; the air conditioner showed an indoor temperature of 29 degrees Celsius. The bed was scalding hot, feeling over 40 degrees Celsius. There was some fine sand on the bed. The most unforgettable thing was that I was woken up by mosquitoes less than an hour after lying down. I turned on the light and began a long hour of swatting mosquitoes. Just when I thought I was done, I lay down for a while, and the buzzing started again, so I got up again, killing nine mosquitoes in total. Frustrated, at 3:30 AM, I called the hotel manager. After verifying my identity and noticing the red envelope on my body, they changed my room. By then it was almost 4 AM. I slept for two hours, killed two more, and at around 6 AM, I drove away from the hotel. I'm never coming back!

What a little gem we found here. Cute hotel with cozy rooms in front of a huge tree, which gives it a very calm and energizing atmosphere. The hotel is situated a bit outside of the city center, right in the neighbourhood what felt like a little town itself (many restaurants, much green space, close to the grape valley) - we loved it! Ps: they do accept foreigners!
