We stay at Desert Star Hotel area B. No regret choosing area B rather than area A. For us, we want to experience the stay in the midst of the desert rather than modern western hotel rooms that’s too common to us. The toiletries provide are good. Hot pot buffet dinner is awesome with lots of variety to choose. Staff attitude can be improved. Encounter a rude male staff at Area B reception. However, Ms Y.M is very helpful and never fail to respond to us via WeChat.

Super cool hotel! One of the best hotels I have ever stayed. Breathtaking view and great food, super friendly staff. There are many programs for family and kids. My room type is the desert view cabin, wonderful- kids can just play send once step out of the door. You can observe stars in their star viewing valley, swim in the swimming pool, or simply go to explore the desert and enjoy the great scenery. Love it and will come back!

This year, hotels are much easier to get than in previous years. We were lucky to have good weather and see the stars during our stay. We looked forward to hiking every morning. The parents were too tired, but the children were too happy haha😝

Highly recommended. Before going, I thought it was just to put the room in the desert, nothing more than to see the scenery, and we adults don't dig sand. After going, I found it is still recommended.
Process: Take a taxi to the Gate of Time and Space, which is the reception of the Star Hotel, which is actually the front desk, and check in here. We arrived at the Gate of Time and Space at almost 14:00. If there is a room, you can enter the room first. After checking in (giving a wristband), wait for the jeep to take us to Star Coffee (Star Coffee is equivalent to a transfer station. If there is anything, basically gather there). When we arrived at Star Coffee, we changed to the shuttle bus to the room. Ours was a cabin in Area B (I also visited Area A, each with its own merits, and Area B is also good, with rows of cabins).
Put the luggage in the room, call to ask how to get to Shapotou, then walk to Star Coffee, and wait for a while, there will be a car to take you to the Shapotou desert area.
After we arrived at the desert area, we immediately changed to the Shapotou bus to the Yellow River area. We played in the Yellow River area first. After playing (2.5 hours), we took the bus back to the desert area, got off the bus, took the hotel bus back to Star Coffee, walked back to the room, sorted out, and went to Area A for dinner.
The next day, after breakfast, we went to the sand near the room, sorted out our bags, took a rest, called the hotel, and sent a shuttle bus to pick us up and send us to Star Coffee. At this time, you can communicate with the staff of Star Coffee to go to the Shapotou Desert Area or go to the Gate of Time and Space to leave. After a while, a car came. My mother and I went to the desert area to play, and my father took the luggage to the Gate of Time and Space (front desk) to rest. They were all in the same car, and my mother and I got off first.
Room: Not big, two boxes spread out, not very walkable (it is recommended that the boxes can be placed next to the bed like a mat), the mattress is still comfortable, and one bed can sleep 2 adults. The slippers are very comfortable and thick. There are drinks, nuts, and yogurt in the refrigerator; the toiletries are L'Occitane. The water table is not very big, so it is not recommended to put it on the washstand.
Breakfast: Very rich, I like it very much, the environment is very good, and the taste is good.
Dinner: We checked in on 4/26, and we can go to the buffet in Area A to enjoy it without paying extra. We have everything we need, including lamb, beef, ice cream, beer, vegetables, pasta, and water. Go to the buffet in Area A, and you can actually take a look at the room types in Area A. They are quite good to take pictures. When you go out to play, everything is very novel.
Activities: You can go sandboarding. In fact, it is very tiring to play sandboarding twice, because you have to pull the sandboard to the high ground. You can pat the small bugs on the ground, which are easy to find and crawl around. The Stargazing Valley is cloudy, you can't see anything, and it is very cold. But the teacher is very hard, very serious, and very contagious.
It is recommended to stay for 2-3 nights. We stayed for 1 night and had a full experience. The hotel is well connected in all aspects, and some minor problems can be forgiven.

The CP value of one night and three meals is very high. The breakfast and dinner are very rich. The full-day activities are very exciting. The free tickets to Shapotou Scenic Area are super valuable. I would like to visit again if I have the chance👍🏻

Help! Desert Star Hotel is really good at parent-child travel! I was afraid that it would be boring to bring my child to the desert, but I didn't want to leave after playing! Teacher Xiao Wang and Teacher Xiao Sun took the children to explore the desert, and talked about the little knowledge of animals and plants such as sand foxes and wormwood while walking. The children listened more seriously than in class, and came back to talk non-stop.
The most delicious is the "Star Travel Qihang" semi-custody! After leaving the child to the teacher, my child's father and I can finally take a breath, take a big movie by ourselves, and the teacher takes the child to play games, plus creative handicrafts, the child is so proud to hold the small ornaments he made, and the old mother wants to praise it when she sees it! All the staff of the activities are super clear haha~
Watching the stars in the Star Valley at night, and having fun with the child in the desert during the day, this trip experience is directly pulled to the fullest! Bring your child to the desert to play, identify this one, it's easy and fun, just close your eyes and rush!
