Homestays σε Ningxia, China

"This was a fantastic stay! First off, the location in Wanda Apartment is perfect – everything you need for food, entertainment, and getting around is super convenient. It's truly the best choice for a Yinchuan city walk. Secondly, the room was spotless and tidy, and the smart audio-visual system covered everything, keeping the kids entertained with the Tmall Genie for ages. Moreover, having a laundry room with a washer-dryer was such a thoughtful touch, no more worrying about dirty clothes. Finally, a special thanks to the owner for their incredibly kind service; I truly felt so much warmth during my trip to Ningxia. Grateful ❤️"

"Staying in a tipsy dreamland at the foot of Helan Mountain – this guesthouse was the most pleasant surprise of my Yinchuan trip! It's located right in the Helan Mountain Eastern Foothill Wine Region of Ningxia, and you can feel the rich wine country atmosphere just by looking out the window. I booked the 'Cloud Dye' King Room, and the decor was incredibly stylish, especially the tea room setup. With the afternoon sun streaming in, sipping tea here and gazing at the scenery outside made time feel like it slowed down. The smart room control and Serta mattress made for an exceptionally sweet night's sleep. The most noteworthy highlight has to be the complimentary wine tasting and winery tour! As a complete beginner to wine, this was a real eye-opener. Not only did I get to taste delicious wines, but I also took many beautiful photos. Plus, there's a pick-up and drop-off service, which is incredibly thoughtful for travelers with luggage – no need to worry about transportation at all. The butler service also gets full marks; their response speed was super fast, and any request was resolved immediately. Coupled with a hearty and abundant breakfast, it was a truly complete accommodation experience."

"My stay at Nanxi Bieyuan Hedong Airport branch was fantastic! It's super close to the airport, which made getting around incredibly convenient – no stress at all for an early morning flight. The room was clean and tidy, cozy and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. The bedding was soft, ensuring a great night's sleep. The owner was really welcoming and attentive, quick to respond to any requests. The overall environment was quiet and peaceful. For just over 200, it's excellent value for money. I'll definitely choose to stay here again if I'm passing through, and I truly recommend it to anyone needing a layover!"

"The hotel is located in the East Lake Grassland Resort within the Tengger Desert. Upon arriving at the resort's parking lot, the hotel's off-road vehicle transported us to the hotel situated in the desert. The hotel owner and the reception staff were very welcoming, and the bonfire party was excellent. Sandboarding and hiking in the desert were both a lot of fun. The hotel also had a fountain show in the evening. We booked a tent, and it was quite cold in the desert at night, but the beds had electric blankets and the quilts were very thick, so we didn't feel cold while sleeping. Make sure to zip up the tent completely at night, otherwise, cold air and mosquitoes will get in. The public restrooms and showers were spacious and clean. However, if you shower in the public bathroom and walk back to your tent in flip-flops, your feet will get covered in sand. I suggest the hotel owner place some benches at the entrance of the public bathrooms to allow guests to dry their feet before putting on sneakers to walk back to their tents. The hotel's restaurant offered good value for money, and the portion sizes were generous, making dinner very convenient. The breakfast had a good variety, and the beef buns and small dishes were delicious. The activities at the scenic area are all offered as package deals, and individual activities cannot be purchased separately. However, you can hike from the desert to the activity center to try your luck. I felt that the duration and distance of the activities were too short, so I didn't participate. Hiking in the desert was very interesting, and it wasn't hot in autumn. Walking along the tops of the sand dunes for several kilometers was a great way to experience the desert scenery."

"The hotel's exterior aesthetic is definitely on point, and the small decor outside each room is perfect for photos. You can easily spend half a day exploring the surrounding farms and the Ming Great Wall. The entire Yellow River Homestay complex also offers a good variety of businesses. However, the interior of the room was quite disappointing. While they claim the dim lighting is for stargazing, I personally don't believe a vanity light would significantly impact the night sky. The dim lighting coupled with the square room shape, to put it nicely, made it feel a bit like a creepy escape room. You couldn't even see your face clearly in the mirror, and I imagine children would be quite scared. The cleanliness was also subpar. The air conditioner panel was covered in a layer of grime, making the numbers illegible. There were two giant millipedes in the bathtub, which no one seemed to care about. They said they crawled up from the drain, but isn't blocking drains standard procedure for hotels now? One of the bedside lamps was broken, the desk lamp switch had fallen onto the floor, and the TV power cord wasn't plugged in. It felt like they expected guests to discover all these issues themselves. They also forgot to send the evening dessert. The explanation was that we checked in too late, past the designated time. However, during check-in, we clearly heard them asking other guests if they wanted evening milk. (Though, I'm lactose intolerant and don't drink milk anyway, and they did compensate by sending coffee promptly the next day). Furthermore, when guests raised issues, the hotel staff always tried to defend themselves first instead of readily admitting to problems. Their customer complaint handling definitely needs improvement."

"The location is absolutely stunning, with unobstructed views all over the place, overlooking the Helan Mountains. The view when I open the curtains every morning is breathtaking! The entire winery is a haven of understated luxury, with top-notch facilities that are subtly elegant. The Acqua di Parma toiletries and Gessi bathroom fixtures make you feel truly pampered, instantly washing away all your worries. In the evenings, you can light a brazier in the courtyard, sit by the fire, listen to the crackling of the wood, and chat with friends – pure bliss! The restaurant's Wenzhou specialties are all excellent, and the Yinchuan-style hand-pulled mutton is even more flavorful than what we've had in the city! Highly recommend trying one of the only 7 guest rooms available. After the wine tasting in the public area closes at night, you have access to the entire estate! The service is also incredibly gentle, attentive, and considerate – a big thumbs up! 👍🏻 Special Features: Exclusive one-way pick-up or drop-off service from Yinchuan Railway Station or Hedong Airport to your room; 3 professionally edited travel photos (excluding makeup and styling, not combined)."

"Before I went, I looked at the pictures very beautiful. Because of temporary overtime, it was dark at the hotel and missed the sunset, but I was shocked by the warm lights and stars of the hotel. It was really like a fairy tale cabin! ! The toiletries in the room also smelled good lavender! Although I can’t pick grapes in winter, there is no bonfire. The weather is a bit cold, but it’s worthwhile to see this beautiful starry sky. I also met our Dali fellow sister here. It’s really not easy to meet fellows in Yinchuan. I hope I have the opportunity to find you again in the future! My friend also gave a ”northwest is much more fun than the northeast” evaluation. Overall, the experience is very good. The room is very beautiful and warm. The hot red wine is very delicious. The breakfast is exquisite and delicious. I look forward to picking grapes in summer and autumn! !"

"The winery's red wine series is named after the 'Feng Ya Song' of the Book of Songs, and has won many awards. The owner started planting grapes, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, in 2015. It's said to be the world's second Bordeaux region. The front desk staff were very welcoming and gave us a detailed tour of the vineyard and winery, which left a deep impression. You can really see the owner's dedication; the entire hotel is very well-maintained and fully equipped. My friends and I have planned to come back in September when the grapes ripen to help with the harvest, enjoy the joy of the bounty, and perhaps even earn some room fees."

"Because of the sudden drop in temperature, the owner thoughtfully arranged a cabin for us in advance. It was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The food was plentiful and delicious! The kids loved it after a day of fun."

"The room was unique, the bed was comfortable, and the receptionist was very helpful, even picking us up in the evening. However, I have to complain about some of the facilities and amenities. First, the soaking tub on the terrace was huge, but when we tried to fill it at night, the water level was surprisingly low. After an hour and a half, it only reached our ankles. At this rate, it would take until midnight to fill it, and by then the water would be completely cold, so we had to give up. Then, when we turned off the lights, the room was filled with a green glow, which was terrifying. I've never seen an emergency exit warning light installed in a room before. Also, the bay window was so small, and there was no bedding, making it impossible to sit or watch TV. The curtains on the bed were also problematic; when they came down, they were right in front of our faces, forcing us to wear a veil to sleep. Finally, the air conditioner unit was right above the lounge chair on the terrace, making it noisy, leaking, and completely soaked, rendering it unusable. I strongly suggest improvements to these issues!"
