Homestays in Gansu, China

"Dit hotel in de woestijn zit vol verrassingen! De faciliteiten zijn zo compleet dat u er niets op aan te merken hebt en het verblijf is supercomfortabel en ontspannend. Er zijn zoveel leuke activiteiten dat er elke dag nieuwe bijkomen, zodat u zich niet zult vervelen. Het hotelontwerp is vol met lokale kenmerken, waardoor mensen zich voelen alsof ze in een historisch plaatje van Dunhuang zijn beland. De service is ook supergoed en het personeel is supervriendelijk en gastvrij. Het is prachtig om 's nachts de sterren in de woestijn te kunnen zien!"

"Wonderful place and wonderful family! The best accommodation we stayed in in China. Perfect position very close to the monastery. Very clean. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a snack of dried dates, bread, butter and tzampa, accompanied by some delicious tea. We stayed with this family for two days and they always offered us breakfast, the first day with house tea and fresh bread, the second day with coffee and fried bread. We spent the evening with them and they always kept offering us food and tea, always making us feel welcome. The house is wonderful, ******* style, wooden, always very clean. The beds are really comfortable, and they have a warming blanket. Inside our room we also had an electric heater to warm ourselves, which made the room really warm and cosy. The bathroom has hot water. You can fill your water bottles from the drinking water containers they have in front of each room. We always saw them cleaning the common areas. The owner, his wife and their three children welcomed us warmly like family. I will recommend them to all my friends. Really recommended!"

"This hostel is the best stay for my trip. Everything ais good. The hotel is decorated with woods, so mostly all are wooden made. Very classy & super clean. Very friendly & helpful stuff. Have free cleaning services. The hostel just in front of the old town which at night u can walk around. Also very near the Fu Si Miao about 15 min walks. There are plenty of restaurant just outside the hostel. Good taste and not expensive too. All the below are within walking distances"

"Absolutely loved this hotel! The staff is super charming and kind and helpful The location is in the newly developed ”old street” which is very charming. In the area there are many restaurants and some bars. Yet the hotel is very quiet. There is underground parking and a lift directly from parking to hotel floors. The room is very well designed and well equipped. I particularly loved the fact that although I arrived around midnight I was able to give my clothes for washing and they were ready when I woke up. They have a washing machine with a dryer function. And I really needed some laundry after two weeks of travel across South Korea. The 2pm check out was also quite amazing as I was super tired after my long journey day before"

"Hoewel de onlangs geopende winkel enkele tekortkomingen heeft, is hij over het algemeen nog steeds erg goed. De handelaar bereidde gratis instantnoedels als middernachtsnack. Er wordt gratis zonnebrandspray verstrekt. Met masker"

"Choosing Nashashan Homestay for my trip to Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain was the luckiest decision I made. The location, living environment, and owner's service all far exceeded my expectations. I genuinely recommend it to all visitors coming to Dunhuang. The homestay is nestled at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, just a 10-minute walk directly to the scenic area's entrance. This means no waking up early to beat traffic, no enduring the scorching sun to go back and forth. You can head out early to catch the desert sunrise and return to the courtyard in the evening to quietly enjoy the sunset's afterglow. With minimal light pollution at night, you just look up to see a sky full of dazzling stars – a truly immersive experience of the desert landscape, far from the city's hustle and bustle, quiet and healing. The courtyard is a rammed earth courtyard with distinct Northwestern characteristics, meticulously kept clean and tidy, with tables, chairs, and greenery artfully arranged. Sitting in the courtyard in the evening, enjoying the breeze and drinking tea, creates an incredibly atmospheric vibe. The guest rooms are spacious and airy, with impeccable cleanliness down to the smallest detail. The bedding is soft and dust-free, and every corner and bathroom is thoroughly cleaned. Considering Dunhuang's dry climate, each room is equipped with a humidifier. The independent bathrooms have separate wet and dry areas, with abundant and stable hot water. The hairdryer is powerful, making it easy to quickly clean off sand after playing. The blackout curtains provide excellent sound insulation, ensuring a solid night's sleep after a day of exploration. The homestay also has a self-service laundry and drying area and free parking, which is very convenient for self-driving guests to store luggage and wash sandy clothes. The facilities are comprehensive and thoughtful. What touched me the most was the owner's warm and genuine service, completely devoid of any commercial detachment. Upon arrival, they proactively helped with luggage and made check-in quick and efficient. They also meticulously explained off-peak routes for visiting the scenic area, recommended lesser-known photo spots, and suggested local restaurants frequented by residents. During my stay, any requests were promptly addressed, whether it was refilling drinking water or borrowing items – they were always on call. They were gentle and patient, and in their free time, they would chat with guests about local customs and traditions, making it feel just like staying at a relative's home. For its location, this homestay offers excellent value for money, combining the charm of the desert with a comfortable living experience, making it suitable for couples, families, and friends traveling together. The thoughtful service and superb location added so much warmth to my Dunhuang trip. The next time I visit Mingsha Mountain, Nashashan Homestay will still be my first choice, and I will definitely recommend this hidden gem to my friends planning trips."

"Gratis in- en uitstappen, handig parkeren, vriendelijke baas, je kunt de Melkweg zien, de openbare toiletten en doucheruimtes zijn ook erg schoon, er zijn veel ontbijtopties, meer dan 90% van de B&B's. Het enige spijtige is dat er geen airconditioning in de yurt is. Overdag moet je buiten spelen, maar dit heeft geen invloed op je slaap 's nachts."

"Best hotel I’ve stayed in on my trip. The family made me feel so welcome. The room was very comfortable and quiet. Lots of hot water. Food was great. They gave me a bike to cycle to the grasslands and did my washing for free! Also dropped me at the bus station. So kind and lovely. And the owner speaks perfect English."
