Homestays in Inner Mongolia, China

Travelling with a party of four so this was one of the places that offered bigger rooms for 4. Nicely located above a large shopping mall so food options were a plenty. Cleanliness was generally good but there was a smoke smell emitting from the aircon and some of the lights were too dim/not working. The name on Trip.com is different from that found on the sign outside unit 2410 (the check in address) so was confused momentarily. The staff lady was very helpful and polite. For the price, given its location and quality, I think it’s worth a stay.

First off, the location is truly excellent, a unique advantage. There's a hot spring hotel right next door where you can enjoy a soak. However, the overall management and service facilities are severely lacking! Let's start with the hygiene: urine stains on the toilet seat, hair everywhere you look, and debris falling from the ceiling when you turn on the 'starry sky' light – I honestly don't know what to say. Then there's the service; it feels like there's barely any service at all. For example, regarding the hot spring tickets included in the package, shouldn't you remind guests beforehand to bring their own swimsuits? (Mine cost over 300 yuan!) And for the volcano tickets, shouldn't you confirm guest information and redeem them in advance? (When I was ready to leave and went to the front desk for the tickets, they told me to buy them on the spot, then I had to provide my ID again and go to another ticket office to exchange them. This whole process took a good half hour!) I can accept your high prices, but at the very least, your service and hygiene should match. I hope you see this review and make improvements. Don't disappoint customers who've traveled so far to get here!

From check-in to check-out, the entire process was flawless! The location is convenient, the environment is clean, and the service is attentive. I felt as comfortable as at home and would highly recommend it to everyone. The room was spacious, but the only drawback was the lack of a light switch by the bedside.

There are many B&Bs around the volcano. I thought this one has three stores and is relatively large, so I decided to stay at this one. We were upgraded to a starry sky room. The room was very big, with two double beds, and it was cleaned very well. The bedding and towels should all be washed together, very new and clean ~ But the horse-riding sculpture outside the window looks a bit scary 😅 It was still very cold during the May Day holiday. I turned on the air conditioner and covered myself with a quilt at night. The quilt was quite thick. The bathroom is still quite cold. But there is nothing we can do about it. At night, I caught someone setting off firecrackers after 10 o'clock. It was right next to the house. It was very noisy. There should be regulations on the area and time for setting off firecrackers. It is not very friendly to the baby's sleep. I hope it will be improved~

The room was incredibly clean and tidy, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It was fully equipped with everything you could need, making it feel just like home. The location is also super convenient, close to transportation and shopping. The host was incredibly welcoming, responded to messages super fast, and patiently answered all my questions. Their service was truly attentive! Overall, my experience was perfect, and the value for money is outstanding. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit and highly recommend it to everyone!

I booked this tent because I wanted my child to be able to play in the sand right outside. First, the positives: The room was unexpectedly spacious and clean, with new and tasteful furniture. Even though it's a tent, it felt very stable during windy nights. The room's location was truly excellent. We stayed in room 1019, which was at the very end, with sand dunes right outside our door. Adults could sit at their tent entrance and watch their children dig and slide in the sand – it was very convenient and felt like a real vacation. Although meals aren't provided, there's a BBQ and hotpot restaurant just over a small dune, open from 6-10 pm, which was good enough. However, there were a few minor downsides: There was no hot water at the sink. While I understand that conditions are limited in the desert, it was very uncomfortable to wash hands and face with icy cold water when the temperature was low, especially since my child needed to wash their hands frequently after playing in the sand. I suggest the hotel's vending machines sell some wet wipes. When checking in, I asked the front desk if we needed to wear sand-proof shoe covers on the way to the tent, and the staff said no. This was completely misleading. There were many sections on the way where we had to walk through sand. Without shoe covers, sand definitely got into our shoes by the time we reached the tent. Checking in required purchasing a ticket package for Yuesha Island. We didn't actually use any of the facilities on Yuesha Island. It would have been better if this cost was included in the room rate. Otherwise, if you don't look closely at the booking, you might not notice this fee. Ultimately, the value for money wasn't as good as Fusha. However, being able to play in the sand right outside was my core requirement, so I didn't fuss about the price. Frankly, with these conditions in the desert, I would have been fine paying over a thousand yuan a night. Splitting it into a room fee and a package fee just made the package feel not worth it. Finally, when we returned to the tent at around 9 pm, we found the air conditioner was broken. With temperatures around 5-6 degrees Celsius, and my child having just returned from playing in the sand outside, the need for warmth was immense. We reported the AC issue to the housekeeper. Although they dealt with it immediately, it wasn't resolved until close to 10 or 11 pm. My child took a hot shower before the AC repair person arrived, and we were very nervous while drying him off, fearing he might get sick. After sleeping through the night, it still felt very cold in the tent in the morning. While the tent experience was fun, we really didn't dare to stay a second night. And the fact that the camp didn't offer any form of apology or comfort for the broken AC was disappointing. The next day, it was as if nothing had happened. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, something like this would at least warrant a complimentary afternoon tea or something similar. Of course, later, when I slipped and fell at the Lotus Hotel and they also offered no acknowledgment, this incident with the AC seemed less significant in comparison. Perhaps this is just the level of service here. Overall, without the AC issue, I would have given it five stars.

The guesthouse is in a fantastic location, just a few minutes' walk from the subway station, making it convenient to visit attractions and shopping areas. There are also supermarkets and local eateries nearby, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The room was clean and cozy, exactly as pictured, with no discrepancies whatsoever. The bedding was soft and comfortable, the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, and toiletries were provided—even small details like disposable towels and makeup remover pads were thoughtfully included. Staying here felt just like being at home.

The hotel has an elegant and clean environment, complete room facilities, comfortable bedding and good sleep. The staff is warm and caring, the travel is very convenient, the overall experience is excellent, I really recommend everyone to stay. The stay experience is particularly good, the room is clean and odorless, and the sound insulation effect is excellent. The service is thoughtful and meticulous, the location is excellent, the price is very high, and I will choose this next stay. The overall exceeded expectations, the health standard is high, and the supporting facilities are perfect. The clerk is friendly, responsive, and comfortable to live. It is a very satisfying stay experience.

The snow scene in Genhe may not be the most beautiful in the whole of Inner Mongolia, but sitting in the B&B in the forest, a southerner’s best expectations for the snow season have all come true. Environment: Compared with other more well-known (and more expensive) B&Bs, the location of this B&B is actually more unique. It's only one kilometer away from the busiest place in the city center, so it's convenient for eating or shopping. The most precious thing is that it is really ”sitting and looking at the forest”! The location is right on the edge of the Gen River. Directly south of the large floor-to-ceiling windows is the Watching Bridge and the forest. You can watch the sunrise on the left hand side around 7:30 every day and the sunset on the right hand side around 4 p.m. This should be unique in the entire Genhe! Facilities: The room is very warm, the design aesthetic is online, and it is comfortable to live in. When the weather is cold and you don’t want to go out, it’s good to stay in your room Service: The lady at the front desk and the boss are very enthusiastic. I originally planned to stay for two days and then leave Genhe for the next stop, but later I decided to stay for two more days. One day in the future I will definitely miss this wonderful time in Genhe. 50% of this wonderful time is because of this unique B&B. (I didn’t take any photos in the room, but the pictures were all taken on the terrace or side of the B&B)

Facilities: Very complete, with all kinds of items available. Cleanliness: Clean and cozy; it's rare to find such clean and cozy accommodation in such a remote location. Environment: The filming location for ”Goodbye My Love,” the surrounding area is quiet, and the residents are all locals, very kind and simple. You can see a shepherd herding sheep right outside the door. There are bonfire activities and fireworks at night. Service: Everyone was very warm and attentive. When we arrived, our room was on the shady side and a bit cold. Worried that our child might get cold at night, the manager kindly upgraded us to a larger room on the sunny side. Thank you! 🙏🏻
