Homestays in Xinjiang, China

Came here on a popular weekend, the hotel was fully booked. The location is easy to find with navigation. Parking is available at the guesthouse, though the alley can be a bit tricky to navigate. Since we drove, but parking was a hassle, we mostly used taxis to get around. The street outside is full of wholesale shops and is constantly congested. There are also many late-night food stalls in the evening. The room was very clean, and the showerhead was large with great water pressure, making for a comfortable shower (though it's an electric water heater, so it only supports one person showering at a time; the second person has to wait). Shampoo and shower gel (P&G Rejoice brand) were provided. There’s also a rooftop where you can dry clothes, which is very convenient! Pic 4 shows the exaggerated Xinjiang-style decor. Pic 7 is the lovely alleyway outside the guesthouse. Pic 8 is the guesthouse lobby!

I stayed one night at the Togelun Xia Mu Gaodi Stargazing Camp, and it was a truly fantastic experience, definitely five stars! There's also an adorable Golden Retriever named 'Niangao' (Rice Cake). From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptionally thoughtful. The staff proactively helped us with our luggage to our room and patiently explained the room facilities. They also reminded us of the best times to see the 'golden mountains' (sunlit peaks) and for stargazing, and even arranged a Tajik home visit – very considerate. The room amenities were also a pleasant surprise. There was a Yuewell nasal oxygen concentrator and underfloor heating, so it wasn't cold at all at night. The bathroom featured a Jomoo wet/dry separation design, and the toiletries were from Chando, a well-known domestic brand that felt reliable. The most delightful surprise was that the tents and outdoor furniture were all from Mobigarden, ensuring brand consistency and a premium feel. Overall, the facilities are complete, the service is warm, and the attention to detail is excellent. I was very satisfied with this stay and highly recommend it!

When driving to Kashgar Old City, I usually park at Kunlun Tower. The hotel is conveniently located directly across the street from the parking lot, making it easy to find. The front desk service was excellent. I left a piece of clothing on the first day, and it was still there when I returned on the third day. Very impressive!

The owner was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to help us with so much! It was truly heartwarming to experience such kindness, especially while being away from home. The fact that they are pet-friendly is a huge bonus! And the mattress was incredibly comfortable. We ended up staying for a total of 5 days and had a truly wonderful time!

hotel is very well designed with local authentic style, very convenient to get in because it is close to the south gate of ancient town. The receptionist is very helpful, very friendly, the first day when we arrived the hotel sent receptionist to the gate to help us carry our luggages and took us inside. This is the ancient town so you need to get luggages checked through security scanning machine. The ancient town is very beautiful and it is a must visit when you come to South Xinjiang. In general we feel very comfortable and convenient to stay in this home stay. First night as the hotel was full so we had to stay in a small room, but when we came back after several days they provided us a big room, I can feel their care to the guests and tried to serve at their best

The moment I arrived in the courtyard with my luggage, a lady offered me freshly washed mulberries! The front desk staff even helped me with my bags. There are several mulberry trees in the courtyard, with purple, pink, and white mulberries, and the pink ones are the sweetest! The owner is always busy; sweeping and hosing down the courtyard in the mornings (because so many mulberries fall), and making mulberry jam in the afternoons. They are incredibly accommodating! When one of the ladies wanted to play guitar, they immediately took us to borrow one.

This is the most satisfying homestay during this trip to Xinjiang. As soon as I entered the door, I was amazed by the green plants in the yard, which was full of life. The owner is very tasteful, and every corner of the homestay reveals the enthusiasm and romance of Xinjiang. The room is better looking than the photo, the decoration is textured, and it is very comfortable to live in. The location is also ideal. The car can drive directly to the door, and a few steps away is the lively pedestrian street. It is very convenient to eat, drink and go shopping. I really recommend it.

This newly opened hotel boasts a superb location, nestled against a mountain and facing the water, offering a beautiful environment. However, it's a bit far from the county town, so you'll need to drive or take a ride to get there. I stayed in a capsule room, which was clean, hygienic, and equipped with smart, convenient facilities. It was very pleasant to sit on the sun deck, sipping tea and chatting.

I only stayed for one night. Luckily I had the dorm room for myself. It is a quiet place with a nice outdoor place to sit. Hot shower and laundry is available. Beautiful paintings on the building. They do accept foreigner (by law they have to anyways) and I could park my bicycle at a safe place.

I chose to stay at the Air Garden in the old city the night before leaving Kashgar to see the apricot blossoms in Southern Xinjiang. As soon as I completed my booking, the guesthouse manager contacted me to ask if I needed airport transfer and informed me about the local weather conditions. I felt a sense of warmth even before checking in. Since vehicles aren't allowed in the old city, the manager informed me of the drop-off point and picked me up the night before check-in. This service was fantastic and saved me the awkwardness of dragging my luggage around looking for the place. The hotel used to be the residence of a local 'Master Bayi' who was in the jade business. His eldest son later inherited the business and expanded it internationally. The original residence was very luxurious. Later, a boss from Hunan bought it and preserved the original four floors. The current third and fourth floors are replicas of the original residence, featuring exquisite wood carvings, making it a wood carving museum. Guests can visit for free. The fifth to seventh floors are the guesthouse, and the first floor sells jade. On the day of check-in, I received a complimentary jade 'peace buckle' from the guesthouse, which was a thoughtful touch 👍 The room decor had a distinct local flavor. Welcome fruits were already waiting in the room, and the mini-bar was free to enjoy. The super-large terrace offered a fantastic spot for enjoying the night view. On the day of check-in, I got to enjoy a complimentary afternoon tea. The pastries were exquisite, and sipping tea while admiring the beautiful scenery of the old city made all my worries disappear. This hotel boasts the highest vantage point in the entire old city, perfect for watching sunsets and sunrises. I didn't get to experience it this time, but I'll definitely try it next time. A big thank you to my manager, a handsome local guy, who was with me from the moment I booked until I left. He showed me around and explained the stories behind the wood carving museum, promptly resolved any requests I had during my stay, and patiently inquired about my airport transfer. Thumbs up! The guesthouse manager arranges breakfast for guests on the fifth floor according to their requested time. You can choose to dine indoors or outdoors. The breakfast spread was rich and well-balanced; I couldn't even finish it all by myself 😂 This guesthouse has only 10 rooms, offering a high degree of privacy. The elevator and entrances all use facial recognition. After checking in, I had a travel photoshoot with makeup on, and afterwards, the facial recognition surprisingly didn't work 😂 This only further convinced me of the guesthouse's excellent security! 👍 Although it's a guesthouse, it's very well-managed. Here, I truly experienced what 'customer-first' means. The guesthouse manager, Ms. Jin, an elegant lady, genuinely cares for guests, making everyone feel at home. I heard that after May 1st, the guesthouse will offer a service where managers take guests on tours of the old city. This is a brilliant idea, saving guests who are unfamiliar with the old city the hassle of getting lost. I look forward to the guesthouse getting better and better. The guesthouse's amenity kit is beautiful, and the manager said I could take it home, which is great! 😄 I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Kashgar. I highly recommend everyone to experience the charm of this guesthouse up close and hear its stories firsthand.
