Khuzhir Hotels with Wifi

"The lady at the front desk (other staff called her 'Mom') only spoke Russian. She asked me to add her on WeChat, but then she wouldn't reply to my messages when I had questions. I had to go find her in person. The hotel has so many rules, especially not allowing guests to take hot water from the breakfast area. When I asked for dining recommendations, she barely bothered to respond. A cup of brewed coffee at breakfast costs 200 rubles, while instant coffee is free. They are very unfriendly towards Chinese guests! I asked her to arrange a boat trip, which cost 2000 rubles per person. In reality, it was within walking distance. She called a taxi for 300 rubles one way, so 600 rubles round trip. The problem was the driver didn't show up for the return trip, so I ended up walking back anyway. What a waste of money! There's no need for a boat trip; you can just walk around the island. For those who can ride horses, a 3-hour ride in the woods by the lake on the island costs 5000 rubles. You can ride 20-30 kilometers south in the morning for 3 hours, and another 20-30 kilometers north in the afternoon for 3 hours. It's basically a great deal. The horse owner really hopes people will ride together. If you book both morning and afternoon 3-hour sessions at once, you might even get it for 8000 rubles. It's guaranteed to be exhilarating; a good horse can cover 50 kilometers in 3 hours. It's cheaper and more thrilling than an off-road vehicle."

"The good points: 1. Hot water in the room is readily available and unlimited. 2. The heating is excellent; even at -30 degrees Celsius, the room is perfectly warm. 3. The deluxe room has floor-to-ceiling glass doors with a fantastic view. 4. The hotel has a restaurant that is absolutely delicious; it was rated the best meal we had in Russia by other members of our group. 5. The spa is worth trying; the massage therapists are very professional. 6. The hotel receptionist will help you call a taxi. The bad points: 1. The breakfast selection is average; there are no hot drinks, and you have to pay extra for hot milk. The only coffee options are Americano and Espresso, which is quite suffocating. 2. It's incredibly noisy! You can hear everything from the next room, and I'm woken up by their alarm clock in the morning. When someone walks through the wooden corridor, the whole place feels like it's pounding. It's impossible to get a decent rest. However, this is probably a common problem with log cabins. Overall, if your budget is under 1,000 yuan, this store is acceptable; the price-performance ratio is decent."

"I really love this beautiful hotel. A friendly lady staff very nice and helpful, she arranged all the trasport travel around the village and lakeside viewing such a great trip. I highly recommend this country style hostel."

"The room facilities are all there, but they are very simple. The socket is the same as in China and does not need a conversion head. The bed is 1.2 meters and sleeps well for 3 nights. There is a terrace outside the room where you can bask in the sun. The owner of the hotel is a pair of Chinese and a pair of I. They will not be very enthusiastic, but they are very kind. They lent us a shovel to dig sand and will remember my taboo. Two nights were dinner at the hotel, three dishes and one soup, very homely, very good for the Chinese stomach, good taste, it is a bit expensive. There is hot porridge for breakfast and a small stir-fried dish. Considering that it is in the village on the island, give 4 points in the overall. For overseas free travel experience is relatively small, or do not speak Russian, English is not good, or you have a Chinese stomach, you can consider living here."

"The island is mostly filled with guesthouses like these, with shared bathrooms and showers, owners who speak English, good natural scenery, and decent locations. I heard that to protect the island's environment, large-scale hotel construction is not allowed, so almost all the accommodations on the island are of this type."
