Homestays in Inner Mongolia, China

The moment I stepped into the room, I was greeted by a lovely fragrance. The ambiance was elegant, and everything was spotlessly clean. The room itself was very spacious, and the location is fantastic – right above the subway entrance and Wanda Plaza. I'll definitely be booking this place again next time.

The unique structure of the accommodation and the friendliness of the owner/staff was the highlight of the place. It was a low season towards end of Sep so there were not many customers at the resort, but we were greeted with warm smiles. There is a skyline window that can be opened up to see the night sky and stars, and also provided with Gatlin firework to play which were fabulous! The breakfast in the morning was also great as it is prepared individually so we don't end up wasting food. We booked the double bedroom unit but unfortunately the staff didn't inform us that we had to use the shower separately in order to maintain the hot water and pressure as both showers share the same. Also we were not used to how the air-con/heater works so the temp went up to 31 deg at around 3am and we had to open the side door to let in cold air.

Clean room with a large bed for an inexpensive price, in good location. The hotel is on the sixth floor of an unassuming building, and there are no signboards anywhere, so it's best to ask around. I asked in a nearby shop and someone helped me to find it. The staff were very friendly. There was a deposit I had to pay. My room didn't have windows, so it got a bit stuffy. I asked if I could get an electric fan, but they didn't have any. I was overall very happy with the stay.

My stay at this hotel far exceeded my expectations! What impressed me most was the projector in the room. The picture quality was crystal clear, and the sound system was excellent, making watching movies while snuggled in bed feel like having a private cinema. The cleanliness was absolutely impeccable. The bed linens were spotless white and odorless, and you could walk barefoot on the bathroom tiles without picking up any dust. Even the remote control was wiped perfectly clean, which made me feel completely at ease during my stay. Definitely superb value for money!

Absolutely rave reviews for this hotel! Here are the main points: 1. The location is fantastic, the rooms are incredibly clean, and the surroundings are very quiet. 2. The owner was incredibly kind. We couldn't find the hotel at first, but he came down to pick us up, which was very touching. 3. We were from out of town, so we asked the owner about local specialties, and he enthusiastically recommended local delicacies. 4. The room provided disposable bath towels and hand towels, which were very hygienic. They also included disposable toilet seats and bath towels, which was a really thoughtful touch. I will definitely stay here again if I visit Ulanqab again.

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)

I have stayed here four or five times. Every time I see that this place has rooms available, I will book it without hesitation. It is very clean, the quilt is very comfortable, and the projector is also very useful. The landlord is also very nice. There is a subway station downstairs, so it is very convenient to go everywhere.

To sum it up, I was quite unsatisfied with this stay. **Facilities - 4 stars**: The room was very clean, tidy, and new. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower water was hot, and the heating was excellent. However, the advertised 'smart toilet' was actually just a regular one. **Service - 3 stars**: This was the most disappointing aspect. Firstly, on check-in day, I specifically told housekeeping that daily cleaning wasn't needed, just a replenishment of water and any missing consumables. The room only provided two 300ml and two 150ml small bottles of drinking water. Given the dry northern climate and the heating during my stay, the room was extremely dry. Despite this, only two bottles were restocked daily, forcing me to ask the front desk for more every day. Secondly, regarding breakfast: for a 38 RMB standard, it was exactly the same every single day of my stay. The steamed pumpkin was undercooked on two occasions. The picture shows the portion for two adults. After clearly stating it wasn't enough, they added two fried dough sticks. I also overheard the next table being denied an extra egg when they asked for one. The day before checking out, I informed the front desk about my early morning departure. The front desk staff proactively asked about breakfast, and my family mentioned they only needed a few boiled eggs to take away. However, upon checkout, the kitchen had prepared nothing and even questioned us with an incredulous 'Do you *have* to eat?'. It was infuriating. For a 500+ RMB room rate, this is the quality of a 38 RMB breakfast? Before my trip, I looked at many guesthouses. I finally settled on this one after reading reviews, which were almost all positive. However, my expectations were largely unfulfilled. While the hardware (facilities) was excellent, everything involving the human element was a letdown. Perhaps it was due to the off-peak season, or other reasons, but if my friends plan to visit Ulan Butong, I will not recommend they stay here.

The owner upgraded my room for free. The cleanliness was acceptable. It's very close to the airport and the price is reasonable, making it a good choice for a layover. The edamame and peanuts at the owner's barbecue restaurant were delicious. I saw in the reviews that they offered free airport pick-up and drop-off, but after asking, I found out it's just pick-up, not drop-off.

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.
