Homestays in Shandong, China

The overall environment is excellent, offering a quiet escape while still being centrally located. It's about a 20-minute walk to popular attractions like Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, Wulongtan Park, and Furongli. Across from the experience center, you'll find major shopping malls like Henglong Plaza and Shimao International Plaza, as well as Quancheng Square, placing it right in the commercial hub. I was very impressed with the hotel's design and ambiance, and the service was quite good. The only downsides were the smell from the bathroom, which seemed to have drainage issues and lacked proper deodorization. Secondly, the entire Li Xia District was undergoing renovations, which made walking a bit inconvenient. Lastly, the guesthouse didn't offer breakfast, which was a minor disappointment. Despite these issues, my overall experience was very positive, especially with the guesthouse's design. It has a rich cultural heritage, with beautiful courtyard landscaping and old Jinan photos hanging in the corridors, all contributing to a comfortable stay. I hope they can address the bathroom issue.

Overall, the stay was excellent. The room was meticulously cleaned, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was superb. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, the location was excellent, the facilities were complete, and the value for money was outstanding. I would definitely choose this place again for my next trip.

If you're visiting Qingdao and staying at the Naomi Hotel, you absolutely must book a sea-view room. The panoramic views are fantastic and really lift your spirits; you can see both the ocean and the iconic May Fourth Square. The hotel is conveniently located near the subway, with MixC Mall right behind it, and a public beach just a kilometer away. It's very family-friendly, and my child especially loved the slide in the room. Both the front desk staff and the cleaning ladies were incredibly generous and welcoming, always quick to respond to any requests. I stayed for four days and experienced two different room types, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. For families or larger groups, choosing this hotel is more convenient and cost-effective than booking multiple rooms at a standard hotel.

This hostel experience far exceeded my expectations. The location is super convenient, making it easy to get around, eat, and shop. The rooms are spotless, the bedding is neat, and each bunk has a privacy curtain and charging port. Drawing the curtain creates a personal space with great privacy. The shared bathrooms are cleaned regularly and have no unpleasant odors. The owner and staff are friendly and responsive to any issues. The guests are quiet and friendly, and there's a comfortable common area to relax in. It's excellent value for money and perfect for a transitional stay. Highly recommended, I'll definitely choose this place again next time!

Absolutely blown away by Longting Vineyard! It totally lives up to its SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) reputation; the experience was just incredible. The entire estate is surrounded by sprawling vineyards, and the Southern French architectural style creates such a beautiful ambiance – every photo op felt like a professional shot. Our room, named after a grape varietal, was exquisitely designed and elegant, with so many thoughtful soft furnishing details. The rattan furniture and vintage lighting really added a touch of class. The room itself was spacious, and stepping out onto the balcony from the French windows, you're greeted by lush greenery. Our butler even upgraded our room type, offering distant views of the mountains and sea, which made the mornings and evenings incredibly therapeutic. The bedding was comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were high-end, ensuring a quiet and private stay. The staff – Molly, Xinyue, and Emily – were so warm and attentive. Check-in was efficient, and they thoughtfully provided guidance on various vineyard experiences. Spending our leisure time wine tasting and strolling, away from the city noise, made this the perfect choice for a getaway to Penglai. We'll definitely be back!

Stayed for three days, and here's my summary: The location is excellent, with scenic spots right downstairs, making it super convenient to get around. The sea view is stunning, much better than the photos. The room was clean and odor-free, well-decorated, and laid out efficiently. The soundproofing was also great. The concierge service was enthusiastic and always responded promptly to any requests. They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything. It’s perfect for friends looking for a sea-view room for their get-together. Highly recommended!

I tried to contact the Airbnb host through TripApp, but I didn't receive a reply as my departure date approached. I went to the address listed on TripApp, only to find it was incorrect. Arriving at 2 AM, I still couldn't reach the host. After a while, the host finally responded and gave me the correct address. The room conditions were not great; the door was broken and couldn't be locked. It took me a long time to get in touch with the host again. The only upside was that the Airbnb was in the city center, which was very convenient. The room was older than other places I've stayed, and even older than my own home. Because I had a lot of luggage, it felt small and inconvenient. The most inconvenient part was that the bathroom door was transparent, and we were worried about being seen from inside, so we weren't very satisfied with the service. However, the host did allow me to store my luggage there when my flight was delayed.

✨Here are a few different styles of rave reviews for you to choose from: Version 1: Heartfelt and atmospheric (most recommended) I was truly amazed by my stay this time! The arched window in the room was absolutely beautiful. Girls! This sea-view room is simply divine! 😭 The arched window creates such a fantastic vibe in photos; every shot looks like it's from a blockbuster movie! Waking up to the sea view in the morning and cozying up in front of the projector to watch a film at night filled me with such happiness. The room was spotless, equipped with all the appliances, making for a super comfortable stay. The beach is right downstairs, so getting out and about was incredibly convenient. The owner was also super nice. I'm definitely booking this place again next time!

It was pretty good, and the price was reasonable. The courtyard was quite nice. The breakfast selection was varied, but all dishes were freshly cooked. There was its own parking lot, so you could park there for an extra day if you were going hiking.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The room was exactly as shown in the photos—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a washing machine, kettle, complimentary bottled water, and even laundry detergent pods. Our receptionist went the extra mile by bringing us cold bottles of water instead of room-temperature ones, which was such a thoughtful gesture. They also provided us a list of places to eat- using AI I created an image - I hope it can help future visitors. 🌸 I will highly recommend ‘JUST WAVE’ as a place to eat as well. The bathroom was exceptionally clean, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. We stayed in Room 703, and although the entrance can be a little tricky to find at first. The people in the building were incredibly kind and helped point us in the right direction. One of the highlights of our trip was hiring scooters from the shop just downstairs. It was such a fun adventure and the perfect way to explore Weihai! As a small suggestion, a full-length mirror in the room and a sign at the elevator entrance with the homestay’s name in English and “7th Floor” would make arrival even easier for international guests. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Receiving a beautiful Weihai souvenir when we checked out was the perfect finishing touch and showed how much you care about your guests. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Weihai. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
