Homestays in Shandong, China

Five-star review for Courtyard No. 8 B&B! The location is absolutely perfect, making it super convenient to explore all the nearby attractions. The courtyard itself is quiet and elegant, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the bustling city – the ambiance is fantastic. Our room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were comprehensive and good quality. The owner and staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful; they proactively recommended sightseeing routes and local eateries. Our entire stay was hassle-free and relaxing. It offers excellent value for money. This will be my top choice for future visits to the area, and I'll definitely stay at Courtyard No. 8 again!

The overall stay experience is excellent, the rooms are cleaned meticulously, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the sound insulation effect is excellent. The front desk staff is warm and efficient, the location is excellent, the supporting facilities are perfect, the price is full, and the next trip is still the first choice.

This stay far exceeded our expectations, and I simply have to give a huge shout-out to the hotel and its concierge team! We were two families traveling together – two dads with three kids, including two little girls. What truly blew us away was the concierge service. Every morning, the concierge would beautifully braid the two little girls' hair, and each day they'd have a different, professionally done, and intricate style. One of the things the kids looked forward to most each morning was going to the concierge to 'get their hair done.' This level of thoughtful attention was genuinely touching and went completely beyond what we'd ever expect from hotel service. The hotel's check-in process was also incredibly accommodating. Official check-in was at 3 PM, but the concierge informed us in advance that if our room was ready, we could communicate and check in earlier. We arrived about two hours early that day, and to our delight, we were able to check in without a hitch. For families traveling with children, this kind of flexible and considerate arrangement is absolutely invaluable and made our trip so much smoother. The family room design was another pleasant surprise. The slide in the room became the kids' paradise; all three of them had a blast playing on it every day. We stayed for six days, and the kids barely touched the TV because the room itself was so engaging and entertaining, they never got bored. For families with kids, this kind of design is a massive bonus. Furthermore, we stayed in the 'Up'-themed sea-view room, and the view was absolutely unbeatable. With the living room and two bedrooms, you could see the ocean from three sides. Whether we were relaxing in the living room or waking up in the bedroom, a vast sea view greeted us. Watching the sunrise, sunset, and the endless expanse of the sea and sky every day filled our entire vacation with immense happiness. From the service and room design to the scenic experience, our whole family was extremely satisfied with this stay. If you're a family traveling with children, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place without a second thought.

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!

The guesthouse is located by the roadside with parking, making it suitable for those driving. The courtyard has beautiful landscaping, perfect for taking photos. The rooms have underfloor heating, so the temperature is just right. The breakfast selection isn't extensive, but the food is quite tasty and enjoyable. The guesthouse is conveniently located near Hongmen and Tianwaicun, easily accessible by foot or bus.

First of all, the decor is great; I loved it at first sight, and the room matches the picture perfectly. It's very clean, the room is spacious, and it's soundproof—not noisy at all. Downstairs is the Shandong University Night Market, with tons of delicious and cheap food to choose from, including supermarkets, fruit shops, restaurants, and more. In short, buy it without hesitation, no complaints!!!

Every year, my friends and I go on a relaxing trip, and this time we opted for a local getaway. I'm a bit of a clean freak, and I chose this B&B for our trip to Qingdao. Overall, the stay was excellent. The kitchen was spotlessly clean, and all the equipment and cooking utensils were thoroughly washed, just like at home. In the evening, we bought some seafood from the seafood market at the community entrance, and the landlady enthusiastically guided us on how to prepare it. There was also fresh draft beer available at the community entrance. The two families enjoyed seafood and beer, and after dinner, we could play mahjong. There was even a large projection screen and projector for the kids to watch their favorite cartoons, with clear picture quality for a great viewing experience. It truly felt like living a charmed life! 😂😂😂 The indoor bathroom floor drain was well-maintained, with no sewer odors. The toilet, floor tiles, and corners were all immaculately clean, with no dead spots, hair, or stains on the floor. The host clearly prioritizes hygiene, conducting a deep clean after every guest checks out. The B&B's price is reasonable, it's well-equipped, and the location is excellent, making it very convenient for dining and shopping. It's also very close to the Qingdao International Beer Festival. The owner is a genuine and well-connected person; he even found a friend to get us four concert tickets for the main venue of the Beer City, which was a huge surprise and added wonderful memories to our trip. It's clear that the owner pays great attention to room details. This place is perfect for a trip, offering great value for money. I'll definitely book here again when I visit Golden Beach, and I sincerely recommend it to all travelers.
