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!

After exploring Panlong Ancient Road and returning to National Highway 314, we arrived at the wetlands within minutes, enjoying beautiful scenery along the way. The tent facilities provided excellent comfort, ensuring a very good rest. We didn't bother going to the town across the way and opted to dine at the hotel's restaurant; the food was decent, and the staff quietly waited for us to finish at our leisure. It was a pity we didn't get to see the 'golden mountains' (sunlit snow peaks) in the morning, but being able to observe the snowy peaks from inside the tent without enduring the cold wind outside was a great alternative. For the home visit, a local young man named Saifeike Tagamili took us to his old house and resettlement home. He even let us pet an 8-day-old calf and stroke a sheep's rear end. He was very amusing and made the experience especially enjoyable.

The owner was incredibly warm and hospitable, going out of his way to help with luggage and open doors. This guesthouse has a very distinctive local charm, and I absolutely loved the beautiful decor. The rooms were clean, and the facilities were fully equipped – you can even do laundry and cook! There are plenty of dining options nearby, and it's conveniently located not far from Kashgar Old City and Xiangfei Park. This place offers excellent value for money; don't hesitate to book, as it fills up fast!

This hotel is amazing, with great staff and services. It’s well located with enough shops nearby if you need snacks. It’s also a few minutes drive from the Karez Garden experience and near other activities, such as the market. The site where the hotel is located is at a new place that imitates that of an ancient Uyghur city so it’s an attraction on its own. The room was very clean and comfortable, with all ameneties needed. I want to point out that the staff was very friendly and kind, and it was a real pleasure staying there. I will be staying there again if I return to Turpan and I will recommend the place to my friends. Thank you very much!

The B&B's location is excellent, right next to Guizi Alley and just across the river from Hestian Old Street. It's a short walk to the Kuche Grand Mosque and the Prince's Palace. The exterior of the rooms is designed in a minimalist style, reminiscent of ancient residences, while the interior is fully equipped and comfortable. There's also a private parking lot, making it very car-friendly.

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

Lovely hotel in great location. Rooftop area which looked over the back of the show outside the ancient town area. Breakfast upon request was delivered in small takeaway boxes. Cute but a lot of plastic waste. However the rooms had the big water dispensers in with the kettle attached which was great. Shower area had big shared bottles of shampoo etc., which was also great 😊

Our stay at the Shar Starry Sky Glamping camp in Karajun Grassland was a truly rejuvenating and luxurious experience! The camp is nestled in the core area of a World Natural Heritage site, offering breathtaking views. From our window, we could see vast grasslands and continuous snow-capped mountains – the scenery was absolutely stunning. The starry dome we stayed in was incredibly impressive. It offered unobstructed panoramic views, allowing us to watch the grassland sunset right from our bed. At night, with no city light pollution, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and the provided telescope made stargazing super convenient – the kids absolutely loved it. Both the owner and the staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, responding 24/7. They even offered stargazing explanations. The camp provides excellent privacy, with ample space between each room, making it quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was rich and authentic, featuring traditional flatbread (nang) and fresh milk – the grassland cuisine was delicious. Away from the hustle and bustle, falling asleep under the stars and waking up to the view of snow-capped mountains – this is what a true luxury wilderness getaway should be. Highly recommended!

Amazing hostel! Beautiful building and a very inviting common area. Everyone is talking to each other, it’s so easy to meet people :) I wish I could have stayed longer. Unfortunately they don’t accept foreigners anymore :(

The room is nice, the yard is clean, there is a garden, an area for drying clothes, a restaurant, and there is a front desk guy who is almost my grandfather's age, and he is very smooth when checking in. Seeing that he is older, he is super enthusiastic to help a few of us carry our luggage! ! ! ! Being warmed! Starry Sky Room is really recommended! You can really see the stars at night. The only thing is that you are woken up by the dazzling sunlight in the middle of your sleep! (I tried to pass the test at night and couldn’t do it because it was too late, so I didn’t bother)
