Guest UserBecause the Duku Highway was closed, we changed our itinerary and booked a hotel at the last minute. It turned out to be the best hotel in our price range during our ten-plus days of travel. Problems were resolved quickly, the environment was clean and tidy, and they were very child-friendly! We even got a 10% discount at the Lotus Restaurant next door.
I'll definitely stay here again if I go to Sayram Lake next time.

The front desk and Trip.com concierge were warm and thoughtful, proactively helping with our luggage. The complimentary fruit platter was of high quality. Both the first and second floors of the LOFT were equipped with toilets, which was convenient for guests staying on the second floor. The room facilities were complete, and there was a balcony on the first floor where we could enjoy the sunset. The room initially only came with two towels and two bath towels. Although we called the front desk and had two more sets delivered later, it would be better for a quadruple room to be fully equipped from the start.

Guest UserFacing the entire Sayram Lake with continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance, the view is expansive and unobstructed. The spherical 'starry sky' bubble dome features 360° panoramic glass, allowing you to enjoy lake views, sunrises, and even the Milky Way at night, all from the comfort of your bed. The room also has a private terrace, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere of Sayram Lake.
The owner provided excellent service 👍. They offered pick-up from the East Gate Tourist Center of Sayram Lake to the hotel, and the breakfast was very rich.
The second-floor platform where breakfast is served offers stunning sunset views. The 'Star Curtain' room boasts unbeatable scenic views. My friend and I upgraded to this room, and it was absolutely delightful to watch sunsets, sunrises, and the starry sky, all while lying down and gazing at Sayram Lake. We were also lucky enough to see snow-capped mountains in late September, right from our bed. This was by far the most satisfying and relaxing hotel on our Northern Xinjiang trip! 👍

Aiyo~weiyaWhen I booked the yurt, my simple desire was to bring my 4-and-a-half-year-old to experience Kazakh culture and a different way of life. But...
Surprise 1: Located at the highest point of Sai Lake, I could wake up to watch the sunrise and even see the entire lake. For adults, the view is incredible.
Surprise 2: The owners are a family of three. Their son is a handsome Kazakh man who speaks Mandarin the best in the family. He handles all customer communications, making communication seamless. The family is incredibly friendly and helpful, and they'll do their best to satisfy any request, as long as they can.
Surprise 3: They have a herd of cattle, and another family on the hill behind them has a herd of sheep. They also have two sheepdogs and several horses. It's a truly delightful experience for children. They can play with the dogs, talk to the lambs, ride horses, and ride horses... And they even learned to distinguish between sheep and cow dung, as it's so common and natural.
Surprise 4: For dinner, we ordered lamb skewers, braised lamb chops, and pilaf. Two adults and one child couldn't finish them all; the portions were generous and the flavors were excellent. The clear mutton soup had no mutton smell at all (it's best to order it in advance, as it takes about two hours to simmer).
Of course, if you're choosing a yurt, you should be prepared. Only consider choosing one if you can accept the following: 1) There's no private toilet, only a dry toilet, and no showers. 2) There's a stove inside, and you have to add the charcoal yourself at night, otherwise it won't last until the next morning. 3) The standard of cleanliness should be comparable to other yurts, not five-star hotels.
Overall, if I were to stay in this area again, I would still choose this yurt.

Guest UserIt's really wise to come to Sailimu Lake to choose this one! The hotel is very close to the new visitor center. In the morning, you don't have to get up early to go to the scenic spot, saving a lot of toss. The room is spacious and bright, the window is facing the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and you can see the scenery while lying on the bed. The boss is super enthusiastic, not only helping with luggage, but also reminding us of the best time to watch the sunrise and blue tears, and the service details are directly full!

Guest UserIf you can stand the dry toilets in the countryside, come here! I actually lived in the summer pasture of Kazakh herdsmen! The experience is super great! Sunset, starry sky, sunrise, herds of cattle and sheep, enthusiastic puppies. There are so many kinds of sheep calls. Marmots running all over the hillside in the early morning. Before going up the mountain, I washed up at the Dianjiangtai parking lot. I also brought some tap water in a bottle and some wet wipes, so I could clean myself. I just washed it briefly at night. The yurt had a stove, it was not cold, and I also boiled hot water. The landlord gave me small peaches and apricots, sweet! The key is to see the sheep herding up close and ride a horse, happy and happy! There is electricity available at night.

Like many other hotels in Xinjiang, as always, the wet and dry are not separated, and the bath and toilet are together. Saihu is famous, and the surrounding accommodation and dining are expensive. This hotel is cost-effective. Very close to the east gate of the scenic spot, surrounded by apartment-type homestays. Breakfast is not included (maybe the standard here), the porridge shop at the gate is more expensive than the super first-tier cities. There is no cold air conditioning here, maybe consider the situation in winter. On the first floor, there is a little brother responsible for registration.

The hotel is located in the commercial street of Saihu Scenic Area. It is a bustling area. It is very convenient for dining and shopping (the prices around the scenic area are too high and the price is very poor), not far from Saihu Scenic Area. Hotel facilities are relatively new, facilities are relatively complete, the overall service is not bad, but there is no elevator, even the second floor room, it will be a bit difficult for families with large luggage.

Staying in a yurt at Sayram Lake is an absolute treat! Not only do you get to witness the stunning golden sunrise over the mountains, but you also get to savor incredibly authentic Kazakh cuisine. The owner's hand-grabbed lamb, milk tea, and roasted meat are all phenomenal – so fresh and delicious. Enjoying a warm, home-style meal after watching the sunrise just fills you with so much joy! 🥩 The yurt's location is fantastic; step right out to breathtaking lake and snow-capped mountain views. After dinner, a stroll along the lake, with the breeze blowing, is pure bliss! The accommodation is also very clean and comfortable, and the service is incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend!

The accommodation is located within the Sayram Lake scenic area, about a 5-minute walk from the Bai Niao Lake entrance for sightseeing and photography. The hotel is surrounded by a lake and grassland, creating a beautiful environment. The rooms are all unique and nicely constructed with wood, and they are clean. Having breakfast provided would make it perfect! 🤝
