This guesthouse in Narat was the biggest surprise of our Xinjiang trip. The location is superb, offering stunning views of vast mountains and grasslands right from our room. Most of the manager and staff are young local Kazakhs, with one Han Chinese guy too. Everyone was well-trained, genuinely warm, and incredibly thoughtful towards guests.
The room facilities were complete, and the bedding was great. Every evening, there was a bonfire party in the courtyard where you could sing karaoke. On our first night, the kids had a blast singing. When it started raining later, the staff thoughtfully held umbrellas for the children, which deeply touched the parents.
The guesthouse chef is excellent; we had dinner there, and every dish was delicious. In the evening, you can also order kebabs and beer, enjoying the breeze in the courtyard while gazing at the mountains. The young Kazakh men even kept bringing us delicious local watermelon.
The local Xinjiang milk for breakfast was absolutely amazing, and the lamb buns were thin-skinned, generously filled, and bursting with juicy lamb flavor.
The guesthouse's star dog, Chocolate, a Border Collie, is super cute and friendly. He loves naan bread, regular bread, and egg yolks. Every morning, he'd join us for breakfast. When I’d break off a piece of naan for him, he’d delicately take it, careful not to let his teeth touch my hand.

Guest UserJust arrived back to Singapore from Xinjiang, and i am already miss the cool weather and great views.
After staying in many hotels and homestay, the one that left the most impression was still this 宿心一号院, was introduced by a friend and got amazed by it in many ways.
Firstly the environment, Xinjiang is well-known for great natural scenes and this place demonstrates it perfectly.
The yard is blooming with flowers and filled with many trees. For a second, i thought the flowers and grass are fake as they look so fine.
The place is serene and chill, i could just spend the day just on the well maintaijed yard.
I spent few hours on the chair on the grass patch just to look at the moutains and let the warm sun do its magic.
In late April, i managed to catch both side of perks. In front of me, i am witnessing moutains turning green by day. And if i just turn around, my eyes are filled with gorgeous snow mountains.
I was blown away by the scenery, and totally lost track of time.
The owner spent great effort on designing the place and creating the atmosphere.
You would see a friendly cat roaming around freely and few cute rabbits chewing on the grass。
was told that more flowers are hiding under the grounds and trees are waiting to bear fruits.
There is a backyard where they grow vegetables and fruits, raissd over 100 chickens just to provide the freshness.
They also have a tree house that is facing the river, that is where i would stay the next time.
Must be great waking up to see a river in front of you.
Secondly the food, they provide awesome breakfast. Organic fresh ingredients with the magic hand from the local chef make magics. I don't usually eat tomatoes but can't say no to their tomatoes fried eggs.
Their chicken are self-raised and you can expect the nothing but quality.
大盘鸡 dapanji, also known as big plate chicken, love the potatoes that comes with it.
The best potatoes ever!
Also did order some of the local dishes, all is good.
Lastly, the host and staff are the highlights of the stay.
The host is a humorous gentleman that is filled with passion, he shared with me many things and can tell he loves what he do.
He gave me quire a few food recommendations on the possible places to go, what to skip and what to expect. Cant find a better local guide than him.
The staffs too are interesting people, managed to understand Xinjiang better with their help. It was fun to talk to young people that is filled with energy.

MayayayaaMy overall stay far exceeded expectations, definitely a five-star experience! The room cleaning was meticulous and thorough, with no dust in the corners. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and there was no musty or strange smell. The mattress was just right – not too soft, not too hard – and the soundproofing was excellent. It was quiet and peaceful at night, allowing me to sleep soundly until morning. The front desk staff were gentle and patient, and check-in was efficient. They promptly answered all my questions. The surrounding area is very convenient for dining and getting around, with complete amenities. The price was fair with no hidden costs. This is now my top choice for accommodation, and I've already saved it!

Our family of four drove to Ili and stayed at this hotel in Nalati. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for families with children!
The location is superb. It's just a few minutes' drive to the entrance of the Nalati River Valley Grassland Scenic Area, so there's no need to rush in the morning. It was especially convenient for traveling with our 12-year-old and 6-year-old children. There's also a large free parking lot right at the entrance, so parking was absolutely stress-free for our self-drive trip.
The front desk staff were warm and attentive. Check-in was quick, and they proactively upgraded us to a spacious family room. The room was ample, with a clean and tidy wet/dry separation, stable hot water, soft bedding, and excellent soundproofing. The kids, tired from playing, slept very soundly at night. The hotel thoughtfully provided children's toiletries and small slippers – the attention to detail was top-notch.
The breakfast offered a rich variety, including congee, steamed buns, and fruits, which suited the children's tastes. The authentic local lamb and mixed noodles in the restaurant were delicious and reasonably priced.
The surrounding environment is quiet. Opening the window, we could see the distant grassland mountains. A stroll in the evening, enjoying the grassland breeze, was incredibly therapeutic. The staff patiently explained the Nalati touring routes and gave many helpful tips to avoid common pitfalls.
This was the most comfortable night's stay on our entire Northwest trip, and the value for money was excellent. We'll definitely choose this place again on our next visit to Nalati!

JihetingbaiqiHygiene: The room was generally clean and tidy. The bedding, bathroom, and public areas were well-maintained. I was quite satisfied with the hygiene during my stay.
Environment: The overall decor was quite stylish, and the lobby was spacious and beautiful with excellent views directly overlooking the grasslands. The room decor and overall quality were also good. The hotel is very close to the entrance of the Nalati Scenic Area. We happened to encounter rain on the day of our check-in, so we decided to skip the scenic area and spent most of the day relaxing and watching shows at the hotel, which was quite comfortable.
Service: The staff generally had a great service attitude and were friendly in their communication. On the day of our stay, our takeout order was delivered to the wrong place. The butler, Ayao, spent about one to two hours searching for it, and thankfully, it was eventually found. I hope they can further optimize the process for receiving, storing, and handing over takeout orders in the future.
Facilities: The hotel's hardware facilities were generally good, and the room was well-equipped. The washing and drying facilities were particularly convenient for long-distance self-driving tourists like us. We were able to use our free time to wash and dry the clothes that had accumulated during our journey.
Overall, the hotel performed very well in terms of location, environment, and hardware, especially its proximity to the scenic area entrance and the beautiful grassland views. Even if the weather was bad and we couldn't go out, relaxing at the hotel was quite comfortable. The service was generally good, though there's still room for improvement in some management details.

Guest UserStaying in Narat during our self-driving trip in Northern Xinjiang, the Yimei Hotel exceeded our expectations! The hotel is right in the heart of the town, very close to the Narat scenic area, making travel super convenient. There are plenty of parking spaces, which is a real blessing for self-drivers. The rooms are clean and bright, equipped with smart toilets, silent mini-fridges, and air purifiers – a thoughtful touch given the dry grassland environment. The common areas include a gym and a laundry room, which is great for washing and drying clothes during your trip. The breakfast offers a wide variety, including local specialty noodles. The staff are responsive and provide excellent service. Overall, the hotel's facilities are top-tier in Narat, suitable for both families and groups. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Narat!

Guest UserThey offer a service to purchase self-driving tickets, which is super helpful, especially during peak season. The room itself is a large converted container, and the air conditioning works really well, making it quite comfortable inside. There's also a small garden outside where you can play cards before sunset, which is very pleasant. I arrived around 4 PM, and there was only one young lady at the front desk handling both check-ins and ticket bookings. She was incredibly busy! I hope they can add more staff in the future.

Facilities: very new
Hygiene: clean and refreshing
good environment
Service: The boss and his family are very nice. As soon as we entered the door, the boss saw that our license plate was from Anhui, and he told us that their hometown is also from Anhui! The boss and his family are very enthusiastic. The boys and girls at the front desk are very enthusiastic and will take the initiative to help guests with their luggage. This time I met Mingdu Hotel in Nalati. I was very lucky. I also read other people’s reviews on Ctrip. Very good, then I chose it, and I was really not disappointed
